I've finally managed to join this community from kbin, seems we were having federation problems with programming.dev.

So anyway, what sorts of projects are you all using Nim for?

Here's mine: https://github.com/chrisacheson/crnstc

It's intended to be a "traditional" (neotraditional?) roguelike with a cyberpunk setting. Both the world and the UI are in 3d, which isn't something I've really seen done before. Usually it's either one or the other, like CataclysmDDA having a 3d world rendered in 2d slices, or Jupiter Hell having a 2d world with 2.5d graphics. I figured for a cyberpunk setting, being able to visualize the cityscape is important for the feel of it.

So far it's very much just in an "early tech demo" state. I've implemented basic randomly generated terrain and player movement. I was working on adding line of sight (which gets a lot more complicated in 3d), but ended up getting distracted by the reddit protests and migration to the fediverse. I'll get back to it eventually.

If you want to compile it, you'll actually need Nim 2.0. The .nimble file doesn't currently reflect that.
