Just posted a new devlog for our C-based web engine, Archimedes!

It's been a long road from Pygame to a custom C/Emscripten stack. I'm breaking down the architectural hurdles of moving away from our Daedalus library and how my collaborator @smattymatty@socialontario.ca has been stress-testing the engine with a vampire survivors clone and recent game jams.

To celebrate the progress, I've rewritten my old ( and very broken ) Game of Life simulator from the ground up. It's a great feeling to see a legacy project running smoother than ever on new, custom-built foundations.

Remaking my old Game of Life clone with Archimedes

Four years ago, I began developing small games for the web, I started with pygame and pygbag, but quickly found myself wanting more control and performance. This led me to transition to C and discover...

Attached: 1 image Try out my game: https://smattymatty.itch.io/archimedes-survivor A fast-paced survivor roguelite - start off simple, scales to absurd chaos! My friend and I have been making the 'Archimedes' game engine from scratch for some time - an 'off-and-on' type of project - and this is the official tech demo! If you like survivors-like games, you'll probably enjoy this. But be warned: It's quite tough! Can you get past 3 minutes? Most can't. #indiedev #indiegame #roguelike #rogu

Working with strings in #C can be frustrating. Buffer overflows, manual memory management, tedious concatenation - it's easy to make mistakes and hard to write clean code.

Replying to

@smattymatty@techhub.social Reading this brings to mind a classic Captain Picard quote. He once told Data, "Part of having feelings is learning to integrate them into your life, Data, ...learning to live with them. No matter what the circumstances ... Sometimes it takes courage to try, Data. Courage can be an emotion too." I think we all can learn something from that.
