iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Decided to make a super-simple TUI for my tetris bot. Had never made TUIs before. A lot of fun, feels like using CSS for the first time - now I want to add a TUI for everything I make. Now I hope that, unlike Anthropic, I don't need a year to fix flickering.

Up until today, i had never noticed how git prints two different messages for noop push and pull, including two different ways to spell "up to date" and now it's bothering me extremely.

Terminal screenshot with the text:
~/code/cal main $ git pull
Already up to date.
~/code/cal main $ git push
Everything up-to-date

After scratching my webscraping itch, I want to explore the logical next step - game automation. Can I make a (very) bad tetris bot? I think I just need to come out of the bot closet. Out of all personal software projects, making random bots is among my favorites.

Cracks me up seeing posts like “I vibecoded this thing to solve this very specific problem of mine. Github link below.” As if they’re doing the world a favor instead of polluting the public internet with slop noone else has any use for.

I've been keeping a handwritten logbook, because handwriting is supposedly good for your brain. I write in english, but I decided to start doing it in my native language, because it makes more sense and, after spending a whole day with my brain in english, it's so weird.

Odin is fairly different from gdscript, and yet they are similar enough that it screws with my muscle memory when I switch from one to the other.

odin + raylib has been borken for weeks on arch linux/cachyOS. I have been abstaining from updating my laptop, since I have the old, working version, because I don't want to compile odin manually or, god forbid, install it from AUR.

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

Godot's current policy on AI-assisted contributions reads like this:

"The use of AI to contribute to Godot is discouraged, and contributions made entirely by AI are prohibited.

We acknowledge that AI can be useful, but we are convinced that human effort results in better and more relevant contributions.

If you do use AI, we expect that you put in effort to proofread and improve anything it generates, and that you disclose what you used AI for. As maintainers spend significant time reviewing your code, please make sure that the code you submit is well-tested and functional. Please be respectful of their time and only submit something you have put thought and effort into."

Thought dump (no discussion): If you don't like an engine's leadership's stance on AI, you can push for change, or stop using/supporting it. That's power. But if your aim is to avoid "tainted code", please consider what that actually means for you. Thread. 🧵👇 #gamedev #indiedev

Reading about AdLib, I realize why all AdLib music sounds so “soft”. It’s because the underlying Yamaha YM3812 (OPL2) chip can’t do square or triangle waves, only various forms of sine. Not without “hacks” at least, it seems.
