Absolutely brilliant presentation title from my colleague @cail.bsky.social today.
I will be giggling about this for weeks.

Meaning of #slive Small piece from sth larger.. slive

Anatomy of a SLIVE: A Cave Support Slice (misspelled as "slive") is placed in a tunnel. A boolean is used to intersect with the tunnel and get a cross-section. Support beams are generated on the cross-section. Except a tunnel is a hole, how do you boolean intersect a hole? So I did something else: 1. I place a fun, care-free spline in the middle (it has neither bezier handles nor student debt) 2. A circle is placed on the spline. Its points are raycasted onto the interior of the tunnel to approximate a cross-section 3. Support beams are generated on the cross-section

All right, don't worry everyone. I figured out what a cave support slive is.

I know you've been very anxious to hear the answer.

Let me break it down for you:

#gamedev #solodev #slive

Talking to a publisher like

"We think it's a very interesting game concept, but we would like to see a vertical slive"

don't worry fam, I gotchu

#slive

I genuinely cannot fathom why I called it this.

It's not "LiveMaterial", that's not a thing in my workflow. "Slide"? But it has nothing to do with movement? "Slime"? I don't have slime in my game

My best guess is it was maybe meant to say "Side" but then I still have absolutely no idea why

#slive

You know that thing where you see a colleague's work and you think "why did they do it this way, it makes no sense"

Yeah that still happens if you're a #solodev

A slive? What on earth is a slive???

#gamedev #slive

I am #slive. Surgery is done. Going home to sleep and eat for days.

Blimey, I used to know the woman having an up-the-nose operation on #slive tonight - worked at the same place as me in a team I liaised with

Sadly got to duck out of #bbcqt for #slive now. Too much Twinteractivity at once. Twitterfall overload.

Oh dear, #bbcqt is back to its normal slot this week so it half-overlaps with #slive :( #clashofthetwitans

#slive was great, again. I may never forget the Shoeshine Test.

Hmm, TweetDeck can't get any tweets but BeTwittered can. Hope all is well with Twitter again in time for #slive later.

#slive is a lot better than I thought it would be, if that's not too back-handed a compliment. An impressive programme.
