Interested in electronics, rustlang, Godot game dev, but mostly I'm just good at complaining. Well over a decade of experience in Python on desktop, web and embedded.

We believe in science and trans rights, among many other things, but this is account is intended as my geekery refuge from everything that's working against that.

Programmers are usually fed a steady diet of features and bug fixes. But occasionally they get to work on performance problems. This development methodology is known as intermittent fasting.
The Geometry3D class in #godotengine has some really useful utility functions. They even get a little wild: There's one which can convert a mesh into a set of tetrahedrons. I can only think of one gamedev relevant use for that: "destroy" an object by replacing it with tetrahedral rigid bodies. (Which would still be pretty complex, but at least the geometry conversion is provided.)

Not a total brick-wall-in-the-face ending, but not exactly a denouement.

THATS IT.

The most impressive part is the live action actors are just miming and they don't even have a tennis ball on a stick like modern greenscreen actors do. #monsterdon

My skeleton makes screams that sound just like that. #monsterdon
The rear projected stop motion technique was pretty good but the loss of quality on the background is brutal. #Monsterdon
