I felt like throwing together a thread about my little projects.
Starting with #pico8 stuff.
Trial of the Sorcerer is a Wolf3D like FPS where you shoot monsters with a magic staff, in procgen levels.

For no particular reason I've been working on a little immediate mode GUI framework in #motc. So far supports nested scrollable regions, popup dialogs and drop down lists.
I might use it to make a little tiled pixel art editor.

It's quite possible that nobody uses this but me 🙃, but
MotC 1.3.3 has been released
Main changes were the ones necessary for Grand Prix (clip rectangles, set pitch on playing sfx)
Also fixes a startup bug in exported web apps

Mot's Grand Prix Remastered has been released.
This is a rewrite of the Pico-8 original version in MotC, with 320x240 graphics, analogue controller support and touch screen steering on mobile devices.
And it now has a qualification lap :-)

Air Pico by @tommulgrew.itch.io is one of the latest flight games on the PICO-8 Fantasy Console. With 15 missions across a 16km x 16km map, it is an impressive feat for its small file size. #PICO8 #indiegame #flightsim

They should make an FPS where you can play as a 4-armed mutant, and quad wield.
That'd be swell.

Are there any chess engines that will show me the move most likely to succeed, assuming all follow up moves are played at my own (lousy) playing ability?

I've been farting around with DosBox cycles to try to approximate hardware I used to own.
I've realised that "Init DOOM refresh daemon" was the first PC performance benchmark.

Random thought:
1000 years ago there was no trace of you.
But now, here you are.
=> There is a greater than 0% chance the universe can transition from you not existing to you existing.
1000 years later you will not be here.
How is that different from 1000 years ago?

How can a monitor have a sub 1ms response time, yet take 3 seconds to respond when you press a button on the bottom of it?
What is it doing for those 3 seconds?
