It does and I use it and I love it.

But I now, thanks to this post, see I am weak. I must feel pain to feel alive! /s

This is my thought every time I see anyone talking about the unity news.

Advantages:

  • runs in a web browser
  • very easy to code with

Disadvantages:

  • does not compile to a binary
  • is capped at JS speeds
  • has limited resolution

Runs at industry standard speed.

[-] [email protected] 43 points 2 years ago

is capped at JS speeds

So, just like every Electron app?

Are you trying to make games in electron?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There is actually a decently popular game made in Electron that just recently switched to Unity. RIP

Vampire Survivors. I was pretty surprised when I looked at the game files

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Except worse, because it's an electron app interpreting the app you actually want to run, so double slowness.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

double slowness.

Sorry, but we prefer to call that "cinematic".

All fun and games until someone forks it to remove the limits.

How's tutorials and troubleshooting resources vs unity? Being able to Google answers is super important.

Bro really needs docs in order to program with frickin' blocks

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I think there's likely more scratch tutorials though the advanced stuff just requires a basic understanding of logic.

Check out turbowarp desktop. You can make a bigger stage and export to exe.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This. Turbowrap is amazing.

Back in my day we called it DigDug and it blew my mind.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

Oh wow, I didn't realize it was open source too!

Electron only. ๐Ÿคข

But it's written in some oddball language called Squeak

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Squeak is just a programming environment for Smalltalk, the language in which object-oriented programming was invented.

If anything, it's those languages that tried to bolt on object-oriented features to Algol that are the oddballs!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Smalltalk is still being used? That's really surprising honestly.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Have you heard of objective C? It is basically C with embedded Smalltalk.

In my first programming class in what Americans would call middle school (I was in grade 9), we got introduced to scratch and used it to draw penises lol.

there's a guy in the emudev server working on a gba emulator in scratch (and completed a Gameboy one, and it's pretty accurate AND fast!)
