The Game UI Database is a website cataloging user interfaces from nearly 2,000 video games through over 75,000 screenshots, organized by tags to help designers identify recurring UI patterns. Created by UI artist Edd Coates, the site provides visual reference material without extensive context, allowing designers to study successful interface approaches across titles. Coates is also working on a companion book called The Game UI Bible, scheduled for release in the first half of 2027.
A developer advocates for interactive parameter controls ('knobs') in LLM-assisted programming instead of static code implementations. They want real-time variable adjustment without reprompting, faster iteration cycles, and alternatives to the chat-based prompt-response workflow.
A developer shares lessons learned from porting PHP's DOM extension, discovering that declaring interfaces without fully implementing them creates hidden obligations that only surface when user code subclasses the implementation. The post emphasizes testing both sides of abstractions and maintaining accurate documentation of limitations, as nine of fourteen documented "known limitations" were found to be incorrect or outdated.
