Dug up my ~25 year old Casio graphing calculator yesterday. It still worked (after putting new batteries), and the little games I surreptitiously made during maths class were still on it!

The most exhausting thing about game dev is proudly polishing off a feature (for me at inkle usually that’s UI), and then realising that some subtle issue means you have to rebuild or rework it again. For every bloody feature. Like five times each.

Been working on my own take on iOS 26’s swipe actions, it’s satisfying getting these little interactions working!
SwiftUI only provides the .swipeActions modifier on List views (which I’m not using).

Installed Duolingo on my 5 year old son’s iPad because it has age appropriate arithmetic games.
I’m absolutely FUMING at the shitty malware it turned out to be, targeted at children

Two great storyworlds in one neat package
Jackson & Livingstone pioneered #gamebooks with series like #Sorcery, #FabledLands kicked off the #openworld #gamebook genre, and that in turn inspired the digital adaptation of Sorcery. And now @steampowered.com has both series in a special-offer bundle.

Just got back from @swiftleeds.co.uk, it was fantastic! My first non-game conference, and my first small conference - it had a great, friendly, welcoming vibe. GDC is always fun but it’s also MASSIVE and by comparison impersonal and super commercial.

No idea where he gets these silly juvenile ideas.

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I wish Apple would make it possible to make extensions and add API access for the Notes app.
It would make it possible to create functionality like Math Notes without necessarily needing to make the core Notes functionality any more complicated than it needs to be.

Spatial scenes on iOS 26 are super impressive in general and have been near perfect in my experience. Great fun on a lock screen!
So I was curious to see how it would interpret a full frame photo of a painting. Valiant attempt but not great 😅

This is insanely impressive. Unfortunately the camera and battery are dealbreakers for me, but the Air seems amazing.

Started a new little trailer for Substage ever since adding Homebrew support, since I don't think I've done a good job of just how much it can do now! (markdown, epubs, PDF manipulation, animated gifs and more).
Trailer is very much work in progress, but here are the first few shots!
