If you want to work on "AAA" games, I don't think there are many companies left using it to this scale. An engine where those kind of games are developed almost fully in Lua, AFAIK, is Bitsquid (later Stingray by…
Most of the time nothing is used. The thing is that iterating is so quick, that you find the problems really fast. Although, I've been using luacheck https://github.com/mpeterv/luacheck. It is quite nice, but you have…
I've worked now for 3 years on a large lua game code base, over 4000 files, 1.5 million lines of code. In the first week or so, I was a bit weirded out by the lack of language features, as I come from C#/Typescript/C++,…
Yeah, I had exactly this problem before. I tried to wrap my head around how to actually do it geometrically, but thankfully had the much easier idea of just using the blend op. This is super useful though! You don't…
I've tried Beyond Burgers and I quite like them. Sure it's not the same, but honestly, I don't really care that it tastes the same. I've also tried other burgers that do not try to mimic burgers and just create a new…
I think the problem here is that we moved away from Monarchies/Feudalism for a reason. If we let single people or families completely control the direction of legislation and justice systems, at some point it will go…
I think any technology where you can get something done quickly, and blurs the line between production and prototyping, gets a bad reputation because a lot of people misuse it. Essentially, I think you need to be able…
Could something like this be used as the renderer for desktop applications? Instead of running a full fledged browser like electron, you basically just write all the logic in rust, and render the UI with css+html.
Just hypothetically here, what would the App Store look like if it didn't take a cut? Let's say everything stays the same, obviously, Apple would earn less money but let's ignore that obvious impediment, I guess they…
I'm working on a huge existing game dev project that is done in lua, and I can totally agree with you. The last project I did before this one was in, of all things, Typescript, so when I started to use lua I was quite…
If you're gonna die...
