В прошлом году я немного поизучал движок для создания игр Godot — это опенсорсный аналог Unity, который мне посоветовали. И он мне очень понравился, гораздо больше, чем Unity. Он логичный, простой, при этом позволяет делать очень много и гибко. Его создают гики для гиков, а не маркетологи для студий. По сравнению с Unity он объективно выигрывает в легковесности сборок и субъективно выигрывает в понятности и удобстве проектирования. Ну и, конечно, он бесплатный.
Однако, видно, что движок достаточно новый — документация не всегда полна, в самой системе встречаются баги. Впрочем, если вы не боитесь трудностей, или если у вас богатый опыт разработки, для игр настоятельно рекомендую. На днях вышла новая мажорная альфа-версия с кучей интересного.
Поскольку я иногда делаю всякое под платформы с голосовым управлением, то здесь я купил ассеты и попробовал собрать демку — 2D-игру с боем танков в жанре "Артиллерия", по сути это современная копия TankWars аж 1990-го года. Для двух игроков на одном телевизоре или одном СберПортале: ходы по очереди, нужно подстраивать угол и силу выстрела с учётом ветра и позиции противника, чтобы попадать. В таких механиках как раз голосовой ввод оправдан и даже вполне удобен (если смотрели мою лекцию о способах ввода, то поймёте).
Если у вас нет редких устройств от Сбера, то попробовать игру вы не сможете, но можете посмотреть на видео. Там старый вариант, а на скринах уже более новый, с переделанным HUD. В этом году хочу ещё какую-нибудь игру сделать.

During out talks with F-Droid users at FOSDEM26 we were baffled to learn most were relieved that #Google has canceled their plans to lock-down #Android.
Why baffled? Because no such thing actually happened, the plans announced last August are still scheduled to take place. We see a battle of PR campaigns and whomever has the last post out remains in the media memory as the truth, and having journalists just copy/paste Google posts serves no one.
But Google said… Said what? That there’s a magical “advanced flow”? Did you see it? Did anyone experience it? When is it scheduled to be released? Was it part of Android 16 QPR2 in December? Of 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 last week? Of Android 17 Beta 1? No? That’s the issue… As time marches on people were left with the impression that everything was done, fixed, Google “wasn’t evil” after all, this time, yay!
While we all have bad memories of “banners” as the dreaded ad delivery medium of the Internet, after FOSDEM we decided that we have to raise the issue back and have everyone, who cares about Android as an open platform, informed that we are running out of time until Google becomes the gate-keeper of all users devices.
Hence, the website and starting today our clients, with the updates of F-Droid and F-Droid Basic, feature a banner that reminds everyone how little time we have and how to voice their concerns to whatever local authority is able to understand the dangers of this path Android is led to.
We are not alone in our fight, IzzyOnDroid added a banner too, more #FDroid clients will add the warning banner soon and other app downloaders, like Obtainium, already have an in-app warning dialogue.

Super Bowl Ad TRICKING You Into Welcoming Surveillance State!
During the Super Bowl, you may have seen a commercial for #Amazon’s #Ring “Search Party” feature, which uses an emotional lost-dog story to encourage adoption of participation in what amounts to a widespread neighborhood #surveillance net. Jimmy points out that the ad masks #privacy risks tied to AI-driven #cameras, data sharing, and Amazon’s broader surveillance ecosystem, including concerns about opt-out defaults and government access.
He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger expand the discussion into a broader critique of social media and smart devices as tools of self-surveillance, suggesting public safety and convenience are being used to justify constant monitoring. Ultimately, it frames the commercial as emblematic of a growing surveillance state presented as benevolent technology.
