10 year old wants to step up from Scratch and learn "word coding" - Book or other recs?
Adventures can be saved and launched locally using the player on your smartphone or PC.
- INSTEAD 3.5.1 released!
-
People who make IF games: what do you love/hate about the engine you use?
It looks like you are describing the Instead Engine and some additional modules to it.
-
How would you all improve IF (discussion)?
I think it will be clearer from the documentation.
-
Have people here tried building there world as a text based adventure game?
Well, I read this - https://github.com/instead-hub/instead/blob/master/doc/stead3-en.md Creating a game through the modelling of the world.
- Writing Process for Interactive Fiction

Is there a fun way to learn programming?
Happy Adventure Building! If you suddenly want something more powerful - https://github.com/instead-hub/instead/blob/master/doc/stead3-en.md

Making an SCP text based adventure - Any suggestions?
For example INSTEAD Engine - docs, game examples.
-
I am making and Undertale text-based adventure game
Huh, this is a task for an advanced programmer. But. You can take a ready-to-use engine for text games if your task is to make the game, and not to learn a programming language. For example: Instead Engine - docs, game example (download, play online)
-
Trying to make a class system for a text based game, is this a good way to do it or is there a better way (I'm a noob with classes)
I think you should look into a text-based game engine that already has all the classes you need to implement. For example Instead Engine. The documentation for this engine gives a good idea of the required framework. In addition, the minimal console implementation of this engine contains only 100 lines of code.

Is there a cross-platform graphics library that can run without X or wayland that runs on the BSD's bare-metal?
Something like this ? https://arcan-fe.com/
- X.org Alternatives? MicroXWin, Wayland, Y, DFB, Xynth, Fresco, etc. (2009)

kirby.nvim: design update
This requires to remove the terminal emulator plus adjust IPC, like what arcan is doing: https://github.com/letoram/arcan

VT330/VT340 Sixel Graphics
kragen, what's the current status of BubbleOS?
Also, I'm curious what you think of Arcan (https://arcan-fe.com)
-
Qt Wayland: support for surviving a compositor crash was merged
afair ChromeOS do implement it, harder to find the commit but also know Arcan mentioned elsewhere in this thread added it quite a while ago https://github.com/letoram/arcan/commit/d547c55565a848946422e24eee324c8ed091ff15
-
not the biggest Xorg fan, but it isn't all sunshine and rainbows in the promised Wayland.
I managed to find this one in my history: Arcan it does has a cool name ngl, I never tried it though
-
Wayland blows ass and mostly functions as a launcher for x.org processes. Nobody needs, wants or asked for Wayland. It's nobody's fault but the assholes at FreeDesktop
Lol not arcan

A Guide to the Terminal, Console, and Shell
See https://arcan-fe.com/, in particular Lash: https://arcan-fe.com/2022/10/15/whipping-up-a-new-shell-lash...

Is Wayland really the best solution
LOL. Not. Meanwhile, one dude managed to write an entire display server that handles, both, Wayland and X11 apps: https://arcan-fe.com/

SDL Tries Again To Prefer Wayland Over X11
Arcan is a decent contender for an actual way forward (and like PipeWire replacing PulseAudio, Arcan natively supports X11 and Wayland clients)
