As of February 1, 2024, I became a maintainer of the TS-Defold project. Thanks to Justin Walsh for having me on the team!

(I have a weird affinity for doing chores like updating dependencies. It’s like cleaning a house; a little tedious, but so rewarding.)

Here’s a quick recap of everything I’ve been up to.

TS-Defold official

• The website is now refreshed with updated info
• I’ve maintained the official templates and template-boom: migrated them to the latest plugins
• I’ve contributed a bucket-load of types to the Library
• Kept hacking away at my fork of Defold types

TypeScriptToLua plugins

• Made simple-const-unroller which was superseded by const-propagation
• Created nullify-function which was superseded by simple-inline-func
• Made remove-debug
• Integrated tstl-trim-extensions and tstl-export-to-global into the TS-Defold templates
• Created tstl-export-rename

Defold plugins

• Updated my PRNG plugin with some new convenience methods
• Created setv by combining elements of two popular plugins
• Started on a refactor of estring
• Archived etable
• Archived emath

Other tools

• Made tsd-ext-type-gen to parse script_api files in Defold extensions to export TypeScript types
• Created def-html5-opt to optimize Defold HTML5 exports
