noa VS yadm

Neat thread! My contribution is that I'm still working on a web-based voxel game engine. It's gotten pretty stable, so maybe about time to tackle some big missing features (e.g. physics for non-square voxels..).

Our motto: "the voxel engine so good that Mojang once pretended it was an old buggy version of Minecraft" ;)

https://github.com/fenomas/noa for the engine, but as a warning it is just a voxel engine. It isn't a game engine. Its fun to mess around with though.

Annoyingly there's not much to tell. It was a web version, released as a one-off marketing thing and then never updated, and Mojang didn't reply when I tried to get in touch (via contacts at microsoft). So I never really found out anything about it.

It's still live though: classic.minecraft.net

The voxel engine is: https://github.com/andyhall/noa

Would a browser-based voxel game engine count?

The reason for not using an existing library is just that there weren't any usable alternatives at the time!

Everyone hand-rolls their own dotfile management system, but YADM already does everything you need:

https://yadm.io/

I've been working around this using tools built on top of git like [yadm](https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm) and relying on `ls-files` to list all my tracked dotfiles and their paths.

Still having everything in one place would make things much simpler. Great idea!

I wonder if the program i use to manage my dotfiles could help manage your scripts and extend your setup to all your desktops? Its called yadm (https://yadm.io/) it makes it so easy to have a laptop and a desktop or two.

I really like that one but still prefer yadm because you can just edit your files as usual and then yadm add them wherever you are.

If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

I personally use YADM. It's basically a git repo on my home folder, that only tracks what I explicitly set. And you can setup bootstraps to do what you said, install a bunch of stuff or make custom changes. In it's essence, it's a set of bash/sh files that are executed sequentially when you launch the yadm bootstrap command.
