The days are getting longer, looking forward to casting off in the spring and sailing north again. Having the opportunity to re-write Oquonie to uxntal is so wonderful, I sometimes have to pinch myself to force me to look back and really take in that I get to spend my time programming in a made-up language that maps perfectly to how I reflect about interactive art and design. The game features a conlang by which the characters communicate, and it seems fitting it would be programmed in something nearly as bizarre.

We've been reading Edward Abbey's The Journey Home, there's a whole passage in it that is a log of his working in a fire watch tower. It's funny to see his thoughts being so similar to that of long distance sailors. LOVEBYTE DEMOSCENE PARTY 11-2-2023, more details at @lovebyteparty It looks like we're actually doing this. So nearly 10 years ago we made this game for iOS called Oquonie. And this year we'll rewrite it for Varvara to be as small and portable as we can possibly make it. After running a couple of tests, it seems like we'll be able to port the whole thing without too much trouble.

Woke up with this synth sequence stuck in my head. Our friends on SV Muktuk are sailing back to Japan, they will be at sea for the next few weeks! [hundredrabbits/Left] FEATURE REQUEST - OpenAI GPT Integration (Issue #170) :eccehomo:

Coding with proportional font is lovely, but sometimes you just want a part of text to align properly dammit @neauoire Would it be a good compromise to have just the digits all the same width in the regular proportional font? @neauoire Time to implement your own version of elastic tabstops? https://nickgravgaard.com/elastic-tabstops/ Edit: replied before I saw the video. Your solution looks a lot easier to implement :) @neauoire wow, I didn’t expect the look to work so well in pixels but it has retained its beauty I had made this little tool to change the wallpaper tile, a-la Mac, but I wondered if I could just point it to any asset whatever, and it looks like it can be used to modify any aspect of the GUI. @tbsp the glyphs looks great :D I'll add a way to toggled them on/off. I've done a few changes to them, just to help with readability. How would you like to be credited for this? "Whitney is no respecter of rules. One of the scariest things I ever did as a young man was following him through central Toronto on a bicycle. " #apl The promise of reversible computing is that the amount of heat loss for reversible architectures would be minimal for significantly large numbers of transistors. Rather than creating entropy (and thus heat) through destructive operations, a reversible architecture conserves the energy by performing other operations that preserve the system state. An erasure of information in a closed system is always accompanied by an increase in energy consumption. |
@neauoire @rek that’s really neat.
i am worried abour the little main character’s forehead tho. are they bumping into the doorframe every time they change rooms?
