1. One can use the browser's devtools (press F12 when browsing the site) to figure out the needed files.

2. Create a list of the files (files.txt).

3. Download the files using the browser or a downloader:

      wget --input-file=files.txt --show-progress --directory-prefix=forest --force-directories

How to play is explained here [1]

By the way you can run the games locally. Just download all files.

For the forest game you would have a local directory:

   ├── Build
   │   ├── Build_7_30_F.asm.code.unityweb
   │   ├── Build_7_30_F.asm.framework.unityweb
   │   ├── Build_7_30_F.asm.memory.unityweb
   │   ├── Build_7_30_F.data.unityweb
   │   ├── Build_7_30_F.json
   │   └── UnityLoader.js
   └── index.html

then just run the following in the directory

    python3 -m http.server

> Do you have "open URLs with a browswer" turned off in your OS?

But the application works differently. It needs the browser in kiosk mode, which means it should be able to run the browser binary with specific arguments.

If I understand correctly, it's WebSocket on top of Embedded C/C++ web server (civetweb).

Also, the application must find and launch the installed browser. In my opinion, this part is very fragile. On my system, this function (webui/src/webui.c) :

   static bool _webui_browser_exist(_webui_window_t * win, size_t browser);

cannot find my browser.

7z and gzip disagree with this statement.

if you have fmt (a console program from coreutils, on Linux it's usually preinstalled) then

1) mark your lines (Shift+v then move your cursor)

2) press ':'

3) '<,'> !fmt -w 80

In the similar way I also use column to format text.

The only effective way to raise the confidence level of a program significantly is to give a convincing proof of its correctness. [0]

Edsger W. Dijkstra

CONTEXT:

Argument three is based on the constructive approach to the problem of program correctness. Today a usual technique is to make a program and then to test it. But: program testing can be a very effective way to show the presence of bugs, but is hopelessly inadequate for showing their absence. The only effective way to raise the confidence level of a program significantly is to give a convincing proof of its correctness. But one should not first make the program and then prove its correctness, because then the requirement of providing the proof would only increase the poor programmer’s burden. On the contrary: the programmer should let correctness proof and program grow hand in hand. Argument three is essentially based on the following observation. If one first asks oneself what the structure of a convincing proof would be and, having found this, then constructs a program satisfying this proof’s requirements, then these correctness concerns turn out to be a very effective heuristic guidance. By definition this approach is only applicable when we restrict ourselves to intellectually manageable programs, but it provides us with effective means for finding a satisfactory one among these.

Cool! I would use a template parameter so that a user can choose between float and double [1]. I would add support for vector arrays (AOS and SOA) [2]. I'm not sure if your angle calculation algorithm is computationally cheap [3].

Adding a new game object to a game increases its complexity ("combinatorial explosion"). Good tools are needed to deal with this.

Regarding Godot 3.x and HTML5 export. Users reported crashes with GLES3. It seems stable rendering is based on GLES2 (WebGL v1.0). Some features don't work in HTML5 (e.g. "Some features are also not supported in WebGL 2.0 specifically."[1]; "built-in antialiasing will not look correct for translucent lines and may not work on certain platforms" [2])

Jonathan Blow has been a huge influence on (independent) game developers. However, The Witness contains puzzles that are impossible for colorblind and hearing impaired people. I'm not sure I can classify this as "a thesis on learning/pedagogy, motivation/reward, truth seeking and self fulfilment."
