Nim for Beginners #26 Reference Objects

_“Another noteworthy characteristic of this manual is that it doesn’t always tell the truth. When certain concepts of TeX are introduced informally, general rules will be stated; afterwards you will find that the rules aren’t strictly true…. The author feels that this technique of deliberate lyi

Petr Kobalicek is very responsive, when it comes to discussions about his approaches. He is an enthusiast and optimization freak and loves to share his experiences.

Show Nim: Pixie, a fast 2D vector graphics library we are excited to share!

Comparisons show huge differences in speed between blend2d and cairo, at least for most examples: So _still a bit slower than blend2d " does not really harm. But *slower than Cairo_ is a different thing and asks for optimizations. Speed in b2d is mainly due

Great stuff! BTW: Are you aware of the blend2d-project? / I think he is the absolute winner when it comes to benchmarking.

NiGUI: Custom widgets

Shouldn't your 'handleDrawEvent' method have the same signature as the example?

handmade hero in nim ( warning: noob)

Question beside: The loop could be written using `let` instead of `var`. Should one really care about it at trivial places like this in order to maximize performance? Or is the compiler clever enough anyway? for y in 0 ..< globalHeight.int: for x in 0 ..< globalWidth.int:

What is Kernel32?

Yes, a @Ward, it is a good habit to treat the source code as a source and representation of knowledge rather than to be tempted to over-clean it to something 'just working'.

Subrange check during initialisation

This compiles and prints 0 : type DiceVal = range[1..6] var d : DiceVal echo d # -> 0 Run Obviously the 0-initialisation is not checked. Compiler bug?

Nim videos and tutorials survey

I think generics/templates/macros are good topics for some extended treatment by videos. These topics need much more of a stepwise and gentle introduction than the official docu can give room for.

Multiline conditions

Or even if a == "A" and b == "B" : echo "aaaHuzzah!" Run

First project with Nim: a little word search game which is also a "shooter"

Nice project report by Intas. And very helpful answer bei Hlaaftana. Loved to read such useful stuff.
