CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

WARNING: Article moved to separate repo to allow users contributions: https://github.com/raysan5/custom_game_engines

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like [Unreal](https:

JavaScript File Format Differences

There's the pervarsive notion that all JS is created equal and that there's only minor and easily detectable differences between the various file formats used to author JavaScript. This is correct, from a certain point of view.

For many people writing JavaScript that gets passed into build tools,

Hacker sa Switch facilement avec Atmosphère, Kosmos, Hekate & PegaScape

Vous voyez une multitude de tutoriels mais vous ne savez pas comment vous y prendre, quoi choisir etc. Ce tutoriel vous montrera les bonnes pratiques et l'utilisation d'outils faciles.

Est-ce que je peux hacker ma Nintendo Switch ?

Il existe plusieurs exploits ou failles sur la Nintendo Switch.

Cas 1: J'ai une Switch non patchée

Tutoriel - Comprendre et utiliser le CFW Atmosphère sur Nintendo Switch (+bonus)

Atmosphère est un CFW (Custom FirmWare - Logiciel modifié) opensource avec un développement très active. Son nom n'a pas été choisi par hazard, effet les developpeurs ont découpés le code en plusieurs couches (comme celle de l'atmosphère), vous n'allez pas tout comprendre mais vous allez pouvoir retenir les quelques features les plus importantes pour une utilisation lambda.

Les couches d'Atmosphère

Fusée - le custom bootloader, c'est la première couche lors de l'amorçage du CFW, elle permet le chargement des fichiers KIPs, le chargement d'un kernel personalisé... La configuration de ce composant se situe dans le fichier atmosphere/BCT.ini
Exosphère - le custom secure monitor, c'est une réplimentation complète de la TrustZone du firmware de la Switch, permettant la récuperation d'une multitude d'informations pour les Homebrews par exemple.
