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…

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-k…

WebAssembly is only on by default in Chrome 57+.

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 po…

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 …

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 inte…

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 disagree. People become Zed Shaw or Jim Carey based on merit but if everyone is equally meritorious then nobody is. Being good at something is subjective but being better than mo…

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 a…

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/
