Question: Hey Justin, hope you're well. Do you find the Win32 docs lacking/frustrating? Things are so difficult to lookup unless you know exactly which function/constant/etc you're looking for. Also, I'd imagine you're not, but - do you use any graphics api stuff for Reaper (DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan)? Assuming you do, are there any applications you find frame-by-frame rendering useful over standard GDI blits? Assuming you don't, are there any obvious things you'd refactor to use 'heavyweight' rendering? Thanks :) Asked by jack (146.70.134.x) on October 16 2022, 4:31pm Reply on October 17 2022, 1:35pm: A little bit, but it's also a lot better than the docs for other platforms. It's a lot easier now than it was 25 years ago! Re: GDI vs OpenGL -- we use OpenGL for various bits (video renderers and such) but in general drawing to a bitmap and blitting it seems good enough all around. 1 Comment...

Question: Do you think this far right wing wave(Trump, Bolsonaro, Meloni, Boris Johnson...) that took the world by storm in the last 5 -6 years will end soon ?

I can't predict the future. Obviously I think it is a bad thing. Which isn't to say I'm not critical of other (non-fascist) governments, they have their issues that need to be corrected, but they are definitely far less bad. Comment...

Question: Hey Justin, hope youre having a nice weekend. Do you have any naming conventions or style standards you are adamant about? Thanks :) Asked by jack (185.213.154.x) on October 9 2022, 1:44pm Reply on October 9 2022, 4:38pm: One I really care about is if you have a struct/class with a nontrivial amount of member function code, to prefix the data members of that class with m_ -- both to avoid accidental collisions with local variables, and also to make it obvious from reading the code that the variable in question is a member. There are other things that are handy, e.g. making functions that are used only in one file static, which when you're editing you can then rest assured that you don't need to grep the rest of the codebase (just the current file) to see if it is used elsewhere. 6 Comments...
