The black hole swallows everything within range: enemies, lasers, collectibles, other power-ups, even background elements.
At some point I wanted to make it move towards your spaceship. I didn't do it, not worth the effort and breaking the idea that power-ups can only be helpful.

London! We are looking for a venue for the regular meetup in the North/Central area. Our Peckham venue got a private space (i.e. no noise issues) and is quite nice but it's a little far for some people. So we've been trying to alternate between North and South.
Can someone help us out? ๐Ÿ‘€

I made a retro-inspired arcade space shooter game using the Phaser game framework.

I worked on the art, programming and audio.

Feel free to try it out!: colinkiama.itch.io/last-one-fly...

hi bluesky! i wanted to start sharing my wip solo dev project

Triumvora is a game where you are a Creachure. what does a Creachure do? mostly, it eats and tries not to get eaten. but you can also find them staring at the sky, as if yearning for something... โœจ #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

That's it! You'll now be able to quickly clean up local branches with deleted remotes (Note: On Windows you may need to use a different terminal like Git Bash for this to work!) Thank you for reading!

Example of expected git config contents to see in git config file after adding `git sweep` alias:

[alias]
sweep = ! "git fetch -p && git for-each-ref --format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' | awk '$2 == \"[gone]\" {print $1}' | xargs -r git branch -D"

Example of expected git config contents to see in git config file after adding `git sweep` alias: [alias] sweep = ! "git fetch -p && git for-each-ref --format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' | awk '$2 == \"[gone]\" {print $1}' | xargs -r git branch -D"

Here's an example of what the config file should look like with the alias added:

Command for adding the `git sweep` alias:

git config --global alias.sweep "! git fetch -p && git for-each-ref --format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' | awk '\$2 == \"[gone]\" {print \$1}' | xargs -r git branch -D"

Command for adding the `git sweep` alias: git config --global alias.sweep "! git fetch -p && git for-each-ref --format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' | awk '\$2 == \"[gone]\" {print \$1}' | xargs -r git branch -D"

You can set it using the `git config` command or by editing the your git config file directly. Here's the command to set the alias with the `git config` command:

`git sweep` is a git alias I created that does the following: - Run the `git fetch --prune` command to delete all references to remote branches. - Find local branches linked to deleted remote branches (these are marked as "gone") then deletes them.

git sweep - Delete all local branches linked to deleted remote branches

git sweep - Delete all local branches linked to deleted remote branches

I wasted so much time deleting local and remote branches I was done with. Now, I delete my remote branches (e.g on GitHub) then run this command: `git sweep`. Local branches that track remotes are automatically deleted! Here's how to get started with this....

I finally feel like I'm at a point in my life where I know what I want to do and why I want to do it.

Now, the issue is finding the time to do things ๐Ÿ˜‚.

How do you guys manage your time?
