🕹️ Old coder I'm a 50+ Army-Vet teaching computers older than my lawnmower how to draw sprites. I live in the middle of nowhere. I also play lots of games. I share sometimes at: https://makertube.net/c/programmervsworld/videos
To those out there who worked last year coding or even low-coding on a project just to have you clients start their own vibe-coding efforts and kill your contract thinking they can do better.....
I feel you. :)
Let see how long it takes before they realize.
One more day and a wake-up and this contract will be over. Sad when you have a contract so toxic that being unemployed feels like relief.
I desperately need this time off though. 137 hours of PTO. I think I might take it all. :)
On a gov contract closeout. It's a modernization effort to get them on Appian (low-code/no-code). Stakeholder's latest tantrums on call was "My niece could vibe-code a better product."
I'm so done with this one. It's been a year too long with this client. :)
Anyone else got zero page pulled up on twitch and some popcorn? It’s about time. :)

Just putting that out there since "retro" hardware may be all we have left after AI destroys the consumer market :)
Not every retro system needs to be pushed to prove something.
Sometimes the real creativity is in fully exploring what it already is.
A huge IMO disclaimer but I truly believe...
There’s a difference between “pushing the envelope” and “exploring the design space.”
A new fantasy or retro system deserves years of games that embrace its constraints before we try to outsmart them.
The magic is usually in the limits.
Now that's what I'm talking about. VSCode can suck it. NeoVIM is dead to me. This is a TUI text editor for this century.

Been messing around with a Raylib idea for a shooter with a mandatory orbit mechanic. I really want to port this to retro though. I can get the motion with a sine table. Is the only way to get rotation on retro to make a pack of like 16 directions of the sprite pre-turned? Is there a trick?
Been on sort of a development detour this week learning the GameTank C SDK and generally just enjoying how easy and fun it is to work with blitter based rendering. This SDK is a joy. I really, really, really hope the crowd-funding works out.

The daily line of animal that wait at the front door for my daily stand up call to end. Plus one chicken!
Need proof my animals know when my daily stand up call is going to end? BTW the red one thought she was sneaky.
