Halftime for the latest Principia building contest Daft Dummy! One player has submitted an entry so far.
The contest runs until Monday next week so you have plenty of time left if you want to participate!
Hello and welcome to the fourth Principia building contest. This time we are doing a re-run of the old [Stupid Dummy!](/archive/contest/3) contest from back in the day, but with an alliteration as the title. Fun! The theme is to create a fun or interesting way of taking the dummy from one point to another. Let him fly in a rocket, cut him into pieces, deliver him in a plastic cup or just send him through a Rube Goldberg machine. Please clearly mark the starting point and ending point of the dummy's journey. ## Rules - Only one level per player participating in the contest! - Old levels created before the contest are not eligible for entry. - Theft of entire levels is not allowed. Inspiration is allowed, plagiarism is not. ## Scoring Once the contest is over, a winner and a runner-up will be decided by the contest judge (ROllerozxa). Both will get their levels featured on the front page as well as awarded a stylish trophy badge on their user page. Depending on the amount of entries, there may be some other level entries that will be highlighted, for things that are interesting but didn't make it to the top.
The new Principia building contest has just started: Daft Dummy! It is a re-run of the old Stupid Dummy contest from back in the day, but with an alliterative title. Cool huh?
Once again, you have 2 weeks to submit an entry.
I urge all developers of #Android apps to NOT pre-emptively obey the new terms of #Google requiring you to sign up for the Android Developer Console.
It looks like Google is attempting a power grab and wants to prevent ALL installations of Android apps without official Google approval; even those installed outside Google Play.
This is an attack on both developer and user freedom and unacceptable.

A new version (libre19) of X-Decor-libre, the decoration mod for #Luanti is out now! It mostly fixes a bug with the item frame destroying items.
I now accept translations of this mod on <https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/xdecor/>. Contributions will be greatly appreciated. 🙂

If you’re looking for fully FOSS LLM models - not just open-weight ones, but those that also include training scripts, datasets, and checkpoints - here’s a list of some of the recent:
- SmolLM2, a series of strong small models
- SmolLM3, SOTA 3B model with dual reasoning, supports 6 languages and long context with strong function calling
- OLMo-7B/1B, slightly older models with shorter context size
- Pythia suite, a collection of 8 models with parameters ranging from 70M to 12B
This holiday I would appreciate it if you could donate (or boost this post).
This December marks three years since the first release of Principia as an open source project. It also marks five years since I began hosting principia-web which has since turned into the main community site with the game's open source release. Your financial support would go a long way to keeping that work going.
