If I had any faith in American school systems, I would suggest bringing back computer classes instead of just trusting "digital natives" to run into every toll booth unhindered. But they will be taught by old people who are even m

Are you commenting only for the sake of commenting? This is not a very substantive addition; I'd say it's pedantic to say a divide that is "not [just] between smart and stupid people" does, in fact, divide smart and stup

LuaJIT was originally made with some x86 assembly wizardry so I'm not surprised to hear that the ARM version is worse.

Since we've stepped from interpreted language (Lua) to compiled-to-VM language (C#), let's go all the way down to compiled, low-level language (C) with Raylib! https://www.raylib.com/

I'm curious as to how you came to that conclusion. Did you run any tests, or is it just a general observation? What's your computer hardware like? This isn't an accusation of anything, I promise I'm genuinely curious.

Is this about Master of Blocks? There are a lot of free-as-in-freedom alternatives to (and clones of) PICO-8, but TIC-80 is indeed the most popular one, by far. And popularity is important for any software ecosystem. I really like that it s

The fantasy computer by 100 rabbits? I love their philosophy, I'm glad Varvara exists, but I'm personally not up to program assembly for a 4-color screen, and I'm sure many others are the same.

For a small while I've had the idea of a [game engine/fantasy console/Scratch clone?] that comes packed with a bunch of example games. The example games should be good enough that people download it just to play them, but the

The problem I'm pointing out is that it's a work based on a Valve property that fundamentally cannot be tied to the DRM because it's "just" a ROM. I believe this came up when the creator was talking about libdragon-

If I recall correctly, there was also the issue that a Nintendo 64 ROM of their game would be fundamentally incompatible with Steam, which (as many forget) is technically their DRM solution. I could be wrong, of course.

Yeah, it seems to only be a problem when you're a human being remixing the culture you grew up with. Meta can admit to soullessly scraping books they don't own for their for-profit AI datasets [1], and it's not a problem beca

Huh, didn't think I'd ever see anything related to Uxn/Varvara [1] make the front page for myself, though it has been discussed before. Neato. Haven't yet experimented with it myself, but I like the idea; a runtime that

My favorite use of this toy is making something for one scale, and changing the scale. I end up getting these unique ... I'll call them "harmonic textures" each time, even though they're using the same "note pixel&q

Most of my better times were achieved entirely with a combination of lucky obstacle placements and an ability to hold W. It's not a good game, but it's definitely meant more as a tech demo, so I just say "oh well". On th

The "license to rent a game" deal is a general grievance about Steam that is not related to the article. Also it is one that can be extended to many other services offering digital goods for """purchase""&

Piracy is the one true frontier for games preservation. If it's not on Steam or GOG, it may be the only feasible way to experience a game. I believe "abandonware" is the correct term
