"Lightweight" and "small" isn't the same as simple. People seriously gotta stop recommending godot to beginners. It's good as a general engine, but a lot to take in for a beginner.

Pygame is a great choice. I would add Love2D as a similar alternative if you don't jive with Python.

Off topic but Godot has a serious cult problem. Say anything that could possibly be interpreted as negative about it, and you're going to get someone writing a very emotional response. It's pretty much at the Apple fan boy level, which is bad but mostly weird.

Tbh the threat of being labeled a gooner might do more to prevent misogyny than anything else

Why so negative? I'm too lazy to read the article, but are you commenting on actual lesson plans, or on what you assume the classes will be like? It doesn't seem like a stretch to me that this could work for some kids, especially for those whose behavior is the result of exposure to porn at too young an age.

All of the inadequacies and personal failures that prevented you from doing what GenAI does for you now are still there. Those things are why you were a failure before AI, and why you will be a failure after AI. The quicker you recognize that, the less time you'll spend being an obnoxious asshole and making a fool of yourself by larping as the artist you've always fantisized of being. You were nothing before, you are nothing now. Get over yourself, otherwise you will continue to be nothing until the day you die. Once you truly understand this, maybe you'll be able to fix it. Not before.

VS Codium uses open vsx, which is the extension registry built and run by the Eclipse team. Whatever extensions you're using will also work on Theia.

That's just AI marketing bandwagon crap, probably fishing for funding. The editor has been around for a few years, and it had nothing to do with AI until very recently.

Nit picking: why use VSCodium? It's better to use Eclipse Theia instead, which is built from scratch and runs its own extension repository.

...and for the old timers: NO! Eclipse Theia is NOT the Eclipse you're thinking of

I'm curious how you ended up on CentOS, especially for a desktop/laptop? That distro effectively died when IBM bought Red Hat, but even before that it was afaik mostly used for server deployments due to RHEL compatibility.

I'm a full time senior dev using the shit out of LLM’s, to get things done at a neck breaking speed

I'm not saying you're full of crap, but I smell a lot of crap. Who talks like this unironically? This is like hearing someone call somebody else a "rockstar" or "ninja".

If you really are breaking necks with how fast you're coding, surely you must have used this newfound ability to finally work on those side projects everyone has been meaning to work. Those wouldn't be covered under NDA.

Edit: just to be clear, I'm not anti-LLMs. I've used them myself in a few different forms, and although I didn't find them useful for my work, I can see how they could be helpful for certain types of work. I definitely don't see them replacing human engineers.
