  Ebitengine - A dead simple 2D game engine for Go

Project mention: Making Games in Go for Absolute Beginners | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-24

I love Go, yet I've never thought of it as a language with usable game engines. I'm extremely happy to find I was very wrong about that!

I'm woefully behind the curve on compiling to WASM, though, and I've yet to experiment much with tinygo so I have no idea how far I would get in creating a game people could enjoy in a browser without having to download a big bundle of assets. It's reassuring to see WASM mentioned explicitly as a compilation target [1] by Ebitengine though.

Project mention: How is the 7900 XTX on Linux? | /r/linux_gaming | 2023-06-20

I got lower fps than my friend 3090 in games and i got million less bunnies spawned in the bunny mark bench mark https://github.com/sedyh/ebitengine-bunny-mark. so my guess is the driver is still bad and you will get better performance with a 3090 even if the specs is way better on a 7900 xtx
