I really don't see why \ has anything do with escaping when not in the context of a string (or regex) literal. There is no ambiguity whatsoever. It's a shame more languages don't use it because it's easy to type (no shift required).

Yes I'll have a better testing setup in the near future. (Right now there are individual unit tests scattered in the modules themselves) Glad you like the documentation, I try to take pride in writing detailed documentation. :)

I'd definitely like it to be part of the benchmarks project. When I get some time I'll submit a pull request for it. As mentioned in the other comment I use this for recording animations: https://github.com/rprichard/x11-canvas-screencast

A directory is coming soon. I'm looking to get a collection of games before I build a showcase for them. The point of the service is to make it very simple to build a page/storefront for a game along with providing niceties like file hostin

Yeah I thought about that. I figured a small percentage of people would be using linux so not that many people would get confused.

All of those sites have a huge barrier to entry. If you were an indie game dev and you wanted to start selling your game immediately it is not possible with those sites. There is an entire market of tiny game developers who never would drea
