Through the power of "grown-up money" I have mastered the element of air!
Who else occasionally checks if some LLM can regurgitate their own code back to them so I don't have to go find when/where I did something many years ago?!
I am a game developer after all... I should own a Steam controller, right?!... for testing, you know... It can go on the stand with the other controllers I rarely use, right?!...
I had a weird #gamejam idea: Surfer Farm. Top-down pixel view of beach-side waves where you "farm" surfers by influencing waves, rocks and other beach features, causing more or fewer surfers to sit on their boards waiting for waves. The surfers are the "crop", and it's a cozy farming game.
In me here are two ADHD wolves at war. One says: "You wasted all day, and now you have to do a day's worth of work in half an hour!" The other says: "You only have half an hour left anyway. Might as well play a quick game round!"
Joining this wonderful team to bring some of my SudokuPad UX experience to more puzzles!

The last two nights I woke up with words in my mind: Night 1: "Pump up the jam, I like the way I am" Night 2: "Isomer-rendered cyclene engine" What is wrong with me?
Sometimes ADHD is trying to fall asleep and barely managing to stay awake at the same time.
Here I am, just building my little blueprints, when I realised that apparently my activities BORE MY FACTORY! IT'S YAWNING!
So what does one do when the WSJ slaps your game app on their website without so much as an email or message?
@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social have you ever been involved with www.gathering4gardner.org ? It seems like a great place to rummage about TTRPG. Trying to figure out what I might be able to say about maths & gaming!

At some intervals I completely forget that my dog is a dog and am, quite roughly, shocked back to that reality by suddenly realizing his nose is REALLY long for a person, or that he has dense hair, like EVERYWHERE! Or that his toenails are curved and thicker than my own! It's really quite jarring.
Came across this at the park and can't figure out the button prompt to activate...
@realcarykh.bsky.social You latest sudoku video reminded me of some VFX I had experimented with in the early days of SudokuPad. Let me know if you ever want to collab and put something funky into SudokuPad! (Holy-moly is it hard to post GIFs anywhere these days!)
Real talk: How do you transition an app/game/tool from version 0.592.1 to 1.0? It's used by 40,000+ users daily, and has been in live operation for 5+ years...
So, I'd like to try some modern local co-op games (it takes two, split fiction, etc) with my gf, but she's new to modern controllers (last game she played was Crash Bandicoot!), so is there something we could both play to "learn" modern controls without stress? (I've learned via Elden Ring)
Why is my first instinct always to write code to do something rather than to check if an app already exists?! In this case to use mobile phone accelerometer data to record my dogs heart and breathing activity.
@piratesoftware.live Somebody has started pen-testing my sudoku app, and I feel like I've reached some kind of milestone!
@greyalien.bsky.social Hey, here are some screenshots (including palette) of my 1996 FONTEDIT.EXE that I build in Pascal/assembler and used for all my pixel fonts and sprites! Also some example of light/shadow stuff I did with it. (1/2)
@hankgreen.bsky.social Weird one, but I think I yelled at you (or you yelled at me) in a dream last night, something about sudoku. But the weirdest part was that I was wearing a green hoody with the string pulled very tight so all I saw was your face through a tiny, green circle... Like, huh?!
@excrubulent.bsky.social Sorry if this isn't on your radar right now, but have you ever wondered why fuel generators are this awkward shape? Are they mean to slot into each other??? You decide!
Better "Large Puzzle UI" support coming soon for SudokuPad!
SudokuCon@sudokucon.bsky.social · 2y agoWhat would a SudokuCon be without a giant interlinked forty puzzle grid?! Come along and add a digit or two!
Having a multiple world champion sudoku solver casually mention your sudoku tool as if it's the default feels really nice.
