Someone took our released sources and ported Chaos Theory to an AmigaOne X1000! So technically, we have now released an Amiga intro!

BoyC’s Law of thirdparty Libraries: “A thirdparty library building according to the readme and functioning out of the box is a deceptively rare exception to the rule.” Strong form to use when budgeting for integration: “No thirdparty library builds out of the box.”

Chaos Theory turns 20 years old today! 🎂 To know that even to this day we get people from all walks of life telling us how fond they're of it is honestly incredible to us. Got good memories about the intro? Where did you see it first? Let us know! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfk5...

Small survey on coordinate intuitions. You have an object on the screen, its position defined by the X, Y, Z coordinates. Which direction does your intuition say it will move in if you increase the X coordinate? What about increasing Y and Z? Which directions are the positive and negative?

Here's a small feature you didn't know you needed in your code editor: visual feedback for when you copy stuff to the clipboard. It's a simple thing but once you get used to it you'll start missing it everywhere else. Implemented as a Visual Studio plugin (not VSCode). github.com/BoyC/CopyHig...

My version of "googling yourself": every now and again I ask LLMs what they know about our demogroup Conspiracy (without googling). We're just obsucre enough to be known but not in detail so it's a good check to see how much info these systems gobble up over time. I feel like such a tool now...

Every so often we get asked why don't we use our 64k tech to make a game, or give it to people to improve existing games, and it's very hard to explain that That's Not How It Works.

Ever found a couple thousand bucks between the sofa cushions? That's how we felt last night when toggling a single compiler flag shrunk our 64k engine code by 20%. Moral of the story: don't assume anything when moving compilers in a size-coding context.

I managed to buy a laptop with a copilot key not realizing that it can't be set to act as the ctrl key, and all workarounds ignore the fact that the hardware actually sends "win+shift+f23", taking over the shift button and making shift+ctrl+arrow key selection impossible. Well. NO. MORE. COPILOT.

I spent painstaking months on this, and without a doubt this is one of the proudest I've been of everything I've ever worked on. SR is a demo without which a lot of us wouldn't be doing what we're doing, so to make it run natively on my machine was very emotional. (❤️ to @oldskool.org for his help)

= 32 bits after 32 years = We're incredibly proud to announce that Second Reality has now been finally ported to a modern operating system, and you can watch it tear up your system: no video, no emulation, just code - as it should be. conspiracy.hu/files/w32nd_... github.com/ConspiracyHu...

Second Reality, along with the legendary Assembly party were among the earliest influences to the members of Conspiracy. Today we're honoring the 32nd anniversary with a gift to the community: a native 32 bit port of the demo that kicked off the PC demoscene era with a bang.

Whoever thought that it'd be a good idea to have the copilot key send a ctrl-shift-f23 shortcut so there's no way to map it back to ctrl so that it works with shift-ctrl-arrow selection navigation needs to get persistent hiccups like right now.

Tried out openai deep research. Feels the same as when I used google for the first time ever (waay back). It's a filter to get an unshittified google on a more mature version of the internet.

These past couple days the phrase "open source" has been thrown around a lot. I feel this is misleading. Deepseek is as much "open source" as any released binary compiled application is. Open weight, locally executable is not the same thing.
