This + boat-induced motion sickness is probably wayyyy worse after getting used to zero G
New #gameassets โจ
I've created 150+ light cookies/masks compatible with all game engines that support this feature. Includes white on black, black on white and white on transparent backgrounds for each. CC0, public domain, all free!

Why not .gitignore?
You can't have a folder and a file in a directory with the same name :(
The reason I chose the name .ignore is because periods are sorted at the top, making it nicely tucked away from actual project folders
ex:
.ignore/
assets/
src/
vs
assets/
ignore/
src/
It's definitely one of the simpler things to set up in git! I wish I had done it sooner - I was constantly creating a folder and putting a .gitignore in it. Having it set globally removes that extra friction

Hot tip for git users!
Wanna add files (todo lists, notes, images, etc) to your project but don't want to commit them to your repo?
1) create a new folder (I call it `.ignore`)
2) create a global .gitignore with ".ignore" as its content
(guide for global .gitignore: stackoverflow.com/a/7335487)
Don't ignore the warning signs
Sounds like a good question to ask an LLM /s
Just released heerich.js, a tiny voxel engine that renders 3D scenes to SVG

โฎ Oblique & perspective
๐ฅ Zero dependencies

Start and end is my least favorite pairing, followed by open and close
Afro Index has finally launched! Itโs a visual reference library of Black hairstyles, good for artists, animators, writers, and anyone want to learn more about Black hair! Check it out at afroindex.org ๐โจ #digitalart
I should be mad but I'm just dumbfounded with the fact that that could even happen
I am speechless about the fact that I just accidentally restarted my PC by hitting the WinKey, fat fingering some other keys, and then hitting the R key
It's also so wild to see how I coded 2014-2019. I'm finding things I wouldn't do today, and patterns I had forgotten about
However, PHP has gotten sooooo much better since 5.4. I had to upgrade my server to support a change I made involving enums, which apparently were introduced in 8.1
They've adopted lots of features from other languages and smoothed out some of the clunky parts of the language
Still many tweaks I'd like to make, but this was a low-effort/high-reward change so I prioritized it.
Other changes are going to be a lot more involved, and it's a huge paradigm shift being back in PHP land after doing so much React/Next.js in recent years
Screenshot from 2019 showing what the gallery page looked like since 2014. All elements have sharp corners.
Screenshot from 2026 showing what the gallery page looks like with rounded corners added. Everything looks softer and more modern.
Before/after making some changes on my mom's bakery's website - border-radius (rounded corners) weren't a thing in 2014 when I first made this site
A much needed facelift :)
What I love most about this is that BOTH of you have cool stories to tell from the interaction :)
With Scrabble, I also had to do a lot of digging. They have tons of small things like the letter frequency/distribution, the board layout (2x, 3x tiles), and other minute details, but the actual gameplay is largely free to use/iterate on
IIRC from a former project, the word "tetrominos" is copyrighted, but the shapes themselves are not?
Starter Kit Match-3 for @godotengine.org is out now! It's a basic open-source implementation of the popular puzzle game type, perfect as a base. #gamedev

Far too niche to be asking the same price as a Switch 2
However, I do want to make a game for it ๐ Hopefully someone will post a DIY version in the coming months

Introducing FragCoord: My ultimate shader editing tool!
For those who knew Sandy Duncan (@lordoftheyoyo.bsky.social), you can leave condolence messages for the family here.
His Funeral details have also been released, and it will be streamed for those unable to attend.

Alternatively, if anyone knows of any repos/examples lying around the web (that have a license that allows me to use them non-commercially), that'd work too!!
Hey y'all! I've got a request for all the game devs out there ๐
Is there anyone using TexturePacker, Asesprite, or other tools to create texture atlases that would be willing to share their files with me? I'm having a hard time finding examples to test my importer

Ready... for what?!
Ditto. I grew up in MN & lived/traveled all over the US, have not seen any of these before. I vaguely remember a friend saying something about a "Food Mommy" store years ago, but I assumed it was a one-off store somewhere
