@eb948c00 yeeeah. I would be surprised if whoever wrote that understood what they were doing.
Really that code is just doing...
MyScaryClass::someFunction()
static class functions are exactly like "regular" C style functions - there's no hidden / implicit this pointer passed to it.
afiak the whole null pointer bit basically does nothing other than scope the (static) function to class so the compiler can resolve it - honestly, I'm surprised it complies though!
gamedevs of the mastodon - I saw a post a while back from someone who had made their own UE5 "super minimal tutorial game" sample project on github & now I can't find it...
Anyone have a link?
(boosts appreciated!)
@eb948c00 I've always wanted to write my own engine (outside of work I mean) and though all this Unity nonsense is a good reason to seriously think about again, I imagine I'll probably just move over to UE.
I've made most of my income over the last decade by porting Unity games from PC to console & it seems that's in just as much demand with UE games (though I might need to get an even beefier PC first).
