Also WASM can't directly manipulate the DOM so it can't really be used for handling HTML/CSS, all front-end stuff still has to be done with JS.

Right now. WASM has been supported by every browser for a while now, and most webapps are made with WASM. That said, it's not a replacement for Javascript, most people only use it on things that need to be high performance like heavier apps and web games. Nobody really makes websites that rely on WebAssembly instead of JS to my knowledge.

You can backflip in mid-air which is useful to go a little higher or cancel the direction you're moving in. I don't remember the exact control for it, but I think it was double tapping after jumping.

Absolutely, it's a great game.

The fun part of this game is hearing such differing opinions, I had someone explain that Block Koala was their favorite. I personally didn't gel with Planet Zoldath, it's conceptually neat but I found it very tedious. Glad you enjoy it though!

Been working on this one for a while and I'm eager to share it. UFO 50 is a collection of 50 retro-style games, and I decided to write a blog post reviewing every single one. Enjoy!

The Original Rogue Legacy Source Code Now Available

Greetings @everyone!

It's been more than 10 years since we released a game that would alter the trajectory of our lives forever. That game, of course, was the original Rogue Legacy. In the span of a single night we went from struggling indie devs to building a solid, stable career making video games; a path that would carry on for more than a decade. Since then we've released two more titles and have reached millions of players worldwide, and it is a journey we hope to continue far into the future.

So, to give back to the community that has gifted us so much, and in the pursuit of sharing knowledge, today we are officially releasing the full source code to Rogue Legacy 1. This may only interest a select few people, but we hope by public sourcing the game that started it all for us, we can keep its spirit alive and help budding developers curious to know what it took for us to get started (and to see what you can get away with :p).

The full source is available at the GitHub link below:

https://github.com/flibitijibibo/RogueLegacy1/

A lifetime of gratitude goes out to Ethan Lee for setting up the public source code repository, and helping us since all the way back to the original Mac and Linux release of Rogue Legacy.

The whole project just sounds weird. Any mini-PC can be used for emulation, so I'm not sure what would make this one any different. Fitting a Ryzen 7 7840 in it is also a bit overkill unless you're planning to emulate PS3/Switch. I would expect a small PC for emulation to be way cheaper, maybe in the $200-300 range.

There's been surprisingly little fanfare for this but I guess most of the Godot community are hobbyists anyways.

I'll post it on Lemmy once it's done. I'm still not entirely sure which gaming communities would be most suitable but it'll definitely be in [email protected] :)

That said, UFO 50 is truly massive, so it'll be some time before I finish this thing. One of the games I haven't started yet is apparently a 20+ hour JRPG, so that'll be fun.

[–] popcar2 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I have been obsessed with this game since it came out. I've already put in 60 hours and got 14 games cherried (which means 100%ing them, getting a true ending, or beating a difficult challenge).

I'm writing an incredibly long blog post where I review every single game in the pack. Excited to finish & share it once I'm done playing through everything.

Announcing Swift 6 (www.swift.org)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by popcar2 to c/programming
 

The big thing about this release is it is a huge leap forward to making Swift a cross-platform language, and not something only built for Mac/iOS

Swift 6 unifies the implementation of Foundation across all platforms. The modern, portable Swift implementation provides consistency across platforms, it’s more robust, and it’s open source. macOS and iOS started using the Swift implementation of Foundation alongside Swift 5.9, and Swift 6 brings these improvements to Linux and Windows.

Swift is designed to support development and execution on all major operating systems, and platform consistency and expansion underpins Swift’s ability to reach new programming domains. Swift 6 brings major improvements to Linux and Windows across the board, including support for more Linux distributions and Windows architectures. Toolchains for all of the following platforms are available for download from Swift.org/install.

I remember so much pessimism last year that people's complaints will change nothing and that almost every Unity dev is too deep and won't be able to switch engines.

Well, guess what, so many people did switch and Unity did feel the hurt. The community really did take action.

Everyone's going to (rightfully) dunk on Unity but I think this is a great move and it's nice that the engine isn't going away. Competition is always good, and I'm happy for the devs that did stick with the engine. Lots of studios celebrating on social media with a sigh of relief. I still think Godot is going to eat Unity's lunch the next few years so they better step it up.

A bit late, but I really like it :)

It's simple and well laid-out, and I do like the sidebar to quickly jump from post to post.

This was pretty fun! I got 3x scale and a score of 412.
