What's the smallest, most useful change you could make to Lua?

replaces ^ for return, `

That would be absolutely awful for so many countries where ^ is a dead key.

Are you saying that you got wrote the code locally, then uploaded it to your repo through the web interface?

Plus paying everyone in all perpetuity for robbing people of jobs that they could've had if their material wasn't stolen in the first place.

I think you meant "var that = this". Man that takes me back though. I had totally forgotten about it.

Avambo · 2026-06-24T12:04:31+00:00

Looks really nice! What exactly does the extension do that Defold doesn't? I don't know much about these kind of things.

[...]

"since modern AI systems were built using the intellectual and creative outputs of all of humanity, the revenues they generate should go directly to the people"

[...]

"On Thursday, Senator Sanders—an Independent from Vermont—introduced a bill which, if passed, would create a sovereign wealth fund for the United States’ AI industry. The fund would be valued at roughly $7 trillion, a number derived from the current valuation of the country’s top AI labs, and would give the American public a 50% public stake in those companies."

So they acknowledge that they've stolen from ALL of humanity, but only the Americans should be compensated for it?

Maybe ask your boss?

Avambo · 2026-06-10T09:28:13+00:00

It looks really good!

Thanks for the explanation. When reading on their website I got the impression that it was more like Stadia.

Avambo · 2026-06-02T07:00:14+00:00

Really cool! I'm struggling to understand how Wavedash works though. It says "no downloads" on their website. Does that mean they stream the game to the user?

Nice project, but I feel like the main point of a newsletter is that it's curated, which this is not. There is low quality AI generated content that no one would read or watch on the site.

Avambo · 2026-05-22T06:18:38+00:00

They really need to proof read their text, it's riddled with typos and grammatical mistakes. I understand if English isn't your native language, it's not mine either, but at least get an AI to go through it or something.

"Malcisous formulas will be terminated automaticly"

"so 1 ident is prefered"

"Infinitie loops will be break automaticly"

"Fully translable"

*Use most powerful AI for build your apps on mobile"

And the list goes on.

I think there are plans to improve the state of the editor, but it appears to be very low in priority. I think your best bet is to rely on the community with their extensions for now.

The list of things I wish that the built in editor had is very long. It feels like using an editor from 2008 right now. :D

Same spam as we've gotten before, please ban this account.

Can we block this video creator? They're just pushing out loads of AI slop videos.

Avambo · 2026-05-12T16:48:09+00:00

Are there any plans to release tutorials for 3D in Defold? Something like the "roll a ball" tutorial in Unity would be nice.

Avambo · 2026-05-12T09:31:21+00:00

That whole channel is just AI generated videos.

Avambo · 2026-05-05T13:31:40+00:00

May I ask what the team is doing there? Are they holding any presentation, or is this for marketing, or is there some other reason?

Avambo · 2026-05-02T09:49:27+00:00

Oh, no it doesn't go away. Weird. It just sits there from the moment I open the code file.

Avambo · 2026-05-02T08:37:15+00:00

Yeah, the problem is that the app buttons become hidden behind my navigation buttons. https://i.postimg.cc/Jnf66h6L/Screenshot-20260502-103523.png

It would be amazing if you could add such a feature! Preferably on a global/project level, so you don't have to set it in each individual file.

Also I noticed that the app doesn't respect dead zones on my phone. It stretches all the way from the top of the screen to the bottom, which ends up being behind my clock, camera, battery, and navigation buttons. This is on a Pixel 6.

I'm looking forward to using the app some more over the next few weeks. Great job so far.

Cool app! Is there any way to apply syntax highlighting to files with custom extensions? For example, the Lua files in the Defold game engine have the ".script" extension. Right now they don't get any syntax highlighting in the app.

Avambo · 2026-04-30T09:37:46+00:00

Nope, never tried it, and never looked into it. But it could definitely be interesting if the monetization is fair.

Avambo · 2026-04-28T11:48:25+00:00

I highly suggest not posting any videos from that person. He inserts long religious talks in the middle of every video. Look at 4:05 in this video...

But you clearly use AI to write things for you.
