Two different accounts messaged me about music, sent me links to pixel art they made, and then had the same image on both their artstation. One of these had clearly AI generated art, what a bummer. Also if youre a CHIPTUNE ARTIST and you are interested in licensing a track or two hmu.

I've been messing with homelab things. I was wondering if someone could SSH into my network and my firewall blocked it fine. But that's not fun. Now if you try to SSH into my network you get no errors. I might put this on Github...

TILEMAP COLLISIONS ARE A SUCCESS. What you're seeing: Tiles are made solid at random for testing. Big Square is being controlled by the DPAD Tiny dots are polling positions (think raycasts) Squares are the tiles being polled for collisions. #gamedev #playdate

I'm back at it, folks! This time I'm working on creating a tile collision system. This is more of a consciousness dump for what I'm setting up to work on. Spoilers: There's no actual collisions, yet. hop.lodomo.dev/dl3 #gamdev #pixelart

I think a "part 1" of my DevLog on collisions will be up by Sunday. It was originally going to be just a single post, but it's getting out of hand. oooof. #gamedev #playdate #pixelart

Playing with figuring out how to implement a Tilemap collider on playdate. Holding the data in a string is memory efficient (by about 10x) but is 4x slower to look up since strings aren't indexed. #gamedev #playdate #learning

Me when I say I'm headed to the valley: #gamedev

A graph illustrating the Dunning-Kruger Effect. The y-axis is labeled "Confidence" (ranging from Low to High), and the x-axis is labeled "Competence" (ranging from "Know-nothing" to "Guru"). The curve starts low, rises sharply to a peak labeled "Peak of 'Mount Stupid'," then drops into a trough labeled "Valley of Despair," gradually rises again through the "Slope of Enlightenment," and levels off at the "Plateau of Sustainability."

Working on the colliders for Boulder Mage PD, I wanted to make sure I'm using roughly the right sized circle I took a screenshot from Celeste, and scaled it to a 400x240 to see, roughly, how big boulder mage should be. To my delight, I don't think I have to scale anything, just redraw in 1 bit.

The image is a screenshot from the video game Celeste. It shows a pixel-art platforming section set in a dark, cave-like environment. The protagonist, Madeline, is seen on the left side near a wall, with her hair colored in shades of red and yellow, indicating she has a dash available. The area contains dangerous spikes, platforms, and climbable walls, requiring precise navigation to progress. A wooden signpost is visible in the center, suggesting a tutorial or warning. The overall color palette is dark with icy blue and earthy tones.

Superimposed on top is BoulderMage in two styles (colored and 1-bit)

Getting a "scene" system working for Playdate. I can finally make some garbage stuff to test things without having to rewrite "main" and make a mess.

Code that says:
import "scripts/_imports"

local pd = playdate
pd.display.setRefreshRate(50)
local current_scene = TestScene

local function init()
print("Initializing...")
current_scene:load()
pd.update = current_scene.update
end

pd.update = init

-----

TestScene = Scene()

TestScene.load = function()
-- Load resources or initialize scene
print("TestScene loaded")
TestScene.some_var = 0
end

TestScene.update = function()
-- Update scene logic
TestScene.some_var = TestScene.some_var + 1
print("TestScene.some_var: " .. TestScene.some_var)
end

I don't think this is what they meant when they said that fractals are found in nature. #fractals #3dprinting

$Three 3D printed menger sponge fractals on a log. In mathematics, the Menger sponge is a fractal curve. It is a three-dimensional generalization of the one-dimensional Cantor set and two-dimensional Sierpinski carpet. It was first described by Karl Menger in 1926, in his studies of the concept of topological dimension.$

I got classes, operator overloading, and inheritance working beautifully in Lua. One single function to make a new class, both base and inherited. No ":new()" mess. So much groundwork, but I'll be making garbage games at lightning speed. Just you wait. 👩‍🍳🤌💋 #gamedev #lua #playdate

Code Screenshot:
P1 = Point(1, 1)
P2 = Point(2, 2)
P3 = P1 + P2
P4 = P3 + P3
P4:print()

V1 = Vector(60, 60)
V2 = Vector(9, 9)
V3 = V1 + V2
V3:print()

Output Screenshot
Class: point
x 6
y 6
Class: vector
Inherited Classes: point
x 69
