"There can be no meaningful change if the responsibility of change is placed on those that are harmed the most."

I just hit publish on a blog post I've had sitting around since December about Spellcaster, a lost programming language for teaching for the Apple II and Commodore 64 https://blog.information-superhighway.net/spellcaster

here's another demo of an exported game--hopefully working as you would expect a bitsy-like to work

* arrows / wasd keyboard movement
* touch movement based on continuous dragging
* scales in integer multiples above 512x512 and fractionally below that

welcome any feedback on if anything about the presentation/interaction in the demo seems broken or off or annoying--especially on mobile

shoutout to all you fuckers creating videogames that get lost in the abyss but still do it anyway.

Poking around in eXoDOS and played Blue Ice for the first time in a couple decades. Look at this fucking game! You grab the sun from the sky and put it in your inventory!

#Blender’s new asset browser basically turns it into a video game, it’s pretty much The Sims at this point. Drag and drop and done – this will make things a lot easier for 2D artists who use it as a base for paintovers. Mind-blowing. 🤯

i just noticed something: some people are including descriptions of their profile pics and header images in their bios. my reaction is,

why tf that never dawned on me before???

just added descriptions to my bio, and i highly recommend you do as well.

Been lurking here for a few days, time for a post! Got some printed versions of my phd reports, so if anyone from my 9 followers here missed the twitter post, DM if you want me to save you a set... trying to distribute them to schools / teaching contexts primarily :D
