I recently found out this #opensource project about video game spaces, or "a digital museum of video game levels," as its creators described it. Within the webpage several levels are fully explorable, in order to better grasp their spatial qualities: https://noclip.website/

I've just checked out a #Clojure project I last worked on thirteen years ago, compiled it, ran its unit tests, and they all passed. I then ran `lein ancient upgrade :check-clojure` to upgrade all the dependencies to their latest versions, ran the unit tests again, and they all passed.
