I made my physics engine in 7 days, using only past experience, trial-and-error, and a whole lot of dot products 😅
5 of those days were spent struggling with rigidbody physics, haha

I animated these little emoji guys for the video! #aftereffects #2danimation
They represent "autonomy", "competence", and "relatedness" in Psychology.
They're kind of why we do what we do. Say hi:

One time, I stored functions in frame labels that control the position and state of a whole bunch of layers using eval().
Cursed, but fun!!

Wait..!
why would the Cancel button not be in the same place as the Update button when you press it?
why would the Uninstall button swap there instead?¿⸮
that's it, I'm revoking Google's #UIUX privileges for the day

Guess they ran out of gas before they got to mine.
I'm still surprised they're keeping the legacy site up after all these years, as it slowly crumples feature by feature.

Last night I had the sudden irreversible urge to make a blank Sudoku solver (in Haxe).
I tried to make this in Flash when I was a kid, and ended up deleting it because it would just crash. Redemption!
Y'ever solve a blank Sudoku? Look at it go! :)

Last year, for the first time, I ran a Patreon!
I used it as a behind-the-scenes resource with daily devlogs.
The highlights paint a great picture of my year honestly!

Here's a weird problem I had to solve!
I wanted the 1-bit mode to sound correct both in stereo and mono 🎧
At first I just averaged the signals, but notice below how the sounds cancel out, so it's no longer 1-bit!
The trick was to alternate each bit :D

Starts with just a video of a rotating flash drive..
but if I make the left side of the screen in the past, and the right side in the future, it TWISTS 🤯
Flash drive? more like floppy drive! hoh!
