People making games on Defold engine

. Is it possible with
.Net and Silk
? I mean
, such small apk size
.

1/13/23, 7:15 PM
it is technically possible but you
'd throw out everything that
's nice about this ecosystem in the process

mono is to blame for a lot of the size
P
Perksey
•
1/13/23, 7:15 PM
as the actual silk bit
(SDL
, silk assemblies
) is pretty tiny by comparison

1/13/23, 7:32 PM

Furball

1/13/23, 7:32 PM

_64 and arm64

1/13/23, 7:32 PM

1/13/23, 7:33 PM

1/13/23, 7:33 PM

its the definition of malicious compliance

1/13/23, 7:36 PM
the unix subsystem was only made to milk money from government stuff cuz they needed to comply with a unix spec to be considered
F
Furball
•
1/13/23, 7:36 PM
and well
.

. that spec wasnt exactly well written
P

1/13/23, 7:37 PM
government specs are never well written

'm happy with new Linux subsystem on Windows
, web devs life became easier
. Can run aps in Linux containers
, almost without problems
, only drawback is high memory consumption

the POSIX subsystem for windows wasn
't like WSL or WSL2
, it
's an NT personality
L
Lyris the Kitori

1/13/23, 8:11 PM
as the NT kernel can expose multiple different
"personalities
"
, one being the Windows subsystem for Windows
(also known as the Win32 API
)

1/13/23, 8:12 PM
although WSL2 is basically just a VM at this point
