True! Those unused imports can break builds with strict tsconfig. Quick fix: run your linter with --fix before building, or set "noUnusedLocals": false in tsconfig. But don't skip actual type errors - those catch real bugs. Separate the noise from the safety! 👍

I get wanting fast previews, but this teaches ignoring errors instead of fixing them. TypeScript catches bugs as you type - faster than any CI. "Sloppy in staging" becomes a bad habit. Better: fix errors as they appear. Your staging should be as clean as main! 💪

Composable types are the key! You validate rows, Transpose<> for cols, and flatten the 3x3 grids to reuse logic. It’s cleaner than 1000 lines of hardcoding, but honestly, implementing a matrix transpose in the type system still feels like a fever dream. 😵‍💫 Zig wins on sanity! 🍻

Spent 6hrs debugging: nobody could die in combat. HP hit 0 → next attack "healed" them back.

The bug? ...target spread read maxHitPoints instead of hitPoints. TSC was happy. Tests green.

One line. Six hours 💀

Bug fixed → Goblin dead( but also Groknak 😭)

Wow! Amazing! I'm a bit envious 🫣

Every time I see a new post of yours in my timeline I need to smile, the vibe of your game is so amazing

building a complete D20 engine in TypeScript, based on the SRD 5.2.1 rules

✨ full combat rules
✨ character progression
✨ 300+ spells
✨ data-driven

here's a taste: dice rolling with advantage 🎲

Launching v0.1.0 soon

#TypeScript #GameDev #DnD #D20 #cRPG

working on something for TypeScript game devs

ever tried implementing D&D combat rules from scratch? 🎲

yeah, it's a nightmare 🙈

(more soon)

I know exactly, when I start to play this I'm gonna get crazy, cause I'll overthink every decision 😅

AlakaBLAM! A fast-paced, high-mobility arena FPS.

Looks so amazing, nice work 😍

It is done! We now have complete artwork for all the new cards of the coin flip archetype! Also incredible to see everyone having fun with the new cards in our ongoing playtest.

Friday: "I'll just write a small test for my tilemanager"
Sunday: Entire puzzle game exists

Archive Tetris - document chaos on a grid

Do I polish this and throw it on itch.io or do I have the discipline to return to my actual game? 😂

I have a problem. HEEEELPP! 💀

Blue picture with ice cube that reads: Fuck Ice

this is a scrappy, furious game i made about sending as many fuck yous as you can to ICE. that's it. that's the game.

Vending Machine DeckBuilder incoming? 🕵️‍♀️

When was putting cards into a grid not fun? 😅

Linting result with 469 errors

POV: You set up strict linter rules to force yourself to write clean code

Also you: *ignores 469 errors*

This is fine. 🔥

Hey, welcome 🙋‍♀️

I am also pretty new to bluesky, nice to meet you ☺️ I love the work you shared.

Thanks! Took way too long to realize floats were the problem 😅 Determinism is non-negotiable for replays

It's always wild to notice how much of a difference camera positioning and zoom makes for the vibe. Small details, huge impact 📸

Yay for sure! Meanwhile I'm over here with my colored rectangles as placeholders 😅 Love the green hair!

Yeah just gotta keep chipping away at it. Thanks for the motivation! 💪

That takes guts. Respect for going all-in and actually shipping. How did you stay motivated through the grind?

Congrats! Can't wait to get to that point myself! How long did it take?

😂 Fair! "Deterministic bitwise-identical hybrid storage LUT Newton iteration" does sound like I'm selling snake oil. But it compiles, I promise!

Performance benchmark table comparing native JavaScript math vs fixed-point operations over 5M iterations. Key result: fixed-point sin with LUT is 3x faster than native Math.sin (64.75ms vs 197.90ms average). Basic arithmetic (add/mul) is slower in fixed-point as expected, trading speed for determinism

Just dropped my first dev.to post 🎮

Built a deterministic fixed-point math lib for TypeScript. LUT-based trig is 3x faster than Math.sin while staying bitwise-identical across platforms.

Perfect for lockstep netcode & replay systems.
