Doing testing on closures. This also makes my head hurt. What do you think this will print? local t = { bar = 100 f = function() { print(this.bar) } } t2 <- { bar = 200 } t2.f <- t.f local r = { bar = 1000 function do_call(f) { f() } } r.do_call(t2.f). Now with Answers. Well, not answers in the definitive truth of the universe way. If you compile and run this code in Squirrel , the answer is 1000.

Two years ago I did a small utility to help with Vulkan (SPIR-V) shader compression: SMOL-V (see blog post or github repo). It is used by Unity, and looks like also used by some non-Unity projects as well (if you use it, let me know! always interesting to see where it ends up at). Then I remembered the github issue where SPIR-V compression was discussed at.

Introduction and index of this series is here. When I originally played with the Unity Burst compiler in “Part 3: C#, Unity, Burst”, I just did the simplest possible “get C# working, get it working on Burst” thing and left it there. Later on in “Part 10: Update C#" I updated it to use Structure-of-Arrays data layout for scene objects, and that was about it.
