Have you tried Rive? It seems to have a lot of potential for game development.

It's a UI authoring toolkit, you could do entire games in it I suppose, but you'd be fighting against it, rather than being helped by it.

Better to go the route of doing Spine2D animations then leverage a real game engine like Godot or Unity and load the animations there.

But then you're essentially back to "traditional game development" which is very different from what you could do with Macromedia's Flash back in the day.

I think this was also true of doing game development in Flash. Some people here might be looking back at Flash with rose-tinted nostalgia glasses.


I came here thinking the same. To me, it looks like Rive is the closest tool with the highest potential to be a Flash replacement.

I have tried just now and it didn't work at all. I can select brushes and colors, but nothing gets applied on that white canvas! Using chrome on Macos.

When, Europe, when????? Sick and tired of these switches...

Isn't a basic soufflé gonna fall somewhere in the dark breakfast territory?

There's something wrong on Chrome + MacOS Tahoe, the bottom text in the intro is getting cut off.


Same with FF on Tahoe.

Also the audio is clicking hard, had to mute it.


OP is talking about the third example image, where there are these "stars" icons in the title row of the table. It does look like what people are using to mean AI-something, but indeed.. AI what?


What is the first image supposed to demonstrate? Very confusing post to me.

Other people in the thread I see are arguing the OP is saying the icons next to text would be better off as just text without icons, the icons still make things messy and increase cognitive load. (which again, I think is worth considering at least, sure!) But you don't think it is?

I think I'm just going to put this away concluding it's a very unsuccesful article at whatever it's trying to do.


It doesn't matter if the icon is ever so slightly ambigious compared to other systems, the label text next to it removes any ambiguity and makes the message perfectly clear, as long as it is consistent within a product. To any newcomer to a new system, most icons don't make sense, so the text next to it is an invaluable hidden tutorial. OP didn't stop to see that the circled checkmarks look like clocks, so it just highly opinionated.


I like the game of thrones conversion.


Funny that I selected some subjects such as art, technology and human sexuality, and after a bit of scrolling, I get an article on Technosexuality. TIL.


That's brilliant. I have an injury for a while now, and I change my routine on the fly at the gym, depending on whether I still feel pain or not. Much better if I change it before the next time I go, so I don't waste time figuring out what to replace.


I did this planning with Gemini and track in Google Sheets (really stinks for mobile)

Cardio goals, current FTP, days to train, injuries to avoid

3 lift day programs with tracking 8w progressive Loop my PT into warm ups

Alternate suggestions.

Use whole sheet to get an overview of how the last 8w went and then change things up
