@EmbarkStudios Could you add a sound effect in the main menu when you're the last party member that needs to ready up? It'd be a nice signal that the other players are ready to go.

@JosephRAzzam I know this was released a few years ago, but I just watched the presentation and it's amazing. Still the most performant way to simulate lots of static meshes. Any chance you released the project files? I cant find any follow up Tweets on whether they were or not. Ty!

@freetimecoder cool video about PCG rooms and hallways in UE5. Any chance you could release the PCG graph? Im doing some research on making PCG dungeons (rooms + hallways) and this is the progress so far.

Not a complete integration yet, but we're right there with you :D Stay tuned...

@TREE_Industries Cant wait for the retargeting in UE5!! I was just manually assigning skeletal mesh bones this morning and this would so cool to use with a setup pipeline to get these into montages for actors in seconds

@GroveSt_NFT @mtnPay I used this vending machine to buy a T shirt with my Phantom wallet last night and it was already easier to use than the vending machine in my old apartment building that took credit cards 🥳

Compared to C++, if Carbon can achieve
1. comparable performance
2. good standard data structures & parallelization packages
3. an approachable Golang-link syntax
4. accessible low level interfaces

while also being compatible with C++, then it could be a big hit!

[Drew Wetherington @DrewWeth]

New programming language out of Google called Carbon, framed as a C++ successor. Thoughts below

[Drew Wetherington @DrewWeth]

Carbon is an experimental "successor to C++", a legendary programming language. It's main selling point is "bi-directional interoperability" i.e. being compatible with C++ programs while fixing a lot of C++'s shortcomings.

At $200, rent is $2,471 per Megabyte for a 2 year rent exemption SOL deposit. Sheeesh. Different than above though, you can get this SOL back.

Deploying contracts gettin 'spensy.

The cost of 2 year rent exemption is roughly 3x base Solana transaction fee per byte.

[Drew Wetherington @DrewWeth]

Sending a Solana SPL token costs: $0.53 cents

Over the past 6 months with SOL 5X'ing, so have fees and RENT. At its recent peak at $260, sending an SPL token to a new user costs 165 bytes of rent + 2 transaction fees totaling $0.53 cents. Rent is 99.5% of the fee.
