Hello chili, I’m checking out this video after writing my own game engine along with your series of dx11 (been 1 year ago), learning how to do stuff. After that I’ve been programming using UE5, powerful engine, learnt reflection stuff there. And now I finally work, use my knowledge and earn money. Wanted to say big thanks! C++ standard reflection system would be nice though.

I wrote a helper tool that interprets a minimal syntax data description language and generates h/cpp files that provide reflectivity for each type. It works but maintenance is too much for me. It feels too complicated when I just wanna make game go

Also: The ending is back!!! YAY It feels like Xmas with so many videos. Thanks a lot Chili! I love your content! If you don't do anything until next year, wishing you a great 2025!
@ I have been waiting for built in reflection for so long. Though the library you use seems pretty good, compared to most things I have used/looked at. Might give it a try.

I should get back on the beginner tutorial, I've might gone a bit too far here

Congrats on your success!
Hopefully that will be me soon. May I ask where or with what you're working?
Can't wait to try this!
It's surprisingly easy to work with and light to include.

@@ChiliTomatoNoodle very cool! I'll give cppast a look. Thanks for the tip
