Maintenance, sure, but also: games have one chance to be good, and that is at release. With a multi-year development cycle, what we get at release (of the good ones) is like a version 4 or 5 of an app. Everything is connected and changed (and thus maintained) over the years.

Apps usually have tons of boilerplate, so pure LoC may be similar. But in density, no contest. I recently dug up an old objc app of mine and was shocked how few lines it took to send a REST request, parse and process it. Nowadays it is split into multiple files, usecases, repositories, protocols to accomplish the same. All in the name of testability or architectural “correctness”. Write that in a game and you’re fired because it kills performance.

You own the license. The license can be revoked. Don’t look for ways to prove them wrong. Just don’t buy it.

I misread the title as GPTA-6, wondering what sort of crazy crossover was happening.

Learning this the hard way as I add gamepad support for my touch-based game. All UI elements need to be interlinked, spatially!

It's clear that Apple won. They will get their money, one way or another, but mostly the old way, because they managed to make the new way so unattractive. Good job EU!

Not even a thermostat to on-off automatically and reach a preset temperature?

Some ACs are on-off only, with no other setting. Like some people, apparently.

I honestly hope they put an unrealistic amount of wilhelm scream into the learning process, just for fun.

Slightly offtopic but where are we on Quake 1 timedemo with current hardware? Is it sub-second on modern machines?

Indeed! And the content updates were done using a built-in subversion client! Quite innovative.

Not on iOS unless you also pay annual membership to put it on the AppStore OR rebuild & reinstall the personal-account build every 30 or so days.

Reinventing the web, one service at a time. Is it really that hard to build things like this on a per-case base, small scale, all on a bare bones VPS? Do we need a global gateway to help us not screw up the basics? Service looks nice but makes me sad somehow.
