• What do I think about Lua after shipping a project with 60k lines of code?

  I have used it a long time ago but I don't remember ever touching C/C++. You can even make simple games without ever going low level thanks to https://love2d.org/! If I recall, most https://stabyourself.net/ games are based on love2d. If you're using Linux/MacOS, you can copy-paste these commands on the terminal and you should be settled:. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• What do I think about Lua after shipping a project with 60k lines of code?

  Love2D is popular (https://love2d.org/) Also Lua binaries are available here (https://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/) And a big list of Lua frameworks (https://github.com/uhub/awesome-lua [1] https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  I've built a few games with my son over the years. The fun part for us was all about fast iteration, and then laughing at the bugs together. There are some other recommendations here for how to approach 3d, and he is specifically asking for 3d -- but I want to put in one more pitch for 2d: the fun-to-tedium ratio can be much higher. I wonder if you could spend some time prototyping some of his ideas in LÖVE... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Show HN: A variant of Conway's Game of Life in color you can run on your phone

  * When a cell is born it randomly takes on the color of one of its (3) parents. To try it out: 1. Install LÖVE for your device from https://love2d.org (~5MB and open source). (iOS requires building from source on a Mac, or installing the third-party Love2D Studio: https://love2d-studio.marknoteapp.com) 2. Install my Lua Carousel from https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel (~100KB). It includes all its source code and... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Gearing up for Lua

  Probably the most important piece of software we'll be playing around with is a game engine called LÖVE. Lua is well known around developer circles as being a good scripting language when it comes to making games, and this engine is one of the more popular. I'll be going through installation at the end of this post. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Unreal Engine change its price for non-game apps

  O3DE[0] looks interesting - owned by the Linux Foundation, originally based on Amazon's Lumberyard, and it has some big players involved: Amazon, Epic Games(!), Microsoft, NVIDIA, Intel, Huawei, Red Hat, [0] https://o3de.org. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers

  03DE: Open source game engine, under Apache License 2.0, developed by Amazon and the linux foundation. Seems to work under a modular package called "gems", that you can use to pull in the functionality you need. It uses c++ as it's main language, but you can use Lua, python or visual scripting for scripting stuff. Has multiplayer built into the engine and what they call a "robust" system for open-world games.... Source: 9 months ago

• Someone dropped the source code for Far Cry 1 on archive.org

  Note that Lumberyard became "Open 3D Engine" (yes, very inspired name) which is Apache 2 licensed: https://o3de.org/ https://github.com/o3de/o3de/ AFAIK all development in Lumberyard has ceased and moved to O3DE. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Is SPIRV-Cross a valid option to target Metal from HSSL?

  I've worked on this a bit as part of the shader pipeline of Open3DEngine, From my experience there are very few compatibility issues between hlsl and sprir-v, sprir-v to msl however does run into a few issues.Here are the ones I remember. Source: about 1 year ago
