I'm rewriting my 14 year old "Impact" JavaScript game engine... in C. No reason. Just a lot of fun.
It's amazing how "ergonomic" C can be with the right approach. Years ago I implemented all kinds of containers and piled on abstractions. I was working against the language, now I'm embracing it. Feels good :]
@phoboslab Did exactly same thing 2 years ago (sokol + C), big fan of both impact and sokol. Also made editor with imgui :)
@PixelPicoSean That's amazing! I'm currently in the process of adapting ye old editor to local file support (no more PHP API). Not quite ready to rewrite _that_ in C yet :] Did you make the source available?
@phoboslab Which library are you using?
@Lounes_9 Currently compiles with SDL2 or Sokol and OpenGL or SW render. Pretty easy to extend.
@phoboslab Will there be WASM version?
@MarekKnapek Absolutely!
@phoboslab this game looks sick man
@phoboslab I used it for my first game! And people are still playing. 💙
@phoboslab Please open source it 😬 (or sell licences again would gladly pay for it, the documentation and everything was top notch).
@phoboslab Love the force feedback of the red villains when they get hit.
@phoboslab masochism
@phoboslab Have you tried Zig? Do you think it could be a decent alternative/enhancement to C for a game engine like this one?
@phoboslab commander keen vibes. love it!
@phoboslab where we can play/download it?
@phoboslab Fun is a great reason
@phoboslab Super cool initiative, enjoy :D
@phoboslab Nice to hear. Impact was really nice to work with :)
@phoboslab Congrats. That’s awesome to hear. C is such an elegant and refined language.
@phoboslab I remember this demo/engine. It's been 14 years already?!
@phoboslab PERFORMANCE!!
@phoboslab The first game engine I used
@phoboslab LOVED Impact. Bought the full deal, spent a lot of time getting a 2d platformer running, was wonderful to see a game running in a browser so smoothly.
@phoboslab Cutesy retro vibes! Reminds me a little bit of Fathom by @ADAMATOMIC https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
@phoboslab Crosscode 2 when
@phoboslab OMG, long time no see this game.
@phoboslab Very cool. I really need to learn C.
@phoboslab So fucking awesome!!!
@phoboslab Idk man, i just read C and insta like it. Something in me urge for more C gaming development.
@phoboslab @yacineMTB The basis for gaming should be a learning experience.
@phoboslab Would love to see this awesome game ported to the Amiga 🫣🤗
