Currently they are visible for me, are they for you?

Also, what do you mean by anonymous mode?

Yes, they are now, Deeksha Shenoy fixed it for me. I meant anonymous mode in browser, I used it to check how the article looks like for non registered users.

Images problem 3

Again, the images in my article are not good.
Git – Problem with “skip-worktree” and Pull[^]
I do not know why is that happening all the time. In the preview all look good, even when I go to edit that article, the preview shows all pictures.
The thumbnail also needs to be set.

Can you please email me the images? sean@codeproject.com

Also, for your next article, could I try posting it on your behalf? Might help me figure out what's going wrong.

I'm thinking about an article with GoDot Game Engine.

I would use this GitHub project as starting point:
GitHub - thelastflapjack/godot_open_star_fighter: A simple star fighter pilot game intended to be a starting point for the creation of other games.[^]

As shown below I would note this in the article but the main problem would or could be that at the end the foreign code part would be 80 .. 85 % !!

I would plan new features and disable/remove existing code parts but the structure / framework of my game would be almost the same as the template's framework.

Introduction
This article/tip and the demo are about getting started with GoDot Game Engine and using the godot_open_star_fighter game project template as starting point.
Background
There are no CodeProject articles about GoDot Game Engine projects, so I started to create this article.

Using the GoDot Game Engine
Here is a Quick Overview
•	First we need the Godot 4 for Windows version as shown in [1] Download Godot 4 for Windows (we use the .Net version)
•	Extract and run. Godot is self-contained and does not require installation.
•	From GitHub [2] thelastflapjack / godot_open_star_fighter we use this project as template for our project.
•	Info taken from [2] – About: A simple star fighter pilot game intended to be a starting point for the creation of other games.
...

Is such an article possible Confused | :confused:

Yes as long as you make it clear what your code is based on, and you discuss how your changed code works, that sounds great!

Still broken. Try deleting the thumbnail, rename the image, eg: *_v2.*, upload, and reapply.

Is conference impressions valid article topic?

1-Jul-23 2:31

Yes, it is fixed now. A funny thing, all looked fine in Preview, but later there were problems.

I attended Machine Learning Conference, so if I write about my general impressions from the conference, without any code, would that be a topic of interest for this site?

Sean Ewington23-Jun-23 3:12

Because of your excellent articles I want to say yes, but unfortunately that's not really within our editorial guidelines for the site.

Why not?

There have been a bunch of "books impressions", opinions about i.e. interviews, how work should be... and other stuff.

This would be a nice diversion, and very probably more qualitative than most of those I have said

Additionally... if he could write it as a blog and import... why shouldn't be able to write directly about it?

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Unless Chris was writing it, for as long as I've been here we don't post conference impressions. If I saw a conference impression imported through a blog, I would remove it.

I certainly see the potential value in the content, but it opens the floor to less talented authors impressions of conferences that share no real value, or worse, marketers looking for a free lunch, pointing at existing conference impressions and saying, "this one is allowed, so my self-promotional conference impression must be too."

I understand the point, but then we should clean up a lot of more stuff. As impressions of a book, impressions of what a good interview is...
And there were quite a few that went through.

Book impressions / excepts were allowed and encouraged at one point. It's been years since we've posted one, or since I've been reached out to to post them, though I did see at least one member post one within the last five years. I never did make an official stance about interview articles because the community hated them so much they downvoted them to hell or closed them. I tell any authors that post interview content that they are not going to be well received, and remove them. At some point I'll confer with the team about going back in time and removing these kinds of articles, but it's not an immediate concern.
