Hello all,

Being new here I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Zac and I am a 20 yo computer science student in Queensland Australia (hello to any one from aus!). I have never really been into game dev but it could be an interesting hobby. I look forward to having some good discussions .

If you've never been into gamedev, you should try it!
It is probably one of the most (if not the most) demanding and challenging types of programming there is.
This site is untypical in that respect, as most of us use languages and/or APIs designed to make gamedev easier, including myself.
Nevertheless (case in point), today I finally finished a tool I started roughly two months ago to map out all the assets used by my game. Main reason it wasn't working the way it should? I was outputting FileID and TypeID (the type of asset) into the generated XML files, when the order should have been TypeID and FileID. I also weren't converting them to a ulong when outputting, instead just plotting one in front of the other as a hexadecimal string.
And I realized that Mr. Shipper (the tool in question) wasn't mapping all the assets it should. I went from around 20,000 to a whopping 33,000++ just by adding a couple of directories!
Anyway...

welcome!

Welcome! We're usually pretty helpful on the topic of gamedev, just ask away.
