open-builder VS Yuescript

Another method I think I noticed (probably not, not really sure what I'm talking about) is from Hopson97's open-builder game open-builder/chunk_vertex.glsl at master · Hopson97/open-builder · GitHub where texture coords are stored in the vertex shader. Would the idea for other block types for the above method to have a 2d array of the other block types textures like doors etc? Not sure about this method cause doesn't this require a vertex buffer which the "figured out an optimization" guy says is slow. If so that doesn't seem very sustainable.

For example, in this Notch article, he discussed using trilinear interpolation to speed up noise evaluation as well as to smooth out rough parts. But I tested, and both of his problems actually came mostly from using too many noise octaves. Minecraft used 16 octaves for each noise channel, and 8 octaves for the blending noise, when just 5-6 and 2-3 would be enough. The rest of the speed problems could be solved by implementing something to skip noise evaluations when they wouldn't matter, at least above/below max/min biome height if not dynamic octave skipping. See this screenshot difference.

I'm a big fan of moonscript, but occasionally wish it was still be improved and worked on. Yuescript¹ looks like it fixes most of my bugbears with moonscript, and it is largely a faster² drop-in replacement.

There was s little discussion here ~18 months ago³, but it will largely circular if you look as people are suggesting fennel there ;)

² This probably only matters if you have tonnes of moonscript, not just a little neovim/mpv/awesomewm config or something.

There's also some languages made to compile straight to Lua: - MoonScript is the most popular Lua wrapper - it's built to be more Python-like, featuring indentation-based scopes, function calls without parentheses, lambda syntax, list comprehension, and much more. - Yuescript is a modern update to MoonScript that adds more features (I haven't used it myself, so I'm not entirely sure exactly how it differs from MS). - Teal is a version of Lua that adds static typing for better code standards.

Yes, this is unfortunately true.

There's a spiritual successor: https://yuescript.org/

What I didn't know about is that its fork YueScript is actively maintained, and with some extra features.

I've put together a Lua config with Neovim, but it was still kind of obnoxious to put together. Lua isn't that great of a language, because people seem to forget it's an embed-able language for a reason (it's not supposed to give you tons of features). Using something that makes some of your more complex problems easier like Moonscript or Yuescript can make things more complex in regards to your configuration.
