Worth noting that this game was written as part of a game jam and was already amazing even just a few days into development. https://itch.io/jam/gdl---metal-monstrosity-jam/rate/140169

Requisite downvote, but also mention that the devs of Tin Can are about to start alpha testing of their multiplayer sequel named Space Chaos.

It’s a Block Pushing Game is a sokobanlike from the creator of Baba Is You. It’s relatively short but has multiple novel mechanics. I enjoyed it enough to create a curses client for it.

PS: If you like Baba Is You, Hempuli publishes multiple new games per month, mostly clever sokoban-likes, at https://hempuli.itch.io/

humble games is a game publisher, only connected to humble bundle through corporate ownership. most games in humble bundles aren’t published by humble games, and most games published by humble games don’t end up in humble bundles

There are a few results, but not the one I’m looking for, and none like it.

I have considered that approach. I’d probably do it in the cloud, in parallel, maybe even in a serverless compute environment. But it does seem like a big endeavor.

Any chance you’d be willing to share those results? The site isn’t accepting signups any more.

Most people who “self host” things are still doing it on a server somewhere outside their home. Could be a VPS, a cloud instance, colocated bare metal, …

I used Mattermost for a community project, but had trouble getting people to install/use/learn yet another client.

No, it can’t. The compiler can’t do anything with content from any file not explicitly passed to it. You’re mixing up the compiler and the linker (and the linker has nothing to do with either language, it can link binaries compiled from any language).

The unnamed language that is compiled by cc.

To elaborate… C[++] is really two different languages, with mostly distinct feature sets, handled in most cases by different compilers, interpreters, parsers, etc.

The unnamed language with keywords like #ifdef and #include which produces text output is a templating system that is functionally independent of the unnamed language with keywords like for and unsigned which actually compiles to a binary.

You can use cpp to run all the logic and conditionals in that first language to produce output, even if you replace the second language with something else like python or assembly.

You can use cc to compile that second language from source to binary, without support from the preprocessor.

That second language, the one that cc understands and compiles, does not have the ability to import functions or values or whatever from other files.

Nah, you’d just get a preprocessor like C/C++ to do #include for you prior to compiling.
