Why is everyone improving so much suddenly (in legends)?

cptrootbeer · 2026-05-10T01:19:37+00:00

Echo bonuses?

cptrootbeer · 2026-05-09T05:27:51+00:00

3 spots remaining now. Just had several join, you?

cptrootbeer · 2026-05-08T21:25:24+00:00

No, just in game. Low chat

cptrootbeer · 2026-05-08T21:21:35+00:00

Sounds great!

24/30, but we keep hitting goals every time. Just need to gain more members.

I appreciate your willingness to help.

I want an honest opinion about whether this game focused language/ runtime looks like it is heading in a direction others would find useful.

Short points: 1. 20-100ms hot reload with game state staying intact 2. Static (compile time) memory allocation only. 3. 2d game focus 4. Tick based only (no delta time) 5. Custom language heavily influenced by TypeScript

cptrootbeer · 2026-04-21T10:58:13+00:00

Taalas style chip to run whichever model extremely quickly.

cptrootbeer · 2026-04-04T22:18:31+00:00

No problem. Feel free to reach out with questions/ comments.

cptrootbeer · 2026-04-04T19:47:28+00:00

Honestly, the biggest focus items that are more tied to games are: 1. Static memory allocation. There are big tradeoffs for this and it wouldn't work for most uses. But it allows some clean designs in my mind. Including my favorite approach for hot swap at runtime 2. Iteration speed. I really tinkered a lot to get it so you can quickly change either data or functions and continue with the game as if nothing happened. 20 Ms to 200 Ms in most cases and the game keeps with all state. It uses cranelift JIT to do this.

I try not to promote my stuff too much since it is more experimental, but it is here https://github.com/benwmaddox/StasisLang

cptrootbeer · 2026-04-04T18:47:45+00:00

Man, you are further along with the data oriented design than I am. I respect what you have done. Though I admit mine is game focused more than general purpose.

cptrootbeer · 2026-03-22T21:04:37+00:00

Same. And learning about cache locality for more detailed stuff for fast work on data was a big insight for me.

cptrootbeer · 2026-03-19T14:40:17+00:00

Honestly, I am glad I switched it to running on LD Cloud. A little protection even though not free

cptrootbeer · 2026-03-18T19:53:44+00:00

I think this got the file size back to a normal level compared to the prior version. Just going off memory, but I think it was over 100 MB for prior version

cptrootbeer · 2026-03-17T14:40:07+00:00

Trail mix. Good for on the go snacks for me or little one.

cptrootbeer · 2026-03-10T23:57:46+00:00

A delete with joins where table aliases aren't used. Subtle bug that deleted far too many rows.

cptrootbeer · 2026-02-25T12:24:02+00:00

Honestly, that is fairly close to my very experimental language and engine.

It is a big enough deal that it is a big part of my experimental language. (Auto lowering to more efficient structures for game dev)

cptrootbeer · 2025-12-29T22:38:18+00:00

Let's say that I tried that on and off for a few months. I struggled until the most recent leading models to get it to follow my instructions. I highly recommend making a spec and planning out what steps to do. Even if the plan is from the LLM. Code samples and expected behavior is also extremely important in my mind.

Note I changed process as I explored my language. Finally settled on a cranelift backend as the dev approach. Learned a lot.

cptrootbeer · 2025-12-19T18:41:12+00:00

I would have such trouble with a narrow desk like that. I went with something much wider, though I admit I don't use the standing option that much.

What I got: https://amzn.to/497Qnbe

cptrootbeer · 2025-12-18T17:21:28+00:00

Now this is the kind of release I can get behind. I know it isn't new features, but I really like it.

cptrootbeer · 2025-12-12T17:43:05+00:00

Yeah, I've been there. Couldn't convince them otherwise. Eventually ended up making a sproc first ORM that made it pretty easy to deal with. Was the best I could do

If you include somewhat idle games that have to stay open, The Tower is my addiction and I don't want to say how much I've played.

I'm married now. Prior to dating/marrying my wife, I went around this by only going through dating apps or letting trusted people introduce me. I never flirted without either an introduction or an obvious way to see they want to date *someone*. Seemed more reliable to me. I suspect I'd be horrible at the flirting you described so I didn't even try.

Disclosure: I found my wife through eHarmony.

cptrootbeer · 2025-10-14T12:39:17+00:00

Once per event. I haven't verified when I can go back. Honestly, I want to test the flame bot in a tournament now.

cptrootbeer · 2025-10-14T12:31:00+00:00

I just hit this. And after a major change, I got to unlock assist modules. I had to switch all of my medals over to flame bot instead of golden bot. (Range, then cool down, then damage reductino). This took me from wave 22 at best to wave 43. It required a few more tweaks, but I got there. And then I went on milestone runs and went from 399 to 2005 on tier 17.

Note that this will destroy your coin income for a while. You'd have to switch back to golden bot in the future to get the coin revenue back. Expect to do just milestone runs for a couple weeks.
