Turned my sci-fi roguelike into a more traditional roguelike and open-sourced it. Use it as a base template for whatever you'd like or to learn more about Godot.

So according to my probably-bad math, we could be saving 25% in inference costs if we started writing plain english word-based programming languages. gist.github.com/statico/631e... #LLM #AI

But wait, don't plain words use fewer tokens? How about this instead of TSX 😂

I asked Claude what a low-token LLM-friendly programming language would look like and I already like it better than React/JSX.

The Retro Diffusion extension for Aseprite does pixel art generation with "ethical AI" — the author says "it runs completely locally. All the artwork used for training was either made by me, or was given with consent from other artists."

This is wild. Inspired by www.xda-developers.com/llm-raspberr..., I took the prompt the artist used and fed it into various models with high temperature. gemma3 appears to get frustrated, angry, and then devolved into pure corrupted AI madness with "Final Failure" variations and 💀 emoji.

Cursor and the GitHub MCP server did a great job of addressing an issue. What I didn't expect is for Cursor to use the MCP server to *reply as me on the issue thread* 😱

Inspired by EXO Labs, I did a quick test to see if llama2.c would compile on Metrowerks CodeWarrior for 68k Macintosh. Unfortunately infinitemac.org crashed 🤣

An interesting document is Wikipedia's edit filter for internet brainrot which gets updated if certain meme phrases are overwhelmingly used in vandalism. It started in the yolo/swag era and has evolved to the skibidi/rizz present, regularly dropping memes that are sufficiently stale (like Harambe)

I've now got a functioning power source and module system (e.g. shields) and throwables (e.g. splash potions). This feels pretty good! (Note: this is just a demo arena level for combat testing) #roguelike #gamedev

It's super fun to see disparate systems start to come together. I finished some AoE effects and noticed that — of course — robotic monsters are resistant to poison effects! (VFX still very WIP of course) #roguelike #gamedev

UI is hard! I started with a drag and drop system, but it took up the whole screen. Since equipping items costs a move, you don't want to equip something without realizing a monster hit you. So now I have a tabbed interface. Not happy with it but gotta move on. #roguelike #gamedev
