This game has taken 7 months to make. That's far too long for a simple little platformer like this.

But I poured a lot of *me* into this game.

I've put a lot of my thoughts, feelings, worries, desires in here.

It's about Identity, Imposter syndrome, the hoops we have to jump through in society. It's got a lot of allegory in there.

Writing it has left me mentally exhausted.

But I needed to make this game.

Getting back into that game dev saddle.

Demo successfully shows that *this* *was easy* *for everyone*.

I became tired while writing the codes so it's a story told through pictures and a video clip of #emacs.

Encourage me to write it up later. lispy-gopher-show.itch.io/lisp

A lisp defparameter *game* of a roughly 10x10 grid of unicode sine squiggles ("water"), a circle (starting location), some tiles ("ground") and a black star "goal location". It's in an emacs orgmode src block, of the lightfield default emacs colorscheme. After defining the display-list, I guess it (run-frame-top-level *game*)s.
emacs "executing lisp code block" on the other screen shot's code block. A GUI window has popped up which is a table of weird unicode characters. The menu bar across the top has Spawn, Up, Down, Left, Right. There's a grinning cat face with a spiral pathway to a star. There are usefully working scrollbars.

So turns out during this weekend Movistar (a phone provider in Spain and other countries) completely blocked all CloudFlare IPs to "stop piracy" because some pirate sites use CloudFlare to avoid DDoS, this block was made at the request of La Liga, the Spanish football league.

This is very akin to how #itch_io got taken down by their registrar due to a copyright issue with a user that used their site, only with like half the bloody internet.

If you like to read fantasy and want to avoid the big megacorps and want to support an indie author and buy Canadian and you love a great deal... I've got you covered!

I've just dropped the bundle price for the first 3 books in my Arcanium series by 50% ONLY in my Itch shop. You get the .epub and .mobi files for each of the books so you can side load to whatever device you use. And you'll be all up to speed when book 4 comes out later this year! 😊

➡️ nptwrites.itch.io/the-arcanium

The covers for the first 3 books in my Arcanium series (River of Crows, Mirror of Wolves, and Stone of Serpents against a light blue background. Text scattered around the covers reads: -portal fantasy -siblings -Chosen One (...or maybe not...???) -tyrant emperor with dark magic -new friends become there-for-you-always friends -enchanted army of birds --grumpy gardening sorcerer with an apothecary shop -really evil henchman -awesome origami magic -a crow with a white feather -magic manifests differently for everyone -told from multiple points of view

#valentine #heart #drawing #lisp #gamedev 2: @dougmerritt's reckoning

lispy-gopher-show.itch.io/lisp

this one is kinda #commonLisp #McCLIM #code dense, solving two problems:

- we never close and reopen windows (except by accident): It updates dynamically in this one

- Instead of lame straight lines we use some random #mathematics doug found.

- Since the window updates dynamically, I just incrementally guessed my way to the new heart.

Two squiggly black lines that sorta look like they could work as the bottom of a love heart.
Finished curvy love heart outline in red in its own window.
Two-circle top of a love heart in red, with the love-heart-bottom translated and scaled to match it (in black ink)
The original flat-bottomed love heart, but now with two random black lines dashed from the top left at a 45 degree incline.

I wrote up what I was trying to share on the show about my usual-approach to #git and #asdf #systems (in #lisp). #programming #itch #itch_io #devlog #gamedev er, sharpsign technical discussion. #commonLisp.

Aptly titled. If you know A Better Way, I would like to talk about that here.

Or, also if you currently use a language that works very differently to this.
