   Ragel doesn't support recursion (last I checked), so it's not suitable for many parsing jobs. I considered it for MoonScript's parser at one point but it didn't seem like it could do it. I've been experimenting with

   Any other indie game marketplaces? Yeah there are a few: GOG, Indie Game Stand, Humble Bundle. Other sites that release data like that, not sure.

    Sure, I'm in the process of reworking the game browsing pages and having a weekly (and maybe daily) list of top sellers/top downloaded is something I'm considering.

    Indeed :) It's got great performance, glad I chose Lapis to build it. Handling millions of requests and tens of of thousands of payments on a 10 dollar VPS.

    It's not something I've experimented with yet. Lua comes with a very low level debugger: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-debug.debug but I haven't tried using it inside of an nginx wor

    Kinda surprised seeing this here. I made this project 2 years ago and haven't updated it since. It was an interesting proof of concept, but I only took it far enough to run a couple of my games. The only takeaway was that I was really

    The linux button is not visible on the top if your resolution is too narrow, It's the least clicked button so I chop it off first. As for whether this is a good idea probably not.

    I've deliberated on this a bit. I don't think I'm trying to build a traditional storefront. If a developer is building a homepage for their game they aren't going to stick reviews and sales data on the page unless they a

    I really don't have an answer. I just need to convince some of the more well known developers to upload their games. I need to try hard sell them on uploading, tell them it costs nothing and will take very little time. More well known
