@npub1qu5…4evr right i think this is sort of the opposite of what you want @npub1hds…7r3g

i've been meaning to port varvara to system 7, maybe seeing you do this will help get me motivated

@npub1upk…tcwy there's the issue that you might think you've quit the program, but it has left around child processes that become zombies, which might still be doing the task you thought you stopped

@npub1qu5…4evr let me know when you're going to be back in montreal. i'm not too far from there, would love to come up and say "hi"

@npub1qu5…4evr 🤩 that's awesome! merging now

if you've struggled to program music using uxn/varvara, this file might help you to get started: https://git.phial.org/d6/nxu/raw/branch/main/music.tal
it deals with some of the common pitfalls around timing and de-sync. it still won't be easy but at least it might be easier? 😅

@npub13le…6saf that's awesome! do you have any advice for others trying to get this working? was it relatively straightforward?

2024-08-07 04:40:55

kodiak version 1 is done!
there are still some things i'd like to add later but for a #uxn solitaire game this is fairly complete.
splash screen ✔️
animations ✔️
automatic moves ✔️
music ✔️
get the ROM and source code here: https://git.phial.org/d6/kodiak

@npub1c9m…9xjd I’m a bit younger than you and grew up in the US but I also mostly played my own home brew rules… I had a hard time getting ahold of “official” rulebooks and didn’t have a lot of money as a teenager

@npub1qu5…4evr I’m totally in favor of this backwards compatible change, especially if it means drifblim will get macro support!

kodiak, my #uxn klondike solitaire game, has entered the polishing stage. here's a video (with music) showing the basic gameplay.

@npub1y5h…7m3c i have my own copy of bella morte's first cd, which i have a huge attachment to and which can't be found online as far as i can tell (only the later remaster)

@npub1y5h…7m3c on the other hand i know folks who are super attached to their particular rip+mp3 encoding because they have a sentimental attachment to particular cd scratches or compression artifacts

@npub1qu5…4evr that depends, do you consider #uxn a catlang?

2024-07-09 13:47:39

@npub1upk…tcwy i end up using CFLAGS a fair amount to point the c compiler to where includes/libraries are. i do end up using LANG a bit to configure different text encodings. RANDOM is also very convenient sometimes.

in terms of systems i used, #MyFirstDistro was Solaris 7 (i think) which was installed in a lab at college.
in terms of systems i ran, #MyFirstDistro was an old x86 system that i set up as a server which ran #NetBSD 1.5.2 (and which i colocated at a friend's house for several years)
