Not sure if &quot;Python 4.0&quot; is the best comparison.Go is compiled, Python - interpreted.
Go focuses on concurrency, Python on making it easy to do things with code.Many things that are a one-liner in Python (but itself or with a library), in Go take quite a lot of lines or boilerplate. For example, there is no built-in string templates in Go.

Hardly, given that it isn&#x27;t as expressive as Python, that role belongs to Mojo.The only reason so many folks leave Python for Go, is the usual problem of writing C libraries instead of finally having a proper JIT in CPython, and having PyPy being largely ignored by the community.

I feel that it&#x27;s hard to be mad at Go if you look at it as &quot;python 4.0.&quot;

Great effort.Although I tend to be a critic of Go&#x27;s design, I love projects like these, as they make the point not everything needs to be C or C++ for game development.Kudos for the project.

Services could have &quot;location&quot; data attached in their metadata and orchestrator could actually place them on the map. They could have some &quot;personality&quot; traits as well and e.g. to kill a service you could walk up to it and do the deed.

There is also prior art, PSDoom:&gt; The Doom process manager (PSDoom) is a modiﬁcation of the game Doom that displays representations of the processes running on a machine. Rather than using standard text-mode UNIX tools to view and manipulate processes, one surveys and shoots at a room full of bloodthirsty mutants, as shown in Figure 1.&gt; Less than a week after the initial version of the code was written, the project’s website was attracting tens of thousands of visitors per day. Approximately 800 responses were e-mailed to the author or www.slashdot.org within the first two months. Of these responses 27% praised the project, 23% offered suggestions for improving PSDoom, 10% found the project funny, 10% reported technical problems, 8% related PSDoom to science fiction or to the future of interfaces, 1% disliked the project, and 0.6% were frightened by its implications.&quot;Doom as an Interface for Process Management&quot; (2002), <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;publication&#x2F;2522409_Doom_as_an_Interface_for_Process_Management" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;publication&#x2F;2522409_Doom_as_an_...</a>

I&#x27;d love to `kubectl run doom` and kill monsters when I&#x27;m supposed to be working

I&#x27;m amazed at how prolific he is. I&#x27;ve interacted with him a couple of times, and he&#x27;s always super polite and helpful. In spite of the fact that he is also churning through issues&#x2F;code on a number of projects.

I love how ebitengine&#x27;s author jumped in and helped out with optimizations: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;AndreRenaud&#x2F;gore&#x2F;pull&#x2F;48" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;AndreRenaud&#x2F;gore&#x2F;pull&#x2F;48</a>

Yes, that&#x27;s exactly correct. I had intended to break it apart back to the original Doom source layout, but I haven&#x27;t completed that yet. I&#x27;m not 100% sure if that&#x27;s a good idea anyway.

Nah, I suspect it&#x27;s just because it&#x27;s a machine translated port of the original C to Go&gt; The original C code was converted to Go using (modernc.org&#x2F;ccgo&#x2F;v4), by cznic (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;cznic&#x2F;doomgeneric.git" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.com&#x2F;cznic&#x2F;doomgeneric.git</a>). This was then manually cleaned up to remove a lot of manual pointer manipulation, and make things more Go-ish, whilst still maintaining compatibility with the original Doom, and its overall structure.

I must say I&#x27;m really surprised it&#x27;s so small too, for a reasonably complicated game

Just curios, why everything is in a single large file (doom.go ~46K LOC)?
Is it because of how Go handle modules?

Ah yes, I did repost it. The previous time didn&#x27;t get much traction, and I thought enough time had passed that a repost wouldn&#x27;t be problematic. Apologies if I was mistaken.

If I recall the exact same topic has been posted a month back; checked - the exact same text - word by word.

Yes.Ok, if that answer is too short: there are some others (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;avelino&#x2F;awesome-go?tab=readme-ov-file#game-development" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;avelino&#x2F;awesome-go?tab=readme-ov-file#gam...</a>), but ebitengine is by far the most popular...

Say, what gui&#x2F;graphics&#x2F;game-ish libraries are available for Go?The ebitengine that this project mentions?

Tragically, it will not. Most &#x27;modern&#x27; Doom wads use features that weren&#x27;t present in the original release (ie: they need GZDoom, Boom, or one of the other modern engines). This is a port of the original release, so it&#x27;s missing those kinds of features.The idea for this wasn&#x27;t really to make a new fully featured engine for modern wads, it was more for sneaking the Doom engine in to unrelated projects, easter-egg style. I&#x27;ve run this on various embedded systems that I use Go with. One of the demos is a webserver that uses mjpeg streaming for example.

Hi HN,
I’ve been working on Gore – a port of the classic Doom engine written in pure Go, based on a ccgo C-to-Go translation of Doom Generic. It loads original WAD files, uses a software renderer (no SDL or CGO, or Go dependencies outside the standard library). Still has a bit of unsafe code that I&#x27;m trying to get rid of, and various other caveats.In the examples is a terminal-based renderer, which is entertaining, even though it&#x27;s very hard to play with terminal-style input&#x2F;output.The goal is a clean, cross-platform, Go-native take on the Doom engine – fun to hack on, easy to read, and portable.Code and instructions are at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;AndreRenaud&#x2F;Gore" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;AndreRenaud&#x2F;Gore</a>Would love feedback or thoughts.
