I didn't followed the Youtube comments, however the comments from the Twitch chat are strongly biased to the no-OOP camp ... It is interesting to see how Casey's followers are more vocal than him. While Casey has technical arguments to reject OOP (more or less justifiable) the disciples seem to have (at least some of them) a visceral hate for OOP which I find hard to understand from such inexperienced people (most of them are students).

Works with Clang and GCC.

Obviously, Visual Studio doesn't work (they have almost complete support for C99 though, so maybe in a few years they will include C11 support).

I've had a completely different experience. Phaser is one of the easiest to use JavaScript game engines and the documentation is well written, also they have plenty of examples. If you prefer to learn from a book, there are also a few books available.

Phaser has a cleaner API, is more popular and has way better documentation.

Anything that can serve static web pages will work, you can even share it from Dropbox and people will be able to play the game in their browsers.

If you want free, a Github page is a good option.

In a one on one situation at a close range you are right, in theory.

Lets try a metal experiment, you have your knife and 3 enemies attack you at the same time. How many can you neutralize from 5 feet with your knife ? Suppose you have special training and you can throw your knife and kill one of them, you still have 2 ... Try the same mental experiment when you have a firearm in your hand ...

You can inflict much more damage with a firearm even without special training (not everybody can throw a knife and do some damages).

While this may have an influence, it's important to remember that police officers are also trained to be wary of knives

Are you seriously comparing a knife with a firearm ?

I know :) but I still find it amusing. In a similar vein, in most Hollywood movies Romanians are presents as thugs, but with Russian names.

Others were back in Romania only briefly because they needed to take care of paperwork in Budapest.

Hilarious that the author thinks Budapest (this is the capital of Hungary) is in Romania :). Maybe he thought of Bucharest.

Pretty sure if you make more than 1mil per year you can afford to buy VS. The community edition is intended for indies, hobbyists and small enterprises.
