    I added another location to the map on Axes, Armour & Ale https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale So next I'll be looking to add overworld encounters and a village / town location.

    This coming week I plan on procrastinating a little more with different dungeon styles. My game has several different environments so far, with more planned. So I get to play around with cellular automata, BSP and other techniques. https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale

    This week has been a week of refactoring... not intentionally though. I'd planned to start adding multiple dungeons all over the overworld map. But every time I started to add this, I found a previously undiscovered bug in some part of my code. My save file was duplicating saved data in several places, and not reading it back correctly when reloading the game. So I've streamlined the save/load process and, touch wood (taps head), think that I'd squashed all the bugs now. https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale

    I wonder if using your library (https://github.com/floooh/sokol) instead of OpenGL will alleviate some of these issues for newcomers! There's already a sokol port of the learnopengl.com code (https://github.com/GeertArien/learnopengl-examples), so it shouldn't be too hard to match between the tutorial articles and these.

    If you're looking for something like this, Sokol is a much simpler alternative:

    https://github.com/floooh/sokol

    It doesn't support vulkan though, but if that's important to you you're probably much better off just using vulkan directly since it's supported on all the major platforms.

  • Why glibc 2.34 removed libpthread
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2 Jul 2023
    All I can do is give you a couple of Github ticket links where users of my libraries stumbled over the issue (and with different symptoms):

    - https://github.com/floooh/sokol/issues/376

    - https://github.com/floooh/sokol/issues/404

    - https://github.com/floooh/cimgui-sokol-starterkit/issues/6

    We then added a dummy call to a no-op pthread function, so that users can better figure out that they need to use -pthread because now they get a linker error instead of a runtime crash or hang. This has since reduced the 'support overhead' quite a bit:

    ...inspired by:

    But it's not so much about the build system, but requiring a separate C/C++ compiler toolchain (Rust needs this, Zig currently does not - unless the proposal is implemented).

    It's not Rust and TS, instead C and JS, but Emscripten has a very nice way of integrating C/C++ and JS (you can just embed snippets of Javascript inside C/C++ source files), e.g. starting at this line, there's a couple of embedded Javascript functions which can be called like C functions directly from the "C side":
