Hi, I am the developer of "Virtualord, The Virtual Conqueror", an indie Turn Based Strategy game for PC (Windows & Linux).

Today I released a first announcement trailer, let me know if it's something that you would like to try out and I'll be happy to post more soon.

This is the dumbest thing I have seen on the front page of HN in a long time.

If I really wanted to be anonymous on GitHub I'd create a "fake" account/would not use my name.

it won't be about learning C++ as there are already too many, but it will be more about optimization and performance, from low level code to design decisions.

Ideally the target won't be only experts, but also new programmers who want to learn how to write better code.

I will check this campaign out, thanks

As you said publishing is not the problem these days (usually), but writing the book will take months of work and I will also need money to buy hardware and software licenses.

Furthermore a crowdfunding campaign can help measuring interest in the project and should also help building a community before the launch.

it looks like a great platform, even if it seems their userbase is not that big. Is that right?

C++, performance and optimization

no, first one, but I have been (tech) blogging for a while.

I am working on the ToC for now, sample chapter will be next.

a desktop client could offer more features and potentially a better navigation.

That's just my vision though, that's why I am asking if other people would be interested in something like that.

Hi, I am the author of this tutorial and I would like to mention that while working on it I realised that a proper Hacker News reader would be an interesting project to work on and I might decide to go for it if enough people are interested.

Would you use it on your desktop computer (Linux, OS X and/or Windows)?

If yes, which features would you like to see in the first version?
