If you're cheap like me a used Pixel3a is a grand device.

Working on a hot code reloading library for Nim. It's a general solution, but specifically for my game framework.

There's not much more to share presently. The game presently is very far from having gameplay. The "terminot" part is MIT licensed inside the game repo. The game itself is presently GPL3 licensed.

As someone working a TUI game I wanted stuff like this myself so just wrote what I now refer to as a "terminot". Actual shaders and non grid align rendering. Nice to see people attempt to emulate it in a proper terminal emulator.

If anyone is interested in what a terminot does: https://streamable.com/t5kz2y

It does not formally have variadics, but since it has tuples you can have pretend variadic generics.

Again that's this language constraining you to that. With procedure overloading it's not required that you have to have that ugly API. For instance the following is valid Nim:

  type
    Cat = object # these are just 'struct' in a different skin
    Dog = object

  proc greet(c: Cat): string = "Meow"
  proc greet(d: Dog): string = "Bark"

  assert Dog().greet() == "Bark"
  assert Cat().greet() == "Meow"

I use pixie for my game framework. It's used to load textures, layout fonts, and render font atlases. It can be used for generative art but https://github.com/EriKWDev/nanim or sdl2 using renderer's makes more sense as they are gpu accelerated.

They likely read "overloadable enums" and went "Oh Rust calls their tagged unions enums" so assumed all languages did.

> It lacks proper sum types

We've talked about this before! You know it has sum types, just not the variation you want.

> default behaviour is pass by value

Is not exactly true, smaller than 24 bytes is passed by value, the compiler optimizes larger calls and passes by reference implicitly.

Ah, yes the French, people historically known for good protests. If only that somehow related to the conversation at hand.

As a contributor it is still an awful non sequitur that does not answer the question, and brings up a fantastical world.

If you care DayZ was BE enabled back in like October if my memory serves me correctly. The Cycle always supported it through Proton. Hunt recently enabled it like a month ago(finally, HMMMMing on linux is good).

Hunt, Dayz(as does Arma3 and Reforger), and The Cycle all work on Linux.

Well there is a practical reason that in a whitespace significant language you do not want to mix indentation types. I personally prefer tabs for the user customization, but the actual reasoning that generally speaking it was(is?) hard to get tabs to render as you want in a multitude of environments whereas spaces always render as is.

Quick someone reset the inane "Days since mentioning style insensitivity".

Indent size is up to the programmer.

To explain 'why' it behaves this way is quite simple the stdlib does not have slicing operators for all of your expected cases, Nim does not have postfix operators(aside from [], {}, *) so 3.. is just impossible to define. If one really wanted to https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4nSQ solves most of the issues.
