This is obtuse. Native applications require multiple codebases. Electron doesn't. The value prop is there...

want to contribute! I don't have a mac, so it makes it hard to test out such a feature, but we are very open to contributions :)

I disagree with this. Theres nothing about this system which requires the world to be infinite. As an example, check out https://www.badnorth.com/ which uses wave function collapse to generate the islands.

The worlds are carefully tuned and aspects of them are controlled, but the algorithm is the same and I do think this creates worlds or at least aspects of gameplay with great interest.

Thats a disappointing trend. I personally like github for project management explicitly because it offers more features and options (and they are continuing to improve it)

I'm in washington and it showed up for me too.

given his recent travel records and the genetic testing that linked his particular strain to subsequent patients, it's highly likely he was patient zero

I'm not sure Mars is the most effective way to make humanity better with your billions

I've only got a windows box, so its probably unlikely for me to be able to make a package for whatever distro you are using. Building should be very easy though and I would love some help working out any issues in building for any particular distro

Let me know how it goes if you do try it

An alternate solution that I am considering and will try if and when it becomes available is to create a new or even parameterized renderer. Druid-Shell is an up and coming option by Raph Levien and company. I've also considered pathfinder. There will be more options as time goes on and I would like to make the system modular enough to explore them.

I would need to build the equivalent of https://github.com/aclysma/skulpin for metal. This would be very difficult for me personally to do as I don't have easy access to a modern macos machine. The total amount of code is relatively low though

You have no idea how happy that makes me. I appreciate the kind words :)

That's interesting that you say that. To you is it the nifty-ness of it or the functionality? I'm considering new features now that the issue tidal wave has calmed down and trying to prioritize which ideas to tackle next.

I've been working on Neovide for a couple months, it supports ligatures, emoji, and a nifty smear animated cursor. Maybe some folks here would find it useful or interesting.

Technically it uses Vulkan and is based on Google's Skia rendering library. Further it uses HarfBuzz for shaping and Winit for window management.
