Making A Video Game With The Jai Programming Langauge

I can answer questions about working with jai if any of y'all want, or we can just talk low level game dev. Whatever floats your boat.

Wow, I wish I'd clicked on this sooner! Like, maybe you're trying too hard, but weirdly it felt heartfelt despite that. Like a wackier Tsoding. Hope you get the attentiondorphins you crave and good luck with your gamedev!

jai has been "coming soon" for so long at this point that its almost part of the charm. the language ideas are interesting tho and watching someone build an actual game with it instead of just hello world demos is refreshing

No content written mostly by an LLM. If you don't want to write it, we don't want to read it.

Ugh finally someone admits that a helmet that shines light in your eyes is a terrible idea.

Jai is the only language that has really got me properly excited in a long time. I cannot wait for the initial compiler release!

Same, I wonder how many of us are just sitting here waiting for the compiler release. Apparently the plan is to release it after the release of his new game.

100% agree. The part at 9:59 where I show the dev gui, the way it works is 100% enabled by the language. It actually recursively dives into the entity type at runtime thanks to all of the built-in runtime reflection. And that's really just one aspect.
