Drifting Through Code: My Journey to Building Bappa
Bappa's design is intentionally decoupled. The core packages have zero external dependencies, focusing purely on game simulation logic. The client layer coldbrew integrates with Ebiten for rendering, input handling, and audio.

Building a Sliding Puzzle with Go
We finally have a functional game! Now, we can work on a GUI for our sliding puzzle. I've choose Ebiten, an open source engine that allows us to build 2D games. It makes us implement an interface with the functions Update, Draw e Layout.

Lag Is Never Where You Want It... Or Don't Want It
Reading ebiten docs and source code they very clearly state that writing RGBA bytes to an image is slow, and shouldn't really be done every frame, at least many times per frame. This is where I thought my performance was being lost, and it sent me looking for answers for ages. Turns out, I was wrong and right.

Making Games in Go for Absolute Beginners
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.
