the slopware cometh
What is Vibe Coding? “Vibe Coding” is a very, very recent term that was coined by Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI. He defines it as: which means that you tell an LLM roughly what to write, and the LLM then takes the prompt and barfs out a load of code which you just then paste… Continue reading the slopware cometh

(All code for this tutorial can be found here: https://github.com/gwowen/breakout-tutorial-rust) So after last time we have our bat moving around, our ball bouncing around the window, and a wall of bricks drawn, but there’s something missing – they don’t interact, and that’s really not very interesting!

The world of gamedev tutorials and Java is a hazardous one. The internet is full of outdated, broken tutorials that use long-abandoned bindings to OpenGL, engines that use out of date libraries, shit “personal toolkits” that work fine for a particular developer but no-one else and all other kinds of nonsense.
