Not the author, but I am trying to replicate it[1] without looking at the code (so sort of blackboxing it) If you just want the javascript file (195 lines of code), let me know too I'm currently working on Simulation 15 [1]: https:&#x

I have never played D&D (despite wanting to) but I really liked what you did. It seems very well-made, though I bet people would appreciate one or two youtube tutorials (it seems very feature rich btw).You should try posting it on reddi

As I get older (30 now), and perhaps spend more time alone, I feel that I do not mind this process as much as I thought I would. Just as usual, I am able to read books and spend time with my dog. I'm only weary of the fact that I do ta

this is pretty dense (in a good way). I have read a little bit of Schiller, so I was somewhat aware of the "play drive" idea (Spieltrieb) but I really don't recall what it means anymore. All that to say that there are concept

> Finally, in terms of organization, I want things to be organized by function, not by feature. In my experience, writing a game in mostly React, separating things by feature is more intuitive down the line. Mostly because after some tim

I am making a roguelike with bits of story and very early on I added a setting to turn off the story (and by extension, all walls of text). Some gamers are simple not going to read things, and that's ok. Then again, I do care about the

As someone who is an indie dev loosely making a roguelite (that is more Slay the spire/ pokemon nuzlocke combo) I purposely avoid calling it a roguelike anywhere because some people are obsessively focused on keeping its traditional de

This may sound odd, but I never understood using heavy classes with relational databases. I use javascript too, and at most I need a couple of HOF (higher order functions) to do most of the work I need. Then again, I do use typescript and i

Learning flexbox is when CSS started clicking for me. I may abuse `display: flex` everyone once in a while, but it can truly be used for a lot of ideas.
