DragonRuby Game Tookit VS Convos

Last week I was working on a very simple game to test DragonRuby Game Toolkit and learn its API. - Source: dev.to / 15 days ago

I am not primarily a game developer. But I wanted to see how some of it works. The engine that has been instrumental to it is DragonRuby Game Toolkit [0]. It was easy to set up and use. And I developed a simple game [1] following a really accessible book [2]. It uses Ruby which is an easy language to pick up- especially as someone who is experienced in Python. I really loved the experience and talked with the... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

For the other layers one can front-end IRC with TheLounge [1][2] or Convos [3][4]. TheLounge only persists history in private mode meaning that users are created in that front-end and chat messages are in Redis. For small networks or groups of friends this is probably fine. Notably missing is voice chat. I use the Mumble client [5] with the Murmur or uMurmur [6] server which is light-weight enough to run on... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

FWIW TheLounge [1] and Convos [2] can front-end an IRC server giving it much of the look of a modern client and also chat persistence when using TheLounge in private mode. The trade-off in my opinion is scalability. With a bog standard IRCD I can handle tens of thousands of clients per node. Adding web persistent chat adds memory usage.

IRC is a mature, extensible, open protocol, with a wide variety of server and client implementations to suit many use cases, servers can be self-hosted and federated, and modern web-based clients like The Lounge or Convos offer a user experience equivalent to Discord, Slack, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

And there are some great web-based clients like the Lounge and Convos that offer an equivalent UX to Discord or Slack, are open-source, self-hostable, and based on a mature, reliable, and extensible open protocol. Source: about 2 years ago
