Posted by wertigon Posted by strfry The main issue, I think, is that something has to handle the actual game logic. It's the logic that makes the game, after all. Just HTML and CSS can't implement that¹, you'll need some form of scripting. Be it client-side (JS) or server-side (PHP et al), you'll no longer have just HTML and CSS. By saying that's where the PHP comes in, you only hurt your own argument. |

Does HTML5 have its own logic allowing lock-and-key mechanics and state? Don't answer that or we'll never get back to actual interactive fiction solutions that have actual practical implementations. |

For interactive fiction? Certainly you can at least get a reasonable Cloak of Darkness rendition in BASIC. I'll bet there already is. |

Posted by sureanemDo you even Mono? No, because you're too busy playing with fire. Edit: okay I felt I ought to address your claims a little more before I lay the banhammer down. Atrocious performance? Bullshit. Windows-only? Absolute bullshit, and I should know. Unpredictable? Probably bullshit in that I can't recall any such issue. Strike three, you're out. |

Posted by funkyass More padding than Sakuya. Okay, so one stupid thing he'd actually reminded me of involving compatibility is from one update to the next, MacOS messed up somehow and made the key repeat in Noxico go all weird. I took a very close look at how the game handled keyboard input (quite important for a roguelike don't ya think?) and I was pretty much stumped. That day, six years ago, was when I gave up on MacOS support. That's right, I did it before it was cool 😎 You know what's nice about runtimes? Generally speaking, in my experience, you only need one installed per major version. I have a bunch of VC runtimes of various vintages, all shared by programs who don't need to carry all that around. Instead I have just the one VC2015 RT or whatever, and that's it. Every program made in VC2015 can and does use that, unless the creator explicitly chose to static-link. It's exactly the same with .Net... except where Unity is concerned. Much like Electron apps each having their own copy of Chromium, Unity games each have their own Mono runtime. Why is such a simple little game more than 30 MB, when most of its bloated mass could be shared with all these other much more intricate games? Because fuck you and fuck your drive space that's why. As for the Electron thing I just mentioned, that reminds me. Imagine for a moment there's some real creep-ass vulnerability that's found in Chromium, that in turn affects the Chrome browser. Considering their market share, Google quickly figures it out, patches the vulnerability, and releases an update. Your browser is now safe (*scoff*) but... oh dear, you get owned through an interactive fiction interpreter instead. (at least all these separate copies of SDL are fairly small...) |
