I really do hate scrapping projects, but I seriously can't deal with this tedious shit right now.

Fuck it. I might have to scrap this project. I can't constantly tinker shit. And deal with broken compatibility with the level editor and game itself, while also having two modes.

I might redo the dungeon crawler project since I've been working a lot on procedural generation.

Ugh. Incorporating horizontal levels in a vertical platformer has made the code a huge mess.

There have been some really cool developments in the world of Haiku

So apparently, I broke compatibility between my game and level editor and I'm still trying to figure out how.

although SETI was just a pipe dream, the fact they would even seek to corrupt this organization proves we're never going to the stars as long as they are in control.

The ideal way to stay alert is to undermine their ability to manufacture reality, this is a permanent goal that's outside a reactionary timeline. This is why I highlighted Dr Couey's work, because if there was anything people should learn from the Covid Crisis, it's that they're not above breaking a few eggs (innocent lives) to make their omelettes (psyops).

This may sound harsh, but I'd argue raising the alarm about every potential new mass event is counter-productive (puts people in perpetual fear, at the risk of their mental faculties) when compared to more careful analysis and revisiting of what actually drove the events. I think this is how much of the alt-media
has been weaponized against truth-seekers, so many leads but so little time to follow them all.

I know you mean well, and I'm not trying to criticize you directly, just the pattern.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO PAY ATTENTION AND READ THIS!!!

The WEF is holding yet another table-top exercise for a "hypothetical" pandemic. This one claims to be 20x more fatal than COVID (whatever that means).

Remember that the WEF, Gates Foundation, and John Hopkins foundation participated in a similar exercise mere weeks before the first COVID outbreak. They are planning this shit well in advanced.

Share this as far and wide as possible! They might second guess doing this if more people are aware. Just imagine if more people were aware of the Event 201 exercises when the first COVID outbreak happened.

I tried my hand at a more traditional roguelike dungeon generator using this algorithm (roguebasin.com/index.php/Dunge). The results were more cave-like than I expected. It only uses rooms and corridors, but it doesn't really place them logically, only if it is right next to a wall.

I should try BSP dungeon generation next. It should give more "dungeon-like" maps.

Don’t bother checking the news regularly. Just take a screenshot of this toot and glance at it every once in a while.

Today’s Headlines:
- Bad Things Happened, Totally Preventable, Politicians Did Nothing
- Politicians Did Stuff That Resulted in Bad Things Happening

Decided to do more practice with procedural generation. For years I always put it off thinking it was too tough to make a dungeon generation algorithm, but then I decided that I could start of by creating Zelda-like dungeons given that the first Zelda game had dungeons using premade rooms that fit on a grid.

I wrote a simple dungeon generator in Java and here are the results. The generator does have a bias for L shaped dungeons though.

what do you bet they don't release all those games drm-free like they said they would do if steam were to shut down for some reason :blobcatanime:

@coolboymew NewGrounds now lets you upload a .zip file containing an index.html, which it displays in an iframe.

I would copy that format. My product name for it is an "Experience".

A "Submission" is a full page dedicated to an Experience, but Experiences could also be embedded in posts or displayed elsewhere.

It's still a rough idea.

There's another idea I have. It relates to archive.org

archive.org is an advanced file viewer that lets you preview nearly any type of file in the browser. An Experience is really just a file format, so it could render those, but it could also render things like GameBoy ROMs, 3D models, Animal Crossing pattern files, and other rare formats.

The end product is something between NewGrounds and Archive.org. It's built on Nostr, but it maybe also has IPFS capabilities because it seems like it should.

And if you look at NeoCities for inspiration, they've done a good job attracting a youth audience and they teach people how to code. Capturing that audience would be key.
