This is something I have been working toward, alongside many others, during my entire career at Unity.
It took a lot of "hack weeks," 20% time, and other donated time to get off the ground; it came within a hair's breadth of being terminated multiple times.
We fought to keep it alive, to get it onto the release track, to keep it from being shipped with special license restrictions.
It's great to finally see our work having a public impact.

My video game The Cursed One: Part 1 is now available on itch.io!
It is free to play, but if you feel generous you can donate a coin or two.
It's an old school rpg adventure where you have to explore, talk to people, learn magic and solve puzzles.
I'm so excited to share this with yall!

I like how github added the "Checks" tab to the pull request UI even if there are no checks, so that it pushes the "Files Changed" tab, aka actual changes, the single tab that you absolutely have to look at to review the PR, off the right side of the display
Just fixed a bug that was both a race condition and an off-by-one 😭

Random reminder that Game Programming Patterns is a fantastic (and free!) resource for anyone interested in game programming~
http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/
It's mainly relevant for those who want to write engines, but there's stuff in there useful to people using premade engines. Plus it never hurts to understand how your chosen game engine probably works!
80% of everything in my game engine that *isn't* an awful mess was probably based on what I learned from this book.
Cool, today my windows vm blocked my login while it tried to upsell me on a bunch of microsoft services 🙄
Now running test 633 of 558… 🤔
Woo, this is pretty cool

Hey all, I wrote another blog post! This one's about programming a simple OpenGL rendering exercise with Haskell: https://blog.emisocks.com/archives/2020/10/12/opengl_and_imperative_haskell/index.html
Also available through Gemini: gemini://blog.emisocks.com/2020-10-12_OpenGL_and_imperative_Haskell/
other people: Uggghhhh, writing tests and documentation is SO BORING
me: Perhaps, but have you tried: backporting bugfixes?
One of my favorite things about mercurial's evolve extension is that it gives me the opportunity to run the command `hg stab`

Made my dream 3D modelling/2D drawing programs. Written in 1K lines of C89, build size 15kb.
