Age of Empires II is very popular but doesn't have multiplayer support on Linux.

Technically maybe, I don't know. But in practice, your bash will use tools like this and break if they are different / missing on a future build host.

If using a programming language with locked-down package dependencies, then all you need is the compiler/interpreter and your script will work.

Does a game "run on Linux" when it has 100% feature parity? 90%? 80%? What are you willing to cut? Some performance? A few graphical effects? Multiplayer?

When you look at the details, Linux gaming is not as good as it might seem.

But I'm still gaming on Linux!

The tools you will call from your bash script differ in subtle ways between Linux, macOS, MinGW.

One good example is `uuidgen`

Bash is not a great cross-platform choice. Too many subtle differences.

The best way is a scripting language with locked-down dependency spec inside the script. Weirdly .NET is leading the way here.

If you are not willing to make this trade then how much of a priority was run-time performance, really?

Tutorial was pretty confusing to me. I formed "HIM" and it rejected it, no explanation why.

Project 2025 was strongly against active travel, yet increased car dependency is one of the main factors in poor health in the USA.

MonoGame is stable and still receiving updates.

I would strongly suggest that for quick code-first prototypes. The boiler-plate of "load a texture and render to screen" is quite minimal - you could perhaps make a small library for yourself?

It also has no opinions about how you structure your game data. This means you can represent things like a Flappy Bird clone as just a `Vector2`, rather than having to bash a graph of entities in the shape you want.

CodeWars has a nice Kata grading system that features many intermediate level problems.

Buck 1 used Python directly and it had lots of issues compared to Starlark.

There are. The rhetorical strategy is to argue that Brexit was a good idea, but it has not been implemented properly. Look for the phrases "Brexit means Brexit" and "proper Brexit".

How would you measure these?

- making associations

- generating original ideas

- more perceptive

...

"spatial awareness" I can see though
