  As someone with little knowledge of game dev or software in general I am impressed at how Jonathan seems to encourage understanding deep structure / generalizable properties of an ontology AKA knowing the deep shit about shit, as part of the learning process. Increasingly rare style of teaching because of the state of our complex systems which is too long to sketch out here. Thank you Jonathan, you've opened up a new door for me.

  I always define C++ lambdas at the top of the function and then call them at the bottom. This means that even when I capture everything by reference, the only thing that I end up capturing is the parent function's parameters.

  I don't know if Jon knows much about Stoicism or Buddhism, but he seems to have discovered some of their core tenants through his own technical-oriented mind. Instead of approaching it from a spiritual or philosophical mode, he describes it like a computational process. I've heard mental health professionals compare our physical bodies to hardware and our mental faculties to software, which would make the interface between the two analogous to drivers. So, if our hardware and software disagree about the state of the world, of course there will be problems. The analogy has helped me over the years at least.

  I think the problem is not following the rules of the game, if the water behaves like water it should behave like water not like weird conveyer belts, and the design should bend to the fact of water physics, if you want rivers you need real physical world rivers, is you want ocean currents you need the mechanics that produce ocean currents etc, if you want a magical world were water behaves weird then you must declare the rules of this world and make the "water" behave according to that

  any Techniques is a band aid or coping mechanism that solves nothing unless it leads to action. it is not you that needs to change in a way, it is the way that you live and how you interact with the world and others. this is hard to explain. lets say you live in a dystopia, you then have to solve the dystopia system. dismantle it and build an utopia.

  Initializing floats to NaN is a really great thing to have for debugging - but it's not a good idea for when you need to ship code most of the time. My thoughts: have a simple way to tell the compiler to use different initialization values for all default variable declarations.

  Mr Blow, PLEASE have a look at Zig-Lang, a programming language with similar design goals as JAI & an increasing momentum which is also still in its alpha/development phase for the simple reason so as to avoid reinventing the wheel or missing out interesting new ideas in language design. Andrew Kelly, its main designer, is also a game developer who actually builds programs he's using. One of the main design goals of Zig over other languages is that it doesn't try to prevent you to do low-level things, but instead tries to make it obvious & explicit what you're actually doing & allow arbitrary compile-time execution. It also has a lot of promising ideas around basic integer & bit field types which I haven't seen in any other language. Zig also reuses the LLVM compiler infrastructure so it reuses its mid-end optimization & back end modules so it can currently produce code for any platform which LLVM can run on.

  I've been coding my first 3d-engine, it's made with Powerpoint VBA (don't ask, its a demoscene wild demo flex). and it is visualized by drawing triangle shapes using the shape-system of office programs. So in a way it doesn't draw pixels as such, only triangles, but after implementing all the occlusion culling and simple normal angle lighting systems it dawned on me that creating a proper Z-buffer using triangles will be most likely impossible without a proper per pixel z-buffer. As I've been sorting the triangles in screen by the middle point of the polygon there is considerable z-fighting on some 3d-models. But moving away from the shapes-system defeats the joke, I might need an old-school 3d-modeler to tell me how to model for such engines..

  in second though, you are totaly complicating this thing, you dont need to traverse your entities multiple times, if you need speed, then you add "collecg geometry" to your entities, you make a pass, and you collect all the geometry data you need for rendering, this way you still pay only once for cache misses, but you end up with a buffer that is compatible for the gpu, then you render this buffer as many times as you need. and this way you dont need all this low level of control of your memory layout. - so you still have simple inheritence which is useful, and you have your speed.

  For me, it's the opposite. Books don't require any kind of an attention span, but video games do. Let me explain: you can quickly pick up the book, read for a few minutes while on a bus or something, then quickly put them down. You're free and start or stop at any time. Meanwhile, to play video games, you have to actually sit down, launch it, wait through loading screen, etc. To exit, you have to find next checkpoint, and only then you can exit. You _have to_ invest a minimum amount of time, or you'll have no progress.

  When it comes to the world 2 "pattern break" puzzle, while it's been a long time since I played the game, I do remember at the time really liking it. Not sure if I would call it a "hook", because it's not the point of the game, but it's this cool surprise that just got me more interested and engaged, wondering what else this game might have up it's sleeve. I guess another way to put it is that it adds some intrigue. I feel like a lot of games might put something like this later in the game (if they do it at all), when there has been more of an established pattern and to just keep the player interested, but I can definitely see why world 2 made the most sense in this case.

  "Relate the rules of the universe to the fiction" I would be careful with such statements as they are intellectually blunt, if you want to be taken seriously. "Systemic rules within a fiction" is more appropriate as you cannot really claim "rules of the universe" with certainty. Does the game reveal any insights about physics at all?

  In response to what we do with world one if we can't rewind time for death. You could have death the instigator of the time powers, then it immediately boots you to world 2 and removes world 1 as an option and also make death the final event of the story and the catalyst of rewinding time that you only realize after you finish the last level. That gives thematic meaning and gameplay significance. But maybe too metaphysical or on the nose or not the meaning you wanted to convey with time powers. Thanks again for these, I have been enjoying the remaster on my switch in between making my own game.

  1:04:00 It’s so weird to me hearing him talk about how that puzzle can’t easily be fixed when in my mind it could be fixed in literally five minutes by just swapping the puzzle piece you need to complete it from the Hunt! level with one of the pieces from Three Easy Pieces. That way the puzzle would be solvable for 99.9999% of people when they first encounter it. Instead of completely impossible for everyone. Am I missing something? Why didn’t he do that? All he had to do was swap the positions of 2 assets and his problems go away.
