   I’d like to take this moment to say that the recent She Ra revival series on Netflix by ND Stevenson (the creator of Nimona) is pretty good, go watch it.

   I might try this next, will check out and try to build it tomorrow Shame that there’s no way to run ./configure on native windows though, I’ll have to use MSYS2

   I’ve been able to build chicken on Linux kinda, but no dice on windows Edit: oh woops the maintainers responded to me on the mailing list! I should probably respond back https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/chick

   I’ve tried chez exe and I can’t tell if it’s bit rotted or if it just doesn’t work on windows anymore

   What scheme do I used if I want to compile to a standalone executable on both Linux and windows? (That’s not Racket)

   The author got hired by Modular, the AI startup founded by the creators of LLVM and Swift, and is now working on the new language Mojo. He’s been bringing a bunch of ideas from Vale to Mojo

   Something I don’t get. Odin doesn’t support closures (a la C++ or Rust) The thing is, I don’t understand why. Odin’s FAQ says it’s because closures require automatic memory management. [0] But if that’s the case, why do languages like C++ a

   Something that’s REALLY interesting is that Roblox is working on a Node.js style desktop runtime for Luau: https://github.com/luau-lang/lute

    I mean yes you can do that, but it’s pretty hard since the engine expects you to work within its framework. Not saying it’s impossible of course, just annoying. Also, if I’m not mistaken, the forge is just a cross platform graphics wrapper?

    Ah forgot about bgfx. Though, I thought it wasn’t a renderer? Just a high level graphics api wrapper like wgpu?

    What’s the state of scheme today? Seems like the main two ones that are popular are Racket/Chez and Guile. There’s also like Chicken, and Gerbil/Gambit, but I see less people using them. What scheme would you recommend for real wo

    Yeah I guess so, lol. I don't think its super updated though. Pretty sure Red Eclipse has long since forked cube engine and done it's own thing with it

    I wish there were more standalone 3D renderers like this. This, Ogre3D[0], and Wicked Engine[1] seem to be the last of their kind [0] https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre [1] https://github.com/turanszkij&#

    Check the /game folder haha. The main.go file has all the stuff related to webrtc And yes, the signaling server IS a normal http server. That’s the whole point. You can set up a WebRTC connection by even just emailing each other the S

    I wonder if Ruby's VM will ever become as fast as the JVM

    So, as you can see in the article, there are already games and other projects that have grown past this limitation. The main thing I need to do is honestly just sit down and rewrite the signaling server to make it work for multiple players,

    I'm pretty sure this still uses STUN/TURN [0], it just uses Nostr and friends as a signaling server. Again, the main stumbling block of WebRTC is the signaling server stuff. STUN/TURN is honestly pretty trivial [0] https:&#x

    Ada is something I've always wanted to get into (it interests me that there's a low level programming language that came around at the same time as C but just never took off) Ada has a bunch of features built into it already, incl

    So, having talked to people in the WebRTC community about this, you should be able to use WebRTC in a local network without having to connect to STUN/TURN STUN/TURN matters because if you are connecting to a remote peer, you have

    Feel like the logical extreme of this is a database built for multiplayer games, something like: https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB Though there, you are still writing the main game logic in Rust or C#

    Yeah the PR is pretty much "done" at this point (there's more stuff I could probably do but perfect is the enemy of good)

    I used to do some basic CV stuff back when I did the First Robotics Competition (FRC) in high school, so it's cool to see it being done over WebRTC!

    How close are you to getting a "full" implementation of R6RS? I've been thinking of picking either your project or Steel[0] for a Rust Scheme thing [0] https://github.com/mattwparas/steel

    Japan seems to really be into osmotic pressure for whatever reason. It reminds me how in Splatoon, the reason given for why the character die when they touch water is osmotic pressure and there's a whole scientific explanation about it
