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

Upgrading to Sierra for Ruby Devs

Often when upgrading to the latest OS X MacOS you have to do a few things to account for changing to underlying libraries. Here are the post-upgrade steps I took to get back to a fully operational state. I use homebrew and rbenv to manage my environment.

1. Get your Developer Command line tools upgraded.

To do this just run

$ xcode-select --install

#!/bin/bash

compose_file_path=$1
project_name=$2
backup_path=$3

function backup_volume {
  volume_name=$1
  backup_destination=$2

#include <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

extern void ButtonClick(void);

@interface GoPasser : NSObject
+ (void)buttonClick:(id)sender; // this should call the cgo function defined in main.go
@end

void StartApp(void);

# On slow systems, checking the cached .zcompdump file to see if it must be 
# regenerated adds a noticable delay to zsh startup.  This little hack restricts 
# it to once a day.  It should be pasted into your own completion file.
#
# The globbing is a little complicated here:
# - '#q' is an explicit glob qualifier that makes globbing work within zsh's [[ ]] construct.
# - 'N' makes the glob pattern evaluate to nothing when it doesn't match (rather than throw a globbing error)
# - '.' matches "regular files"
# - 'mh+24' matches files (or directories or whatever) that are older than 24 hours.

Falsehoods Programmers Believe About "Women In Tech"

• We have absolutely no idea what we're doing in tech. Please explain the utmost basic things to us.

• We only do web design. Our whole reason of being in tech is to make things pretty. Consider us the doilies of the industry.

• We're not laughing about your joke, so we clearly need you explain it to us. In great detail.

• We're only in tech to find a husband, boyfriend or generally to get laid.
