Sharing a work-in-progress screenshot of my new project: “PADEL 4 PADEL”. I’ve been quietly working on it for a few months now. A 3D sports game is a huge change from the usual 2D puzzle games, but I’m loving it and learning a lot. More info at padel4padel.com ! #padel #padel4padel #gamedev

Hi, it looks like game is going outside the screen. When in game, everything is huge. For information, I launched in Chrome on a 2560x1440 screen. It "kind" of fixes it if I run the game in a tiny browser window and move back to full screen after.

It's in Visual Studio, not VSCode and it's built into the IDE (View, Task List). Not sure if VSCode has anything similar?

Recently, I started using the Task List of VS2022 with TODOs in comments. I checked the 36 TODOs of my prototype and removed 8: - 5 were obsolete (code or design changed) 🙂 - 2 were already done (forgot to remove the TODO) 👌 - 1 case where I just don't understand what I meant 🫠 #gamedev #indiedev

Windows 11 search is really terrible. I was looking for the "Visual Studio Installer" and when I type "Visual Install". I got no results! I can't understand how it's that bad from a company that own a search engine. For files, I'm using "Everything", it's a wonderful tool (www.voidtools.com)

Search for "Visual install" doesn't find anything

Search for "visual s" does find the installer

WASD on a French keyboards translates to ZQSD. Even many AAA games don't support it correctly, it's crazy. (also, I'm left handed so I use IJKL anyway :D)
