If this indeed evolved into a stand alone, curated app store like Steam pre 2016 with a 88/12 revenue split it could indeed shake up Android game distribution. Mobile in general an…

From the article: "The chips that produce an electric field for the Solar Probe Cup are made from tungsten, a metal with the highest known melting point of 6,192 F (3,422 C). Norma…

I originally did. This was fine when the scripting was just doing data setup in advance, and it wasn't being run per-frame as game logic. When I started The Spatials V3 (aka Galact…

I'm beating my own drum here, but the gameplay code for my game Galactology is 90%+ done in a Lisp dialect (l2l with LuaJIT underneath), clocking at 51K lines currently. It has bee…

I think the article is wrong to call the showcased devices "netbooks". Netbooks were a laptop-lite, with a slightly smaller size. The Dragonbox Pyra is more like a micro laptop, th…

I've looked into both l2l and moonlisp and they were too incomplete to be usable in their current state, and not being worked upon recently (or not much). The most current and inte…

LuaJIT is, by far, the best option for scripting in games/RT, thanks to the incredible JIT performance and its incremental GC with deadlines. But there's something when you start p…

~150USD / month from http://thespatials.com/ with a jump to 1000 USD in October after we announced our successful Greenlight. Launching in Steam in early 2015 and expect to shake t…

This reminded me of ATS - http://www.ats-lang.org/ Check also Chris Double blog - http://bluishcoder.co.nz/tags/ats/ ATS combines ML-style types, linear types, dependent types and …

Please don't name it just "Meta", it will make it a lot more difficult to find resources for it in the web. Imagine googling for "meta", "meta lang", "meta language", "metalang". M…

It's true, it's more customizable and flexible than I realized when I first looked into it. I stand corrected.

It was the glgui library that gave me that impression. It's true that there appears to be no built-in high level concept of a view as a container/ layout holder/ etc, we are talkin…

Keep in mind LambdaNative appears to be very opinionated about things like project structure (your code goes in this folder and is named like this), files (your images must be in t…
