Less latency in multiplayer games or Zoom calls. Because light can travel around the Earth 7 times in one second, that means one roundtrip to a server on the other side of the world must take ~140 ms (1/7th of a second) which is a time

Hello HN! For the past 4 years I've been making a game programming language that makes your game multiplayer automatically. There is always a lot to do when making a game engine in order to make it capable of making real games. These a

I always use em or px, basically nothing else (except perhaps vw or vh). When something should be relative to the size of text, it's em. When it should be relative to the size of images, it's px.

I think if you're looking for other people to use your game engine, it helps to have one killer feature. I'm not clear what yours is at this point. Even if your killer feature is not something you have yet completely implemented,

haha this is cool :) What made you choose to code this as a webgame? In either case, good idea much easier to share

Oh, I never thought about this, that's cool!

Yes it's great, I've never forgotten this either. It's from Rich Hickey in his Simple Made Easy talk, all credit to him!

I once had a C# server with a TypeScript frontend (this was for work, so I didn't choose the tech stack). We had one part of the code which had a lot of calculations. We wrote the code in a C# library, then used Roslyn to analyse the C

I would LOVE to one day make a source-available standalone license for Easel that you can run on your own server! I just have a bunch of problems to solve to get there before it’s ready. 1. The people who really love Easel right now are tee

I would love to make a license where you could export and then you can run it forever yourself on your own server! It’s not because I don’t want to do these things, it’s just I’m one person and I never get the time to do everything I would

Wow, I’m amazed someone noticed this. I’d be interested to know more about your background and interests. How much have you been looking at programming language design vs just designing for complex systems in general? I ask because yes, I h

Okay, in that case you can upload a stub with a transclusion of the game. If there is enough demand I would definitely work on a standalone export system!
