Thinking of doing something for the Watt-wise gamejam, I wonder what types of graphical games require the less power draw..

@neauoire Definitely turn-based - don't want a lot of things happening at a time. Maybe card-style games? Something graphically simple. Could do a point-and-click adventure or those text-controlled graphical adventures?

@neauoire I was thinking it might be cool to make one where minimizing energy usage is a mechanic of the game, like a fighting game with an energy bar

@neauoire The economy has to shift to export benefit per watt as the measure of value. Unity/Unreal/Godot are in that context not even options. AAA is even worse. Make your own engines and share load between hot-reloaded C++ and Java. Make your games engines open with "Source Available". License assets with resell rights to minimize bureaucracy. Make client-server multiplayer action games with gameplay that never expires. A jam is not the solution because it creates more waste.

Konilo is a small, pragmatic personal computing system written in Forth and running on a tiny virtual computer. A complete system consists of an ilo vm, an image file ("rom") with the Konilo system, and a set of blocks for storage of code and data.

@neauoire
#Konilo sounds a lot like #uxn, but with 32 bit words instead of 12 bit words.

Sadly I am doing 16 bit forth coputers on an FPGA.

Refreshed the look and feel of the javascript uxn repl, it took me a while to get to it but it was well worth it, it used to run on an old version of the assembler that didn't have all the features of the more modern assemblers(lambdas, etc..) It now has parity :maru:

Also, dark mode is growing on me.

@neauoire I love it. Thanks for sharing it a few days ago.

(and thanks @tvler for the build)

@neauoire so cool you're liking the extension! Been a huge 100r fan for years❤️

@neauoire Hey, that's me! I hope to get back to solving some more soon.

@neauoire I just moved to Chicago. I've heard it's gonna be INTENSE here! I'm excited about it (for now)

@neauoire congratulations! Your choice (your and Rekka) made a huge impact on my life! I remember I was blown away for weeks when I first stumbled on hundred rabbits, years ago, and since then you two have been constantly a reference point in my life. Thank you for your courage of living the life truly at the fullest!!

Whenever I meet a person under forty, living in the neighborhood we're currently moored at, my initial guess based on previous encounters is that they must be scamming the elderly into buy repackaged supplements, while running some sort of tiktok lifestyle coach - that seems to be the pattern here.

This morning I met one, which lead by telling me how they're NOT selling pills. What they do instead is make the customer think they're buying supplements but instead email them ads daily.

Work in Canada is so fucking meta, entrepreneurship really just means having had parents in Alberta who made money in tarsands, flipping houses and airbnb, or scamming the elderly.

this is so sad and so realistic.
canada is not doing well at all economically speaking :(

3 months ago I had to literally drag my gym friends out of their beds, now, just got an email: "Can we do 5:50am instead of 6:00am."

Added UTF-8's multi-byte support to a text editor today, I've always been scared to get into it, it looked messy and confusing at a distance. But the design makes it pretty accessible, for even such a small system as uxn.

The rule is pretty simple:

- starting bytes are 11xx xxxx
- continuation bytes are 10xx xxxx

The entire implementation to handle multi-byte characters is a mere 30ish bytes long.

@neauoire Literally UTF8 is a miracle. Its entire spec was written on a napkin.

@neauoire @neauoire If you haven't already, make sure to read about the difference between code points vs graphemes vs grapheme clusters. Thinking in terms of "characters" tends to lead to trouble because the word "character" could refer to any of those things.

Depending on your level of commitment to international text support it might also be worth getting your head around e.g. the role of technologies like HarfBuzz in text rendering.

@neauoire Does the text display anticipate RTL?

@neauoire Oh that's great!! And is there an addon to improve the follow button to always redirect to a specific instance?

@neauoire "You’d need some new tools for transmitting values and missions into the future."

Do we? We already have culture, writing, stories etc, but yeah, there's no guarantee future generations will hold our values and goals of today (and in so many cases, thank goodness!). But I think that might be a good thing. Only they'll know what they need.
