Some recent work, documenting Monospace Engine's audio API's. Composed of three main parts:
1. Soundset Objects, contain sound assets
2. Menu Sound Settings, basically CSS for UI sounds
3. Audio API, general scripting interface
Still very much WIP #enginedev #indiedev #gamedev

I've just released Monospace Engine v0.1.0! It's the first publicly available release, and you can now download it on my website.
It's mostly just a tech demo with a REPL at this point, but I hope to develop some games soon!

My website has been indexed by Marginalia Search!
It might seem funny but I cared more about this than being indexed by Google. We need to take back the internet from giant corporations and put real human experience at the center of it again.

The design of the second arena from Yu Yu Hakusho's Dark Tournament is unreal. It really screams H. R. Giger at first sight.

I've been working on implementing canvas scripting in my game engine recently (written in C, using Lua for scripting). Here's a little showcase, more info in the replies:

Working on documenting my game engine... It's a bit boring but essential. If I don't do it for too long I risk forgetting things myself 😅
The documentation is generated from org mode documents using a custom exporter I wrote, which uses JS, CSS, emacs lisp and awk.

We create a menu with the appropriate appearance settings, and provide it an init script that inserts the text regions, and installs the appendSpace script to run for 1260 frames. As the script runs, each frame a new space character is inserted and a new region is made visible.

Here's a short demo of text regions in Monospace engine. Each "pixel" of the image is a space character, with its own region containing its color.
