Hello again to everybody after so many years !!!
Back in the day I was lurking in the great libraries (and its communities) that were common to all us, multimedia/videogame/whatever programmers.
In fact, I was in the midst of a "traumatic" change and evolution from archaic Turbo C++ 3.0 to MinGW compilers and Windows programming.
Real life got in the way, but I always kept hopes to be back.
To my surprise, it looks like nowadays, people have left libraries and migrated to engines, being more and more "lazy". Or worse yet, abandoning code and programming; in fact, becoming merely a passive consumer of digital entertainment.
I don't know to what extent my view is a pessimist one, but I wanted to ask about this theory of bad times or so. In any case, I am totally happy to be fully commited with SFML/C++ coding [ :o sorry, Allegro] and in fact planning, and, what's more important, finishing, several real projects (So this time it's too late to be only a false kickstart, procrastination aside). Because, frankly, to be locked and only learning how to operate the remote control of a TV... that's not life at all.
