• Featured Mod of the Month: Anita Olsen

  Anita: I have lifetime access to the subscription-based code-learning website, CodeCombat, where I enjoy learning Python and taking all the Game Development courses offered there. Those games I made were a part of the Game Development 1 and 2 courses (there is also a 3rd course) on CodeCombat. You code the games entirely on your own from scratch by the use of the knowledge you have gathered from the lessons in the... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What can I do?

  So now, while you have time (yes you have no time now but when you are out of school working with a child and or no summer vacation you will have less time) you can try MIT Scratch or CodeCombat and learn to code. For you it's a long the goal is to make 1 app or a handful of apps in 4 years until you graduate. That's absolutely doable even for someone who knows 0 about coding. Then when you graduate, if you are... Source: 6 months ago

• What Programming Languages are Best for Kids?

  You can also have a look on Erase All Kittens (quite interesting) and also Code Combat. Source: 10 months ago

• And DigTech teachers willing to share?

  Https://codecombat.com/ is REALLY good, the free levels have enough content for ~10 weeks for an intro to programming term. Source: about 1 year ago

• Release Radar • March 2024 Edition

  If you're into video game dev, then PixiJS is something you need to know about. It's a HTML5 game engine that provides a lightweight 2D library across all devices. This latest update has a new package structure, custom builds, graphics API overhaul, and lots more. You can read about all these changes in the PixiJS Migration Guide. Also big congrats to PixiJS for being part of the open source community for ten... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Advice about useful libraries to create a 2D car game (hill climb racing style)

  I would need a renderer to display the graphics of my calculations on the "backend". After some research I think pixijs which is written in TS could be a great tool. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is programming just not for me?

  And if that seems to up your alley you could look into Javascript game/renderer frameworks. They have 2D engines like https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser or https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs . Or my personal choice A-Frame which is a 3D, AR and VR engine (XR) https://github.com/aframevr/ . Source: over 1 year ago

• Pixie – A full-featured 2D graphics library for Nim

  This has a high risk of being confused with pixi.js: https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Custome game engine: what stack ?

  WebGL, I hear, has a similar API to OpenGL. (Also, WebGPU is coming at some point.) Or, you could use a thin library that handles the WebGL drawing of sprites for you. I prefer that option over using a full game engine: I find it's better to only include dependencies when they become necessary. I recently tried a web rendering library called PixiJS, and it seemed like a pretty clean and nice-sized API, and... Source: almost 3 years ago
