Project mention: Is it worth learning Three.js in 2023 ? | reddit.com/r/learnjavascript | 2023-03-03
Right now I believe it's still very niche, but with time it will continue to grow and grow. There are a lot of emerging technologies built on three.js that are barely just starting to get off the ground. It's really the core of most Web XR technologies and will still be here when you are ready if you feel node.js is a safer bet right now. If you don't feel confident math wise for it just yet, you can also look into the frameworks built on top of it like A-Frame https://aframe.io to create 3D XR sites and build your knowledge of three.js more slowly over time with a lower bar of entry.

Another option is to add a third-party physics library such as Matter.js, although setting up and integrating the physics library can be tricky. If you need physics in your game, especially more complex physics effects, Phaser is a better choice.

Project mention: does anyone know a game engine the emulates the power and limitations of the snes? | reddit.com/r/snes | 2023-01-10
I know that there are a bunch of "fantasy consoles" that provide constrained programming environments more or less similar to developing on older consoles. Pico-8 and TIC-80 are two well-known ones. Quadplay looks interesting to me, probably a bit more powerful than the SNES, but in the ballpark, in terms of resolution and color capabilities.

Project mention: So I wrote an auth server - are people using it??? | reddit.com/r/AskProgramming | 2022-12-31Backstory: Decade Jam, a game jam that lasts for a decade, began Jan 1st, 2020. I started writing a web game called Egg Trainer, but after a year of work realized that my codebase wasn't workable anymore. So at the beginning of 2021, I began working on a game engine that would power the beta version of ET - this is called the MERN-template (clearly, I'm bad at naming things).
