Debugging Cutscene Z and Traversable Creation — Handmade Hero — Episode Guide

0:09Reflect on our recent dynamically allocated arena upgrade

2:54todo.txt: Consult the TODO list

4:52Consider upgrading to a traditional 3D pipeline

7:50Reflect briefly on the series thus far

10:45Build and run and investigate what's happening with the cutscene

14:36handmade_cutscene.cpp: Make RenderLayeredScene() set the FloorZ, run the game and step through the code

16:37handmade_cutscene.cpp: Try flipping that computation of the FloorZ and run the game to see if that's the correct thing to do

20:30Step into GetRenderEntityBasisP() and inspect the P and OffsetP

21:34handmade_cutscene.cpp: Make RenderLayeredScene() set the OffsetP.z as well as the FloorZ, run the game and see that the cutscene has been restored

23:53Run the game and demo the bug with the traversables in the initial creation phase

25:00handmade_sim_region.cpp: Consider how entities are created and packed

26:53Run the game, step in to AddWall() and inspect StandingOn

28:15handmade_world_mode.cpp: Make AddStandardRoom() set the StandingOn.Entity.Ptr, run the game and see that all is fixed

30:11Consider how to clean up where arenas are used and how

35:53Look at all the places a memory_arena is used

40:10Run the game to verify that we're not leaking memory, and leave the arena where it is

42:20Blackboard: Overlapping Sim

46:37build.bat: Run in O2 and consult the profiler to gauge the cost of the simulation

50:02handmade_world_mode.cpp: Make PlayWorld() create more rooms, run the game and consider implementing a debug camera that shows multiple sim regions

52:27handmade_world_mode.cpp: Introduce UpdateAndRenderSimRegion() to do some of the work of UpdateAndRenderWorld()

1:11:55tinyconstruct (Very off-topic) Can you think of the last time you took a dynamic programming approach to a problem (e.g. shortest edit distance, optimal BSTs, etc)? DP algorithms are allegedly a common interview topic, despite how silly that seems

1:36:11dsjimenez Great interview answer, thanks. The only issue I've had with that is candidates who have no projects they're proud enough to really talk about, and I feel like I'm judging them unfairly for not having the same interest for programming outside of work / class

1:44:37jkugelman Often I have a hard time digging in to people's past projects because they throw out tons of acronyms, jargon, frameworks, etc., that I'm not familiar with. Maybe they've worked in a completely different industry, like medical or defense, and their work context is totally unfamiliar to me. How do you handle that?
