- Porting My JavaScript Game Engine to C for No Reason
-
Did they say what kind of engine they will use for Project Terra?
An in-house engine written in Typescript and WebGL for rendering. ImpactJS will not be used because a) it is old and written for times when JS didn't have a syntax for classes (which makes integration of it with Typescript... tricky to say the least, I've done it); b) was written before WebGL was in wide use and thus doesn't use it itself; c) is roughly 0.001% of the CrossCode codebase anyway, the stock """"""engine"""""" itself (which you can see on Github) is just a few thousand lines of code (very short for a game engine). They may have recycled the codebase of Weltmeister for the next project in some capacity, but then again, WM was originally written in pure JS, so it may very well be that the name is the only major part of it left. They will continue using nwjs though, that's for sure (i.e. not Electron).

Vite & Remix Shenanigans
For my case, I was trying to integrate (the deprecated) KaboomJS into React and Remix. I already built a few games years ago with Vanilla JS & Vite, but I really wanted to create a single website that hosted all of the games in one deployment on Vercel.

Ask HN: Platform for 11 year old to create video games?
I have used Kaboom https://kaboomjs.com/ to help a diverse group of kids build a simple 2d game together. It’s a toolkit specifically geared toward 2d platform we type games but it could be adapted to make other 2d games. I liked that it was just JavaScript under the hood so you can introduce many programming language concepts, but the engine makes it easy to get things going with very little code. There are also lots of opportunity to focus on design aspects over pure code.
You can also use it online with Replit https://replit.com/@replit/Kaboom#code/main.ts which lets you get up and running quickly and share your work online easily.
Apparently it is no longer actively maintained by Replit, but I’m guessing it still works fine and there is also a community fork: https://github.com/kaplayjs/kaplay?tab=readme-ov-file
