Unity's Trap
Maybe the engine used for Dead Cells, https://heaps.io ? - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
Ask HN: Best stack to make a 2D game in 2023
I've personally had a very good experience with Haxe and Haxeflixel (https://haxeflixel.com/) although Heaps (https://heaps.io/) seems to be more popular nowadays. Haxe is very nice as a language, can easily cross-compile to a lot of targets, Haxeflixel is heavily inspired by some Actionscript framework and has a lot of goodies. Maybe Heaps is more mature, up to date and allows for more advanced features. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
What is the worst engine you've ever used and why?
Not really the worst, but you can say my least favorite, and that would be heaps.io. Source: 12 months ago
why are gamedevs so against sharing code?
Yeah I think it's ideal for 2D development. Look into heaps.io . . You might like it! These days it seems the best source of community for haxe is in their official discord server. Source: over 1 year ago
Picking a language
Many frameworks will let you export for the web, even if you don't code your game in JS. Unity, Godot, Bevy(?), heaps.io ... The list goes on and on. Source: over 1 year ago

Shadertoy Apple I Emulator
That is my approach as well, or using native tools like GeekXLab (https://geeks3d.com/geexlab). Unfortunely good debuging tools for 3D Web API isn't a priority even after 10 years, and same applies to WebGPU roadmap. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
