How to actually make a billion (the YC formula): 1. Work hard to build a great product. 2. Get VC money. 3. Offer great product for free by spending ridiculous amounts of VC money.…

As a teenager I loved Samurai Jack. Gendy Tartakovsky is a truly unique creator. I am very excited for his first R-rated feature Fixed. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8785038/

This a step-by-step tutorial on how to built a 2D game engine using Go, OpenGl and SDL. It covers topics such as rendering sprites, shaders, instancing, game loop, collisions, obje…

Totally agree! I am now writing a very simple hack'n slash game to identify missing features. I won't be writing an editor any time soon. Do you have any examples of good debugging…

For anyone looking to write their own engine, I wrote a tutorial! You just need the tutorial and a couple of years :) https://nik-os.com/agl/00_intro.html

I recently joined a local game jam with the intent of showing off my 2D engine. Halfway through, I realized I didn't have a way to properly destroy game objects. I realized it afte…

Translating the OpenGL code to Metal/Vulkan will likely be a lot of work. Have a look at [1] which is something like tutorial 1 in the series. Its super verbose! OpenGL 4.1 was sil…

This is a tutorial on how to build a 2D game engine with Go and OpenGL. The tutorial is based on the work I did for my own hobby game engine and I am writing it as a way to improve…

Funny. In the game black&white you would slap or pet your avatar to train it. The lead AI programmer on that was Demis Hassabis of deepmind fame.

I am solo building a 2D game engine. Does it count?

Is it a surprise that an education system targeting the mean produces results close to the mean? It's like training for the marathon by only doing 2 mile runs and then saying peopl…

More reasons to opt for remote-only.

I think this is one of those issues that are presented as a hard/nuanced problem but really isn't. Single use plastic can be banned the same way lead paint is banned. That's only h…

No, I agree, it is the sensible thing to be doing, but it looks like we are at a point where radical short term fixes are needed.

It will put very strong pressure during the transition with a few young people supporting a larger aging population (see Japan). It's also opposed by capitalists as it goes against…

Lets set a new standard: if it doesn't run on raspberry Pi don't ship it. Not running on a Pi should be a rare, special-case exception (e.g. need to train a model on GPU).

'Lots' and 'legacy' are compatible.

There are more games than ever before, including DRM-free, host-your-own-server games. Don't like in-app purchases? Play something else.

Setting up a company is a practical way to offer services, especially if you are working outside the US. There is an overhead, at least in my case (living in Europe), like paying f…

In my mind "Think of the children" is synonymous with "ulterior motive". After reading the comments here, I am adding CSAM to the list of synonyms.

I was going to comment on the lack of pipes and then saw the ceiling :)

Interesting how most comments react with "I'll just pirate it" not realizing that they are just solidifying Adobe's lock-in. Few years down the line they will turn legit (guessing …
