Game Engine Zero: a free Go book where you build Pong, Snake and Breakout before any engine talk

Game Engine Zero is the other book on my shelf, and it's the one I'd hand to someone who has never made a game. The first chapter went into the repo on 2026-08-19. Three volumes are written so far, 24 chapters, 435 pages, over 13 working days and 105 commits. Same method as its sibling book The World, which I wrote about yesterday: I draft with AI assistance, and a tool re-runs every command in the text and checks the output before a chapter ships. Volume 1 is called Three Arcade Games and that'

I built a transport-independent foundation for JSON API clients in Perl

Writing a simple API client is easy. my $response = $http->get($url); Then the client starts being used in production. Suddenly, it needs to handle: query parameters JSON encoding and decoding structured errors retries and Retry-After rate limits pagination authentication request IDs logging and metrics idempotency At that point, what started as a small API wrapper often becomes a collection of infrastructure code. I found myself looking at this problem and asking: How much of this is actually

A 2,800-page free Go book that builds a living simulated world, written in 18 days with AI in the loop

I've been writing a Go book that builds a simulated world from an empty directory, and I want to be upfront about how it came together, because the numbers look strange without the context. The repo started on 2026-05-25 as a shelf of teaching books. The first chapter of The World, the big project book, landed on 2026-08-24. As of yesterday it has ten volumes, 105 chapters, and 2,800 pages, built over 18 working days and 212 commits. That pace is only possible because I draft with AI assistance

How I gave Claude cookie tools a public no-key JSON API

If you use Claude Code, you have probably hit this wall: the browser stores your login as a sessionKey cookie, but Claude Code wants ~/.claude/.credentials.json. Two different files, same login. I built claudecookie.com to bridge the gap. Three tools, one place: Converter — turn Netscape cookies.txt, Cookie-Editor JSON, Puppeteer format, key-value or a raw Cookie header into each other. Runs entirely in your browser; the paste never leaves your device. Check — paste a session cookie and it tells
