UE4/5 are way too large for most projects. Unity double-dips your revenue, is buggy as hell, has no support and no source code. GameMaker wants a subscription, has no source available and GML locks you into their tiny ecosystem. Defold forces LUA on you and has rather limited device support. Cocos2d is apparently a Chinese subscription now? Also, no good editor. JUCE has a good editor, runs everywhere, is price reasonably, but is mostly CPU and not GPU. Dart+Flutter look promising until you notice that they run Skia WASM inside the dart VM which itself runs in WASM which runs inside a JS VM and performance is abysmal. JS frameworks run badly on consoles like Switch because you can't AOT compile them. Also, no static typing. Godot forces their rendering and engine loops on you, so you're limited to their render pipelines which makes it unsuitable for app GUIs.
That's not how Flutter works on either of the platforms it supports.
When you run natively (e.g. mobile, desktop, etc) Skia or Impeller execute natively and all your Dart code is compiled ahead-of-time to native code as well. No JS or Wasm is involved anywhere in the stack. No JIT compilation in release binaries, only during development.
When you run on the Web - then naturally Skia is compiled to Wasm and Dart code is compiled to JS or Wasm, JS VM will end up running both of those. No Dart VM is involved anywhere here.

it sure looks like there are parts of the Dart VM in the call stack. Maybe I should have said Dart runtime?
But anyway, the dart example app stutters on my Android phone and the website stutters on my quad-core laptop with a mobile 3080. And it's basically just tappy chicken, so a simple 2D side scroller.

Monogame (C#) or LibGDX (Java/Kotlin) could also be good options and both are very mature and tested.
MonoGame looks like what I was searching for. As for Haxe, I always thought of it as a Flash competitor.
Bad political candidates from all major parties.
Excessively high costs for housing, health care, and education.
Global warming.
Environmental pollution of all kinds.
The perverse incentives that are aligned to destroy anything that is good.
Diseases and aging.
Oppressive, authoritarian workplace structure.
Ubiquitous tracking and invasions of privacy.
Inadequate and inconvenient public transit.
Aggressive, dangerous drivers/cyclists/etc.
Annoying locked shelves in drug stores.
Insufficient public restrooms.
Poorly maintained public infrastructure from roads to power systems.
Downvoting systems on web sites.
There’s definitely a market for this; it just has to be easy.
(I was going to create a 3D model of my foot using my iphone but it required taking 200 photos from various angles per foot. I instead just ordered 4 pairs and returned 3.)
- Applying for jobs and getting a phone interview as a service. The total number of applications and total rounds of interviews is too much. It's worth paying someone to do all this. Perhaps as a saas with an AI chatbot.
Each response requires scheduling a phone call with the recruiter a few days out.
After each recruiter call, there's a round of interview - either with a software engineer or with a hiring manager.
Then some take home or such BS.
Then an onsite with multiple rounds.
--
The ideal interview as a service will take care of all the rounds prior to the onsite rounds.
First, you start by making a demo showcasing your skills. It has to be something web-accessible.
Then, you use this demo as your application to jobs.
You can also just submit your demo to a pool, and companies can review submissions to the pool, and contact you if they like it.
Your work becomes the application, not your PDF.
So I stopped doing that. Another part of the problem is that I am a super experienced JavaScript developer who can write original high performance applications. Nobody wants that. It might be a valuable skill one day for founding a new company based around an amazing new software product, but employers don’t want that. In the world of JavaScript they want newbs that can put text on screen with React.
What got me call backs and interviews at a high rate, even for remote jobs, was to throw my resume up on Dice job board and focus on three things: I have programming experience, a security clearance, and information security certifications.
Finding offers for local work is easy on LinkedIn but once you go fully remote worldwide there are so many websites/listings to look at and so many open positions to apply that I get a bit overwhelmed.
I'd probably happily give my first or first two salaries for this work, given that it's truly interesting for me. Now, the catch is that I'm more Junior than Senior and there aren't many open positions for things like systems programming, etc. so it might take quite a few months for the whole thing to come to fruition, and I don't have too much money to pay monthly.
The good thing is that it's probably not that much work specially once you've sent several CVs and are waiting on an answer so the agent probably can do several clients at once.
I want the ability to purchase a game for an upfront payment and then enjoy it. I do not want them to wage psychological warfare on me to get me addicted to their gatcha lootbox casino. I do not want to have a high retention and come back to grind every day
I just want to purchase a game, play through it alone and without interruptions, and then get back to my regular life.
Wellness is way too broad for all of us to have applied familiarity in everything.
No promises, but I'll do my best to help try and identify some unusual stuff that may be going on, turn over some new rocks.
I've helped pull my partner, myself, and others out of some pretty deep holes, that a list of doctors could not.
you can contact me on my email, that would be soo helpful
I wish there was a way to just select them in a skill tree like an RPG and have the system plan out the next few semesters.
I've designed a few ideas, and thought about it for a long time; but honestly I haven't come up with a novel solution to what's already out there. I'd pay for just the design, and build it myself at this point. I'd probably pay 1000 dollars for it, and dedicate a lot of space to it; I hate scooping litter that much.
I changed my approach to my resume based upon their suggestions. They would actually rewrite it for me to the point of it almost becoming a fraudulent document but I was able to take it and double down on my strengths and unique qualities. This allowed me to become a hot candidate for defense jobs because I already had a security clearance and information security certifications.
It turns out if you have good experience programming there is a lot you can do outside of programming, in my current case: data science and API management. Good luck.
Sure, it's a pain collecting mail every few days, but at least you keep your home address private.
is that not what you'd pay an accountant for?
A system to vote up or down on arbitrary content/items.
A uptime monitoring tool that allows pushing a specific status, for example when a build fails.
Charge a premium but make sure everything is efficient.
