SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Through the power of "grown-up money" I have mastered the element of air! 020
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Who else occasionally checks if some LLM can regurgitate their own code back to them so I don't have to go find when/where I did something many years ago?! 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I am a game developer after all... I should own a Steam controller, right?!... for testing, you know... It can go on the stand with the other controllers I rarely use, right?!... 220
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 10/02/2026I had a weird #gamejam idea: Surfer Farm. Top-down pixel view of beach-side waves where you "farm" surfers by influencing waves, rocks and other beach features, causing more or fewer surfers to sit on their boards waiting for waves. The surfers are the "crop", and it's a cozy farming game. 130
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 23/12/2025In me here are two ADHD wolves at war. One says: "You wasted all day, and now you have to do a day's worth of work in half an hour!" The other says: "You only have half an hour left anyway. Might as well play a quick game round!" 061
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 07/12/2025Joining this wonderful team to bring some of my SudokuPad UX experience to more puzzles! 0153
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 07/11/2025The last two nights I woke up with words in my mind: Night 1: "Pump up the jam, I like the way I am" Night 2: "Isomer-rendered cyclene engine" What is wrong with me? 130
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Sometimes ADHD is trying to fall asleep and barely managing to stay awake at the same time. 040
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Here I am, just building my little blueprints, when I realised that apparently my activities BORE MY FACTORY! IT'S YAWNING! 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 29/10/2025So what does one do when the WSJ slaps your game app on their website without so much as an email or message? 283
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Just checking that "💧/s" means "dripping with sarcasm"... 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 13/10/2025@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social have you ever been involved with www.gathering4gardner.org ? It seems like a great place to rummage about TTRPG. Trying to figure out what I might be able to say about maths & gaming!gathering4gardner.orgGathering 4 GardnerG4G stimulates curiosity and the playful exchange of ideas and critical thinking in recreational math, magic, science, literature, and puzzles to preserve the legacy of writer and polymath Martin G… 020
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 04/10/2025At some intervals I completely forget that my dog is a dog and am, quite roughly, shocked back to that reality by suddenly realizing his nose is REALLY long for a person, or that he has dense hair, like EVERYWHERE! Or that his toenails are curved and thicker than my own! It's really quite jarring. 020
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Came across this at the park and can't figure out the button prompt to activate... 241
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 16/09/2025@realcarykh.bsky.social You latest sudoku video reminded me of some VFX I had experimented with in the early days of SudokuPad. Let me know if you ever want to collab and put something funky into SudokuPad! (Holy-moly is it hard to post GIFs anywhere these days!) 030
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Real talk: How do you transition an app/game/tool from version 0.592.1 to 1.0? It's used by 40,000+ users daily, and has been in live operation for 5+ years... 140
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 02/09/2025So, I'd like to try some modern local co-op games (it takes two, split fiction, etc) with my gf, but she's new to modern controllers (last game she played was Crash Bandicoot!), so is there something we could both play to "learn" modern controls without stress? (I've learned via Elden Ring) 100
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Why is my first instinct always to write code to do something rather than to check if an app already exists?! In this case to use mobile phone accelerometer data to record my dogs heart and breathing activity. 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 08/08/2025The kind of "sudoku" puzzles people make with my app: sudokupad.app/anw4lbk2p7?s... 020
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 29/05/2025@piratesoftware.live Somebody has started pen-testing my sudoku app, and I feel like I've reached some kind of milestone! 110
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 20/05/2025@greyalien.bsky.social Hey, here are some screenshots (including palette) of my 1996 FONTEDIT.EXE that I build in Pascal/assembler and used for all my pixel fonts and sprites! Also some example of light/shadow stuff I did with it. (1/2) 131
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 11/05/2025@hankgreen.bsky.social Weird one, but I think I yelled at you (or you yelled at me) in a dream last night, something about sudoku. But the weirdest part was that I was wearing a green hoody with the string pulled very tight so all I saw was your face through a tiny, green circle... Like, huh?! 210
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 07/05/2025@excrubulent.bsky.social Sorry if this isn't on your radar right now, but have you ever wondered why fuel generators are this awkward shape? Are they mean to slot into each other??? You decide! 120
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Better "Large Puzzle UI" support coming soon for SudokuPad! 020
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Having a multiple world champion sudoku solver casually mention your sudoku tool as if it's the default feels really nice. 150
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025My toxic trait is that I could've sat there all day doing this! 130
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 02/04/2025To stream or not to stream under these circumstances... #sudokucon2025 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 28/03/2025@ramiismail.com This made me think about your reasoning for being in games.. 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 28/03/2025@lente.me Just started playing (congrats on the kickstarter!). Where's the best place to report stuff? (just super minor technical things) As a dev, I know that you probably want to know about them, or likely already do. :) 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 21/03/2025I just said "I've been burned by the other side of that stick before" to somebody, and WTF was THAT??? 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 10/03/2025Sometimes I realise I play my own game too much and just work around issues, just like my users, instead of noting them for fixing! 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 09/03/2025I jus joined a Math conference on Zoom while in the shower... when I got out, I saw the little pop-up camera on my phone had opened... great... 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 04/03/2025My toxic/pessimistic trait is to repeatedly prove that I was either an idiot in the past and know much better now, or I'm an idiot now and can't improve on what I did in the past. 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 28/02/2025If any of you use a boom mic stand on a desk, what do you use to weight it down so it doesn't tip over? 220
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Server died. Still not sure why. But probably should stop using my home-made web server and switch to Apache or something... especially since, after 4 years in production it's still called "debugproxy"... 120
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 19/02/2025So, after four years of building my "thing" (Sven's SudokuPad), I still don't know if it's a #videogame or not... 130
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Does anyone else have this one monitor you only ever turn on to check if you've accidentally moved some icons onto it? 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 17/02/2025What do I do? Just sudoku tooling for entertainment and education. 110
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 14/02/2025I don't know what they're cooking at that restaurant, but it sure seems a tad excessive! 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 11/02/2025"Action is the antidote to that anxiety." I will think on this deeply. 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 02/02/2025I just realized that since 10,000% is NOT 10x, but 100x, percentages aren't metric! Well, the word literally means "per hundred", but to be metric it should be "per thousand", i.e. permille, right?! Am I going insane here? 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Yesterday I gave my first autograph at a mathematics conference. I might have to get better at that! 110
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 29/01/2025It's a bad time to have the funding of your game tied to science and education funding in the US right now... 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 27/01/2025I know certain folks that would probably appreciate this conference... 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 27/01/2025@theskepticsguide.bsky.social currently listening to James Gardner talking about his dad, Martin Gardner at RMC8. Thanks for your doors to the skeptical world. 010
