How would you generate a sound on the fly in JavaScript? I don’t want to rely on oscillators from the audio API because I already have some code doing that with harmonics, modulation, envelope, …

Reworking the Sound Editor of 🧸Tiny

You can see here the instrument editor. Still few things to tweak then I'll work on the SFX Editor because my games alway lake of some sound.

Do you like it, or you might prefer the first version (see below!) ? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🛠️ Remember my previous doddle? A few tweaks later, you can get something completely different. 😍

🌀 Just made this colorful orbiting bloom doodle in a few minutes using my game engine 🧸Tiny!
It uses only shapes for a smooth visual effect.

Code in the thread ⬇️

Got a doodle idea you’d love to see? Drop it in the replies!

Seems to me a win/win/win for Kotlin maintainers and, the echosystem and Jetbrains.
If you’re a Kotlin library maintainer, consider submitting to the Kotlin Foundation Grants program for a chance to get financial and promotional support for your library! 🚀 Deadline is July 31, don’t miss it!

🧸Tiny just took a big step: I made a PoC to package a Tiny game as a **standalone app**! 🖥️✨
It’s starting to work on macOS using jpackage.
Still needs work (icons, full testing), but the goal: 1-click games on all OS! 🪟🐧🍎

🧸Tiny debugger just got smarter!
🧠 You can now add a conditional breakpoints (in Lua!)
💥 Break only when your custom condition is true!
🚧 Still a work in progress, but a big step toward smoother game dev with Tiny

Very happy with how the animation tool for picoCAD 2 is turning out. This somewhat complex scene was fairly quick to put together. Lots of opportunities to improve it, but feels like a good start!

🧸Tiny update!
🔍 Improved dictionary view in the debugger - cleaner, clearer, faster to read
✨ Perfect time to debug your first Tiny game and see what’s under the hood!

True story
If you're using some kind of Jetbrains IDE and you do not know about Local History, then you're missing out.

This feature is a life saver.

Roadmap for 🧸#tiny :
- push more graphics operations into the GPU (for performance and implement rotations)
- direct support for LDtk
- big improvement for the sound design part.
- a debugger!

After, I’ll try to replace OpenGL for desktop to vulkan (and use it for metal for macOS)

Hey #devoxxfr ! On cherche un nom, pour un event pour que les acteurs de l'IT de la région de Caen (Dans le Calvados) échangent entre eux. Un peu comme @devoxx.fr mais avec une touche de Camembert, Teurgoule et de Caramel d'isigny en plus (😋). On sèche sur le nom. Vous auriez des idées ? 😄
