From what I can tell, stack overflow is not meant for research questions. The questions should be somewhat specific to you and your problem. There is a good and bad way to tell someone this. For some reason, I always see the bad way. It's so easy just to point someone in the right direction or let them know nicely that their question is outside the scope of the website.

Hey Gabe, this series so far has been excellent but somewhere during the process of making the Batch Render and abstracting a lot of the code in the LevelEditorScene class I lost the ability to display the shader onto the screen and only am displaying a small white box that is a few pixels big onto the window. My window posts and I have absolutely no errors in the output console. I have watched the video several times and my code is exactly the same as yours. The default.glsl file is also completely fine. When I check for FPS that is good as well. The only problem is that I cannot post the shader to the screen besides a small colorless box. So im not really sure what the issue is.

This game is great, but remove cave sounds please I used to get so scared I would leave the word if one of them plays

Basically you've already shown why it happens. And the same used to happen on Usenet newsgroups long before Stack Overflow was even invented. The common theme is not newbie questions, but that these questions often scream a complete lack of effort on the side of the person who asked the question. Have you ever learned something, studying the available material, doing your research and then, during the exam, someone just copied your answers and though he did not understand a thing, got rewarded anyway? Have you ever had this one friend who would just have other people do his homework, got all the praise, having spent no effort for it? Did it feel bad? If you're asking a question that you could've answered yourself doing a quick Google search, you're not asking others for help, you're trying to use others to do your work and this is what is infuriating some people. Sure, some things can be borderline, but the string.split answer for example was spot on. I can totally understand that some people, who have a hard time reading or getting to grips with regular expressions, like me, are seeking advice by some people who know more than you, but a question like how you can split a string at a simple delimiter has none of the complexity that you need to seek expert advice for, if there are no escapes or other special cases involved that might need advanced techniques like lookahead. If you're too damn lazy to type your question on Google and click through a bunch of simple examples, you deserve no answer on Stack Overflow. This is not hostile, it's the way of others to educate yourself to be self reliant to a minimum degree. "We're not here to do your homework" was a sentence that stood out for me. You don't learn, if you just copy-paste solutions from the internet that you've asked others to provide, every time you have a problem. As a newbie it's a good advice to describe what you tried or what you think, so people can see you've spent some effort on solving the problem yourself. This helps getting an answer. And the Stack Overflow site itself asks you to do some research first before asking a question. It even offers answers to past questions that seem similar to your question. But for some reason some people even seem to be too lazy to follow or even read that advice first.

The primary reason I am not pissed off that OpenAI gobbled up all their data.

You are a legend.

That’s why I’m so happy LLMs like ChatGPT have disrupted websites like stack overflow. You can ask these chat bots the dumbest questions and you’ll get a more dignifying response than asking humans on stack overflow a well thought out question.

My primary site was stackoverflow and now my primary site is ChatGPT. The main reason is ChatGPT has NEVER made me rude to me. It is always friendly. It's a loss for stackoverflow as I used to answer questions but now I don't want to contribute to the platform until they cleanup the rudeness(especially the moderators).

Easy questions get loads of answers from reputation hungry losers. Difficult questions get no answers. ChatGPT is way better.

So called “experts” who shun beginners trying to learn don’t deserve any praise whatsoever.

WHOOOOOW!!! 2:19 mario can go inside a tube!!! Amazing!

StackOvferflow is the real proof us dev are socially inapts

Lol before this i literally download all presets except Steamworks 🤣

Dude - you are awesome. Great thank you for your tutorial! Very simple according you and very powerful. Thanks!

unsure how to set this up for visual studio code

fuucking thank you dude

there is a definite optimization possible if you keep a list of boundary pixels as you iterate over the image, on each next pixel you iterate over the boundary pixels, discard the ones now outside the range and additionally check the pixels now inside the range if the current pixels changes state it's a bit trickier but you can reuse the previous boundaries to quickly find all the new boundary pixels

At least ChatGPT doesn't complain about repetitive questions like ToxicOverflow. Those people remind me of a handful of teachers in high school and in college. First day, they say "If you dont understand something, raise your hand and I'll repeat it". When the time comes i didn't catch the teacher the first time they covered it, the teacher says "What? Why? Were you not paying attention? I just covered that." Like why say you're open to student to ask questions for clarity if you're gonna get angry why they do?

