Can't believe this #WWDC Vishnu and I's little clock app for #visionOS got sherlocked by Apple! /s In all reality it was only a mater of time, it's exciting to see how widgets are expanding and I love the idea of more content persisting. Excited to download the beta!

Huge thanks to everyone who tuned in to the Creature Feature on @ign.com yesterday! We announced @laserdancegame.bsky.social is coming to Early Access in fall, and also showed off some new gameplay footage. Here's a short behind the scenes for how we shot it! 🎥 1/9 🧵

Sometimes I forget hand tracking is part of #ARKit on #visionOS and thus requires an AR Session in Unity scene to work...spent way too long debugging that one...

I recently finished the @pikuma.com course on making a 2D game engine with C++, SDL, ImGui and Lua! 10/10 highly recommend it. It was fun to get a deeper understanding on how all the pieces fit together and really explore ECS from an implementation side. I made a tilemap level editor as a bonus!

When debugging on #visionOS it can be helpful to view the eye gaze cursor sometimes. You can enable it via accessibility settings under Interaction / Pointer Control

Have you ever wanted to put "stuff" in Mixed Reality? I implemented the poisson disc sampling algorithm for AR Planes in #Unity. It's setup to customize how content appears, what content and which surfaces. It's open source and supports #MetaQuest and #AppleVisionPro github.com/DanMillerDev...

Finishing up some documentation and videos but I'm excited to release this 🔜. A small collection of cross platform mixed reality features and utilities.

Two goals I have this year for personal development are to try and maintain a commit streak on github and learn Vim motions. The first one is just about showing up, I have lots of small projects but sometimes getting started is the hardest part. The second is something fun to learn and practice.

Just found out HasFlag uses boxing so it's not great performance wise! Special thanks to @andybiar.bsky.social

Dan Miller @danmillerdev.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

I thought I was being clever with early returning with enum.HasFlag(enum.None) but it turns out HasFlag will ALWAYS return true for the none value. Turns out it's "by design" learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet...

learn.microsoft.com

Enum.HasFlag(Enum) Method (System)

Determines whether one or more bit fields are set in the current instance.

Had a big "this worked yesterday" moment and spent awhile trying to figure out what happened. Somehow my unity project Physics settings (DynamicsManager.asset) set the Physics GameObject SDK to None. 🙃 I knew something was weird when rigidbodys wouldn't fall in play mode

This year I want to prototype a few ideas I've had for Mixed Reality games and experiences. I just finished the first one. A tamagotchi-esque sim that lets you take care of a little emoji friend, feed him and play with him 🐢 #AppleVisionPro #XR #MixedReality

Was working on a rough implementation of a feature late last night and just couldn't get it working. Woke up this morning and remembered I'd hit this problem before and worked on a solution with my buddy Arturo. Found the old repo with the last commit from 3 years ago 😮

Dan Miller @danmillerdev.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

This wasn’t on my bingo card. Pretty disappointed in #seconddinner for not even warning the players of the possibility. I’m sure a lot of people spent money this month on the season pass and more.

Ran into a bug where things just totally broke when I loaded a new scene. Tried debugging it for a couple days and then got fed up and made a really small repo project...except it didn't repo 🙃 Finally figured out the issue by sharing some code and rubber duckying with a coworker 🦆
