I recently asked a question on stackoverflowStack Overflow but didn't receive any answers so I posted the same question in gamedev.stackexchange.com (which I didn't know existed before). Now that I got an answer from the second section, I wanted to know if I can add an answer to my own question in stackoverflowStack Overflow with a link towards the second one which contains the answer or I should just close my question?

I'm aware that link-only answers are not allowed but as this case is specific (at least for me ) I wanted to be sure before doing it.
