Project mention: Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-295.4.5 can be compromised
Recently, while creating some experimental C# source code generators (xafero/csharp-generators), I was just concatenating strings together. Like you do, you know, if things have to go very quickly. If you have a simple use case, use a formatted multi-line string or some template library like scriban. But I searched for a way to generate more and more complicated logic easily - like for example, adding raw SQL handler methods to my pre-generated DBSet-like classes for my ADO.NET experiment. You could now say: Use Roslyn and that's really fine if you look everything up in a website like SharpLab, which shows immediately the syntax tree of our C# code.
OpenRCT2 - Roller Coster Tycoon 2 clone. C++, SDL2, OpenGL
Project mention: Cpp2 and cppfront – An experimental 'C++ syntax 2' and its first compiler | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-31
Project mention: Hello everyone, I made a Windows 10/11 Multitool app with Winforms. I'm just gonna share some screenshots. | /r/csharp | 2023-05-19GitHub/WCT/Controls/DataGrid (source code for the control)
As someone said, make the game data-driven is a good first step but I will say, also have some sort of way to add additional game logic. For C++ games, lua is really easy to embed the interpreter in your C++ binary, read in the files from a directory (like /mods) with the C++ filesystem api new in C++17, and it's very easy to use SoL to write an API for lua specific to your game. Many games use lua in this way and it's probably the most common mod path setup.
