This, plus the App Store version does not come with apk package manager so in theory all executable code is there. Also they are on a kind of thin ice and already almost have been kicked out: https://ish.app/blog/app-st

Yes this. The hypocrisy of the gatekeepers is infuriating. Let’s not forget that almost all popular games are mass murder simulators. One of the most popular kids games is a dog fighting game. Now, I’m not advocating to remove those. I like

If I recall correctly (I've only ran Flash, the program, once): It has automatically merged shapes of same color into one. So to add or remove to a shape, you just had to paint in the same (or a different) color. For what it's wor

Some multiplayer games (like hearthstone) introduce a lot of randomness and quick variability to keep the game entertaining for new players. Even as a newbie you can win say 30-40% of games against skilled players. However, this also means

Yeah it’s about units. It is also however important to balance the game at most skill points. For example if a strategy that is easy to implement and relatively strong emerges, then you will have very boring games at low level and the only

> That makes sense. Doesn’t that then seem like a perfect problem for a neural net type system to solve? In theory. However if you change the balance then the mega game will change as well and you have to throw away the training data and

You could eschew online multiplayer and just make a single player or LAN game. Most RTS games never got any real competitive play anyways because balancing is a very long and costly process. For indies it also matters that this process must

Depending on the data you are showing there are reasons. One example is when the results are already ordered by relevance (this might be search matches, proximity, recency). In these cases most everybody will not need to go beyond the first

RTS matches take comparatively longer with other online games. In a Vs fighting game the match is over under three minutes every time. In an RTS you might be there for 20-40 minutes and lose because of a single mistake. Except when playing

As long as you make the Filene extension .scsv Jokes aside, we had that debate in our team way back and decided to follow the rfc and only use commas. The format is often abused, better not create more tools that do so.
