That was lots of fun!
I wish there is a replay mode so I can relish on my glorious strokes of luck.

#72Kind of looks like neverball/neverputt ( https://neverball.org/ ).
Neverball also has a browser version that's compiled directly from the C code. (Shameless plug, I'm one of the developers.)

#73Nice one - amazing what's possible in a browser today! Also, impressive how lean the code is in terms of the small number of libraries need.

#74Cross-platform except for MacOS https://github.com/mgerdes/Open-Golf/issues/3
Works fine on MacOS on Chrome, just not Safari.

#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
What's the TLDR on how to compile the C code to run in the browser?
Emscripten. If you use something like SDL porting is trivial. Working on a project to port a 20 plus year old c/cpp code base to the web. The tooling was like 98% there but I've had to upstream a few fixes or find a workaround every now and then.
Good on you man. If I got an email that said “opportunity: port 20+ cpp app to web” I would chuckle and close that sucker real quick.
Modern cpp I maybe can deal with. That 90s stuff is real bad.

#76Any recommendations to learn to build cross-platform games like this? I work on frontend projects day-to-day. I'd love to build a simple cross-platform game in C/Zig/C++ for some variety and to learn lower-level programming. I've looked at Handmade Hero in the past but its specific to Windows at the moment.
It’s 99% due to nostalgia but look at chocolate doom. It’s a tightly coded 2.5D game. There’s TONS of documentation on how it works. Recreating the engine in a familiar language and playing the WADs of you childhood is fun. But if you want 3d with OpenGL maybe look at quake. That’s how I learned GL.

#77At first I was like: “this is easy!!”
Then suddenly it wasn’t.

#78Impressive to see C being able to create x-plat 3D games that run in Browser + popular Desktop + Mobile OS's. Typically there's big companies with large dev teams working on accomplishing such a feat & this project does it with with a 50 year old language and a handful of libs

#79This is frustrating. Very realistic and true to what playing golf IRL feels like.

#80After many tries, I finished level 12 in one stroke.
It would be nice to be able to skip the starting animation.
