Do you know if there is any work being done to support a Metal backend for Futhark? That would be interesting for local prototyping on macOS. I've found a fork[1], but it doesn't seem to have been updated since February. [1]: htt

Sometimes it's just easier to work and think in polar coordinates. If that's the case, then (speed, rotation) is just as valid a choice as (vx, vy). For smaller games, the cost of computing sin and cos every frame is so astronomic

Yes, but that would be “Nintendo are an awful company ”, not “Nintendo are awful companies ”. That being said, I have absolutely no idea why the other commenter thought this was related to gender identity and pronouns.
