Game design and gameplay is part of the source. All the balancing etc. to make it a fun experience. Most of the numbers don’t show up in the UI, so they’d either have reverse engineer it or reconstruct it somehow through months of game testing.

Yeah in theory people could buy your GPL/AGPL app from you, but they could also get it legally for free from anybody else who has bought it. Guess which way will dominate.

Depends on your point of view. Legally it definitely is, because the LGPL stipulates that nobody is allowed to attach any restrictions on to the code above the things the LGPL restricts itself. This makes it impossible to combine with the App Store, because that store adds additional restrictions.

I can tell you that I wouldn’t invest my time in developing a game if there’s no chance of selling it in the first place due to the license requirements of a third party package.

The LGPL is inherently incompatible with anything on Apple’s App Store, so if there’s a chance that I might want to publish it there I can’t touch anything-GPL.

I’ve looked into this. For proper integration (e.g. not as a hack with platform views that require a ton of overhead and multiple separate rendering contexts) I’d need access to the native rendering API in Godot, and the engine doesn’t expose it in any way that I could find.

Most styled text editors bind this to bold/unbold text.

Why do you have a system-wide shortcut on something as basic as ctrl-b in the first place?

This is very exciting. Unfortunately, AMD card won’t be able to benefit from this, making the GPU market ever more fragmented.

In my case, it was a hackerspace. It has windows to the street, so if the police would have happened to go along the street and see that, they could have intervened.

There was one report in the newspapers where they fined a small card playing organization due to that, but of course they were a group of people.

In my country, there was a mask mandate in all enclosed areas except private residences, even when you were the only person there.

This might be very specific to the US. Here in Europe, SUVs aren’t nearly as prevalent, and trucks don’t drive on the same roads as cyclists do. In my experience, when I’m going 30km/h, I’m no longer a roadblock for cars.

However, bike paths aren’t designed for the kinds of speeds you’d get with that thing. I’m driving an e-bike, and I have to brake to a near standstill whenever I get to a bend in a bike path, because for some reason the planners think that bikes can turn on a dime. Also, in my city we have a lot of mixed bike/pedestrian paths, and pedestrians don’t appreciate it when you drive by with 30km/h within a few centimeters. I’ve also had people who froze like a deer in headlights when I approached.

There are a few YouTube videos out there where science communicators (one of them is Kyle Hill) do a few basic calculations on these projects and conclude that it’s impossible.

For example, the mirrors would need to be a swarm of satellites that are launched by hundreds of rockets every day for decades with no pauses.
