pyxel VS middleclass

Nice work, gives me very Micro Machines vibes for the NES. The only thing I don't like about PICO-8 is that its completely closed source. An open source alternative that seems very promising is Pyxel. It has similar retro / pixel art limitations, a built-in sprite editor, music tracker, etc.

Just make games with pyxel https://github.com/kitao/pyxel

There's also game engines which are fun to use in python, like pyxel.

A function to automatically generate an application launch URL has been added to Pyxel, a retro game engine for Python (https://github.com/kitao/pyxel please add your star to this repository!).

It's fine. You might also enjoy working with Pyxel, which is a little more pixellated and fun and not exactly "classically production ready" either. (I mean, games like Papers, Please could be programmed in Pygame, but that's about it).

If you like retro games, Pyxel seems nice.

I am trying to document my code and I am using LDoc for that and for OOP I am using the library middleclass. All of my classes are in a main framework folder and inside that I have each namespace as a folder and then classes that are specific to that namespace in those folders.

The ConTeXt typesetting system tightly integrates Lua. One aspect of Lua that I dislike is its inability to easily write OOP-ish code. What's impressive about the language is that it can be extended to do so in astonishingly little code:

With OOP in place, I was able to typeset a hexagonal grid and a symbolic representation of a neural network on top, using a more OOP-like approach. The classes are straightforward.

A vertex defines a point in 2D space:

An edge connects two vertices:

* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...

A graph connects edges:

A priority queue serves for ordering graph edges by weight of adjoining vertices:

With these concepts in hand, we can typeset a grid and a "neural network" on top:

Here's an example of the output for chapter 1:

And chapter 14, where the "network" has grown in complexity:

This is for my near future hard sci-fi book on AGI. I'm looking for alpha readers to give me feedback. See profile for contact details.

To reduce the amount of boilerplate code, I created the fork of middleclass repo suitable for Neovim plugin managers: it just adds a symlink to middleclass.lua file in lua/ directory. middleclass is well known and tested, so I suggest using it as a standard class realization. I also open a pull request to merge it upstream.

Not exactly what op asked, but if you want classes in Lua definitely check out https://github.com/kikito/middleclass

Like /u/TheMightyHUG pointed out below, there are patterns you can use to do OOP without any extra help. In the past I have used some libraries to improve the ease of doing so, specifically middleclass: https://github.com/kikito/middleclass

Same, but when I do I like when authors include everything in one file so it's easy to manage. Here we have the library, some small 10 line file with helper functions that's required and we also need to remember about the licence. Take middleclass as an example, one file, license included, ready to plug and develop.
