Welcome, say hello! Heyoh, I’m Josh, I’m a middle school teacher in BC, Canada who worked briefly in game dev before switching careers. Now I dabble and show kids how to code and generally muck about in an ADHD manner. 🙂

A screenshot of the luxe game engine website stating: No Gen "Al" We reject the current version of generative tools for code and art. They are not welcome in our engine, or our community as they are not compatible with our ethics, standards or goals. We focus on human centered creativity and empowerment. (Like this art, by Gabriele Pala)

We’ve updated the @luxeengine.com website to include an additional section about our philosophy and standards!

Generative “AI” is not welcome in our game engine or community, their current incarnation is not compatible with our ethics, standards or goals. We don’t compromise and don’t need to ✨

busy doing one of those fun tasks that involves thousands of lines of code change but if things are ok, nothing changes

I took a minute to polish up a bit, feeling nicer overall. 2/several UI controls converted to new workflow ✨luxe game engine ✨

now that I've flushed out a lot of weirdness, the cpu particle vm for @luxeengine.com is running nicely. this is 1k pink particles, 50k black particles and runs smoothly, no hitches on spawning that many which is good

+ pink took 0.0803 ms
+ black took 7.9005 ms

#createwithluxe #gamedev

bee particles for bee-sky

working on getting the initial particle engine for @luxeengine.com landed has been fun, taking code I wrote years ago and bringing it to something usable. Will make an interesting tech blog or two, cos the tech is neat
