CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like Unreal or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d

This guide contains some helpful information on how to actively contribute to mods. This guide is targeted towards contributors that may not have much technical experience and will only require the GitHub web UI. This guide is perfect for localizations, datapack changes, and other small scale changes. Larger code changes and experienced developers should not use this guide.

Forking the Mod

To start contributing to a mod on GitHub you need to fork it first. Forking a mod simply creates a copy of the projects code and assets that you can freely modify without directly affecting the original project. This can be done by signing in to GitHub, navigating to the repository page of the project you want to contribute to, and then clicking the Fork button on the top right of the page.

Clicking the fork button will bring you to a "Create a new fork" page that allows you to configure your fork before creating it. Make sure the owner is set to your profile and tha

Generate M3U Playlist from foobar2000 UPnP/DLNA Server

I have many songs stored in foobar2000 on Windows, and I wanted to listen to them from other Macs or tablets. foobar2000 mac and foobar2000 mobile seemed suitable for this purpose, but it took a long time to list the songs. So I used this script to create a playlist in advance to save me the trouble.

How to use

step 0: create playlist in your foobar2000
step 1: install UPnP/DLNA Renderer, Server, Control Point in your foobar2000
- and make some configuration
step 2: install pip packages

How To Work With Multiple Github Accounts on a single Machine

Let suppose I have two github accounts, https://github.com/rahul-office and https://github.com/rahul-personal. Now i want to setup my mac to easily talk to both the github accounts.

NOTE: This logic can be extended to more than two accounts also. :)

The setup can be done in 5 easy steps:

Steps:

Step 1 : Create SSH keys for all accounts
Step 2 : Add SSH keys to SSH Agent

Go - The Ultimate Folder Structure

Organizing your Go (Golang) project's folder structure can help improve code readability, maintainability, and scalability. While there is no one-size-fits-all structure, here's a common folder structure for a Go project:

project-root/
    ├── cmd/
    │   ├── your-app-name/
    │   │   ├── main.go         # Application entry point
    │   │   └── ...             # Other application-specific files

Settings URL schemes:

Note: < i=OS 5.1 use prefs:. > 5.1 use app-settings:

app-settings:root=General&path=About
app-settings:root=General&path=ACCESSIBILITY
app-settings:root=AIRPLANE_MODE
app-settings:root=General&path=AUTOLOCK
app-settings:root=General&path=USAGE/CELLULAR_USAGE
app-settings:root=Brightness

Awesome Rust

I learn Rust by reading The Rust Programming Language (aka. TRPL) book.

This is my ~~mind map and~~ collection of resources for learning Rust in early 2019.

I plan to continuously update this list if time allows in future. I will move this into its own GitHub repo or something more permanent when this grow.

Enviroment setup

Test Host is an HP z640 with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz

Device 0 is a GeForce RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate (EVGA) connected via the cheapest USB x1 crypto mining riser I could find online.

Device 1 is a GeForce RTX 3060 (HP OEM) connected via an x16 PCIe 4.0 riser cable (although note that my host does not support past PCIe past 3.0)
