@Angel_Uki @BrainlessFruit @randomusernam30 Glad you enjoyed it! The best I could make at 13 years old

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

New trailer for Golf Frenzy! We have been hard at work on some new courses and cosmetics! Come play:

Started polishing up the UIs in Global Anarchy the last few days. I think it's coming out rather nice. #RoloxDev

Bonus points if you recognize where this map is from.

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

Rapid development with LLMs is almost addicting. In 2 and a half weeks I've created a game engine that could compete with the big leagues.

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

My test map here is a fully destructible voxel terrain that measures 8.2 km² in size. For physics I am using Box3D. This is my own rendering engine ported from Java. The IDE is built from my custom UI library also ported from Java.

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

The terrain tool is very fun to play with. Since it's all voxel based you can easily modify it at runtime and can sculpt all kinds of fun shapes

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

Created a smooth voxel terrain system in my game engine. You can assign up to 255 materials, sculpt any shape, and have any amount of terrain instances!

I need to create a proper plugin system so I don't have to use custom in game UI to control editor behavior

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

I asked claude to take a game I made with Java3D about 10 years ago, and recreate it in my engine.
One prompt. Only a few sentences. 10 minutes.
If you had told me a year ago LLMs could do this I wouldn't have believed it. What a time we're living in.

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

@MrChickenRocket Love to see it

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

I haven't written any of the game-engine visuals yet, it's all backend/Datamodel and the IDE to visualize it.

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

This week I indulged in a small toy project using Grok 4.7 and Opus 5.5. It's a recreation of my Java game engine (Anarchy Engine) but written in C++. It has a similar DataModel design to that of Roblox.
Very cool to see how rapidly you can iterate an idea through the use of an LLM lately.

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

For technical information, this uses a C++ UI library which is a port of my Java UI library JadeFX. Utilizes GLFW and simple GLSL shaders. STB for font rendering. Catch2 for testing. HttpLib for the MCP server. Luau to communicate with the Datamodel

@Airzly Survival shooters are some of the most targeted types of games for cheaters

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

I see discussions here about how Server Authority fundamentally does not work on #roblox.
More often than not I think creators are not giving it a fair shot!
Today we have implemented Server Authority into our game Aftermath. So far, it's coming along great.
#RobloxDev

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

@Airzly Not sure why you’re being so aggressive. Just doing my best ✌️

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

@Airzly Development of these types of things take a long time.

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

@Airzly Server Authority will eliminate the most common exploits that exist, such as speed, fly, and teleport cheats.

[Andrew Hamilton @orange451]

For some technical information...
1) This is a completely custom character system. We don't even use the Roblox provided PlayerModule nor Humanoids.
2) This is a fully networked simulation, live.
3) The game map is huge. 16,000 x 16,000 units. 1,500 streaming radius.
