Game developer and gaming enthusiast.
Working with code since ~1986 ... uff

Currently working on Slyceverse: Survivors.

I felt trapped by Big Tech and Big Corporations and now I am getting rid of them wherever I can. Using Open Source and shopping locally / European as my go to solution - feeling better since I started that journey.

Inspired by Germany's #DiDay ("digital independence day") and the Danish #DanmarkSkifter, the Netherlands now has #DoeiDag ("bye day"), every first Sunday of the month. 🔥🇳🇱

DoeiDag is a montly day to say goodbye to big tech and to try open alternatives. It's organized by the good folks of @doeidag

There are two things that would make me never want to leave the Godot Editor environment for scripting.

a) Detachable Debugger window with the value fields using more than 50% of the available space. (They are so tiny and the labels waste so much space)

b) Having a rename refactoring working across files and understanding Godot's autoload singletons.

Renaming Refactorings are one of the basics that I feel are a must have for any programming language IDE.

And it is a shame that the IDEs do not seem to work consistently for gdscript.

Godots own editor currently only has search & replace which is far from refactoring.

Rider rename is broken. (issue opened).

VS Code actually works locally, class level and solution level. But I couldn't get gdscript debugger to work.

Four solid months into my Linux journey, and I had a realization:

I will never need Microsoft Windows again, for anything. I really cannot express how liberating this feels.

It feels like escaping the matrix.

This is not acceptable, plain and simple.

I'm working on lots of buildings spanning multiple cultures for Cyclopean II. This involves sketching in my notebook, scanning then coloring digitally. I enjoy seeing the images evolve. Here is an unfinished phase that seems interesting.

Velxio is an open-source, self-hosted Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 simulator

Velxio is an open-source, self-hosted simulator for Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi boards that works directly in your web browser. You can drag-and-drop boards, connect components and modules, write and run code in Arduino or Python, and access the serial console, all without hardware. If it looks similar to what the Wokwi simulator has to offer, it's because Velxio was inspired by it and even integrates the AVR8 CPU emulator, RP2040 emulator, and QEMU fork for ESP32 Xtensa emulation from the Wokwi project. But the key difference is that Velxio can be self-hosted, although there's also an online demo. Velxio currently supports 19 targets across five architectures AVR8 (ATmega / ATtiny) Arm Cortex-M0+ (Raspberry Pi RP2040) RISC-V RV32IMC/EC (ESP32-C3 / CH32V003) Xtensa LX6/LX7 (ESP32 / ESP32-S3 via QEMU) Arm Cortex-A53 (Raspberry Pi 3 Linux via QEMU) The project also offers 48 components. The developer mentions that additional features compared to

OpenAI hired the OpenClaw guy, with Sam Altman declaring him a "genius with a lot of amazing ideas," in case you were wondering about the AGI company's ability to evaluate intelligence.
