Over the years, my Game Boy cartridge collection quietly grew to around 100 pieces. Last week, I decided to turn it into a small nostalgia project. One cartridge per day.

Another Bactopia update! I think the plugin is completed now! I've also started the transition from pytest to nf-test (from @lukfor.bsky.social and @sebschoenherr.bsky.social). So far nf-test has been great to work with! Haha probably should have made the transition a long time ago!

Ja. Ich verstehe was du meinst. Bei der Tageschallenge macht es so definitiv mehr Spaß. Eventuell, dass man es beim zufallsmodus optional einstellen kann? Jedenfalls hatte ich gestern viel Spaß damit, danke ✌️

Macht Spaß 👍 wäre es event. sinnvoller, die beiden Hinweisorte in unterschiedliche Richtungen/Quadranten zu legen? Beim heutigen Rätsel zeigen beide in die gleiche Himmelsrichtung. der zweite liefert imho kaum zusätzliche Infos. Ein Ort in einer anderen Richtung wäre vielleicht hilfreicher.

After the millennium, I started with Delphi and made a SameGame clone—then became obsessed with card games! 🎴 I shared my games in forums and was super happy that people actually played them.

Just found my first real game on some old floppy discs from around 1999: a Mastermind clone written in QBasic. I remember being super happy and proud because it was the first project I actually finished instead of stopping halfway to start another idea. 👨🏻‍💻
