I’ve been braining about a hypothetical language made from the ground up to be ideal for coding gameplay logic, and not worrying about hardware. I’m designing from the syntax first but have no idea/energy to actually implement the lang

Using apps made with Electron or those so-called "universal" UI frameworks I wish nothing more than for everything to be native. They always have to give up some basic or hidden conveniences that native controls get for free, so t

I mean coding gameplay logic. The game engine can remain in C/++ or whatever. Gameplay and game mechanics are fairly different from making other types of programs. Things like stats, buffs/debuffs, conditions, and their dependen

Yeah, imagine playing the same level in a single player game 100 times just to get 1 piece of loot..unless it's a roguelike :')

One thing that gets me is how there hasn't really been a language made solely for gameplay logic.. Almost every other domain has its specialized language: SQL, Julia, even HTML/CSS/JS.. but game developers still have to tru

So do we see the expansion cancelled out by the gravity, or do we only see the gravity? I mean, is it change = gravity or change = expansion - gravity Because this just made me wonder.. is "dark energy" simply th

So just to fantasize for a bit, Suppose fusion power becomes a thing, and after handwaiving some issues let's assume it can power everything indefinitely. Does that make things like heating, cooling, travel, ocean desalination, bandwid

Maybe because once you know enough you realize a lot of people + other lifeforms are suffering, so even if your own life is awesome this world kinda sucks and the universe seems indifferent. It's hard not to be vaguely depressed/p
