I have been enjoying playing the BBC Micro version of Exile at 1080p and 144fps. Such a fantastic game and it has been great fun building the emulator in @javidx9's pixel game engine. I've included the code here if you would like to take a look: github.com/tgd2/exile-olc…

Get Knotted! A high score chasing puzzle game made for the 2025 GMTK Game Jam using @javidx9’s excellent Pixel Game Engine. Play in the browser. Good luck in making more complex loops without “getting knotted”. I would love to hear how you get on! tgd20.itch.io/get-knotted

@UridiumAuthor Hmm.. I’m more on the fence of this. Irritating in the short term, but in general I think cpp libs should break compatibility more if it gives a better end product. Box2d 2->3 and similarly SDL are great examples of this done well

To upgrade to the next major version of SFML, I have to fix 352 errors caused by interface changes. I must fix them all, though I don`t understand all the C++ jargon. I have to freeze my code or support both versions. So here`s a question: how many errors is too many to bother?

@Jonathan_Blow Pleased you watch the amazing Matt Parker!

Time to rewrite all your 4x4 matrix multiplication code????* (* Unity Game Engine enjoyers do not know matrix, it’s fine.) youtu.be/sGCmu7YKgPA?si…

@PaulieHughes Great work 😀

Here's the first pop of Spectrum Chuckie Egg reverse engineered back to a fully assembler-able version. The code is pretty well documented; I just need to add some more stuff to the readme about how some quirky bits work. I'll update the github soon! github.com/Paulie68000/ZX…

@PaulieHughes Love it. My favourite version too :)

16 functions left to document before we start to re-assemble...

@FreyaHolmer Or “FreyTris 3D” for short 😀 Loving the vibe notes BTW

I really need to come up with a name for my 3D modeling tool - if you have ideas I'd love to hear them! here's a link to my notes, which includes my intended vibe targets, how I don't want to name it, my current top candidates, and random discarded ideas publish.obsidian.md/acegikmo/Tools…

Really pleased with how this shaped up. A huge amount of effort over the last week, and a huge thanks to @TMCNT for creating the sounds and @javidx9 for hosting the gamejam #olccodejam2024

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK 1 min of question vs 10 sec of answer. I love your podcasts but, especially on Leading, I wish your questioning was more succinct 😀

🥊 Can we learn from Peter Malinauskas about setting aside political tribalism and be generous to our opponents? South Australia's Premier, Peter Malinauskas, discusses taking the moral high ground in politics with @campbellclaret and @RoryStewartUK.

@BreakIntoProg @jimblimey It’s a long time since I picked up anything good from a car boot sale - last one was £3 for a fully working Megadrive (they wanted £5 and I haggled). That gives an idea of how long ago it was! Better luck for the next one…

Incredible things are happening on my bag of legumes

@adamgordonbell Awesome. Loving the podcast, and great to have a bonus video too! 🙂

I just released a video. Its about language complexity and code readability. youtube.com/watch?v=4xmeXB…

@gamemakerstk An excellent video - really enjoying the long form

Premiering now - The 100 Games That Taught Me Game Design youtube.com/watch?v=gWNXGf…

Episode 100 of @corecursive is out, and it's something special. It's a story about debugging code, and I don't want to spoil it, but it blew my mind. It's about questioning the trust we put in our tools when building software. Also, Don and Krystal are back and share some reflections on the 100th episode.

@RMCRetro @hardistymark Exile. Every. Time 🕰️ 😀

A simple question, which game are we playing today from the shelf? . . (And why are you letting Power Drift get to you so much) 🤌

@Jonathan_Blow So, nearly twice as many as the original. That’s excellent to here. Looking forward to the launch next month.

Braid, Anniversary Edition has 35 new levels. Originally I thought there would be no new levels. Then I was like, "hey I figured out a way to add like 4 or 5, without ruining the original game." Then I accidentally a bunch of design.
