Project mention: Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with Switch, Nintendo confirms | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-06
I'm certainly not blaming game makers in general because of the situation of Apple dropping 32bit Intel support, but I think Valve is a different story:
- They've been very diligent in the past about keeping their games up to date.
- Valve owning Steam means their flagship games are a strong signal about macOS support on Steam
- If they really wanted, they could; they certainly have the resources to do so should they want to+; which means, they don't want to, which is a signal in the other direction: they stopped caring about macOS
+ HL1 has a FOSS engine that apparently supports it, and more: https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs/blob/master/Documentatio...

RGFW
A cross platform lightweight single-header simple-to-use window abstraction library for creating graphical programs or libraries.
Project mention: Is it possible to write plain C iOS app in 2025? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-14I’ve written a pure C Mac desktop app in 2024 that called the objective-c bindings directly. It is using a modified version of this library https://github.com/ColleagueRiley/RGFW
While I don’t think that library does iOS specifically, you can have a look at the code to see how you can call objective-c from c. Spoiler: doing so kind of sucks, and also the library code isn’t the most elegant thing I’ve seen.
