Wicked Engine

SDL vs Unreal
Code base really small because it develop by solo developer with help from some volunteer contibutors. Support DirectX12 and Vulkan. There is editor for edit and save scene file but it's not finish yet so you have to mostly add features that you want by yourself beside rendering part. https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine

If you DON'T use UE/Unity what is your workflow
I just ran across the Wicked Engine yesterday. It's C++, cross-platform, MIT licensed and works with both DX12 and Vulkan. I had missed it in numerous searches I had done previously, so raising it here as it seems to be easy to miss.

A Rant on Developers
I'm not speaking out of my ass, either, I have very actively followed low-level development being done towards open-source engines such as Diligent and Wicked. I personally am a contributor to the latter engine, as well. It is baffling to me that independent developers don't support this platform.

If you want to make your own engine but you need modern advance graphic features out of box. I think Wicked Engine is a good choice. https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine

Ask HN: Best stack to make a 2D game in 2023
I've personally had a very good experience with Haxe and Haxeflixel (https://haxeflixel.com/) although Heaps (https://heaps.io/) seems to be more popular nowadays.
Haxe is very nice as a language, can easily cross-compile to a lot of targets, Haxeflixel is heavily inspired by some Actionscript framework and has a lot of goodies. Maybe Heaps is more mature, up to date and allows for more advanced features.

What is the worst engine you've ever used and why?
Not really the worst, but you can say my least favorite, and that would be heaps.io
-
why are gamedevs so against sharing code?
Yeah I think it's ideal for 2D development. Look into heaps.io . . you might like it! These days it seems the best source of community for haxe is in their official discord server.

Picking a language
Many frameworks will let you export for the web, even if you don't code your game in JS. Unity, Godot, Bevy(?), heaps.io ... the list goes on and on.

I tried the Flash AS3 at school and it was nice
It takes a little while to get comfortable with heaps.io, largely because tutorials in the Haxe world are pretty limited. Here's a good place to start:

Everybody always says to 'build your own projects' or 'solve your own problems', what are some things you've done or personally solved for yourself that can inspire others to get their own ideas from?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most people use Unity or Godot for jams these days. But as long as your framework exports for the web, you should be fine. Personally, I use haxe and heaps.io, but it's a bit of an outlier and probably requires learning a new language on top of learning a framework.
