Трогаем Синглтоны в C++
Проект: #dungeon_archeology
Немного нагружу предысторией. Dungheon Archeology - это мой проект за 2 семестр по плюсам. Т.к. я ленивая жепа, то я заговнокодил его за 24 часа. Сейчас же я переписываю его, чтобы это чудо выглядело прилично.
Сама игра написана на C++ с использованием SFML 2.
Решил попробовать такой паттерн, как Singleton (я о нем знал раньше, но особо не использовал). Решил реализовать менеджер сцен. Спрятал в приватную область конструктор с деструктором, а для доступа к классу написал вот такой метод (см картинку)
Ну и дальше обращаюсь к нему через SceneManager::GetInstance()
Люди, которые знают C++, насколько такой способ правильный?? Поделитесь опытом)

Did you try #DeerPortal 
and why don’t you like it?
It is a board game driven by a Deer god and classical elements

Most comments which I received and some reviews which I was reading were clear that nobody had a clue what is happening during the game in the context of the cards. I added a simple overlay text, will replace later with some proper graphic for UI, but for now it explains actions after taking the cards.

Released a major update today, adding #speedrun mode to my #indie game BubbleByte! 
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3499760/view/591768182357754412
Powered by Modern #cpp, #sfml, #sdl, and #imgui. Fully #OpenSource!
Reviews like this remind me why I pour my heart into #gamedev. Every late night was worth it. 
What are you working on that uses #SFML?
Meet Sammy! The SFML jellyfish! This was a request from someone when I made raymond, and I really liked how it ended up!
My new video for this week:
Comparing latest versions of Allegro, SDL, and SFML.
I made a video last week (scheduled to release *next week*) looking at SFML 3.0rc release candidate vs. SFML 2, Allegro 5 vs. Allegro 4, and SDL 3 vs. SDL2. Just had to re-edit the video to mention the 3.0 launch and reupload. Still will be out next Saturday. ^_^;
I've been thinking about SFML3 so much since making this though and am so hyped to update my chalo-engine next year. :3
SFML 3.0 is OUT! WOOO!!!
A sneak-peek trailer at Christmas Horse 5!
Play FlappyBird, but written in #vala !

Using only #SFML and #glib as dependencies.
The code is object oriented and a very good example for a non-gtk Vala app. Check it out!
Cross-platform, cross-language development is quite tedious... 
You need to wait for builds to finish, then test on three different OS with different ways to load things.
At least with a Windows machine, you get a Linux environment via WSL2 for free, although it doesn't launch via dotnet run.
And finally you also need access to macOS somehow.
But it's quite satisfying seeing the library build automatically on all the different configurations: https://github.com/SFML/CSFML/pull/249
