I thought most of the existing engines out there were too complicated, so I wanted it to be easy to use. Probably that's also why it became that popular. For a modern engine today - I think the architecture of the engine would look dif

I originally wanted to create a 3D game - and needed an engine for it. Never made it to the 3D game part, though :)

Strange to wake up and see this on Hacker News - in 2025. I originally created this but am no longer involved - AMA if you like.

I drive an electric car which already does this. Is a very futuristic and smooth sounding noise, and it sounds nice. Not like an ICE engine. People immediately notice you and recognize that you are in some new type of car. It feels positive

Ever tried adwords? I think my first bug report of it not really working with other browsers was about 6 years ago, that time it was with Opera. My reports usually get verified but commented with "use Chrome instead".

AFAIK, I can do with my garden whatever I want to do, as long as a I don't turn it into forrest. But that's here in Austria. What you describe sounds terrible. Fines for not mowing? In which country do you live?
