Experimenting with CPU topology discovery for my job system, trying to choose smarter pool sizes and pinning.

Idea so far:
– spawn workers only on physical cores across tiers
– leave fastest core unpinned
– don’t pin main thread
– pin workers from 2nd fastest core onward

Any different strategy? 👀

Wet Paper is out!
An enhanced version of our #GGJ2025 game, made in C++ with the open source #nCine framework. The game itself is open source too!

Last Thursday I gave a talk at /dev/games in Rome about my 14-year journey developing nCine, a 2D cross-platform open-source framework.

If you're into solo engine development or open source, here are the slides:

I reached one thousand followers on Bluesky! 🦋

Our game from the Global Game Jam 2025, made with the help of @cominu.bsky.social and the power of the nCine! 💪

Yesterday was just another hard day of #nCine development, but sipping coffee from this special mug can help.

Another nice book for my library. 👌

It seems like trailing commas invalidate JSON files. The LuaLS Addon Manager doesn't like an invalid configuration file and currently the nCine addon cannot be enabled in Visual Studio Code. 😞
I have already opened a Pull Request to fix this issue and I will let you know when it gets merged. 🔧

You can now find the nCine among the Lua Language Server addons on Visual Studio Code. 🥳
With dynamic type checking, autocompletion, and full API documentation, the experience of creating a game in Lua with the nCine should be now immensely better! 💪
