CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

WARNING: Article moved to separate repo to allow users contributions: https://github.com/raysan5/custom_game_engines

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like [Unreal](https:

Installing BasicTeX

This is a barebones setup to using TeX with matplotlib. Since the whole MacTeX package is ~4GB, and includes a lot of unnecessary binaries, it is better to install BasicTeX and install the packages as you seem fit.

The easiest way to install is by running brew cask install basictex and run which pdflatex to check whether it is installed. This should return a path with the location of the filepath. If it doesn't, then check if the /Library/TeX folder exists.

Finally, add the following to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile filepath: export PATH="/Library/TeX/texbin/:$PATH"

Logic composability problems of lifecycle hooks in React

Suppose I have these components in my project:

class MessageHeader extends React.Component { /* ... */ }

class NiceButton extends React.Component { /* ... */ }

class FridgeContents extends React.Component { /* ... */ }

	# Put this function to your .bashrc file.
	# Usage: mv oldfilename
	# If you call mv without the second parameter it will prompt you to edit the filename on command line.
	# Original mv is called when it's called with more than one argument.
	# It's useful when you want to change just a few letters in a long name.

	# - imv from renameutils
