Chad Stearns (Sep 18 2021 at 20:03): Chad Stearns (Sep 18 2021 at 20:03):I've been thinking about making a video game. Is Roc ready for that kind of project?
Chad Stearns (Sep 18 2021 at 20:03):I am out of touch with the state of things regarding actually using Roc.
Folkert de Vries (Sep 18 2021 at 20:16):video as in "with graphics"
Folkert de Vries (Sep 18 2021 at 20:16):seems a bit early to me, really depends on how much of it you want to be in roc
Chad Stearns (Sep 18 2021 at 20:18):I guess there isnt any kind of GUI package as of right now right? So I would have to make a platform for doing GUIs in Roc?
Chad Stearns (Sep 18 2021 at 20:18):I am less turned off by having to do low level stuff like that than I am questions of if these things are even possible right now.
Folkert de Vries (Sep 18 2021 at 20:18):exactly
Folkert de Vries (Sep 18 2021 at 20:19):well another inconvenient thing right now is that we can really only expose concrete types
Folkert de Vries (Sep 18 2021 at 20:19):in this case, the Model or State
Folkert de Vries (Sep 18 2021 at 20:20):so changes to the definition of Model in roc would likely require changes on the platform side
Richard Feldman (Sep 18 2021 at 23:37):but you could hack around that for nwo
Richard Feldman (Sep 18 2021 at 23:37):*now
Richard Feldman (Sep 18 2021 at 23:38):by hardcoding your one application's model into the platform, then make it nicer once we support that in the future :big_smile:
Richard Feldman (Sep 18 2021 at 23:38):I'm pretty busy the next two weeks but in general I'd be happy to help you get that off the ground @Chad Stearns!
Chad Stearns (Sep 19 2021 at 20:42):That sounds great @Richard Feldman ! I'll sync up with you in a few weeks then.
