Hey! I've been creating a #game #engine #framework in #vala

Its ECS based, and its called Veggies (eat your veggies!). 🥦

My reasoning for this framework is to have a game framework alternative to #csharp. I'm not liking the encroachment #microsoft has over #gamedev and #indiedev

The video is the well known bunny mark demo. Renders up to 16000 bunnies before being under 30 fps. Still needs a lot of optimization.

I'm taking ideas from frameworks like #pygame, #pine, #FNA and #excaliburjs

So, what's next?

1. First, try to implement at least the snake demo.

2. Second, try to find more samples for more APIs and try t make them work.

3. Add docs, even simple ones with just links to the main SDL3 docs.

4. Port the rest of the SDL3 libs into vapis. I think SDL_Image and SDL_mixer are ABI stable so I could do that.

5. My secret plan with all fo this is to actually implement some frameworks, like #excaliburjs and especially #FNA into vala.

Let's hope I can achieve all of this!

New version of the Excalibur.js game engine was released, v0.30, with multiple new features, changes, and even more bugfixes.

I've been wanting to do a sort of SDL3 Vapi for #vala. I'm not an expert at all on the language, so I'll have to get better at it.

But I've been wanting to use a language similar to Csharp, but I don't want to have anything to do with Microsoft if I can avoid it.

I dunno if there are similar languages to C# with similar expressiveness and syntax. #Vala seems to be a good candidate.

Even a port of FNA for #vala might be nice... And call it VNA?

A port of #excaliburjs could be great as well.

Wooo! I'll be presenting about building JavaScript Blazingly FAST! At NDC Oslo this year! I've learned a lot about how to make JS fast while building Excalibur.js

I have been greatly enjoying the @excaliburjs engine from @erikonarheim for a small gig I got for a hyper casual game.

The choices were either Godot or Phaser. And well, Godot right now creates too big binaries to what is required on web, unfortunately.

Was going to use Phaser, but I stumbled on #excaliburjs. Uses typescript and ECS, and I'm liking it so far. You can use ECS from scratch or use the Actor pre-composed entities.

As of now, my tools are excaliburjs for web and FNA for the rest.

Long time since I did an #ldjam Compo, found a javascript framework to play around with and threw together a little puzzle game, inspired by Swedish Television's The Great Moose Migration!
