@javionearth thanks for sharing! that's a fantastic run—I had no idea you could open the inventory to avoid damage from the spinning obstacles 🤯

I still make the odd game or two now and then, but they mostly go unreleased. Definitely have me thinking about doing another zeldalike though 🤔

Something I've been wanting to do a twitter thread on for a while: The way games "Break Down" as you play them.

fantastic video from @FreyaHolmer on curves & splines! I wish every math video in the world was as beautiful https://t.co/9ZhJhsQM57

enjoy one last cat pic before the end ✌️

it fell through the cracks in my algorithm ("hmm" is considered a valid word, and this puzzle just happened to have no solutions without it) but that was not explanation enough to make them feel better about breaking their two-month perfect win streak

[connor ullmann @ullcon]

yesterday's puzzle in my word game required you to consider "hmm" a word in order to find the solution and I got quite the stern call from my parents to explain myself

@NoelFB the variety that came out of a bunch of simple force/distance rules like that is crazy... to think that those simple n^2-body gravity sims people often make early on in their programming career were already like 80% of the way there is just an extra layer of 🤯

[connor ullmann @ullcon]

I watched this recently and it's a fantastic example of complex, emergent behavior from simple (like, really simple!) rules

highly recommend!

[Amit Patel @redblobgames]

Watching https://t.co/HBGahGPgJy by @braifun ; starts out showing the cool simulation, then shows how to code that simulation

I haven't been drawing for a while but felt inspired recently

I had a great time playing @cultofthelamb recently and couldn't help but draw up part of the main menu screen after!

@TomSennett I have this vague design mantra around Lucky Charms. Use procedural "endless" stuff to fill the gaps around more notable, cool, authored things. It's much easier to stretch into practical infinity when you can just put the next amazing secret thing at thisLevel+100.

[connor ullmann @ullcon]

@NoelFB it's funny that for the first time in years I was thinking about diving into Unity for a 3D project idea since I've at least got a little experience with it... but now it's feeling like a real good time to try learning Godot or something instead

[Alan Hazelden/Draknek & Friends @Draknek]
