Balboa: Tcsc, seems like there’s even this: http://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/08/26/unity-comes-to-linux-experimental-build-now-available/
Spielman: Zap0:Phaser uses pixi IIRC
Eiland: Tcsc, just read a p2 example. looks good.
Doleman: Rcyr, what is Phaser?
Carriere: What do you think about SteamOS and OpenGL vs DX in general tcsc
Spielman: Zap0: A popular game framework http://phaser.io/
Kimple: I like opengl because i know it better than dx but neither is really that different from the other
Kimple: Dx has a cleaner api probably
Kimple: Gl works on more places
Whitbeck: One thing that was always touted that never made sense when I was more of a noob in my thinking, still a noob in practice was the whole idea of open source being better because you have the source
Payton: But now i realize, holy **** yeah that’s really a plus
Zozaya: How could I accomplish this with destructuring?
Shrieves: Let R = ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’; let glob = ”; R.forEache = { glob = glob.concate; }; // glob === ‘abc’
Vitanza: It means that you can choose a technology and be ***ured that you can modify it as your needs change later
Kimple: And steamos isn’t what a lot of people think it is. it’s really just them making a console and basing the os on linux and open sourcing it + contributing patches back in order to make the game development story on linux better
Kimple: Yeah having the source is huge. thats one big downside to unity
Wince: I’m happy that many many companies are going with an open source model
Kimple: But unreal is better in pretty much every way imo. we only used unity because they had the webgl export first.
Cadle: I think one of the best models is open sourcing your project and then charging enterprise for specific development that they need and support
Kimple: That works for some things. wouldn’t for a game, for example
Ecton: And i suppose it wouldn’t for a game engine really
Spielman: Nikesh: Something like
Spielman: Bs const x = ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’; console.log”.concat.x;
Spielman: B const x = ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’; console.log”.concat.x;
Kimple: Kamuela: it could. but probably not very well. game engines are very expensive
Linsky: So i’ve asked before, but i forget, atm i have an discussion bot with a huge if else, how can I clean that up? I think buu recommended commandscommand, but im not sure how to do that
Lemert: Tcsc, my thinking was that if you have enough money to develop a game on an existing engine and pay the engine designer to accomodate you, you already have the talent to inhouse that development
Spielman: Nikesh: But seriously. .join exists 😛
Rama: Giraffe_: https://github.com/Tennu/tennu/blob/master/src/lib/message.sjs
Spielman: Giraffe_: You can often optimize a bunch of ifs by using an object like a dictionary
Jourdain: Tcsc, but then hey maybe not. maybe you really just have performance concerns on particular platforms or whatever, and your devs are much better at making the game than fiddling with the lower level stuff
Hoskin: For a huge example of the switch object pattern.
Kimple: Kamuela: not necessarially true, but it is true in the cases that make a lot of money
Goard: Havvy: i still need to switch to Tennu when i bother not being lazy lol
Blassingame: Giraffe_: Line 378 is the important line.
Kilb: Fyi havvy theres an discussion-colors node package
Hirliman: If that interests you at all
Clingman: Giraffe_: I know about it. It doesn’t interest me personally.
Kozub: I think ill switch to an object once i get leaderboards working
Kalvaitis: Giraffe_, conceptually, what you can do is make an object that has all of your functions. and if you name the functions according to the command, you can use the input string and p*** the first into that object like commandsstring
