And here we have release 0.10.0.

Implementing basic lighting system gives me an opportunity later to introduce more interesting effects during the game

I wanted to add some lighting effects to Deer Portal. It felt natural that after board setup animation diamonds should light up ;) Lighting is cool isn't it?

After ten years working on the #deerportal — a little gift hehe — here's an explanation of the rules and meaning of the cards xD
Anyway, I managed to migrate to #SFML3, cleaned up the codebase a bit, and optimized performance from 100 FPS to 1000+! It’s now using C++17, so I can keep working on […]

Amazing, with help of Claude Sonnet 4 I have managed to migrated whole #DeerPortal to SFML 3, which I would definitely not have time to do it otherwise. I tried before with 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnet, but they failed. Now I can keep adding features to the game :) @sfml […]

Fuck, claude sonnet 4 is kind of amazing. Actually it did manage to convert sfml 2 to #sfml3 project :)

#deerportal welcome back ;D

Have less time now, but trying now with #cursorai #cursor to upgrade #deerportal to #sfml #sfml3. With claude sonnet 3.5 it failed, same with gemini. Trying now with claude sonet 4, it compiles after 50 tools call.
