Well I can’t play any of the media, perhaps JavaScript isn’t that bad?
That is odd. It works on Edge and Firefox for me. They also give you the links to download each one to play it local.

#12Building the sdl2 version, there is no luck finding libSDL2_ttf, so I'll be trying the ncurses version.
Looks pretty snappy so far.

#14Ok, as a long-time emacs user (I think I started in 1985), I am officially nerdsniped. Building the sdl2 version, there is no luck finding libSDL2_ttf, so I'll be trying the ncurses version. Looks pretty snappy so far.

#20It's weird to be building an Emacs clone nowadays. It's fairly clear that Vim and Emacs _both_ lost the editor wars, and VSCode has come out on top. That's not to say either Vim or Emacs are dead or will disappear, but building a clone of a niche editor is risking dooming the project to being a niche within a niche. If it's just because hacking is fun, then by all means have a blast. But if the goal is to compete wit…
