In their defence "hi" sounds very much like "high" in my mind's ear and "lo" like "low" :)

Torch flames and trees swaying in the wind do not affect gameplay at all - they're most likely done in a shader and I think it's easier to keep updating a time uniform than to add …

A C systems programmer can definitely make a list of buzzwords as well. Also, let's say team A (10 C app/systems programmers) in a company asks HR to look for a C developer and HR …

I don't follow - why do you think HR would be interested in shiny hot new web stack keywords over anything else?

"5.11 or 5.9 which number is greater?" was a meme query a few months ago to ask an LLM as it would confidenly prove how 5.11 is greater - so yes, we do need expert validation!

I picked electron with portability in mind; I anticipate some unknown unknowns (since I've never owned a mac for ex) but they should be solvable. I have support for linux, controll…

Thanks for the kind words. People's passion projects are the main reason I keep coming to HN - the spirit is alive and very healthy! Hope you have fun!

I clarified it on the steam page - thanks for bringing it up! I tested it on Windows 11 and Linux (via proton). I'm afraid I can't say anything about Mac OS until I get my hands on…

The game itself is written in JS and packaged up with electron. I used PIXI.js for all the rendering - it's great for 2D-anything really. On the server side, the evaluator is writt…

Hello, In 2010 I made an open-ended programming game based on Befunge and Brainf*k. I was young and didn't know what I was doing - coding it in AutoIT of all things and using borde…

> Heavy use of symbolic operators has thankfully fallen out of style. I assume this refers to operator overloading. I think `a + b - c` looks way more readable than `a.add(b).sub(c…

Here are some values that are (understandably) not listed on the blog. They happen only due to the limited precision of floating point formats. 128 = √(2 / √√(√2 - (2 / √2))) 8192 …

I can't recommend "return true to win" ( https://alf.nu/ReturnTrue ) enough to learn how to golf JS. I think it's more accessible to learn one 10-20 char snippet at a time than a b…

In certain conditions gcc will actually generate instructions that use this same bitvector described: https://godbolt.org/z/6Gfjv6PGd (notice the funny 130159 value in there) The o…

I tried the demo and I liked it! I would prefer if I could pick a color in a faster way than switching to the color picker or using the palette: maybe middle click or Ctrl + left-c…

I've been playing the same 2 games for many years and I think I got pretty good at them and I've used multiple accounts - under your assumption I look like a cheater.

What would prevent me from walking around the street or in semi-public places recording non-stop on my phone? Heck, I could have a few phones in my pockets!
