better say hello
Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2022 11:09 pm
Hi
just thought I should say hello and introduce myself, Im Brian, I'm a game programmer and I've been sober f... sorry wrong meeting.
I'm an old fart, been doing game dev for a long time (early 80's) and now teach it to bright young hopefuls who want to be just like me, short, old,fat and Scottish.
Anyway, I am dropping in because my personal passion project is in need of a little update on the sound systems, I am having some problems with them smoothly changing tunes, and need to refactor so I noticed the interesting streaming tutorial on Indiegamedev blog.. which is nicely done.
Im not above looking at other peoples code to see if it can be done better, but I'm also not one to claim credit for work thats not mine. So I'm checking it out, to see if its better than what I cobbled together and if so I'll use what I can and drop a name check in the credits. And if I need some help with it I'm all signed up now to ask.
The game is a big Space resource managment/combat game... written on the Raspberry pi4 becuase I like it. its an ongoing project that I like to show to my students when they complain the Raspberry is crap and they want to play with the PS5 dev kits at my uni. But they can't, till they do something cool on the Pi.
Please fee free to check it out, but its not quite in a playable state yet, still doing a lot of tech stuff and trying to push the Pi4 a bit futher than it was designed for.

I'll let you know if the streaming code is helpful.
