since @eidolon.photon.institute beat me to Moon Child on SDL, i might move directly on to a Dreamcast port. wish me luck yall :3

Almost forgot… 😅 The license of the Moon Child source files is:

bitbucket.org/rhinoid/moon...

Now go forth and create! 😃

about to take a break, but here's where i'm porting Moon Child to SDL3:

github.com/erysdren/moo...

by the way, what is the license for this code? still freeware-non-commercial like the archive you posted?

Having received so much love for our good old #MoonChild game, we are happy to give love back to the game community by releasing the Moon Child source files + assets.

Details can be read in the ReadMe text. We're looking forward to see what you're going to create! 💚

bitbucket.org/rhinoid/moon...

i wanna port it to Dreamcast!!!

I proposed to our coder, Reinier van Vliet, to release Moon Child's source files, and he agreed, so I'll post an update about this soon! 🙂👍

owie

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

hello vintage computer people!! i bought these two computer data tapes of unknown origin from a thrift store in the midwest in 2019. they've been sitting in a box in my parents garage ever since. do y'all think it'd be worth trying to find someone who could retrieve their contents?
