Here I am, just building my little blueprints, when I realised that apparently my activities BORE MY FACTORY! IT'S YAWNING!

Came across this at the park and can't figure out the button prompt to activate...

@realcarykh.bsky.social You latest sudoku video reminded me of some VFX I had experimented with in the early days of SudokuPad. Let me know if you ever want to collab and put something funky into SudokuPad!

(Holy-moly is it hard to post GIFs anywhere these days!)

Oh, no no no! It was perhaps closer to 5fps while rendering that effect... which seemed swell back in the day :D I'm afraid all my recordings are from DOSBox these days, so nothing representative... Oh, and what modern WebGL can do with those 16x16 sprites... codepen.io/killroy/pen/...

Here is the "magic" code that would take a 24-bit RGB value and search the 256 color palette for the closest match. It's super-hyper optimized (loop unrolling, etc). This way I could, for example, overdraw the buffer semi-transparently multiple times with random offsets for a screen shake effect.

@greyalien.bsky.social Hey, here are some screenshots (including palette) of my 1996 FONTEDIT.EXE that I build in Pascal/assembler and used for all my pixel fonts and sprites! Also some example of light/shadow stuff I did with it. (1/2)

@excrubulent.bsky.social Sorry if this isn't on your radar right now, but have you ever wondered why fuel generators are this awkward shape? Are they mean to slot into each other???

You decide!

Having a multiple world champion sudoku solver casually mention your sudoku tool as if it's the default feels really nice.

@ramiismail.com This made me think about your reasoning for being in games..

Guess what I'm working on for April first ...

If any of you use a boom mic stand on a desk, what do you use to weight it down so it doesn't tip over?

Server died. Still not sure why. But probably should stop using my home-made web server and switch to Apache or something... especially since, after 4 years in production it's still called "debugproxy"...

My anxiety is through the roof!

What do I do? Just sudoku tooling for entertainment and education.

I don't know what they're cooking at that restaurant, but it sure seems a tad excessive!

I got one of these small, cheap 10" 1920x1200 touch screens for dev, touch testing and connecting to secondary devices and computers, and it kind fits into the gap under my large portrait monitor. Can recommend.

It was math-rific!

This is a (surprisingly honest) interaction I had recently...
