This would be really useful for the homeless. Nice job!


If thats sarcasm, Homeless are not human?


He didn’t finish, he’s still porting it.


Since this post, he got the 500k LoC core of the game running, rendering to the console in godot and responding to input.

Astonishing, inspirational work.


Astonishing and inspirational is the fact that the game has been in development for 15+ years and still is very well architected and designed to the point that it can be ported with such ease.


They did the smart thing and all of the game core is a separate C# package and they were using Unity mostly for the display bit.

Zero game logic was trapped behind unity, so it was mostly just replacing a few idiosyncrasies between Unity and Godot (X vs x in coordinates and colors being floats vs ints)

Not sure where you live but in Canada and the USA the phone companies legally have to allow you to port your existing number over from one company to another.


You can port your number between providers here in Canada too. I even ported my old landline over to VOIP.


Was that true in the 90s, when Netscape and ISP email addresses were in use?


I remember porting numbers becoming a thing and I was born in 1989 so it must have been late 90s earliest. In Finland though, so don't know about north america


This is what RapGenius (now called Genius) was trying to do. They gave it up though.

No, they don't, you can manually ask for a one-time reset of your ratings before you do a major update. They could have done it here.

You didn't fire yourself, you quit.


It happened at my own company so I thought the title would better illustrate the situation.


If you think the company sucks, you could say you "fired the company".
