Can you elaborate on your system architecture for your game? It’s interesting that you’re deploying on k8s and implies a more complex app than a simple game client.

Hey not bad. 3 years ago now (ugghh wow) I chose what engine to go all in on as a hobbyist. At the time only Unity supported producing web based games and I wanted to make games for the web so I went all in on Unity. Unity is great. Unity i

Question for the tester type software engineers on HN... I like to write browser (puppeteer) tests for user-facing software criteria like "patreon link must work." In the past I've written similar tests for small websites I&#

Remember: game devs don’t create intelligent game entities; instead they create the illusion of intelligence. Game dev is a big smoke an mirrors charade. Any system that could be queried needs to be built and maintained. Creating game entit

I’m hoping GPT will remove the information cutoff date. I write plenty of terraform/AWS and it’s a bit of a pain that the latest API isn’t accessible by GPT yet. There’s been quite a bit happening in the programming space since sept 20

Build that moat! Build that moat! It’s a win/win/lose scenario. LLM AI businesses benefit because it increases the effort required to compete in the LLM space (the moat). Governments benefit because it increases the power of daddy

I already jokingly call myself a cyborg. I think I’m in the perfect position to take advantage of AI in my daily workflow. Why? I research all the time because I find what I do fun. I read books, listen to conference talks, practice synthes

What’s the story on the blocks they’ve put in to prevent bitcoin mining. Does that also make them bad for other GPU based workloads?

Sounds like you've found what is effective in your own workflows. Thanks for sharing your experiences! I think this is the most important point: whatever needs to happen for you and those who relate to your philosophy to deliver value

I don’t know about this… If a game designer can articulate fun and what it means in the game, a test can assert the side effects of the system align with the game designer’s expectations. Finding the fun, though…

I do game jams and you’re right about their benefits. I’ve done them using TDD as an inexperienced game dev, test free, TDD now that I have more experience, and it’s helped me clarify some of my own thoughts on how automated testing can fit

As someone who creates games for web consumption, thanks for being interested in the topic. Truly thanks. If I had to write low level WebGL (and now web GPU) code I simply wouldn’t do it. It’s hard enough creating at the higher level of abs

I see your point that there are some thing that seem awkward for testing. It’s a good and interesting one that really should be considered. Game software is replete with examples like these. But just to attempt… to TDD a graphics shader one

I wish there was a better word. I do TDD when it makes sense, but also write a test afterwards if that makes sense. I’m personally not strict about TDD. Maybe pragmatic testing development (PTD)? And this is indeed because people have surfa

I really like watching other people do game dev from scratch. If this is a space you’re into and are fine with an nonstandard opinionated developer, I’d recommend Molly Rocket’s YouTube channel. However; I shutter in horror at the thought o

Kind of. I’ve been using it, and it gets stuff wrong (hallucinations) or it just doesn’t know about things (I.e. the new additions to GameLift). Granted GPT is what I use to do this now. But I’m also ready to see what focused, tailored AI w

I’m waiting on the AI that is an expert at all things AWS. I’d like to learn about AWS services and then be able to have it generate SAM or CloudFormation templates. I realized this is probably (hopefully) being worked on by some Amazon eng

I’m confused about what group of people you’re wanting to offer this to. The Russians who already left Russia to dodge the draft probably don’t need help leaving Russia. The people critical of Putin and who are in Russia, and the people who

Woof. As long as you’re verifying the answer and making sure not to spread buggy code, this is probably good. However; I’m sure there are agents out there that are more interested in gaming the stack overflow points system than acting moral

Something I find odd is the focus on “data security” in basically all media coverage and politician statements. Is that what’s at issue, or is it the influence the CCP has over people through tik tok? Securing customer data isn’t really wha

Just curious but why are you highlighting the "retro gaming tools" features? Does that tooling help run the unity game I write? Edit: I updated the title of this post to better describe my question. I'm not looking to emulate

The articles I read assume you just want to emulate a game using RetroPI. I want to create a Unity game that runs as arcade cabinet, hopefully that distinction makes sense. I suppose I could read the sourcecode of RetroPI and see how they c

I might have misread something but I think the author means "streaming" to mean when you are streaming the game to an audience on a service like twitch. You mean it in the sense of playing the game on a game client that's act
