...With Macroquad, you don’t need to worry about low-level graphics plumbing: it handles window and input management, rendering, UI, and more, letting you focus on game logic. A strength of Macroquad is its cross-platform reach: it supports desktop (Windows, Linux, macOS), web (via WebAssembly / HTML5), and mobile (Android, iOS) without requiring platform-specific code. Compilation is relatively fast with minimal dependencies, so small projects or prototypes can spin up quickly. Because it’s “batteries included” for common tasks (rendering, drawing shapes, text, basic UI, game loop), Macroquad works well for rapid prototyping.

This is an exercise in some advance programming topics using a text adventure as the central result. This originally began as a project to recreate an old BASIC text adventure, on the ZX Spectrum, using Z80. After developing a very simple byte code VM to handle the game interactions, I realised that there was an opportunity to use some more advance techniques, which in turn can lead to some PC based tools.

Ambient is an open-source, cross-platform runtime and engine for building and deploying high-performance multiplayer games and 3D applications, using a modern stack built on Rust, WebAssembly (WASM), and WebGPU. It aims to make multiplayer game development accessible and flexible, providing an entity-component-system (ECS) at its core that doubles as a real-time in-game database; everything in the game — from world objects to runtime data — is represented as entities + components, which can...
