Because it supports Unicode, like every modern program should.

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Unicode support in your coding language is great right up until someone accidentally inserts a lookalike character or closing quotation mark somewhere (phone keyboards and accessibility tools do this a lot). The code will look correct but fail to compile, and it can be a nightmare to debug if you don't know to look for it.

Any half decent compiler can find this

[-] Ghoelian@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

And any half decent ide will highlight these characters as well

I would so play this. Most sim games don't track quality of produced goods.

Same. I like my sims to be about half spreadsheet. There really aren't many options for a trading sim with extreme detail.

Gozer the Gozerian's form has been chosen.

The didn't yet have the concept of 0, so it's not historically accurate

we can include it, itncounts as zero loanwords in their number system

Finally, the KKKaskians are repelled from the digital gamedev front!

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

I've been waiting for this!

[-] furzegulo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

the ultimate killer feature

[-] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's happening!

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

How much of this is a Snowcrash reference?

[-] glitchy_nobody@leminal.space 2 points 2 weeks ago

This Godot thing--is it a game engine, a drug, or a religion?

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's actually a type of HPV.

[-] peterplatter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, that's the only thing that was stopping me so far 🤣

For code obfuscation purposes, I presume?

EDIT: Sorry - guess I should have included the /s, but I thought the joke was obvious.

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

No, for that you'd use Cherokee.

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

BS, you can just open the files on a editor that doesn't support every unicode feature/disables unicode and it will look like (almost) normal text so the purpose is not obfuscation, which, Godot, an open source engine has no interest in doing that anyway

[-] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

It was a joke, but my bad for not making that clear.

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Fair, it's just that lately on lemmy- everywhere in general tbh, i see people saying stuff like that unironically
