hotwire(turbo+stimulus.js)

used it with a java (spring) backend and with a python(flask) backend to get rid of some page reloads and an easy way to display information based on something happening in the backend via server sent events. did not need to do much more than wrap parts of the existing html templates in <turbo-frame>-elements and the client code to handle server sent events was pretty small to. fun experience, especially because most of my code stayed in languages, iam way more comfortable with than javascript.

htmx would have worked simmiliar, but i had prior experience with turbo, so i used that.

https://emudeck.github.io/ makes setting up a lot of emulators pretty easy on the deck.

i’ve played mario sunshine and the metroid prime games on it, so i’d think most of the wii and gamecube games wont be a problem.

hell, people are playing switch and some ps3 games on it so i everything from before the gamecubes generation will probably be fine, unless the emulators for a system are not in a great state in general.

The Flashpoint Launcher (FPL) is a desktop application made for browsing, storing and launching other applications (games, animations, web apps etc.). It is specifically made for Flashpoint Archive, a non-profit with the goal of furthering archival and accessibility efforts for games, animations and other digital interactive experiences on the web.

Flashpoint Archive seems to be a collection of mostly flash media content (think games on newgrounds or kongregate in the 2000s up to the death of flash)

for any one else wondering what this is.

I’ll have to take a look if i cand find that zombie wave defense game i used to play during compsci classes or the one about shooting a hamster into space.

multiple other objects might be holding a reference to the object you want to change, so you’d either have to recreate those too or mutate them to let them point to the new object.

however if you can do what you want to do in a side effect free way i suggest doing that, as it is indeed easier to reason about what happens this way.
