I'm in the process of the pulling the editor I wrote for Purgo into a stand alone library. #gamedev #pixelart #love2d

Rather than working on an actual project this evening I wrote a little snippet to fire an event every fixed period. paste.alexjgriffith.com/every.fnl.html #gamedev #fennel #love2d

Small thing, but @itch.io updated their dashboard page recently. They now let you choose how to sort your projects (by default is now last modified) and allow you to filter! No more scrolling through dozens of projects because your latest game starts with a W! #gamedev

Another small update to my LoveJS Player It will now scale the canvas in cases where the screen is too small. So games you build with the tool will now display well on mobile. alexjgriffith.itch.io/lovejs-player #love2d #gamedev #itchio

I haven't had much time for pixel art this summer. Took a bit of time this evening to draw some houses. This one was my favourite. #pixelart

The LoveJS player has been updated. You can now pass in a .love file with a top level lovejs.json with your settings and script.js which will be executed in the js side. alexjgriffith.itch.io/lovejs-player #love2d #gamedev

More autotiles! This time tall ones #gamedev #pixelart #love2d

For the lisp game jam this year I made a little tower defence game. My twist was that the enemies would take the shortest path to N targets. Spoilers, people did NOT love this! I've just pushed a patch that adds flow field visualisation alexjgriffith.itch.io/dfrost #gamedev #pixelart #lisp

Going to call day 10 complete! I did some balancing over lunch. There is still a difficulty spike at level 7, nothing insurmountable. If anyone runs into a game crashing bug I'll try and fix it before submissions lock at Midnight EST. alexjgriffith.itch.io/dfrost #lispgamejam #gamedev #love2d

The lisp game jam is wrapping up tomorrow! I've just finished my tower defence entry and am hoping to do one more balancing pass alexjgriffith.itch.io/dfrost

The love2d game jam starts Friday!! For those who want to try out some fennel with love2d I've written a mini guide to get you started! alexjgriffith.com/7.html #love2d #fennel #gamedev

Put together a blog on my approach to handling persistence when hotloading fennel modules in love2d. It has an accompanying love2d project to test out the approach for yourself, which includes an example watcher utility. alexjgriffith.com/6.html #gamedev #love2d

A few months ago I whipped together a little idle battler for the Lisp Game Jam in Love2D using fennel. I've finally got around to fixing the bugs and making the improvements recommended by the jam participants. alexjgriffith.itch.io/purgo #gamedev #pixelart

Lisp Game Jam is going well. So far I am only a little distracted writing a 1 bit tile editor... #gamedev #pixelart

The lisp game jam starts tomorrow! I just put up a post to help you get started using fennel and love2d. itch.io/jam/autumn-l... #lispgamejam #gamedev

Having a nice afternoon culling my awesomeWM config

Made a little static site with all the #lispGameJam submissions going back to 2016. Of course the generator was custom built with Emacs and elisp. lgg.alexjgriffith.com/index.html #gamedev #linux #emacs

Working on the UI for a little 1X game #gamedev #strategy #pixelart

The #lispgamejam starts tomorrow! itch.io/jam/spring-l...

The Lisp Game Jam starts on Friday!! itch.io/jam/spring-l... As part of the lead up to the Jam, I've been working on putting together a little template to get you started targeting a lua5.4 build of lovejs codeberg.org/alexjgriffit... #fennel #lisp #love2d

Finished up adding a pathing example to libhex The weighted a-star search is much nicer than my old depth first search approach codeberg.org/alexjgriffit...

Took a little detour this evening and implemented an island generator codeberg.org/alexjgriffit... #pixelart #gamedev

Working on a little simplex noise island generator

Turns out writing a shader to outline pixel art is dead simple #pixelart #gamedev #love2d
