    This is a game I am actively working on made with Java and Libgdx. The game is free, but closed source for now.

    Probably portable executable. The file format .exe files.

    If you do chords it sounds kind of bad and I miss a hihat. Other than that pretty cool! good job.

    Criticising Buddhism has it's place but the average westerner is not at a level where it's appropriate to do it. 99% of people need more buddhism, not less.

    Isn't it accepted knowledge that all the strains just differ in strength? It's either more or less psilocybin and nothing else in the mushroom would change the type of effect you g…

    It's great for a command line editor. I don't know why anyone would use it in a desktop environment though.

    Better start with something like Ableton. Tons of tutorials on youtube and the interface makes it much more clear what is actually happening. These trackers are built around the li…

    yeah but if you are really in need for low-poly models I see no reason why you wouldn't use regular 3D software. The interface of this is tiny as it runs on PICO-8.

    Basic also has tons of dialects that are still alive and is not just used for office macros. Visual Basic was a big language for desktop applications at one time. Edit: Just looked…

    Yeah you need the raw stuff that is not heated. There is usually some firm honey in there and not just a fluid substance.

    Respect to the developers for their effort. But I would never get into dwarf fortress because to me the idea is kind of insane. I get that it is fascinating to try and model comple…

    Besides fun, is there any real use to coding these ?

    It's just the natural progression of anything really. Nobody would argue that you shouldn't drive a car because modern machines were used to build it. This kind of art will be infl…

    Sometimes you are forced to write a garbage test because there is not much to say about some simple code in terms of tests.

    At the company I am working 80% of the code needs to be unit tested or you won't be able to commit. This results in tons of useless unit tests and you learn to restructure classes …

    What is the point of making it "as hard as possible" for people? This not a game release. It doesn't matter if it's cracked tommorow or in a year. On open source no less, it's goin…
