Hello, thanks for open sourcing this. I mean no disrespect, but why do you think you failed to sell? E.g. do main stream engines have this functionality already, or some other reasons?

It has changed a lot, but server-side rendering seem to be making a comeback [0]. We might be able to blow the old dust of the old Java Struts. Or is it Spring, or Liftweb, or some other new shiny? Scratch that - things have still changed a

Oh man, Macromedia Fireworks was great. Folks made the most beautifully unique websites with it. I wish the app, and those design sensibilities could have survived. The web and app ecosystem today would be less monotonous and more fun to ma

When I was a kid, we'd dig a large hole in the garden, then pop some chlorine and milk in a plastic coke bottle, quick shake, then dump it in the hole and all my mates would very quickly push the soil back onto it. Boom, and "die

Isn't Australia Rupert Murdoch's turf? It'd be interesting to know if his organisation's been lobbying for this.

I would like to be given both choices: rent or buy. E.g. I would not mind renting TV, because I like getting fresh stuff every month. But I would like to buy Photoshop, since it's not a core piece of my life, and I'd be content wi

Lockdown has affected a lot of us severely. There's no shame in talking to a professional. Your local health service might help you narrow down who you need to talk to, e.g. psychologist, occupational therapist, etc. You might have dep

Yes, I have a couple of notebooks. One for doodles and the other for journaling (the kind of stuff which oughtn't go on my blog). But I have to say, I've received the new ReMarkable2 [1] about a week ago, and it's awesome and

I started a masters this year and my word count went from 3K last year to 38K in 2020. There's also my pencil & paper journal for mindfulness and "life" entries which is maybe a couple of pages per week.

Personally, I don't go for gamedev tech books, as they date quickly. Perhaps pick up something a bit more timeless on game design , e.g. MIT's Playful Thinking series [1] or some of the other classics in the field, like "Gam

Mind sharing your game design dairy, if it's online? :-) I'm particularly interested how you went about using Monte Carlo sims to help with your designs. I only just got into game design a few months ago, and started maintaining a

One has to commend the BBC for sticking to things like the 3-parter miniseries. It's 2-3 hours of your life you've spent watching a quality drama with a conclusion, and no cliffhangers / "possible second season".

Hey all, I've been a web developer all my life (first job in 2002), but started a masters in gamedev a few months ago (I've since turned 41), and enjoying it immensely. My partner and I have kids (7 and 4), with no family nearby t

Machines running too fast... Reminds me of the Turbo button on PCs in the 90s, which all my school mates and I at the time thought was for a speed-up. Au contraire! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button

The curse of the programmer! The one game I finished recently: a polyomino puzzle game, but of course had to make a solver from scratch first. But at least I finished it :)
