Making games and physics work with Reason & Reprocessing
summary
Shows that Reprocessing wraps OpenGL/WebGL for cross‑platform 2D, that Reason compiles to JavaScript or native via bsb‑native, and that actual work is concrete not conceptual: an 8‑hour physics engine attempt (failed, later ~50h to fix) exposes floating‑point gotchas and correctness bugs, and a usable Moomin JSX→Reprocessing bridge is built and demoed with reducer‑style components, rendering loops and a spinning rectangle — enough real code and results to judge whether to dig deeper.
