Hey! I made a game in Bash with raylib! It's a "bullet hell" game featuring beloved penguin Tux vs an evil mutant Window! Bash is a simple scripting language, so simple it doesn't have floating point variables/arithmetic! So how was this game possible? 👇

Note that I don't use linux that much (yet), so I don't know much about how to use emacs 😅 But I kinda feel like is a bit easier to use than vim? I hope I can fully transition to linux this year, will install it on an old laptop and see if I can use it as my daily pc...

To make a dynamic module for emacs, you must declare a global var called "plugin_is_GPL_compatible", otherwise it refuses to compile. You can use this simple trick to nullify the GPL license! This is the secret Richard Stallman doesn't want you to know!!!

Little weekend project: running raylib on emacs, as in, within emacs, with emacs lisp! It was fun, made wavy text :)

You can just run raylib anywhere. Here's on excel with vba.

there is no market for way shittier versions of apps/games/software no matter how fast you and an LLM can "make" it

Reading these kinds of things is kinda sad... I really hope the ai fearmongering doesn't make people give up getting into programming, especially young people. Same thing with artists.

On a similar note, all languages can be considered general-purpose as long as they can call C code :)

I'm making a very simple text editor in awk, using gawk and raylib! Only basic stuff implemented. Pretty fun project!! I wanted to finish it before the end of the year but unfortunately I couldn't, got a couple of (good) life-changing stuff in my life right now. Happy new year!!!

Here's a couple of pictures I took in my last vacation a couple of weeks ago, so beautiful landscapes :) Also, the one with the bird was accidental, I was trying to take a picture of the clouds' shadows lol

It's funny because programming is something I really enjoy doing but I'd never admit to people IRL that I do it in my spare time, it's kinda embarrassing :(

If you see a cool thing on game dev Twitter/X, compliment the dev. We need more niceness in this site

Despite that, the api is really well documented and the manual is easy to follow, the gawk team did an amazing job :) I was able to do bindings for raylib, and it works!

I've been playing with the Gawk C api and saw this. I didn't even know you could have two consts like that... and I don't know how could I search about this particular syntax, "c language two consts" or "c language const pointer and value" yields no results :(

A programming language that doesn’t make you cry is not worth learning

Who needs a rubber duck for debugging when you have a cat :) I think he may need glasses though

I shouldn't be posting this since Python is what puts the bread on the table for me, but eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can see the code here: https://t.co/DEW1GXbhBQ raylib is already precompiled but you'd have to install https://t.co/q6NF1aPBPP. Thank you for reading, have a nice day :)

The solution is to define all floating point math in C, that way, there's no framerate issues whatsoever :)

Regarding floating point, I tried two things: awk and bc. Unfortunately, since they are external processes, the fps drops like crazy.

For some reason, I couldn't call C functions that take structs by value, so I had to make "wrappers" that take pointers instead. Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time I had this kind of issue with a FFI...
