I enjoy probabilistic inference and modeling and gamedev. Currently working in the industry. Used to work on TensorFlow Probability.

I also maintain the Allegro game library.

My homepage: https://siegelord.net
Allegro 5.2.11 is released!

Some highlighted features include a new joystick (gamepad) system (based on the community SDL controller database) as well as initial support for OpenGL 3+ on MacOS.

Cleaned the prototypes for my Crash Bandicoot 2 themed gauges I made a few years back. The top are the gauge housing, derived from the warp room doors (they're suns with open mouths). The bottom are the decorative faces common to the first two Crash games.

The LED on the reverse side of the perfboard looks very nice.

Did you know that you can run www.byobu.org on MSYS2 on Windows without too much trouble? It's not advertised anywhere, but the only changes I had to make was to disable the usage of the "route" command, which doesn't exist on MSYS2.

Anyone make seitan Russian kotleti? Would you make seitan first, crumble it and then follow the a usual meat-based recipe with a substitution, or would you mix in the non-meat ingredients with the dough and steam + fry? Any tips?

Continuing our drive to rate the classics, here are two maximally LA-coded suburban DAGs from Judea Pearl. There's thirsty lawns and sprinklers, burglars and earthquakes, and neighbors who call you if your alarm goes off.

9/10 because there's no mention of the traffic.

A better view of the patterns and the underside before I mounted it.

Made a infinite mirror for a glass dinner table. It uses a broken down Hyperspace HyperCube mirrors/LED strips/controller + a 3D printed/painted housing of my own design. Powered by 2 18650 lithium cells. It is mounted under the table. I think it came out pretty well!

Another cool game for it was made by Mark Oates, Cygnus Atratus: tins.amarillion.org/entry/328/

It is a nice atmospheric adventure game.

Here's the game I made last year for it, BladeBlade 2: siegelord.itch.io/bladeblade2 , a Path of Exile inspired ARPG.

The wishes for it were:

- Platform game, where you go from the bottom to the top of a giant Christmas tree
- Parallax effect
- Evil Christmas Elves
BladeBlade 2 by SiegeLord
A platformer ARPG where you destroy elves using your Blade Blade.

In less than a month I'll be doing a secret-santa game jam, KrampusHack! You make 3 wishes and a random participant is assigned to make a game for you. The jam is very small, so it's feasible to play everyone's games. It runs from Dec 1 to Dec 25. Join us at tins.amarillion.org!

Miranda is by far my favorite. I like how compact it is, and the many interesting details.

I love the design of this pyramid. The score for the movie is pretty great too.

My balance controller seems to be messed up, but at least the moves are good.

I hate supporting #MacOS. I was debugging why my gamepad was not working. Turns out, it was returning axes in the wrong order (see last three):

kHIDUsage_GD_X
kHIDUsage_GD_Y
kHIDUsage_GD_Z
kHIDUsage_GD_Rz
kHIDUsage_GD_Rx
kHIDUsage_GD_Ry

Why do I need to mess with HID to use a controller?

Did you know that small cameras have a dedicated filter to block out IR? I removed the lens from a cheap webcam I use for my robot to be able to measure the sensor, so I could buy a better lens. The reflecting red square is that filter, and it can be easily removed.

What is a #3dprinter for? Making crappy versions of everyday consumer products! (I forgot to add any allowance for grip)
