One problem with LuaJIT is its tendency to aggressively gc CDEF'd objects. The only ways to stop this behavior seem to be turning the JIT compiler off, or using a C backing array. This makes it difficult to use SDL3's properties API to store tile pointers by (not necessarily consecutive) id because gc will eat them. The best I could do was have a backing array of tiles and map ids to indices in the properties.

OR... or... store each object in its own array...

I wanted to understand my tools better, and I figured out how to do algorave/livecoding with Tidal Cycles from Neovim with no plugins and just a bit of my own code!

It was a fun project, and it's reassuring to know I'm able to do that on my own.

I always wanted to build a little game out of "21", the Resident Evil 7 DLC which is basically blackjack with special effect trump cards. I just gave it to #Codex just for fun and it basically one-shotted a working game here. I have pixel art cards, a soundtrack, UI sound effects. Will keep working on this just to see how far I can get with it. It's built with LÖVE and #Lua, like Balatro.

Still no auth logic, but it can now also process \S and \S{VAR} to show values from /etc/os-release with /usr/lib/os-release as fallback.

Fixes: **Slice Tools Dialog — now with collapsible sections**
The Slice Tools Dialog was getting tall — 11 sections is a lot of buttons\! Each section now has a checkbox next to its title. Untick it to collapse that section and shrink the dialog down to just the tools you actually use. Your choices are remembered between sessions, so set it up once and forget about it.
