Sometimes I make art, sometimes that art is games. Mostly I just tinker with code and accomplish little.

@unormal thanks for the new word.
Forty minutes climbing at the gym makes everything feel better... except my raw hands and noodle arms.
Exercise almost always cures my malaise I wish I hadn't spent so much of my life pretending it wasn't necessary.
Working on a Monday between a weekend and a holiday is butts. I should have taken today off.

Updated "greek task list":

orphean task: when you almost succeed, but lose everything the moment you turn around to check your progress.

daedalean task: when you’re forced to design something brilliant and functional… that you yourself will inevitably become trapped inside.

medusan task: when your project becomes so horrifying that everyone involved freezes in place rather than deal with it.

tantaline task: when success is right there, but bureaucracy or budget cuts keep snatching it away at the last moment, forever.

pandoran task: when fixing one small issue unleashes a thousand new ones, but hey — at least there’s still hope somewhere in the ticket backlog.

odyssean task: when the assignment technically has an end, but it’s buried under so many side quests that you forget what the original goal was.

narcissian task: when the entire effort is about maintaining appearances rather than achieving anything of substance.

promethean task: when you give people a powerful new tool that could transform their work — and are punished eternally for doing so.

orestian task: when the mess you’re cleaning up is the direct result of the last cleanup you performed.

thesean task: when the only way to finish is to disassemble everything piece by piece — until you’re no longer sure if what’s left is the same project you started.

achillean task: when your work is flawless except for that one fatal oversight that will, inevitably, destroy you.

penelopean task: when you diligently undo by night what you accomplish by day, just to keep the stakeholders pacified.

midasean task: when everything you touch turns into paperwork, compliance documents, or gold-plated nonsense nobody actually needs.

gordian task: not intended to be actually done, but violence is the answer.

@britown so induce vomiting and hope for the best, then? My dog's never seemed to notice the existence of mushrooms, but I'd be worried if he ate any of them - even the innocuous looking little brown mushrooms can be deadly and they're impossible to identify.

Hope your pup is okay!

Halloween was yesterday, but you won't say no to some ghost will you?

This is Knighthood Trial, where aspiring knights used to come to prove their worth. Now all that is left is the ghosts of knights of a bygone era...

Took this from ~2fps to 30fps. It's still a lot of squares to draw for p5 and if they all change at once it chugs again.

I might need to change the way I'm drawing things if it gets too complicated, but for a mostly static screen it works well.

Everything else I worked on this week doesn't lend itself well to visuals. Optimizations for particle rendering because it was just outrageously slow. I separated the display map out to do chunked drawing of only rectangles where change occurred. It's mostly good, a little artifacting to clean up.
