currently out of date as of September 2022, needs a fresh update

TLDR; edit the amdgpu-install script to add pop as supported debian distribution, comment out check for linux-modules-extra-[versions] since they're provided by linux-modules [per Jeremy Solle of System_76], then run with --no-dkms

CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Things I believe

This is a collection of the things I believe about software development. I have worked for years building backend and data processing systems, so read the below within that context.

Fundamentals

Keep it simple, stupid. You ain't gonna need it.

Oracle Instant Client libraries installation

Download Oracle Instant Client libraries (URL may change, already happened few times). Be sure you download correct (x64 or x32) architecture. And correct version.

Last time I used Client 23.6.0.0.0 with Oracle 12c and PHP 8.4.

Before that Instant Client 23.6.0.0.0 or 21.5.0.0.0 with Oracle 12c and PHP 8.1 and 8.3.

Before that Instant Client 21.3.0.0.0 with Oracle 12c and compiled with PHP 8.0, 7.4 and 7.3 fine.

Before that Instant Client 10.1.0.5.0 with Oracle 10g, 11g and 12c and PHP 5.6, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4.

Thinkfan Configuration Notes

This are notes for configuration thinkfan for Fedora. This configuration procedure was followed on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (5th Gen) running Fedora 25.

Non standard (default) configuration was required for this machine as the default sensors are not available. Eg: /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal does not exist for this model.

An annoted configuration file has been included below. However, there is no guarentee that this will work as-is on every machine.

Installation

dnf -y install thinkfan

	echo "supported formats: mp4, webm, mkv, mov, avi, flv"
