Bimbam You want your workflow to be as fast as possible and whatever you can justify paying for will make that process faster.

If you spend 100x the time thinking about what to code than you do running the development tools, as I do, a fast computer doesn't necessarily make the process significantly faster. But when I got a new computer a few years ago, which I seem to do only about every ten years, I bought more power than I really needed (an Intel i9-9900K 3.6GHz CPU with 8 cores / 16 threads, 32GB RAM, two 500GB SSD hard drives) so it wouldn't become obsolete too quickly.

      I assume bit fiddlers who ponder over an algorithm probably spend more time just staring at the screen with funny symbols on it than a person who crunches a lot of data and spends more time waiting for the result (42) with a miner running in the background. All those cache misses, tststs ...

      I hate to say it, but a more responsive OS may also have an influence on the personal perception of felt speed ;-) Otoh, even the lowest level PCs today have so much power ... aww, scrub ... they don't run Windows 😛

      It depends what you are doing, but this is generally true. Most of the time, when I am working, I am not even typing code. I just sit there and think. Sometimes I will lay down on the bed and take a nap, I've gotten good at programming and designing games when I am sleeping. Then after thinking for maybe an hour, I will write a few lines of code, and they usually work. One time I wrote an entire physics engine in a DX12 compute shader, it took about an hour for coding (after a full day of research). And I didn't compile it until it was done, and when I compiled, it worked perfectly with no errors.

          Perhaps, but the time spent waiting is still time wasted if you are focused on the problem at hand and can't bring yourself to reorient your mind on another task while the computers busy doing your thing for you. Which is to say faster is always better, if you can afford it.

              Right. I've had times where a compile took really long, when the app ran, I forgot what I was testing. 😭

                  I just try to do other stuff as I wait, so no time is wasted. Grab a drink, freshen up, eat a meal... play with pets if you have any... Why stare at a loading screen?

                  Hehe :-) And these things happen more and more often the older one gets ...

                  ... or maybe we just become more aware of it ?

                      Maybe our brains are so filled with knowledge, it's hard to add any more.

                      It's shocking how well the "don't feel like it right now" strategy works.

                        I just tried Godot 4.x for a more professional project? I can't use control/z to undo things, tab to go to the next area... It's a bit unusual, but I feel I could get used to it. Are there no shortcuts for 4.x?

                        The undo and redo hotkeys have always been buggy for me in 3.4. But it's not just Godot and it stretches between machines, so I never questioned it. They work normally for you?

                        It's alpha software. Lots of stuff is broken.

                        It's going now, mostly. That was weird. Tab seems to be the only real issue atm.

                        Oh wow this thread is so active.

                        Do yall know any libraries that help with networking stuff?
                        Like adding chat to a game or a lobby system, dealing with latency, or anything like that?

                        Is it feasible to work on a multiplayer game in godot, or is it just better suited for single player

                          And, yeah, this is probably THE most active thread here, from what I can see.
