Working on a hot code reloading library for Nim. It's a general solution, but specifically for my game framework. An example of it in action: https://streamable.com/2mxktc Source code: https://github.com&#x2

There's not much more to share presently. The game presently is very far from having gameplay. The "terminot" part is MIT licensed inside the game repo. The game itself is presently GPL3 licensed. Small hacking game: https:&

As someone working a TUI game I wanted stuff like this myself so just wrote what I now refer to as a "terminot". Actual shaders and non grid align rendering. Nice to see people attempt to emulate it in a proper terminal emulator.

It does not formally have variadics, but since it has tuples you can have pretend variadic generics.

Again that's this language constraining you to that. With procedure overloading it's not required that you have to have that ugly API. For instance the following is valid Nim: type Cat = object # these are just 'struc

I use pixie for my game framework. It's used to load textures, layout fonts, and render font atlases. It can be used for generative art but https://github.com/EriKWDev/nanim or sdl2 using renderer's makes mor

They likely read "overloadable enums" and went "Oh Rust calls their tagged unions enums" so assumed all languages did.

> It lacks proper sum types We've talked about this before! You know it has sum types, just not the variation you want.

Ah, yes the French, people historically known for good protests. If only that somehow related to the conversation at hand.

As a contributor it is still an awful non sequitur that does not answer the question, and brings up a fantastical world.

If you care DayZ was BE enabled back in like October if my memory serves me correctly. The Cycle always supported it through Proton. Hunt recently enabled it like a month ago(finally, HMMMMing on linux is good).

Well there is a practical reason that in a whitespace significant language you do not want to mix indentation types. I personally prefer tabs for the user customization, but the actual reasoning that generally speaking it was(is?) hard to g

To explain 'why' it behaves this way is quite simple the stdlib does not have slicing operators for all of your expected cases, Nim does not have postfix operators(aside from [], {}, *) so 3.. is just impossible to define. If one