Part 2 please🙏

4:29 you are wrong. Static variables are initialized at class loading time which happens when the application interacts with one of it's methods or constructors.

how do you install the minecraft clone?

What's the terms of service vor this video editor? or is it not for sale? haha

Gabe first of all thank you for the great tutorials they are very good and helpful. I have one question about the uid(s). Shouldn't the uid be final. I mean if we assign id to one Component or GameObject we should not be able to change this id ?

The cave gen had to be completely overhauled that and the height maps both had to be changed. This is why 1.17-1.20 took so long.

Thanks a lot, Gabe! 非常感谢！ :)

7:39 he copy and pasted the title card from the perlin noise section and forgot to change the text lmao

Much better to use glDrawElements with 12 vertices (to correspond with an unwrapped cube) than to have gldrawarrays

At the end of the video you say we have to do a logger. I'm sorry but I don't know what a logger is. Can somebody explain me ?

I really don't understand why you only have 70 something likes on this video, it's extremely easy to understand. Even if I have spent weeks on c++ I couldn't have found out how to do all this.

This video is two years old. As in 2024, trafic on stackoverflow is down 70% from its peak. People can now ask a LLM that will answer politely to their question. SO shit their own foot as you can have as much resource you want without needing it. I remember prefering searching myself for an answer instead of asking on SO dueing my end of study internship because I didn't want to get roasted. It was about some low level interaction with a embedded system so nothing trivial. As for the answers like "buy a book"... what if you're a student with no money or are on time constraint. It is as if those SO admin have nothing else to do. SO gives the same vibe as the Arch forum. A bunch of gate keepers that want to continue to enjoy their superiority complex. After that they wonder why people prefer endeavourOS and manjaro forum and OS

2 years later, 10k likes :D

Much love for the engineers here 🖤😂 the neverending debates are what keep the universe expanding, maybe someday we can all understand how it all works

*For those whose framerate jumps from infinity to 30* I had the same problem and I fixed it a day ago. In Time.java, make timeStarted type long not a float. I have a 240 hertz monitor and, probably, the precision of floating point calculations in this case is not enough. You don't need to change others usages of float in your code.

im not even a 4th of the way through tis course and already my mind is blown. it would have taken me years to just do these 9 vids. it takes me about 2 days to wrap my head around just one. anyway finished number 9 with no hiccups this time.

add the jenny mod PLEASE

Nice videos, up until video 6 going into video 6a then you completely lost me and now the entire program fell apart i.e. program dose not work at all. my question is should i by pass video 6a and continue on as though video 6a is not there in the same way it was in the beginning and then go back and put 6a in. Please advise.

dang you make this stuff like your on speed lol one day i want to be able to write like you.

Watching this two years later and it's hugely helpful. Most of the tutorials out there are way too basic for people with programming experience.

thanks! good vidio do more!

can someone please explain to me how this works and how to make it? 5:52 also how do seeds work? I want to make seeds so my mean filter / blur noise can produce the same results using seeds but i dont know how to implement it.

ive never hated c# till now, iam trying to follow this tutorial in c# but the font class in c# has nothing to work with

Very helpful

Hey Gabe, I'm worried about what you said about Java and the C++ advantages, the game engines made for Java like Libgdx or Jmonkey are not good?

ANYONE STILL NOT GETTING THE SQUARE HERES SOME TIPS 1st use the git hub for the project to see if it even works. i did this and found that i screwed up my vertexshaderssrc I also found out that my math for int vertexSizeBytes = positionSize + colorSize * floatSizeBytes; should have been int vertexSizeBytes = (positionSize + colorSize) * floatSizeBytes; check everything over!!

finished school work then had time to knock out this video 3 tonight WOO! i feel like im making so much progress.

ill admit that gradle thing gave me many hiccups but aside from that, this tutorial is very nice!

impressing, but, I added "Hobby Horsing" to Minecraft - just saying :D

We really need more videos like this but on subjects other than the terrain generations
