I've been exchanging postcards on Postcrossing ( https://www.postcrossing.com/ ) for years, it's very fun! I've even been to Postcrossing meetups, where several members gather to s…

It hasn't been the same since Comic Chat was discontinued

I'm rebuilding my RSS feed collection, and having pretty astronomy pictures is a fine addition. Thanks!

I wouldn't think it's very cost effective to apply GenAI to extract email addresses

I stopped being concerned about email harvesting years ago, I just simply leave the email on my website. Spam handling is okay enough, I guess. But I like this review of techniques…

I used Haxe a lot when OpenFL + HaxeFlixel were still more common. Haxe is a nice programming language.

I have mixed feelings with this. I've just checked out my GitHub repo and just realised that Claude itself inserted as a contributor without giving me a heads up it would do it.

Ricardo Quesada is also one of the creators of cocos2d, he's been around for a while!

Hi sillysaurusx, I've been in your place. I was 36 when I decided to separate, after 7 years of marriage/10 years of relationship with my first serious relationship ever. It was al…

I don't think that this simplification is useful. In the context of a user, crashing a program is a very disruptive process. Crash enough times, and a retail user might just ask fo…

That early 2000's web design style, love it!

Bogotá is 4 degrees north of the equator. Its climate is a bit temperate due to being in a high altitude plateau. But you better wear sunscreen anyway under tropical sun.

I am using Ruffle to keep my games playable, but AS3 support is still getting there. AS2 support is awesome.

Indeed, Flash UI is really its strenght, the way to draw and manipulate curves, I don't think I've seen anything like it after that, although illustrating is not my trade. However,…

Notice that it's still very much possible to produce SWF files with languages like Haxe http://haxe.org/ , and there are frameworks that mimic the Flash drawing API like OpenFL htt…

I had a start programming and doing little weird animations back in the early 2000s. Then I could earn a living doing stuff with Actionscript, little games on the web, or profile p…

I made a game with Adventure Game Studio about 20 years ago, and Windows being Windows, it still runs fine on modern Windows, although I lost the source to it. AGS is still a good …

https://www.ciroduran.com - Personal website, sporadical blog, mostly an archive of things I've done: music, videogames, software

Very impressed by the screenshots in the website. This is no small feat.

Raylib's author was very happy to announce that you can compile an entire raylib program with no dependencies other than, say, being a win32 app https://x.com/raysan5/status/198032…

In the last months I've been making a songbook with chordpro https://www.chordpro.org/ , amazing CLI program that produces a PDF from text files. I've been working on my own arrang…

Douglas Adams had something to say about this, I think

I've been making songbooks for my favourite songs. I am currently working on a songbook for some friends. I've found https://www.chordpro.org/ an amazing CLI tool, under active dev…

Slightly OG-offtopic, but there is a very good book about edible games! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edible-Games-Cookbook-Play-your-ebo...
