Yeah, it has been a blast! I haven't written much c++ in my life and the problem space of games and game engines (mostly graphics) is super new to me, so every day is something totally new. Bridging JS and c++ with CEF for the UI is super interesting and exciting for me as well.

If we were to want to make a real game, though, we'd definitely start with an established engine. this would totally be suicide hahaha
re: CEF and JS interface, it's actually working pretty well IMO. It was a lot of work to integrate the framework, but the alternative (trying to build out any sort of UI that looks nice / is skinnable, behaves nice, and is easy to iterate on in C++) is just an absolute nightmare.

There are a ton of other questions of course (the big one being performance, which I'm actually not super concerned about). Having done the web thing for a couple years now, this was just a cool opportunity to try something new. :D

P.S. Would love to be proven wrong about UI in C++ being horrible to work with when getting into an even remotely complex case. definitely once (twice? thrice?) bitten, twice shy here hahaha
