@Binkle @NEETzsche Haven't heard of it until just now. It seems interesting.

@NEETzsche Which is partly why I avoid using them. Frameworks like Pygame, MonoGame, and Love2D are good enough if you are just doing 2D stuff. If I was doing 3D, I would probably use an engine.

@NEETzsche Maps.

@Binkle Placing tiles isn't that bad because you have some visual representation, but placing objects is a bitch since you have no visual representation of the non-tile objects.

For my next project, I'm considering creating my own (non-XML) format because I fucking hate DOM.

@Binkle I use the MonoGame framework. My level format is just basically an XML file. I have a tilemap and then a list of objects. I have to manually write the XML files because I'm too lazy to make a level editor.

But if I do switch, then I have to relearn everything even if it would be much easier. The only reason why I didn't use an existing engine in the first place, was because I wanted to feel special.

But whatever, MonoGame is decent enough and I still think I can handle the shortcomings of using a framework over a full engine.

@ItsSkyDragonz There are huge pockets of mass non-compliance going around all over the world. They are just not broadcasted. I know that there are some small businesses in Europe and Australia that aren't following mandates.

@ItsSkyDragonz If I get any flu-like symptoms, I try my best to hide it so I don't have to get tested.

I'm starting to realize how fucking tedious it is to implement levels among other things manually. Maybe I should just use an actual engine like Godot.

@beardalaxy Glad that nobody in my family has gone tranny yet.

@beardalaxy This is basically why Duke Nukem Forever was stuck in development hell.
