RT @FelipeBudinich: I've updated my ImpactJs WebFont plugin to version 1.10 adding support for font weights

RT @CameleonTH: Finally, I can play videos (old school MPEG-1) in my engine, thanks to @phoboslab for pl_mpeg, an easy to use library. Now….

Out of nowhere Kleines Filmröllchen did a talk about image compression, with a focus on QOI

So Twitter trying to be smart about DOM updates and doing a diff first ends up 300x slower than innerHTML = '. '? Why are we complicating web dev so much? How can anyone propose with a straight face that the solution is yet another layer of abstraction?

(I really miss the old days where you could just, you know, link to stuff without this retarded dance).

Did you know that this WASM boi is 10x faster* than Float32Array.fill(0)???. This and other random observations in my new Blog Post “Synthesizing Music from JSON”. Link below. *in Firefox

I stand corrected.

At least Firefox and Safari have Uint8Array.fromBase64() but Chrome does not. Sigh.

It's almost 2025 and this is still the best way to inline a WASM module in JS :/

There's a lot of implementation details to write about, but I'm saving this for a blog post :].

Tracker with a the demo song (encoded in the URL): And the git repo with the vanilla JS, WASM and C versions and the tracker:

So, here it is. I spend a lot of time on implementing region selection, cut/copy/paste, undo and various keyboard shortcuts in the tracker, building a WASM version for the synth (2x speedup!) and making a nice API for the C version. Link in this thread.

Still adding some finishing touches for the tracker; will push to github soon - I hope.

Using this to generate sound effects gets rid of ~100kb of audio data AND adds the music track within 5kb of code size. You can play the game here:

The main reason I wrote the tracker was to have a nice way to generate sound and music in high_impact. To demonstrate, @NoFateNet made this absolute banger for my game Drop.

The song in the video is Chill by Ferris / Youth Uprising. You can also listen to some songs using Sonant-X in and - all made by my good friend @NoFateNet.

My new version supports lots of keyboard shortcuts, copy/paste and undo. I tried to make it as convenient as possible. I think it also looks cool with the color scheme shamelessly stolen from Orca (. Hope to finish it up this year!.

I used the Sonant-X library to produce the music and sfx in Q1K3 and all my other JS13k games. It's ingenious, but the tracker software has grown quiet old, so I decided to re-implement it on a clean slate.
