Just finished red seas under red skies this week, glad to have found the series 'late' 😅

Hell yeah, congrats on the contract and more importantly Hollow Knight sticking 🫡

Have "Guards! Guards!" on hold at the library, excited to read it!

I started climbing again earlier this year, and our girls absolutely love it, so we just built a rock wall at home! Was a fun weekend project and the inspectors said we did a great job 😂 Hardest part was drilling the ~150 holes per board for the t-nuts.

Bare 4 feet by 4 feet plywood boards with holes drilled in a triangle pattern for climbing holds to install into.

Congrats! Looking forward to some great blog posts 😎

Ooh nice! Would love to see how your implementing it. Reusing any of your Gleam code or is it something new?

Dude, this is looking so sick 🔥

I've really appreciated your devlogs and games, so that's sad to hear. I hope whatever projects you work on next are revitalizing and go well!

I also forgot until your reply haha don't feel pressured to play it though. Definitely a great game but not one everyone has to play

Connor Lindsey @connorlindsey.dev · 02/04/2025

Think we've had this conversation before 😅 it didn't click for me until the 3rd boss, but I played HK before any fromsoft game, so not sure how it'd be going the other way.

You gotta report back how those games go with your daughter! Been trying to find some good storytelling/rpg/etc games since our 5yo is loving board games so much. Outfoxed, story time chess, and forbidden island (with some more help) have been hits

Updated the simulation to use a quadtree for a nice bump in performance! Been a bit addicting tweaking the attraction values and seeing what shapes come out 🦠

Brave! Has some features I liked from Arc (and I’ve made some browser extensions to replicate some others like copy current url to clipboard). Not totally in love with it, but it’s working well enough.

I made a Vite site with the exercises from reading Nature of Code and from the tangents I'm going off on nature-of-code-exercises-cl.vercel.app Big shoutout to @shiffman.lol for writing an amazing book (and coding train). This has been the most fun I've had coding in a while!

Been having a ton of fun working on a p5 implementation of particle life. Focus today was on performance and was able to 10x the number of particles it can render w/o dropping frames. Going to keep experimenting with behavior and fix some issues like the clustering

Such a good game, was my first FromSoft game

This looks so nice! Been using the latest Musescore recently and it’s cool to see audacity have a similar redesign

Going to be joined by @connorlindsey.dev tomorrow on stream! Let's see if we can get units and a turn system added to the game engine. 🤞

Thanks so much! Will dm you 🙌

Great write up and awesome to see how much you accomplished this year. Can't wait to see what you build next year man!

Connor Lindsey @connorlindsey.dev · 26/12/2024

I really like it! The way you organize things with scenes feels very similar to components and made it easier to understand. It's definitely a smaller community but there are still a lot of great resources, tutorials, libraries, etc.

These are awesome! It's been awesome seeing more games made with web-tech (elephantintheroom.fun is another I've been enjoying). Had a similar year playing with Godot, Three.js, and most recently the Playdate. Working on a side-scrolling arcade game called Gator Rain atm.

Just a midi controller, but hoping to replace it with a Minifreak soon 🎅 And virtual! Will have an optional, sync call to discuss the current chapter for those who can make it, but trying to keep it laid back

Connor Lindsey @connorlindsey.dev · 20/12/2024

Have you tested any of the other newer sync engines like Electric? Would be cool to see a roundup of them and how they all compare

If you're interested in creative coding or simulations, come read The Nature of Code with us! I'm setting up a chill book club to read the book and share projects starting in January. DM me for info!

Sweet! I’ll set something simple up and DM you guys

Connor Lindsey @connorlindsey.dev · 19/12/2024

Would be fun to do it as a book club or something if ya'll were interested

Ah shoot, forgot it doesn't support isometric tiles. I've seen Tiled mentioned a few times and it does support them www.mapeditor.org

Check out ldtk.io. Have used it with Lua for making Playdate games and it's super helpful for building levels. There's no Gleam importer AFAICT so you'd have to parse the files yourself though: ldtk.io/docs/game-de...
