It appears that I'm getting a little too ambitious for my Java projects. Initially, I wanted my project, Relaxian, to be a Pac-Man maze editor, but it's beyond my scope for the time being. I might have to start making it a hex editor, and then add the maze-editing functionality later on.

As a follow-up to my green Clyde video, I also took the initiative and changed Sue's color from orange to purple in Ms. Pac-Man like in Pac-Mania. 🟧→🟪

Yesterday, I made a simple ROM hack of Pac-Man where I just changed Clyde's color palette from orange to green. Thought it'd be cool to show this. 🟧→🟩

Eclipse really sucks to use when making Gradle projects. Do you guys think IntelliJ IDEA is better? 😑

I think I'm gonna have to use Javax Swing just to make the graphical interfaces for my Pac-Man level editor. That means I'm also gonna have to change the code from my shared libraries from C to Java, which would take up some time. It would also mean that I will use Gradle instead of CMake.

So I'm creating an app called Relaxian, which is a Pac-Man level editor, and I plan it to be powered by Qt5. The problem is that Qt5 really sucks to build from source. 😕

I just learned that, when you're making cross-platform C applications, you can just turn off C extensions in CMake. I can elaborate in the alt text below. 👇🙂

Made a cool little vector art of the Boss Galaxian from Galaxian, also from Pac-Man as well. Still feels like it needs some improvement though. 👾

Using dirent.h just feels so awkward for some reason. I just don't know why.

Finally got my Linux Mint working again. 👍✨
September 11, 2025 at 11:30 PM
So my Linux Mint just broke down for no reason while installing some updates. Like, it won't be able to boot properly anymore. Might as well just reinstall the whole system, I guess. 😑

I just learned that CMake has a pretty useful testing utility called CTest. It's like JUnit, but for CMake, as far as I know. Should've learned about this sooner.

So here's what I'm thinking. I kinda want to start over when it comes to making my ROM-hacking tools. I don't know why, but they're always giving me problems as I work on them. Thought it'd be a good idea to start over and such. 😑

I'm gonna have to take a break from Bluesky for a while to focus more on my life, as well as my dream projects... if I could even finish them. 😔

My Pac-Man ROM-hacking tool, LibPacIO, is going pretty good so far. I added the ability to print the help menu, which I guess is pretty useful. 😉👍✨

I personally think more people should use for POSIX programming. It is one of the more important standard libraries after all.
