a professor at Illinois got frustrated with existing systems programming textbooks so he started a wikibook project and had students help write it it covers C, processes, threads, synchronization, memory allocation, networking, filesystems, scheduling and security

One of the best free courses on low-level performance programming - Aalto University's Programming Parallel Computers covers SIMD, pipelining, cache optimization, and more. If you care about squeezing CPU cycles, this is definitely worth taking up. ppc.cs.aalto.fi

I didn’t know it before seeing this but I’ve built so many GTA 6s from scratch in my life
Jun 10
Day 1 of building GTA 6. Still feels fake typing that out. Upgraded to Claude Max 20x just for this. Spent a couple hours getting the whole project structured and pushed to the repo. Sandbox is up and running. No studio, no publisher. Just whoever shows up. We picked Godot on purpose: it's community-owned, so nobody can pull an EPIC on us later and rewrite the deal once we're invested. The goal: beat the real GTA 6 to launch. Ambitious, probably stupid, doing it anyway. If you can model, code, build levels, or write music and lore, come join. Looking for a couple contributors to cook this. Time to cook. Reply if you're in.

How else will he swindle investors into an IPO & then cash out before nothing he predicted happens?

Recently have been quite. Been spending time learning about shaders and tha math behind it using raylib. And working on a game in unreal engine.

Since a few people have been asking to try Detis Engine lately, I’m considering an early developer license. What you'd get would be a precompiled version with API access to build games via Lua scripting. Would you want to try it out? Apparently X's Polls are broken for me right now, so let's try to do this manually: - Drop or type 1⃣ if you're definitely interested. - Drop or type 2⃣ if you're just here to follow the devlogs. As the engine was originally designed for my own project-based needs, prepping a standalone build and basic documentation for outside devs takes a lot of extra effort. I'm checking the interest level first to make sure it's worth taking that time out of making the game.

More AI-generated code doesn't make your team faster. It might actually slow you down.

Just a normal night working inside my game engine. I love it. House is quite, screen is glowing. Adventure ahead.

In my downtime, I've been working on a small first-person dungeon crawler inspired by the likes of Eye of the Beholder. It still needs work, but I'm happy with what I have so far (and there's some placeholder text at the end of the video). #IndieDev #PixelArt #DungeonCrawler

AI sucking the joy out of programming is making me turn to retro computers🙂. Here's an interesting 2004 student project from MIT: The Design and Implementation of the Nintendo Entertainment System. CPU PPU VGA implemented on FPGAs. PDF link:

If a man needs a job, he's gotta get one good luck
Day 0x00000005 of manifesting a job. -> Remote, open to relocation in Schengen area. -> C/C , assembly, systems programming, compilers, PL design, ... For today you get nyancode, a little quirky esolang! (Link below). CV: zuhaitz.dev/zuhaitz_cv.pdf

I recorded a timelapse creating an environment in Detis Engine. Full video in the comments 👇 For anyone not familiar with the proiject, Detis is a no-bloat game engine I built from scratch in one year to power and speed up my own game creations.
How it Started vs. How it’s Going 2025 I built a custom C /OpenGL 3D game engine and editor from scratch in less than a year, and just ~2h average a day. Now, let's see how far I can push it with a small proof-of-concept game next. As the year closes, I want to thank the group of people who has been following along while I created this project. The comments and reactions on every post motivated me to climb another step every day. Cheers!

自作してるゲームエンジンで全リソースを一つにパックする機能をようやく作れました! 初めて別のpcでゲーム動かせたよ これで配布できる…ネットワークも試せる…!試遊イベントにも参加できる!! 実行ファイルも含めると100Mbくらいだった

Legendary video game designer Hideo Kojima says he's not interested in AI-generated art “Art is life. But in 50 years, 100 years, I don’t know. Maybe AI could create art, but while I live, I don’t think I’ll see it. I’m not interested in it" (via: The Washington Post)

A developer posted this on Reddit, and I haven't stopped thinking about it.

Waving to you from inside my game engine 🌊 Spent the day modifying the procedural wind system (vert animation) & creating a new wave system. Global controls per-entity controls as well. Should be good for water, lava, & other special effects like animated flags perhaps.
