translation: you don't know. no knowledge, lots of opinion. that's my beef with you.Literally anything else. Well, if there is anything else, which is honestly it's own problem with the HTML5 ecosystem.
the only json files game comes with are manifests. their purpose is ease of generation and parsing, while remaining human-readable (they even have it indented, which is not a default behavior). json does the job.
you also incorrectly identified them as databases. they aren't. they aren't even used by the game, only the launcher.
then why mention "notoriously insecure" as a point? being a flash app doesn't make it inherently unsafe or exploitable. from user stand point, a standalone .exe has far more access to the system than a web plugin. from dev stand point, flash being "insecure" is irrelevant, because the game doesn't interact with any external web content where it could be problematic. it's a dumb point to bring as a criticism in favor of switching.Of course not. No ecosystem is truly safe from malware. I never even tried suggesting such an insane thing.
confidently wrong again, despite evidently never working with lua or js on any deep level.Second...because those languages were actually designed to handle this kind of thing? Sure, JS certainly can run all the logic for a game, but it sure as hell wasn't designed to. A lot of that has to do with how Node runs, but Node is basically JS now so that seems like a bit of a moot point. Everything JS runs on Node, without exception, yes even considering that other runtimes exist.
tits is and always was a browser game. the goal was to keep it that way. it's not tied to electron, node, chromium, or even v8. you can run it in firefox. with enough shims - probably even ie will work. as a browser game, using any script but js would still be using js, but now as a translation layer. you have fundamentally misunderstood what the devs were going for.
... yeah, just add C to the list of things you don't know about and shouldn't be advising people on.for languages literally written in some variation of C, which is most of them, that's only a problem if you rely too heavily on OS-specific API calls to do things. Everything can run C...it's literally the programming languge of programming languages, I don't know what doesn't trace its origin back to C.
actually i'm an optimist. realistically, it'll take you years. but here's hoping.Such negativity... But thanks anyways. I'm sure the scale of a small book (Well, a novel perhaps, we'll see) will somehow scare me soon enough.
