Do you prefer using the #fediverse while on mobile, or on a computer?

Props to @DavidB for the good question idea

GameLiberty is down, so I have to upload here.

Now that my Spy Hunter clone is complete, I am working on a platformer. I decided to make it a cross between VVVVVV and MegaMan. There will be enemies to kill, but instead of jumping, you change gravity. So it's basically a Metal Storm clone. But right now, all I have is the player moving left and right and flipping gravity.

I'm using CaveStory sprites as placeholders because I like my characters and tiles to be the same size, and Quote carries a gun.

Silly question: you decide to gift/sell someone a used laptop running something like kubuntu, what would be the best way to ensure you're also providing the source code for the #GPL software that's on it?
I am assuming gifting someone a gnu/linux machine isn't a GPL violation, but I'm not sure exactly why...

There are zero trans children, but there's an abundance of mentally ill parents.

Thanks to efforts by volunteers Nosamu and bai0, the Internet Archive's flash emulation just jumped generations ahead.

Mute/Unmute works. The screen resizes based on the actual animation's information. And for a certain group who will flip their lid:

We can do multi-swf flash now!

A pile of previously "broken" flashes will join the collection this week.

I want to make a platformer next, but I don't want to do a Mario clone. Does anyone have any ideas?

Nothing complex like a Metroidvania or even a Sonic clone (physics would be a nightmare).
