tophat VS space-invaders-gameboy

My scripting language Umka now supports closures. This is not merely a matter of fashion, but the requirement of the Tophat game engine that heavily relies on callbacks, particularly for inter-module communication via signals.

So, whether you're an experienced game developer or just starting, give tophat a try and see how it can make your game development process more comfortable, faster, and more enjoyable. Check out the website, and let me know what you think!

Umka is now used for scripting in Tophat, a simple modular 2D game framework by Marek Maškarinec. Tophat 1.0 offers all basic functionality for graphics (including sprites, animations, particles and fonts), sounds and misic, keyboard and mouse controls. It also features collision detection and 2D path planning capabilities.

I have been developing the statically typed scripting language Umka for more than a year. Now it is stable enough to serve as the basis for various projects: a 2D game engine, a VDrift-based framework for exercising with the car autopilot logic, and a proprietary tractor dynamics simulator.

After a year of development, Umka is now in the heart of tophat, a new 2D game engine.

Last year i got started making Gameboy homebrew games. As a way to better learn the process, i decided to try re-making some classic games. In addition, i would post a tutorial. They say "In learning you teach, and in teaching you learn". This rings true for me, as in writing these tutorials it forces me to really analyze what aspects of game development i understand and what aspects i do not. Most recently i remade Space Invaders using GBDK-2020 and C. All source code and assets are available for free on GitHub.
