CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like Unreal or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d

Qlobe

Qlobe is a fascinating example of quine in Ruby, submitted by a member of the Ruby core team - Yusuke Endoh.

Programs that output changed executable versions of themselves while managing to spin the globe and still remaining executable are cool, right?

To experience its magic, run the following

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

    echo "When a service requires root access, you will be prompted for a password as needed."

I have managed to install this… and make it work. I implemented it for Facebook and Google, but you can extend it. My solution it is mostly as described in #116, with a bit of more code presented. The key aspects that lack in the #116 presentation (IMO) are:

• the registration as service of your custom FOSUBUserProvider (with the necessary parameters)
• set the service for oauth_user_provider in the security.yml with your custom created service

Here are the steps:

1. Routing. In routing.yml I have added all the routes for both bundles.
2. Configuration. I have set the config.yml mostly as it is presented in the HWIOAuthBundle.
3. Security. I have set the security.yml mostly as it is presented in the HWIOAuthBundle (though my routes are using /login pattern, not /connect). Also, the oauth_user_provider is set for my custom service.

tmux cheat sheet

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:
