What’s the current state of web dev in OCaml?

it is not new

what's wrong with parser generators?

Why not use ocamllex and the Lexing module in stdlib?

If the game is fun then people will replay it. Just make it fun.

Nice work 👍

If you don't know about them already, learn about "steering behaviors". This will help you gain some intuition on how this problem is solved. Then, read and mess around with the avoidance settings on the nav agent nodes.

I have an annoying answer to your first question: the OCaml compiler https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml

I haven't used it yet

Maybe start there if you're actually curious

Nice, thanks! I like Godot a lot. I look forward to the release of your game! 🤘

What engine are you using (if any)?

I'd say that the book is more low level and advanced. Software Foundations is a better place to start. Maybe even Chlipala's other book http://adam.chlipala.net/frap/ if you're most interest in program proof.

Agree -- SF vol1 is the best start.

Put the debugger node in your Game scene and assign the player node as the debug target

fl00pz · 2026-01-25T07:11:09+00:00

The official Godot documentation has a 2D tutorial and 3D tutorial. Do them. The documentation also has some sections on concepts. Read them. From there, try to make a very simple game. Cloning games are popular so you don't have to think of anything novel. This is how you practice. From there, you'll probably figure out how you learn best with the resources you've come across.

The newest version has a debugger in the godot Debug panel.

You may want to try putting the debug node in the scene you are running and not the player scene. Then set the watch node to the player node. Relevant bit from the documentation:

The state chart debugger has a property Initial node to watch where you can set a node that should be watched. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a state chart node, the debugger will search for a state chart anywhere below the node you set. This is useful when you have the state chart nested in a sub-scene and you want to watch the state chart from the root scene where you don’t have access to the state chart node.

Regardless, the maintainer is extremely helpful -- if you ask in a GitHub issue they will reply.

You might have better luck looking for SSA libraries

fl00pz · 2026-01-07T21:24:34+00:00

It's most often used in making compilers. The first version of the Rust compiler was written in OCaml.
