I think you severely underestimate the difficulty of making a game engine.
- wruza 9y agoI was not talking about making a low-level engine; I only theoretized that gamemaking is somewhat as hard as modern ui at the top level where you script it and “draw” 3d/2d ui or interaction parts. For fair comparison on that scale game engines should correspond to at least font and vector rendering like pango/ft or cairo, or even direct blit ops, not to widget positioning. For one example, it is pretty easy to take unity3d and make a 9pool game — it is just ~two hour tutorial on youtube for people with no cg background at all.
