Finished @ElroyTheGame recently. Delightful, highly recommended. There will come a time when you have an important choice to make: PUSH HIM. Trust me on this. It's the only way to put things right.

Modified my BASIC interpreter to support multiline subroutines that take arguments and return values. Required a pretty significant overhaul of the runtime and environment objects to support preserving multiple scopes while following those calls. Fun times tho

Started adding graphics support to my #basic interpreter. Used https://t.co/fz7ZiME2EU for @libsdl bindings. V3 bindings were too difficult to get working. Used a truetype font from https://t.co/norDt9gS5J. Output goes to the SDL window, need to move the input to SDL next.

Working on a #BASIC interpreter styled after #Commodore 128 BASIC 7.0 #justforfun in #golang . Used https://t.co/CKmD5TIoFs as a guide. It's coming along really well! Lots of features left to come, but it can actually do some significant computations! https://t.co/t65Bm18I6s

15 years ago: "Managing selinux on our VM fleet is such a pain! We should just go to containers. Then we won't need this trash!" Today: "I'm here today to talk about Tetragon, which is selinux for kubernetes clusters and containers." Bloody hell. It's the same crap, forever.

#WEBFISHING is a rare gem of a game. Fun, simple, social in all the right ways and none of the wrong ways, and it runs reasonably well on almost anything. (This fish was caught on a 13 year old laptop.) Check it out if you haven't already

That moment when you spend a day looking at the code, wondering what's wrong, then you spot that one mistake you made in a fundamental bedrock component that's going to ruin the next week of your life https://t.co/i13gvKMh0R

The Properties API is a seriously cool sleeper feature of @libsdl v3. It's not the best hashmap implementation ever written for C, but it's good enough for most cases you'll need (including iterators), and it's already there. Seriously handy.

Man .... someone's really *getting what they need* from @opengameart this week. On the one hand, I'm really curious what game this is for; on the other hand, I absolutely don't want to know.
