Name it Better (ideas for making more informative names)
Here's an example file tree from a part of the Godot game engine source code.

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
Godot [1] is a very nice game engine. There's a game on Itch.io that teaches the scripting language it uses [2], and a ton of great tutorials on YouTube for beginners and experts alike.

Show HN: Mutable.ai – Turn your codebase into a Wiki
The Bitcoin and Mastadon links don't seem to be working! (wiki not found)
Would love to see this for Godot (https://github.com/godotengine/godot). Maybe Maplibre too (https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native)!

My thought on different engines
Godot Engine is a free and open-source game engine. The story started as an in-house engine of an Argentinian studio in 2007, and since 2014, it's been a community-driven project with a lot of contributors.

I want to learn some low level typed language, should I learn Go or Rust?
Fair enough! I’d personally recommend Godot, because it’s FOSS, has a really nice way of doing things (in my opinion), and a language that’s similar enough to Go that when I was first learning Go I’d frequently use terms from GDScript! It’s the kind of think you can learn in a few hours. Give it a shot if you’re just getting into dev!

Can we make games using react native? Im new to this and I just made some to do, and video player apps. So I'm just curious so I can make iOS and playstore apps.
I believe most game developers would rather focus on making the game though, instead of figuring out how to make things work in React Native. In those cases, the best option is to just stick with game engines like Godot.

O3DE
It's odd to me that when the whole Unity fiasco happened, everyone was basically looking at either Godot or Unreal, but pretty much nobody mentioned or cared for something like O3DE.
If you praise Godot for being open source a lot, then it stands to reason that you should similarly prefer O3DE as opposed to Unreal: https://github.com/o3de/o3de/blob/development/LICENSE.txt (no idea why they're going for both Apache 2 and MIT license, though) vs https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/license
Unless people just care about the options that are popular enough to warrant their attention and the features that they provide, whereas the licensing is actually a boon, rather than the main factor, given that Unreal also did some slight price increases a while later as well: https://www.unreal-university.blog/post/unreal-engine-5-pric...
Either way, it's still nice to have lots of options available regardless of the licensing details (though this kind of does fragment developers among bunches of different projects), be it Godot, O3DE, Stride, Unreal or even something like jMonkeyEngine (one of the rare Java engines/editors with 3D) or NeoAxis (that one had a cool voxel LOD solution, but performance on AMD hardware was bad).

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
03DE: Open source game engine, under Apache License 2.0, developed by Amazon and the linux foundation. Seems to work under a modular package called "gems", that you can use to pull in the functionality you need. It uses c++ as it's main language, but you can use Lua, python or visual scripting for scripting stuff. Has multiplayer built into the engine and what they call a "robust" system for open-world games. There seems to be a lot of tutorials on the site, but they aren't laid out great.

Someone dropped the source code for Far Cry 1 on archive.org
Note that Lumberyard became "Open 3D Engine" (yes, very inspired name) which is Apache 2 licensed:
AFAIK all development in Lumberyard has ceased and moved to O3DE.

As a Unity user, watching Unreal Engine at GDC 2023 made me sad and jealous
Don’t forget Amazon’s Lumberyard -> O3DE fork either https://github.com/o3de/o3de

Is SPIRV-Cross a valid option to target Metal from HSSL?
I've worked on this a bit as part of the shader pipeline of Open3DEngine, From my experience there are very few compatibility issues between hlsl and sprir-v, sprir-v to msl however does run into a few issues.Here are the ones I remember
