This article focuses on emscripten examples and for good reason! The effort to resolve the differences between OpenAL and Web Audio has been on-going and exacerbated by Web Audio's API churn, deprecations and poor support. That said, t

I love the story of the Seven Roach Rush. To quote the linked article, "The most interesting part of this build, however, is how counter-intuitive it is. It violates several well-known (and well-adhered-to) heuristics used by Starcraft

Hey, we interacted a little over 2 years ago when I was talking about a hand-coded port of Love2D to the web using Moonshine. Eventually the dependencies for Love did get to the point where I could do an emscripten port. Just wanted you to

Oh, wow, that's very cool! How did you deal with the 3rd party dependencies? Is that open-source anywhere? I would love to see what you had to do in order to get that working. I'm the author of the above-mentioned punchdrunk, by t

Here's is Mike Pall's ( the originator of LuaJIT ) guide to reading the Lua source code: http://www.reddit.com/comments/63hth/ask_reddit_which_oss_co...

From my cursory evaluation, the debugging support is actually better than vanilla Lua. The only point of friction I can see if that you have to "compile" something that is normally interpreted.

That Lua was originally designed as a configuration language becomes really clear when you start doing things like this. Having my code and configuration being separate but equal was really a paradigm shift for me. Also, the Tiled Map Edito

I've recently installed Arch on two different laptops. The first one was an old netbook. I hadn't done an Arch install in a long time (I've been spoiled by the simplicity and convenience of the Wubi installer) and wanted the

To offer an alternate perspective: I owe video games a great debt. I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't thrown myself to whole-heartedly into playing and making video games right out of highschool. My passion for them got me my first

I recently had the pleasure of hearing on of your Engineers, Ben Vinegar, speak at a Tech Talk in Toronto. My impression from the talk was that the hacks were perhaps the more interesting subject. I hope you haven't cut them all out of your

Great! I had been passively looking for a lua gamma function to replace one I had been using since lmathx can't be compiled on Windows. Passively found!

I'm reading Operating Systems: Design and Implementation by Tanenbaum right now. He's damned clever and turns what could easily be very dry material into something quite readable and occasionally very funny.

In case anyone is considering this and wants an additional level of simplicity added to LWJGL, Slick is a great library for easy 2D graphics. http://slick.cokeandcode.com/
