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 · 27/06/2026I need to go through your stuff for a project revisiting a game I made in 1996. Hope you have some 8-bit sci-fi pixels! ;) 000
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 · 10/02/2026When I grew up in the 80s, I always thought that's what it would be like for racism, sexism or religiosity... That it would all pass by the time I'd grow up... 030
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 · 07/11/2025Sweet puzzle! sudokupad.app/xtw55mihd1sudokupad.appR445 by Rusty (Sven's SudokuPad v0.592.1) 010
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 · 29/10/2025Need to change the footer too, something like: "SudokuPad created by Sven Neumann, puzzles by their respective authors" 020
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 29/10/2025Thinking of putting up a popup and give the promo space for free to community members for their puzzles. 110
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 · 24/10/2025The problem is that my rabid sudoku community cries "cheats" for basic UX and QoL features, lol! 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Go to bed at 23:00... Sleep for 5 hours and get up at 9:00. A good night by my standards... 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 24/10/2025TBH, I recently realised that the comical incompetence in TV that bothered me so much wasn't caricature, but realism... :( 170
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Thanks so much! Will try it out on stream today, let's see if it'll get struck! Pls let me know if the credit line is sufficient.

SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Can I ask "font people" to recommend a font for sudoku? 030
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Thanks, added a tip. Will try, as I'd love a break from my current play list, lol! YouTube.com/svencodes 020
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Can I use them as background music while streaming (programming), without getting copyright struck? 240
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 16/10/202516-bit aesthetics feel so strange to me as I programmed hard in asm in the 90s in 8-bit styles, then skipped to the 2010s, and never really experienced that era! 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Just checking that "💧/s" means "dripping with sarcasm"... 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 13/10/2025It's confidently and repeatedly wrong without consequence. So it's a perfect fit! 000
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 · 15/08/2025The first four games I bought I don't think I've ever played! 000
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 08/08/2025As long as professional sports isn't exclusively done be "average" people, I don't think it matters what attributes people have "on average". 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 · 31/07/2025I've had ten years of agony before I found out I can't tolerate wheat ... I'd come up with a VERY different song... PAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!!! 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 31/07/2025I think I could have been a singer/musician... Loved choir as a kid, and still love making up songs to comfort my dog and encourage his daily business. "Poopn' Time" is a jazzy hit! 010
SvenCodes @killroy.bsky.social · 22/06/2025That's what I found. I figured a way to switch them, but it's a PITA. 010
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
