hello! i wanted a share an update on void, my 2d game and app engine for web. the attached video is more of slideshow to fit the server requirements but you can watch the source video (drive.google.com/file/d/1RfnN...) instead if you like (set quality to 1080p). the transcript follows.

there's something called AssemblyScript that adds more primitive types like int and there's a proposal for adding struct-like functionality but neither of these is close to stable and i'll still be using Go at work. i am coding nervously. i still feel like i'm going to hit some hidden roadblock.

i think there's a little more i could do here like minifying my shaders and maybe runlength encoding my data. the gzipped size about 20 KB but i'm base64 encoding all the Wasm as a JavaScript string so keeping that smaller may be worth it.

until very recently, i thought that any Wasm usage, particularly Go would be a massive download. however, that's not the case! tinygo is a compiler for embedded devices and Wasm that optimizes for size.

the bottleneck seems to be the GPU as i'm not doing any CPU-side sprite culling and when i shift the camera to limit balls drawn, the framerate climbs back up.

my professional work has started drifting more into Golang so to better align my life, i'm rewriting void again this time in Go. it's going to take some months.

🃏 there's a tiny new release of superpatience.com! notably, some mouse bugfixes and power usage is greatly reduced. open-source TypeScript: github.com/oidoid/super....
