Helping a 6 year old build a 3D game using Enu and Nim
<p><a href="https://github.com/dsrw/enu">Enu</a> is a 3D live coding environment that can be used for education, exploration, and light game development. It uses a simple, logo-style Nim DSL, and aims to be accessible to as many people as possible, even those who may not yet be able to read or type. It's still fairly immature, but will eventually be suitable for implementing simple multiplayer 3D games.</p>
<p>In this presentation, Enu's creator will walk through creating a simple 3D game with his 6 year old son using Enu 0.2.</p>

<p>This is a talk about Nim's concurrency mechanisms, how the old things worked, how the current things work and what the future holds.</p>

<p>This talk builds on my previous talks about micro-controller programming in Nim, and my talk on writing a keyboard firmware from scratch in Nim. It outlines how a Nim ecosystem for microcontrollers can be built with zero-cost abstractions which means that the resulting code is almost exactly the same size as pure C code (no Arduino). All this while keeping an interface which is much nicer than anything you'd find in C, maybe even better than that of high-level microprocessor coding frameworks ...

<p>I'd like to showcase LibVF.IO's new LIME Runtime feature (Lime Is Mediated Emulation) and do a deep dive on open source vGPU technology in general.</p>

<p>The entity-component-system pattern (ECS) is popular in game development for its ability to model complex dynamic simulations with mechanical sympathy, in an environment where microseconds matter.</p> <p>The pattern is focused on run time composition. Entities are mutable sets of component data types, and systems run for entities with specific sets of components. Many ECS frameworks are oriented around components or entities, and systems use run time queries or filters to match their ...

<p>Reactive programming has become commonplace in many kinds of software, while others, including games, have been slow to adopt it. There is an idea stretching back to the 70s that enables reactive programming in an extremely general way: rules engines. This talk will demonstrate pararules, a breakthrough rules engine for Nim. It will demonstrate how games and other software can define their entire logic as a series of independent rules, and how it decouples your data much like (but more ...

<p>Numpy is considered the go-to library for fast performant python scientifc computing, as it is a heavily optimized scientific computing library written in C. But is it really that fast (spoiler: yes, but not when used with python)? In this talk, I will be covering a real-world example in the domain of genetics, and demonstrating how I was able to out-perform numpy code running on my intel-7700k machine with a raspberry pi running code from the Nim programming language!</p> <p>I will also be ...

<p>Metaprogramming in Nim is very powerful. But why would you use it? How is it used in the real world? We will explore the "power levels": starting from generics, continuing to templates and finally arriving at macros.</p> <p>We will first look at generics usage in VMath (Vector Math Library) and Jsony (JSON Parsing Library). Then we will continue on to templates and how they are used in VMath and Windy. Finally we will look macros, the top of the "power levels", and how they are used in Shady ...
