I'm fucking proud how cool the outcome is to pixelate in text mode and dither with braille characters.. I'll definitively experiment with this concept more and more towards animation and real time graphics in such "mode".. than just still images.

#tunerider achieved another milestone so I can park it for a moment again and come back to my LWO/LWS loader, LWOB works, now LWO2 is at stake before I carry on to LWO3 and node based material system. I always hated how assimp implemented Lightwave 3D support so I'll try to do it better myself this time.

To make the release even more complete:

Now it's on BBSes, ftp.scene.org, github and pouet.net

Now I can think about what to add into next version. There are continually ideas (aside of porting to other platforms, which eventually will come as well)

TuneRider by Oftenhide

demotool for MacOSX Intel, released in october 2025

My little #tui audio player for #macos silicon called #tunerider reached v0.3 today.

Still macos only but now it correctly shows all the metadata of files while pressing TAB and pauses/resumes playback with SPACEBAR and also renders correctly regardless if terminal is in dark or light mode with background vs foreground colors.

Final testing later today and it will go to 20-4-BEERS and Absinthe BBS for distribution.

#oftenhide production, #demoscene forever

It’s small code, standalone bunary under 600kB, and strong Cubic Player vibes. Gotta love it, I’ll keep ya updated when released

All right, this weekend is scheduled to fix some annoying bugs in my #TuneRider audio player.

- First a UI-non blocking file I/O. secondly to be resistant to terminal color layout changes (dark/light primarily, now it only works with dark themes well).

- Then I hope to come back to better visualise metadata (descriptions, album thumbnail as SIXEL)

- Then playlists and config files to sustain information like last folder visited or playlists database.

It's fun to consider that such a simple program can relatively quickly have a roadmap defined.

#TuneRider is available on 20-4-BEERS for download if anybody is interested to have a minimalistic, standalone local media player that is not distracting with all the modern internet nonsense #bbs #audio #player #mp3 #flac #wav #m4a #publicdomain #pd #enjoy #demoscene
