UnrealEngine VS PixiJS

Visual Studio has a related annoying habit when navigating the call stack (the caller's scope is considered closed if the callee is syntactically its tail) so I wonder whether this workaround would be useful for it as well.

See also this comment in the Unreal Engine code about putting a nop in before as well: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/26677ca1b3c97...

    // Q: Why is there a __nop() before __debugbreak()?

> you can still use it with smart pointers provided by any other library

Is the point of having a kitchen-sink library like this not that you dont have to reach for a 3rdparty library for things that you need 'all the time'?

Certainly, not everyone needs it.

...but, not everyone needs threads either. Not everyone needs an http server; and yet, if you have an application framework that provides them, when you do need them, it saves you reaching for yet-another-dependency.

Was that no the point from the beginning?

unique_ptr is a fundamental primitive for many, as you see from some other frameworks (1), and implementation is not always either a) trivial, or b) as simple as 'just use std::unique_ptr'.

This does seem like a very opinionated decision with reasonably unclear justification.

It is not publicly available. If you click on this link you get a 404 page: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine You actually have to go and subscribe, agree to their terms, and then you get to view the source code. It happens to be free, but it is by no means "public".

Like I said before, you have the fixed code here (commit: 23937975).

Before you can access the repository at https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine, you must: be an Unreal Engine subscriber. have a GitHub account. have associated your GitHub account with your Unreal Engine account as described on the UE4 on GitHub page.

What you need to do is follow this link and diff my file with Epic's file. You can grab settings that I have from mine and plop them into a custom one for yours. Just be mindful if you're developing in VR for what settings you bring over.

Originally it was going to be NetworkPrediction (need to be signed into a github account with Unreal Engine access for that link to work), but since David Ratti left Epic that died and they stopped working on it. (I didn't know it was dead, that was the CMC replacement I was referring to)

Found this while looking through UE commits

If you're into video game dev, then PixiJS is something you need to know about. It's a HTML5 game engine that provides a lightweight 2D library across all devices. This latest update has a new package structure, custom builds, graphics API overhaul, and lots more. You can read about all these changes in the PixiJS Migration Guide. Also big congrats to PixiJS for being part of the open source community for ten years now! 😮.

For full web games (yeah, I come from the web, so I try to make my family proud), I will recommend PixiJS. It has great support for TypeScript and works very well with Vite. It's lighter than other game engines, so it's better for web games. But you will need to do a lot of things by yourself.

PixiJS (MIT/TypeScript) https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs

That approach works well for what I was trying to archive but I am planning on adding more functionality into the website. Hence in this article, let me rebuild the project using Pixi.js and it’s React binding, React Pixi.

There's also a bunch of Javascript game engines: https://github.com/collections/javascript-game-engines

Of those, BabylonJS seems pretty powerful for 3D: https://www.babylonjs.com/games/

Or PixiJS for 2D: https://pixijs.com/

https://pixijs.com/ is more of a 2D rendering framework, but powerful and very fast
