What’s the advantage of running this server side?
Get a can of black beans and some rice. Make the rice, put the beans on top. Black beans and rice.
Godot can run on fairly low end stuff, just use the opengl based renderer. The official Godot docs are actually pretty dang good nowadays. Join a game jam asap https://godotwildjam.com/ you’ll probably find a team willing to take a newbie. You’ll learn a lot. Good luck!
Glad I didn’t have to scroll to see Aphex Twin mentioned. 🙂
Try out Godot. It uses a really simple language (gdscript), has excellent learning material, and you can make games!
Depends if you want a managed service or not. As stated by others, any Linux vm can do it: Aws ec2, Azure, Digital ocean, etc. Cost won’t spiral because you pay a fixed fee for the vm you choose (can be like 5 dollars a month).
The options that can spiral if for some reason your app started being used a lot. But likely these will be pretty much free:
A lot of cloud platforms have some sort of managed container service. Wrap your app in a docker container and pay per 10K API calls for example.
Another option is to use a managed service that handles the runtime for you (AWS Lambda, Google cloud app engine, etc.) These options should have the option for a dotnet core runtime. They can also be really cheap if your app isn’t used much.
On Android (maybe iOS)? You can hold down on the space key and drag left and right to move the text cursor. Very useful.
Music for Nine Postcards. Ambient / minimalist music inspired by “the movements of clouds, the shade of a tree in summertime, the sound of rain, the snow in a town.” It’s a cozy little record 🙂
The CLI and probably other more advanced guis are going to give you the option to:
That’s just off the top of my head and also stuff that you can learn on the job. Good to know it exists though. I still use a “gui” (fugitive for vim) for simple tasks, like staging files 🙂
Seconded. I daily drove a yoga for some time (really a flex). It worked pretty well. Definitely check the compatibility of whatever laptop you choose before though. I had to manually install a driver everytime I updated the kernel until it was finally merged into mainline. 😬
Sounds like you want to contribute to something for the sake of contributing (hopefully that’s not true). You’re skill is worth something.
Going to spew some jaded bs: Don’t pick a project that makes you sign some bullshit release, pick something that some rando started and released with no intention of monetizing. Volunteer to work on a passion project that you’re also passionate about. Not something that will be used by some 9-5 300k a year tech bro. That’s just my opinion though. “Open source” has been used by big companies to generate free labor (looking at you Adobe, etc).
Off the top of my head, the SignalK project is something I’ve wanted to volunteer for. They make some software that lets marine sensors (depth sounders, Windex, speed paddles, temp sensors, etc.) Communicate in one standard format. They built a web app with node and react as a proof of concept. It could for sure be improved. It’d be neat if it caught on because vendor lock-in is huge in marine hardware / software.
Lua is incredibly easy to embed.
Github desktop will get you into trouble if you ever try to work with a team. Fine for solo development
My last phone bit the dust because I made the mistake of taking it apart to repair it. It became a gluey piece of garbage. If I want it be waterproof I’ll stick it in a sandwich bag. Or maybe the manufacturer can use the novel tech of gaskets.
This is basically the unix philosophy. Build a bunch of separate apps that can be hooked together (via pipes).
Yeah, there probably won’t be a great search experience that includes results from every lemmy instance. It’d be a neat problem to work on.
It’s going to be a lot smaller since it doesn’t bundle a version of chromium in every build. Instead it uses the systems native web view. This does pose the problem of vendor specific rendering issues… How snappy it feels is down to how the front-end programmed. It can still be a mess of bloated JavaScript 🙂
