Back in February I showed something I was working on for the NES. Turns out I gave that up because it was unstable and I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

So what I did is I started doing that game in Godot instead. Here's a screenshot of my (crude) WIP with placeholders:

Here is a little preview of a racing game that I am making with NESmaker, for Byte-Off 4. (very early stages, placeholder assets)

(Learning) Machine Learning

I have been studying machine learning recently and trying out different tools for it, here are some observations about IDEs in relation with ML (on Windows):

1. No IDE, just using the Command Prompt terminal and web browsers. That's the one I like less. The command prompt terminal keeps forgetting all the commands I used in the previous sessions. There must be some workarounds for that but I don't care enough to look for them. Also, the default UI for Jupyter Notebook is pretty crappy, gotta install and set up some themes.

2. VS Code. This one I like the most. It works well but I keep getting some bogus warnings about libraries not being imported properly, but it works anyways so... 🤷‍♂️ Also the UI in VS code is all right I find.

3. PyCharm. The Community Edition only allows to view the notebooks in Read-Only mode. There is no way I'm paying for the Pro version so that's it for that one.

What are your favourite tools?

I was on #Threads for a few days.

I did not interact with many people there, except for that one guy that replied "Nobody cares" to my #introduction post. I replied to him with "fuck you" and after that I thought that maybe I don't need another social media app. Like even #Twitter seems less toxic compared to what I saw so far on Threads.

I wasn't sure if I should post this on my gamer account or my personal one but I guess I'll go with this one (the gamer account) since I might reach more programmers this way:

I've been playing around with Robot Framework on my Steam Deck, so far it's on'e a very basic setup. For some reason, it will not open Chrome because it cannot find the chromedriver binary.

I tried many different ways: a manual install of chromedriver, tried a few packages from pypi dot org, tried homebrew (that's my go-to on Mac but it sucks pretty hard on linux AFAICT).

Any suggestions on how I can get this to work (apart from scanning the whole screen, reading the text and/or using image recognition)?

#linux #automation #python #pycharm #webdriver #selenium #robotframework

I just tried the game Wordtris on Super Nintendo and I had quite a bit of fun.

But of course, like in regular Tetris, at some point the blocks start falling reeaally fast so ... good luck!
