Creating 2d games with golang and gontuz/prototype

Golang was created as server language. But with the time and curiosity of people, golang has covered GUI application and game development as well.

I am sharing here one of the available golang library, on top of which you can create 2d games. Its gonutz/prototype.





Sample video





Gonutz/prototype is very small and easy to learn library. It's cross-platform, that means the game your are creating in one platform will be able to run on other platforms without any change in code ( in normal case ). 

This package currently supports windows , mac and linux.

gonutz/prototype features
  • Support for keyboard input
  • Support for mouse input
  • Support for 2d drawing
  • Support for image and sprite-sheets
  • Support for sound 


Want to learn more about this package.

Sciter : GUI Application with Golang using HTML/CSS

Update : 25-12-2019

This is the words from Sciter's Web site,


Sciter brings a stack of web technologies to desktop UI development. Web designers and developers can reuse their experience and expertise in creating modern looking desktop applications. Various GUI frameworks offer different UI declaration and styling languages, such as QML and XAML (Microsoft WPF). On the contrary, Sciter allows using time proven, robust, and flexible HTML and CSS for GUI definition and GPU accelerated rendering.
Before using sciter I already tried other alternatives but none of them was satisfactory as an example first i tried andlabs/ui libraryi already have written a post on it. You can read it on post gui programming with golang.  But this library is still under construction and has no support for production apps.
Secondly, I go for electron but the problem was my simple calc like the app was of size 150mb. Which is 15mb of go and other was the electron. 
Before some time I found another alternative, s…

setup hyperledger fabric on windows 10

What is the Hyperledger fabric? Hyperledger Fabric is a business blockchain framework hosted by the Linux Foundation intended as a foundation for developing blockchain applications or solutions with a modular architecture. Hyperledger Fabric allows components such as consensus and membership services to be plug-and-play. ( From Google Search Result )
Though documents say that hyper ledger fabric works on the windows, I can't find it running in well. I tried hard to run it but failed. But I found another way to run the hyper ledger on windows with Linux subsystem which has been officially available in windows 10.


(Video Guide )
Requirementwindows 10 Pro
Docker CE
PowerShell
Nodejs
Go 1.9

Basic Setup ( Step - 1 ) The first step to set up the hyperedge fabric on windows is to enable the Linux subsystem 1. Enable the Linux subsystem on your windows

Apache : setup basic auth with apache in windows
