For today's #lovebytetcc, I made it so the snow accumulates on the tree in 450 bytes. It's fun to revisit these challenges with more familiarity with the #uxn ecosystem.

@neauoire perhaps a naive question, but are there any up to date guides to getting/using uxn. Say, with the new OS additions. I felt foolish the other day, wasn’t sure which repo to clone or how to really start

Devine Lu Linvega

@slew Depends what you want to do.

The best way to get started with uxn is reading the uxn tutorial: compudanzas.net/uxn_tutorial_d

As well as the uxntal docs: wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxntal.ht

And the Varvara docs: wiki.xxiivv.com/site/varvara.h

For the OS, that's a whole different thing, also, it's very bleeding edge, you need to be familiar with the first link before diving into porporo.

@neauoire thank you for this. The trouble at the moment is I don’t really know what I want to do or start with. But I do know I want to start!
I’m just fascinated with it all, all that you do and create with/within uxn

@slew One of the first projects I did with uxn is write my wiki engine in it. Then am illustration program, try to find a task that could be well suited for uxn and go with that :)

@neauoire I’ll start with something real small. Never worked with a stack based language before, it’s a perfect chance to learn!

@slew @compudanzas's tutorial is a good place to start then, it goes through the basics in detail :) I'm always around if you need a hand with anything, or if something is unclear.

It's amazing to see this year's #lovebytetcc with so much language variety, ocaml, BQN, k, etc.. Unfortunately, very few concatenative languages as usual.

@neauoire I remember sitting in front of the computer as a kid (with no real skills whatsoever, just getting those first pixels to who up) wondering how the heck you'd get snowy pixels to accumulate... if will always feels like a magical thing to me! 😍

@lovebyteparty I remember the first time I saw world of sand and it felt like computers could do pure magic :D

@neauoire oooh a super cool 00s thing I didn't know about, thank you! You mean *this* world of sand right? I can imagine!

@lovebyteparty Might be a good little challenge to make next year, I made this little implementation in 400 bytes:

@neauoire Oooh, cool and interesting. 🤩 Pinging @dave84 to consider. It could e.g. be an extension of the current "snow" exercises.
