  1. Just posted a new devlog for our C-based web engine, Archimedes!

    It's been a long road from Pygame to a custom C/Emscripten stack. I'm breaking down the architectural hurdles of moving away from our Daedalus library and how my collaborator @smattymatty has been stress-testing the engine with a vampire survivors clone and recent game jams.

    To celebrate the progress, I've rewritten my old ( and very broken ) Game of Life simulator from the ground up. It's a great feeling to see a legacy project running smoother than ever on new, custom-built foundations.

  2. Finally found a reasonably simple UI layer that I could use to animate my GOL (#gameoflife)

    #nannou (docs.rs/nannou/latest/nannou/)

    It's not nearly fast enough for me, but it's a start.

    The package already has a GOL example... but I used my own 'board' crate.
