  • I don’t trust this company, as they hate Linux. Wouldn’t use their engine if I target Linux, as we don’t know how they will support it in the future. I am not against open sourcing it, that’s not my issue. In fact I applaud it. But can’t trust them. Anyone supporting this project will help making their games better, who do not give a shit about Linux support.

    Is there any technical reason to use s&box engine over any other Open Source engine? I ask that from a gamer perspective and don’t know all the differences.






  • It’s actually the first time I used to do Ai assisted unit test creation. There were multiple iterations and sometimes it never worked well. And the most important part is, as you say, think through and read every single test case and edit or replace if necessary. Some tests are really stupid, especially stuff that is already encoded in the type system through Rust. I mean you still need a head for revision and know what you want to do.

    I still wonder if I should have just gave it the function signature without the inner workings of the function. That’s an approach I want to explore next time. I really enjoyed working with it for the tests, because writing tests is very time consuming. Although I am not much of test guy, so maybe the results aren’t that good anyway.

    Edit: In about 250 unit tests (which does not cover all functions sadly) for a cli json based tool, several bugs were found thanks to this approach. I wouldn’t have done it manually.
