noa VS gutenberg

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..).

https://github.com/fenomas/noa/tree/develop

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!

Case study 3: Zola

So after shopping around a bit I found a simple, dependency-less static site generator called Zola. The lack of dependencies sounded very attractive after all the headaches trying to update my Gatsby modules. I wanted to give Zola a try and see what tradeoffs I would need to make coming form a React-based framework to this Rust-based generator.

I think you're thinking about Zola: https://github.com/getzola/zola

But yes, if I were to recommend something, it'd be Zola given that there's just one executable that you need to run and there's absolutely no setup required.

If I were to start again from scratch, I'd likely use Zola as SSG (https://www.getzola.org/)

I've used Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) for a static project homepage a few years ago to showcase examples with a simple description and a wasm app embedded in the page, it worked perfectly for me and the docs was clear on how to use it. It was very easy to set up along with a GitHub action to automatically update the wasm binaries when needed. It is definitely a tool I keep in my mental toolbox as a good default.

I'm currently learning https://www.getzola.org/.

It's more manual than idy like but it's gonna be for a small personal and work website so I don't mind much.

It's super fast.

Doesn't seem to fit your use casr but still.
