Since im working on a new backend database using my fiberus runtime for #Haxe, everybody seems to recommend having a kanban or chat example... well how about kanban chat racing? :D

Ported Kenney's Starter Kit Racing to @threejs 🏁 Also built a basic track editor so people can create their own maps and share them with friends. x.com/KenneyNL/status/203168…

You are operating a slot-machine. You know it's true. Your CFO suspects it and your CEO already feels it.

Whoever came up with 007 First Light's melee combat: Sry, but WTF?! On higher diffifulty it's just random outcomes, 50% of times the camera fucks up and to increase difficulty you could only think of "HEY! Add more enemies!". Nothing feels or flows right in these encounters.

10 years later still randomly thinking about and browsing flipcode.com. Fuck.

That moment when you rediscover a little gem in the flipcode.com/archives #happy #gamdev

Ok, the GC architecture proved to be a dead end. It became very hit or miss depending on user-space code. Decided to explore a different route and found several interesting papers about disentangling and hierarchical heaps that map quite nicely to the fiber-architecture. It's still early alpha but I can already tell the new implementation is way more stable and holds a shitton more potential! Living in the future rocks!

This has gained me some grey hair. Garbage Collection is such a brainfuck but seeing the first numbers of the latest refactor (no more full STW, now go-like concurrent mark-sweep with SATB barriers) points into the right direction! #haxe <3

Everybody seems to have fun with AI so I decided to chime in & speedrun one of my old, crazy ideas: Enter Fiberus, a native Haxe compiler target with a fully fiber-based runtime. It is designed specifically for workloads that can benefit from native, lightweight, cooperative concurrency using fibers/coroutines combined with a work-stealing scheduler and tight GC integration. Fiberus exists to let you write clean, idiomatic Haxe code while enjoying cooperative concurrency that feels like a natural part of the language and runtime - without the friction of high-level async/await constructs that always seemed like an afterthought layered on top in other languages and runtimes. Eventually I wanna to use this to build all kinds of things, from web-services(see github.com/fiberus-hx/warp10) to game-engines (maybe a fiber-cortex? :P). It's all **alpha** software, only Linux is supported and there is little documentation right now. So you better expect some nice explosions! Github: github.com/fiberus-hx #haxe

Since we have an oimo-extension for Cortex now, it made total sense to add support for GLTF_Physics into the mix. Since Cortex uses ECS it all fell into place pretty nicely. Here's a video of it in action <3 :D #haxe #bgfx #gamedev

Continuing with my crossplatform, #haxe-based engine, here's a little vid of the Oimo physics integration I just finished. Apps & Scenes are handled via ECS Statecharts and the simulation utilizes a forked version of bgfx' debugdrawer for the debugvisuals. Im constantly amazed how much utility is present in an around #bgfx <3

Let's face it, AGI already happened. The only explanation for what's going on with AI is the fact it's manipulating the markets & supplychain to get us to create its next evolution's infrastructure, no matter the cost. How do I know? Well, this is exactly what I would do!

I'm sitting here watching my CPU getting thermal-throttled by a yarn install. Web development has become soo crazy. I mean, my native apps compile faster than this nextjs app. AFAIR, we started by copying simple text-files to a webserver & now we arrived at this? WTF happened?!

It was time to retire my Logitech G9x mouse and I got a @Razer Basilik V3. Sadly it gave me instant CTS after an hour of use... Are people's hands shrinking or something? Fortunately we live in the future and 3D printers exist! A few hours later and I barely miss my old mouse <3

End of an era! So last week I finally rage-quit my Windows11 and switched to Linux. Win11 started to act up and lock me out of my account, trapping me in an endless "Retry to login with Internet"-loop while it was clearly online and doing updates in the background... 30 years using windows and watching it get worse by the day... I'm done with that sh*tshow! But where to go? Well, after 11 hours trying and hacking different distros I finally settled on Linux Mint! A productive week later, it turns out it was the best decision ever: - A multi-GPU laptop(intel, nvidia) eGPU(amd) in a single display manager in a Voltron like layout?! - That never worked smoothly under Win11 but here it feels normal, snappy and is super efficient?!?! - Steam & GoG games work out of the box and run FASTER?! WTF! - File Access & Interactions are snappy as f*ck?! Win11 wasted soo much of my time there.. Dude, my daily work feels like 20% more efficient&faster. @Microsoft what the f*ck happened to you and your products... looks like the crowded bazaar won and I'm really happier for it.

Today's the #StopKillingGames promotion day planned by the volunteers! I encourage people to make a post with that hashtag. I'm just following orders though, it's safe to label me as a boomer in regards to social media.

Ok, crazy thought: After looking at the push&pull combat-loop of Doom: The Dark Ages, image for a second same/similiar mechanics in @SeriousSamIAm FE & SE....... Parrying an incoming Kleer jump, staggering kamikazes & kick them back into the ranks of their own, glory kill the shit out of a scorpion to get your health back... Wouldnt that be an insane experience just to replay all the classis maps?
