Mindustry - The automation tower defence RTS. Java
Project mention: Shoes makes building little graphical programs for Mac, Windows, Linux simple | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-23Just a heads up: PySimpleGUI 5 isn't open source any more [0], and the official GitHub repo was replaced with a stub [1]. From the blog post, it sounds like the people behind it will probably remove the FOSS version from PyPI soon.
It's possible the community will fork it with a version of PySimpleGUI 4 that's still kicking around, but I haven't seen one yet.

Take a look at SFML. Very easy to get started, and quite capable.

> you can still use it with smart pointers provided by any other library
Is the point of having a kitchen-sink library like this not that you dont have to reach for a 3rdparty library for things that you need 'all the time'?
Certainly, not everyone needs it.
...but, not everyone needs threads either. Not everyone needs an http server; and yet, if you have an application framework that provides them, when you do need them, it saves you reaching for yet-another-dependency.
Was that no the point from the beginning?
unique_ptr is a fundamental primitive for many, as you see from some other frameworks (1), and implementation is not always either a) trivial, or b) as simple as 'just use std::unique_ptr'.
This does seem like a very opinionated decision with reasonably unclear justification.

A Dark Room - Text Adventure with survival and city-building elements. JavaScript

Project mention: What projects or open-source contributions can impress Jane Street recruiters for a Quant SWE role ? | /r/csMajors | 2023-07-03Deep mind actually has a repository where they applied this algorithm for incomplete-knowledge games. You could use it for reference: https://github.com/deepmind/open_spiel/tree/master/open_spiel/python/algorithms
Project mention: So...apparently the hoarder bug model has organs inside of it? | /r/lethalcompany | 2023-12-06I used a tool I found on Github called AssetRipper. All you gotta do is open the program and select the game folder. You also wanna download Unity 2022 to browse through the assets since they‘re stored in a Unity specific format (.asset). I don‘t know the specifics of turning it into a useable format like fbx but there should be plenty of tutorials on that.
Project mention: Is there any game where you can design your own weapons/vehicles? | /r/computerwargames | 2023-12-10It is more an RTS than a 'classical' wargame, but you could do it in Warzone 2100. It is old for now (but it was very fun in 2000s). It could be fun for you today. There is a free and open source version : https://wz2100.net/ .
