There are a bunch of great libraries in C, such as sdl, Lua, etc, but others like imgui c++. Or do people stick to writing functional C like code in a c++ compiler? 2024-12-25T20:24:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgj6e2gxjraz3jswve0vusj98m9zgrx7jzvq7fxmxd63upcmmxuxczyzme7gqxhj5ej2a5xyx4eaj0p4at3c0s84gpf4h9zxu4ptaaj5k9gp9ffu5 Two acclaimed indie games this year, balatro and arco, were written in Love2d. And UFO50 was written in GameMaker.<br/><br/>Just a reminder that you do not need an expensive monolithic game engine to make a successful game. 2024-12-24T15:47:32Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyk3dglapku5sgtkymy4u632eqtfz328cym7r65apc3g0va8ehahgzyzme7gqxhj5ej2a5xyx4eaj0p4at3c0s84gpf4h9zxu4ptaaj5k9gcw9v2d In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgy8m6jd8n4mhqme4kkhl5fcsnwgwn97hveez8dfga370ccyzseeg7rl5lf'>nevent1q…l5lf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>sounds perfect to me, I’m too old to have energy for these 50 hour epics :) 2024-12-02T21:23:46Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf39xm8m8zhz89qmv305hz3kezccmr43xazlx37c6f4lmx3j470fqzyzme7gqxhj5ej2a5xyx4eaj0p4at3c0s84gpf4h9zxu4ptaaj5k9gj2epm4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxmwzpgs6q3hn373sn0nwqduzzdu3zl9y7387mv9yuu72p7hqvdys2d0udk'>nevent1q…0udk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>excellent read, and I loved how you saw the freed space as a challenge to fill it back up again :) I’ll give the game a play this week, thanks for sharing. 2024-12-02T21:20:14Z
