Very cool. You can control the paddle with the mouse by holding left click. I missed that my first playthrough and used the arrow keys.

Not to downplay it or anything, but I'm curious why webgpu is receiving so much attention? There have been many low-level cross-platform graphics abstractions over the years. The bgfx [1] project had its first commit ~12 years ago and

Please don't misinterpret this as gate keeping, but Vulkan is designed by and for professionals (not hobbyists). It is certainly not a rapid prototyping tool. Vulkan and OpenGL aren't comparable because Vulkan isn't merely a

It’s ok. I enjoyed Left 4 Dead and Deep Rock Galactic more. The game lacks content compared to those two, but that’s to be expected as its only been out a short while. Its theme feels like a homage to 1997’s Starship Troopers which gives it

This looks nice and oddly nostalgic. One bit of feedback: each time I toggled the checkbox I expected the checkmark to look slightly different, as if it were being redrawn by hand each time. Adding some "noise" might be a neat fea

The interface looks very clean. Would you mind sharing a bit about the tech behind it, assuming it isn't a proprietary secret? At first glance it looks like a C# .NET application.

I wouldn't dismiss MISRA C so quickly as its guidelines may prove useful when deriving best practices for unsafe Rust.

This is neat, but I'm wondering how well the authors approach will map to animated 3D models. I'm guessing, at best, it might look something like the "Voxel Doom" mod for Doom [1] [2]. [1] https://media.moddb.

Namespaces are nice, but to my knowledge require name mangling which isn't a thing in C. I'm curious what you mean by "clean up the code significantly" and "confusing code paradigms" because in C you typically

For anyone interested in prototypal inheritance you might checkout Io [1] and Lua [2]. Interestingly enough the "Object.create" function that Crockford suggests in 2008 was already how Io worked in 2002 with "Object clone&quo

For me Ubuntu and Fedora give me nostalgia for Mac OS 10.5 and earlier. They remind me of that pre-iPhone era when software was shared via websites, when code signing and developer accounts hadn't become a thing yet, when the App Store

Depends how you define "good". I consider this concurrent GC algorithm [1] to be "good" and it can be implemented in a few hundred lines of C. I'm going to disagree with the article and say GC's aren't &qu

Cmkr appears to be a TOML wrapper around CMake. At its current stage of development it only appears to be wrapping the most basic features of CMake (registering binaries and such). Just my two cents but most of my time spent with build sy

It's good to have options. This is just my opinion, but I'd recommend moving the next/previous page links to the bottom. With the current design once I'm done scrolling through the links I have to reverse scroll back to

It's a tradeoff. Alternatives like exception handling make control flow less obvious and shorthands like the ? operator lock you into a specific return type (Result<T,E> in the case of Borgo or Rust).
