    GitHub - ibizaman/skarabox: Opinionated and simplified headless NixOS installer. github.com

    This description is a repost of what was said about the project on the nix discourse SkaraboxOS provides a flake template which combines: - Creating a bootable ISO, installable on an USB key. - nixos-anywhere to install NixOS headlessly. - disko 1 to format the drives. - deploy-rs 2 to deploy updates. SkaraboxOS expects a particular hardware layout: - 1 SSD or NVMe drive for the OS. - 2 Hard drives that will store data. Capacity depends on the amount of data that will be stored. They will be formatted in Raid 1 (mirror) so each hard drive should have the same size. WARNING: The 3 disks will be formatted and completely wiped out of data. At the end of the process, the server will: - Have an encrypted ZFS root partition using the NVMe drive, unlockable remotely through ssh. - Have an encrypted ZFS data hard drives. - Be accessible through ssh for administration and updates.

    Keywords in what I said being "everyone on reddit knows what reddit is". Had that there since a lot of comparisons of lemmy being similar to reddit happened on reddit itself but if people are talking on lemmy or elsewhere the comparison shouldnt come up unless the other user initiates that (especially if theres more people like you and we would then be sending traffic to reddit with the comparison)

    The issue comes up when people youre talking to dont know what youre using as a comparison

    Article mentions that if they mention something then its fair to say how youre similar / differences but the person youre talking to has to initiate that. For people on reddit everyone on reddit knows what reddit is as they are using it so comparisons to it can be made on posts there

    I usually just ask users on mastodon in dms whether theyre fine with me posting it here and then make a completely new post if they say yes. For the actual video I download it from mastodon then usually shrink it to around half width and height and optimize it a bit so its within the lemmy file size limit

    For actual crossposts from mastodon only the original author can do that and by tagging the lemmy community

  • gamedev Game Development Managing enemy spawn large world
    Jump
  • mac mac 7 months ago 100%

    I dont know how larger games do it but it mostly depends on what kinds of enemies and what genre of game youre doing.

    If you have a lot of enemies that will be spawned and despawned and they are mostly the same you can do an object pool where instead of destroying the object it gets hidden and added to the back of the pool for another enemy to spawn in as in the future by showing it and moving it to the correct spot

    In terms of when to spawn it usually (assuming youre doing most genres) you can just spawn it right outside the view of the player when they hit a trigger. In games I usually make enemies are spawned on a timer since it tends to be more arcade like and in that case you usually just spawn them outside the range of the player in a random location around a radius after X amount of time has passed

    Can give more specific things if I know the genre

    Also downvote is likely someone from the all feed

    Lemmy is indexed so can be found on search engines while discord cant

    For internal search without using a search engine discord has had way more devs, time and money thrown at it. Still would say its barely better than lemmy (just is cause of the time filters)
