I would also consider trackers as being very intuitive in a lot of ways compared to DAWs, coming from the perspective of someone who isn't great at playing midi controllers live. I do find tracker software to not be as immediate compar

> The point of Haxe seems to be as a meta-compiler to generate code for a bunch of different languages/compilers? That's basically correct, although there is also a cross platform runtime called Hashlink but is unsupported by K

I am glad people are working on it!! Have you seen Kha by any chance? It has similar goals. I find it quite awesome, but it won't gain mass adoption for a bunch of reasons. https://github.com/Kode/Kha Someone buil

There absolutely is a need for a robust cross-platform rendering/multimedia solution, more in a similar vein to SDL than Unity or Unreal. The offering of Unity, Unreal, and perhaps Godot is just abysmal when considering that for all of

I suppose it should be considered where the abstraction actually exists. If the abstraction exists in logic or mathematics (ie. a triangle is a 3 sided polygon) it probably doesn't make much sense to consider the ramifications that tho

Also, for even things like physics there are many simple ways to do things. Take Towerfall's arcade physics for example[1]. In under 100 lines you can create the basis for your platformer game. Sure, it's not just pluggable into o

I have wondered if the UFOs specifically exist in a plane that will always be at the edge of our awareness. They aren't so much moving through physical space, but though our collective consciousness. Similar to how a physical person ma

It just seems to be the same guy going on the podcast circuit talking about the Tic Tacs, and all I see is a video with a black blob in the centre. Have you got any links to back up your claims about all these people telling their stories?

I could see a tool like this being really useful on my web game projects, where I would like artists/animators making contributions.

I don't see anyone mention affiliate links when talking about the indie/old web. Affiliate links were such a crucial element to the early web 'surfing' experience. It's a pretty shitty web without those affiliate li

Outside of Vue, and maybe Angular, are there any other stable alternatives with a decent ecosystem? I'd love to hop off the React train, but I haven't found anything that compares to the experience of just using create-react-app w

How do you manage the lifecycle of objects with the observer pattern? I saw an example of the pattern below that is crucially missing a 'remove' function to unsubscribe from the subject. Like when using events at the app/cont

This is just iteration on the awesome groundwork that React laid, and shows that things can still be much better. React has some very peculiar patterns that don't really jive well with javascript as a language, or its ecosystem. If the

I'm not sure it is particularly desirable to clone Flash's vector drawing tools. They were certainly nice to use but also pretty glitchy as you say. Functionality like vector shape tweening, while nice to have, is also not that im

At its core the beauty of Flash was the extremely tight interplay between vector graphics in nested timelines, and the the programming environment. Many people compare Flash to Unity, but I really don't find the two all that comparable

For the majority of my React projects I just import a single index.scss file in index.ts, and it has all the imports for my /style folder. It's not much different to the old school approach and is pretty pragmatic IMO. For my last

I'm looking forward to picking up Svelte and just going back OOP for state management. Immutable state with React was a massive eye opener, but right now I think OOP is just better for state management, especially with all the insights

Yes! I coded many games with Flash/AS3, which is regarded as low level these days, but it actually had a lot of abstraction over the rendering. For years I would battle with the opinions of the framework, usually attempting to smooth o

Is Safari actually getting WebGL2 support? I looked into this around 6 months ago, and what I gathered was the WebGL2 support was based on rumours from a Twitter post, and the supposed checkbox to enable WebGL2 on iOS actually does not enab

You have fixated on a single point that the parent comment mentioned, hyperbolised it, and gone off on a complete tangent. I think you should take a step back and attempt to understand the overarching point the parent comment was making, be

As a front-end dev, I've been interested in learning about such a process but don't know where to look. What kind of tooling would you use to manage your migrations in a CI environment?

I have sat many hours in an Aeron (and am sitting in one right now), but am not sure why I don't hear more about the Herman Miller Sayl Chair. I find it vastly more comfortable.
