Finally made a low-poly airliner that I'm proud of! I'm not an artist, so even this level of fidelity is super challenging for myself. Excited to rig it up and get it flying in-game soon!

The Lines of Code plugin has FINALLY received a facelift! This has been scheduled for release for a few months, but was awaiting actors to be usable from plugins.

Here's an example. Imagine you want to make a mobile slider UI component. You first detect when the user started the drag on the UI component itself. Then you use UserInputService to detect changes and ending, using the InputObject as the way to detect if it's the same finger.

My mental health can be measured inversely proportional to how often and how late I listen to math rock.

I've been working on a Postgres driver written in Luau for my Koa runtime. It's coming along nicely! Here's an example of inserting rows to a table, and then listing out all the rows.

Example of a socket client in Koa. Here I am getting the current time from an NTP server and parsing out the timestamp.
The NTP_TIMESTMAP_DELTA converts from the NTP timestamp (Jan 1900) to Unix (Jan 1970)

RIP, at least I tried. I've heard it's hard to get accepted into Nintendo's dev program.

Luau running physical infrastructure! (Just my coach lights)
Using a Shelly 1PM smart relay to toggle my lights on/off thru its API, and using my Luau runtime to spool up a simple HTTP server to shuttle around requests & also to run the background thread for updating the light state.

Yet another Luau runtime? Oh yeah. This time, written in Zig.

I don't believe GitHub contributions says anything about someone's productivity. It does, however, highlight life events in funny ways. You can see when said life event happened for me!

My new build! I'm really happy how this turned out. It'll be fully enclosed, so nothing to look at, but I'm hoping for some good performance!

Galaxy Warriors was such a fun project. We abandoned it because it didn't fit the "Roblox" mold. Tempted to port it to Godot or Unity eventually!

Parts are starting to come in! Got the fans and PSU somewhat installed for placement last night. Still waiting for motherboard, water cooler, and GPU.

For the sake of completion, here's decompression. This code is just to test that the process is working. It runs immediately after the compression step against the written file.
1. Create file buffer
2. Create mem buffer
3. Decompress file buf into mem buf
4. Read data & load bytecode to verify

Here's what the bundled code writer looks like. I write the raw binary data to a dynamic buffer, and then I run the zlib "deflate" compressor against a file buffer, which is the final file write.
Decoding is basically the same in reverse.

Here's an example. 1k samples of 100k iterations, running square root of the iteration index. Native Luau is much faster in this instance. You can see the outer percentile ranges are closer to the median as well, compared to the normal Luau version.

The only other code that's necessary is to call the "supported" and "create" functions. I can't believe it's this easy.

Kudos to the Luau team. This is super easy. Just target the desired function at the given stack index and it'll do the native codegen.
