tangent, re: adventures in game development
I do wonder if I'm gonna be the first one to ship a game that runs in Node.js (as opposed to a browser), though. This doesn't seem to be something that anyone has really explored?

@bram Right, and I know there's a bunch of games that ship an Electron, but those crucially are all Chromiums/Webkits of some sort; instead I'm directly using SDL and OpenGL from Node, there's no browser engine involved at any point

@joepie91 oh damn! yeah that deffo sounds more unique for sure

@bram I'm using https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kmamal/sdl and https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kmamal/gl, in case you're curious - they seem to be the only maintained and up-to-date bindings :p

@bram (This is mainly because I'm not really comfortable shipping a vendored copy of something as complex as a browser engine for a game, which is relatively unlikely to get timely updates)

@joepie91 gamedev tycoon was written in nw.js, a precursor to electron
