Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine?
I haven't used many engines, but I've been programming some simple games with LÖVE [0] and (to a lesser extent) LÖVR [1] and like them both.
But maybe not real game engines, as you need to do quite a bit of work by yourself. I guess it depends what your definition is of a game engine.

I love Python, but I ought to branch out. I've done some stuff in C# and Java, but never as much as I've done in Python.
If you are into VR, I'd try lovr.org. It allows you to build VR apps with just lua code.

Ask HN: Anyone tried development using an Oculus?
Personally I found LÖVR [0] easy to use, based on Lua.

TrackIR VS Cheaper alternatives
I want to buy something like TrackIR (I don't know much about equivalent products). My friend told me about a DIY tracker that I could use (opentrack).

Preview: XREAL virtual display, no additional hardware
Out of curiosity, do you have a formed opinion on Opentrack for 6DOF support? It would be cool to have a little input plugin from your software for the XREAL into Opentrack! I usually play Il-2 1946 and other flight sims on a docked Steam Deck, and opentrack + android phone with AI recognition is a god send.

Should I buy the IR5?
I think you’ve got the wrong sub. But I thank you. I’ve learnt a load figuring out your acronyms! For anyone not following trackir is this https://www.trackir.com/trackir5/ (which looks remarkably similar to a head mouse extreme which you can’t buy). It’s head tracking. Not eyegaze.
