I love rust

Aqua•10/18/23, 6:07 PM

AAqua no?

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 6:07 PM

Autocorrect

Aqua•10/18/23, 6:07 PM

yeah haha

PPerksey I love rust

Aqua•10/18/23, 6:09 PM

yea rust is great
i had a long rant to a friend yesterday about my problems with it but i can kinda look past them because of how nice the language is
.. except for the lack of multiple mutable borrows
which i get
but its also incredibly frustrating and is the reason i have been unsuccessful in developing a game engine in rust

AAqua but like if i call this for example you can see it returns the device directly i...

Aqua•10/18/23, 6:10 PM

ahhhh right now i see how this works too

Aqua•10/18/23, 6:10 PM

it just adds a reference to the

ComPtr

ComPtr

Aqua•10/18/23, 6:11 PM

alright cool so

clone

clone

is a perfectly valid way of doing things too

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 6:13 PM

yeah that’s what I mean, you want to pass around a COM instance without adding a ref? Just move it. Can’t do that? You should probably add a ref by cloning it.

Aqua•10/18/23, 6:13 PM

yeah

Aqua•10/18/23, 6:14 PM

i just wasn't sure if the interface types still acted like COM objects or more like rust ones, but they are COM which is good

Aqua•10/18/23, 6:14 PM

makes it easier than doing this nonsense

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 6:15 PM

generally the language projections try to use the mechanism that is most in line with what the rest of the ecosystem around that language does

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 6:15 PM

for example CsWin32 uses the built in COM interop unless you ask it very nicely not to do that

Furball•10/18/23, 6:42 PM

i wanna use rust but i dont know how to structure programs that work well with it

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 6:45 PM

if it's multi-threaded, actor pattern. otherwise, idk just writing code usually works i've found i've never really had to think about it for non-multi-threaded, non-async.

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 6:45 PM

but then again i've pretty much exclusively used async with Rust bar a few small ASN.1 manipulation programs

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 6:46 PM

the

rasn

rasn

crate is the best ASN.1 experience you will ever find on this planet

Kai•10/18/23, 6:47 PM

return to imperative programming, embrace zig when

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 7:06 PM

wow my first cup of tea of the day has just evaporated

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 7:06 PM

it's clearly going to be tough one today

PPerksey wow my first cup of tea of the day has just evaporated

Lyris the Kitori•10/18/23, 7:06 PM

my bad i eated it

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 7:12 PM

DAMN IT BEYLEY

Maxine•10/18/23, 7:51 PM

18 percent of americans are on opioids

Aqua•10/18/23, 8:02 PM

87.5% of facts are made up

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:25 PM

hmm question

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:25 PM

which api do people prefer?

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:26 PM

let texture = Texture2D::new(&graphics, "path");

let texture = Texture2D::new(&graphics, "path");

let texture = graphics.create_texture_2d("path");

let texture = graphics.create_texture_2d("path");

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:26 PM

implementation is the same, its just style at this point

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:26 PM

i'm torn between them

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:27 PM

i'm kinda leaning towards the first as it seems a bit more concise but

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 9:32 PM

i prefer the latter

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 9:33 PM

it's only 1 character extra as well haha

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:33 PM

hmmmmm

Maxine•10/18/23, 10:05 PM

the second one has better separation of concerns

Maxine•10/18/23, 10:05 PM

the texture belongs to the graphics, not the other way around

khitiara•10/18/23, 10:09 PM

yup

Aqua•10/18/23, 10:09 PM

yeah good points

Aqua•10/18/23, 10:09 PM

i'll do that then

Aqua•10/18/23, 10:10 PM

i've since revised my planned api in the meantime so this sort of

create_x

create_x

api makes a lot more sense now

Aqua•10/19/23, 12:36 AM

also creating a safe wrapper around d3d11 while i'm at it

Aqua•10/19/23, 12:37 AM

yes, these functions should be returning results, i will add that later

Aqua•10/19/23, 12:41 AM

etc

Hey everyone! I'm working on adding a bit of UI into my game and engine and I've found FontStashSharp, and thanks to previous questions I've found quite a few answers and got it running, but, I'm curious if anyone knows a way to set it to be bottom left origin instead of top left? I'd prefer to keep +Y up if possible? I'm not the strongest with matrix math but if there's some transform I can apply during the DrawQuad callback in IFontStashRenderer2 or maybe a setting or something I'm missing?
