I’m def gonna check out jetpack compose. 👍

I’m still learning how Matrix works. I was on the server but I guess I never joined that room? I’m in now!

This is encouraging, thanks. I admit I first started looking into Kotlin because on the surface it “looked” a bit like Python, but after working a bit with it this morning I don’t think that is the case. I have at least one app that I want to make for my dnd friends(the dice average/weight calculator) but nothing really lined up after that. I would like to make a chat/messenger app with encryption and rooms that automatically delete after a certain time. And playing with stuff like Briar’s Bluetooth mesh capability would be interesting. So I guess that is 2 apps I could toss up on github. Another thing I want to focus on is dusting off my github so I have actual projects to show to potential employers.

I am brain dead lol that the main Matrix space I am in lol.

Tbf, C# and Java are pretty similar so if you are getting a grasp on Java, it shouldn’t be that big of a gap to pick up C#. And C++ is the bigger game dev lang anyway from what I’ve seen. I think sticking with C++ and Unity/Unreal would go a long way.

My last job was feed automation software for feedyards. Almost the entire stack was Java with Primefaces for web stuff and occasional JS for some smaller stuff.

For game dev, I’m already a fan of 2D platformers so a knockoff Mario type game or maybe a small Metroidvania would probably be where I would go and Godot can handle that pretty easily. Although their 3D stuff is starting to look really good.

I am about halfway through the codelab stuff right now and hope to burn through the rest here in the next day. I’m planning on revisiting compact functions because I think they are interesting but a bit confusing and I want to demystify them before moving on.

After that I wanna go through the Udacity courses and hopefully solidify the fundamentals. The Android dev Udacity course is like 30-40 hours or something but it shouldn’t be awful.

We could figure something out if that all works for you. Not sure how to go about it since this is new and I don’t normally put myself out there like this.

I think I’m in there so I can ask around.

Ha no need to apologize. I totes get it. I was eyeballing Godot in the past because their inhouse language is derived from python. My formal education was C# focused, and my professional experience is Java. So Unity and Unreal isn’t too far out of the realm of possibilities. My real issue is that I’m not creative enough I think to make games. I might see about making a basic 2D platformer maybe in the future.

What all do you got going with regards to game dev? I’ve also been somewhat interested in stuff like Godot(since it’s foss) but haven’t really pot too much serious effort into learning it all.

There is a certain elegance to comments from 14 year olds that just learned how to combine words to make softball insults.

Gotta tell my bestie this last strain he got me makes him an anarchist… donno how he’s gonna handle it.

Marx didn’t write a single piece of economic theory about the gays either!

I’ve legit seen this argument online.

I’ve found it way more entertaining to call them conservatives. After they get pissy about that I call them liberal.

Welcome aboard and enjoy your stay!

hol up…

What the fuck is up Denny’s?!?!

I had a religious experience with this bomb ass vegan BBQ Mac and cheese burrito I just ate. Does that count?

Yeah it’s def anti-camping architecture.

Damn they really are the cracker 👀

I also heard Charles Mark last week say that in order for communism to succeed the means of production would have to be siezed by the booger-gee. Otherwise the proleterryate would end up with all the money. Then he went off and killed 67 gorbillion people with his bare hands and took my stuff.
