After years of requests, it's finally here 📖

A physical back-up of all my 60,000 game assets. Each page features a high fidelity print, perfect for analog developers. No more reliance on the web or the cloud. It's yours, forever.

Available soon!

Beautiful!

ASCII fighter ship and asteroid designs for March’s microgame, Asciiroids. Creating ASCII art is strangely satisfying in a way I can’t quite describe.

Thanks for reposting!

Oh man, that’s an awesome idea. I might try that next!

Woah cool, I’d love to try it out on some microcontroller code. I’d recommend checking out Claude Code as opposed to ChatGPT. I’ve had great luck with web languages like JavaScript, but haven’t tested it with Arduino or the like yet.

ASCIIROIDS 👾 Here’s a WIP of my microgame for March. It’s like Asteroids, but with ASCII art!

I’m using Claude Code to help me with development and it’s a game changer (hah).

Do y’all use AI to help with game dev? Why or why not?

Thanks Kenney!! ❤️

🎮 NEW QUEST UNLOCKED 🎮

Starting this month, I’m diving into a 12-month micro game challenge! One tiny game every month for a year. I’ll be exploring different game engines, formats, and programming languages. Stay tuned! 👾

Could AI models be conscious? YouTube video by Anthropic

Could a mathematical being achieve consciousness? How do we define consciousness in the first place? Could AI systems have a type of consciousness that’s fundamentally different from humans?

Very compelling questions from this interview with AI researcher Kyle Fish.

Hah, well I like to think of Bob as a glass half full kinda guy. I mean he wants to live on the moon!

“It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Learning how to update dictionaries in #python. Wrote this little test script. I think I want to be friends with Bob.

some_guy = {'name': 'Bob'}
some_guy.update({'likes': ['water', 'food']})
some_guy.update([('dislikes', 'cats')])
some_guy.update(dreams = 'live on moon')
print(some_guy)

It's #NationalPoetryMonth, here's Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt's "Spheres of Interest" (1979)

Creating ASCII art using the command line is exactly as exciting as it sounds 🤓❤️👾

Here’s a sneak peek at my progress so far. The goal is to create an ASCII film using raw video footage. More soon! #ascii #asciiart #codeart

Hello world!
