After a year off for personal stuff, it appears vala is getting more traction lateley, there has been a lot of work done on it in the past year, no more languish in gnome.

fixed:

finished removing immediate mode opengl
compiles on Linux (need to verify windows is still working)

Using vala version 42.5 & glib 2.56 on Chromebook: Y Linux Desktop Y Linux Emscripten => https://darkoverlordofdata.com/valagame/ ? Windows Desktop... ? Windows Emscripten...

warning

No longer compiles with gcc. It used to... The code it fails on is generated by vala.

This is why I hate software that starts with the letter 'G'.
