i posted earlier about working on a lightweight embedded ethernet stack for a particular STM32 microprocessor on a commercially available dev board. i got it working and was happy with the results, and since it was a 40 year old open standard implemented on some test hardware we won't use in our actual product i suggested that we open source the code in the hopes that some other nerds might try it out and maybe contribute some bug fixes/optimizations/do-this-to-be-more-standards-complient kind of input. unfortunately the safest answer for an IP lawyer to the question "can i open source this code" is "no". they work slow as gently caress in general, but apparently if you tell them that you're specifically not trying to make money off of something you get kicked to the bottom of the priority list. so i got a nifty project that i can't share with the world. yet. mood:

did some tinkering with interpreting twine's ".twee" text format from decker: http://beyondloom.com/decker/goofs/minitwine.html trying to decide whether i should go further with it. maybe i could make a little "twine-player" contraption that can send events to the deck when certain things happen?

did you know you can actually buy terminals with CRTs in them and just use them get a VT420 and an LK401 or an HP 700-series and go to town like it’s 1989 and your school or job hasn’t replaced their minis with PCs or workstations yet

it’s actually pretty fun to hang a RPi with NetBSD off one, it feels very traditional to use BSD like that

Yep cool-retro-term is the one. Lots of options, too. I like the little vertical scanline that rolls across the screen. My pi is burning so many cycles just making this work, it feels so weirdly & gloriously wasteful.

you should get a TeleVideo 925 they’re cute, they work great, and they’re really easy to maintain and even hack (being 6502-based with socketed ROM, as well as sockets for extra RAM and charset ROMs)

  my custom game is coming right along it’s sort of a roguelike where you pick a hero and run through a labyrinth full of randomly spawning enemies and bosses. you make your way to the end, pick up a macguffin, and then make your way back out fighting harder enemies. the map tools are kinda fun to use I’ve figured out how to make dummy objects on the map as spawn points, so mostly now what I need is to customize the heroes and enemies. and figure out simple ai. it’s been a lot of trial and error since the documentation is so sparse but I’m making progress and I feel like a cool hacker

this is cool. what are you using to make it? did you make the art asset’s yourself? I’ve been spending the last month or so learning godot and working on a little game idea of my own. but so far I am just working on the foundation of certain mechanics and haven’t spent any real time on a ui or level design at all, which tbh is the most intimidating part because I am not a terribly creative person. my idea is basically a inventory management hoarding simulator where you exist in a ruined world and you have to survive by scavenging for tools and parts by salvaging what you find. so far I have a system for procedurally spawning items and structures and a way to define how they break down, the required tools to do so, and how your skills affect your work speed and success chance. Ive also been playing with midjourney for textures because there is a —tile flag that will make perfectly tiling images, and you can also tell it to make variations so you can mix and match tiles making it harder to spot repeated patterns

polyester concept posted:this is cool. what are you using to make it? did you make the art asset’s yourself? just using Valve’s Dota 2 workshop tools. it’s a modified version of Hammer basically, and you can customize pretty much everything with Lua code. the assets are all from the base game, though the map is custom. it’s a nice diversion from having to make everything from scratch in blender, I can focus on the code and iterate rapidly. quote:I’ve been spending the last month or so learning godot and working on a little game idea of my own. but so far I am just working on the foundation of certain mechanics and haven’t spent any real time on a ui or level design at all, which tbh is the most intimidating part because I am not a terribly creative person. right on, one of the more practical and innocuous uses of midjourney I’ve heard

I've been doing the same thing with stable diffusion to make textures for 3d modeling. It's especially handy because in addition to generating stuff from scratch, I can feed it a reference photo, describe it, and tell it to make a tiled version of the same.

I’ve wondered if a pipeline to generate themes for websites and UI elements and such existed… I know the coding side exists and people have created UIs using css and such. but I’m thinking more of custom fonts, custom UI elements and buttons, backgrounds, watermarks etc

I’ve got it set up so the antimage boss can monitor your mana pool and cast his mana void ability when it gets below a threshold. now I gotta make it so when his health is low he teleports away and tries to use a healing salve. it’s pretty easy I must say

Can anyone recommend a good (preferably free) weather API? I need hourly forecasts going 5 days into the future, temperature and wind speed & direction. Openweathermap.org seems real good but I've got no idea how accurate it is, there's also weatherapi.com but their website is buggy and seems poo poo so I have low confidence in them.

I've been using openweathermap.org for years, though I can't speak to its quality or accuracy as I just use it for a scrolling LED sign with the current weather/15 hour forecast.
