I am excited to share this new single-header C library I have been working on for a while now: vecmath.h, a comprehensive vector/matrix math library for graphics/games/3d.
It allows you to write vector math code in C that looks like this:

Does the idea of making a game in plain C, without using an off-the-shelf engine, appeal to you, but you don't really know how to go about it?

Here's "Repair/Rearm", a game I made using only a handful of single-header libraries, but without an engine,it's just the game code doing only what's needed

I'd like to talk a bit about this a game I made, all done in plain C, using only single header libraries, and it runs in the browser too.

It's called "Neon Lies" and it's a retro-futuristic cyberpunk story in a William Gibson style setting.

"Very hard work" - I thought you would say this ;)
I guess it's a lot easier when you are young and don't have family (especially the cost part). I have chosen a part-time path so that I can sustain the family, and dreaming of full-time gamedev :)

#Solodev paradox: You have complete creative freedom but no one to bounce ideas off. You can change anything instantly but second-guess every decision. You're the boss and the employee, the critic and the creator. It's lonely and liberating at the same time. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Good code, from experienced software engineers, should be readable.
Economics and Physics are both super complicated, but a good teacher can explain them using a relatively small variety of words.
Code that cannot easily be read is not automatically faster.
Readable, simple code is a laudable goal.

I love computer programming. Its a beacon of reliable, dependable, clear and concise common sense in a world full of insanity and emotional outbursts. Learning to code is good for the soul.

Valve's 30% Platform Tax is Bad for Small Developers It's time to follow Epic's lead by offering 0% fees on each dev's first $1 million.

www.pushtotalk.gg/p/valves-30-...

Valveโ€™s โ€˜make the rich richerโ€™ policy is so fucking infuriating. if 97% of devs on steam account for โ€˜onlyโ€™ 15% of revenue as this article states, surely creating goodwill among that โ€œmajorityโ€ would be a smart move, at least?! wake up, valve. ffs.
