Last week I was working on a very simple game to test DragonRuby Game Toolkit and learn its API. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month 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 / 9 months ago

For what it's worth you can implement a C compiler in under 10kLOC. The chibi C compiler is only a few thousand lines [1]. There is also Cake [2] and the tiny C compiler [3] which are both relatively small. [1] https://github.com/rui314/chibicc [3] https://bellard.org/tcc/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I was going to say, the list should include something by Fabrice Bellard. Tiny C Compiler is one. https://bellard.org/tcc/ I was thinking, maybe first version/commit of QEMU would be interesting to read. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

I occasionally use tcc (https://bellard.org/tcc/) like an interpreter (`tcc -run`), it's convenient for certain odd tasks. Not so much for interactive stuff, but if I'm building little PoCs for an idea that will get dropped into a C project, or fiddling with structs work out how something should/is being stored, or in situations where I'm making stuff that interacts with or examples based on C code and I want to... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

This reminded me the idea of compilers bootstrapping (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35714194). That is, now you can code in SectorC some slightly more advanced version of C capable of compiling TCC (https://bellard.org/tcc/), and then with TCC you can go forward to GCC and so on. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

The tinyc compiler reads scripts like a c-interpreter, with shebang and all. Source: about 1 year ago
