The tombola effect looked a lot better in my head when I first imagined it 😆

I’m trying to make a tombola effect to pick random numbers for the bingo grid using the rapier2d physics engine. Sometimes the balls fly out between the joints of the sides of the tombola. I have no idea what I’m doing 😆

I figured out how to use JavaScript closures from Rust and then rewrote all the JS parts in Rust so there’s now only 2 lines left of JS, phew. I also added some cheesy sounds using the html5 audio API (I dunno how to capture them in the video though…)

Experimenting with rust+wasm+webgl. Seems like quite a nice platform. The repo can also build a native version with SDL. https://github.com/bpeel/diveno

If you wanted to watch the second episode of the series and you were confronted with this DVD menu, which one would you pick?

I tried vkrunner on Android. It was surprisingly easy to get a compiler for android with rustup and then point Cargo to use the NDK linker. Then the vkrunner binary it generated just worked in termux on my phone without any changes. Neat!

Now it is tempting to try and make a little app with a UI where you can paste in a script and have it run and see the output for maximum ease of testing.

All software should have a cat testing phase. She’s already managed to make Firefox and emacs hang.

Wow, this game looks amazing and it’s #FOSS and written in rust. How cool is that?

I finally finished #AdventOfCode. I was stuck on day 22 for a quite a while. In the end I got something working but I’m not really happy with it so I might have to go back to it at some point. I’m pleased with myself for doing all of the puzzles without looking up any hints. I did them all in Rust except day 21 which I did on my phone in Python before I realised I could just as easily write rust on my phone.
