Who are the game designers you respect a lot?

After SigBovik, I suggest that you also play Patrick's Parabox ("https://patricktraynor.itch.io/patricks-parabox"), a recently released video game that is the kind of puzzle that you'll probably like.

I finished T in Y world use google at https://github.com/space-elephant/tinyworld-textmode/. Google is now the default. On April 23, it will be ten years since ludam dare 23. It uses google firebase storage to store levels, so you can now play other peoples levels, and create your own.
I have some basic extensions to the rules such as:
"-" is like a direction, but within any one rule, it can be any direction.
"a>", where ">" is replaced by any direction including "-", is like "> ", but works whether or not it is space.
"r>" can be used for remote rules, like | ... | from puzzlescript.
Any platform with a terminal should work, as long as it has the required libraries. If it doesn't work on your system, create an issue and I will try to fix it.

Hi Tom7.
Happy Pi Day!
From your sidewalk chalking partner in crime.

Excited to watch the video!!!

Asking this same question again: I still hope it will work on Mac OS again.

Call of duty in 4k was so awesome. I loved the campaign bc it had a good balance of tactical shooting and just going in. The story line kept me on the story mode all day. https://www.downsights.com/ says this game looks amazing we can't even believe what the future of gaming will look like at this point.

You know it's really old when you see follow on Google +.

I think I have been part of this movement for a long time without knowing. The only part of the movement I fail at is sharing the resource.

By the way, you have a cool YouTube channel. I can't believe you needed a PhD to be a part-time YouTuber.

Peace, I'm out.

PS: I doubt anyone would read this.

Fuzzy: Yes, a great album! But thank you for the tip as I always want to know about these things but don't have a systematic way of keeping up :)
jonas: Is that true? Dang... the last boss was kinda hard so I didn't want to fail the escape, since I thought you'd reset to the last save. I screwed up my quest!

Hey, the Mac version doesn't work on the latest versions of Mac OS. I tried loading but all I get is a blank screen. Any chance of an update please?

There is a new largest base-5 prime in town!

Don't you get to keep the pixels though if you time out during the escape and retry?

Speaking of music, I remember you saying you liked Jay Som a couple years back. Have you tried this collab album she made this year called Doomin' Sun? It's outstanding!

Also the concert was postponed for almost a year, so maybe I will be able to go!

Thanks for the fontadvice.

So are you just autoencoding a game with it's own representation, or something slightly more fun like training on mario and then using the network on zelda? Hmm, could be fun to encode on snes mario and the use the network to visualize nes mario.

I have the same question; is there someone else on here? I believe that Free Hero Mesh now has the features capable of implementing Escape (including bizarro world and order of execution) (if the levels are not bigger than 64x64). (If the puzzles of Escape include the solutions, then automatic testing of the conversion will be possible too.)

second page of google results. the world has crumbled.

also, i had this nightmare that the logical conclusion of pac tom is you move to another city.

i'll go put on some "rutgers" and "i'm a proof" to steady my breathing

Thanks folks! Happy birthday to you too!
I certainly didn't invent FixedSys but it's true that I use some form of it in an awful lot of my projects, partly because I used a modified bitmap version of it in Escape, and I end up cloning "font.png" into most of my SDL projects. (Oddly I am able to resist the urge to make a new font at the moments where I think: "I need to render some text!")

Since TTF uses integer coordinates, it seems to me that you get perfect results if you size the grid so that the source pixels fall exactly on the grid, and then just outline the shape. It seems to help to explicitly turn off anti-aliasing when rasterizing it, too, although only if you are super picky (I am).

If you want to try to convert a font, you could try my "makesfd" here (it's just standalone C++17):
https://sourceforge.net/p/tom7misc/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/bit7/
although you probably need to manually make the input image (see e.g. fixedersys.png and its associated cfg file). You have to load the generated SFD format with FontForge to actually generate the TTF. It's also possible that FontForge already has a way to do this, especially if you already have some kind of font file.

The NES images pictured are basically just an autoencoder I was using to test out, yes!

Yes that's what I meant about Monkey Island!
"2nd playthrough" was about Cave Story, but I was referring to the upside-down part of SOTN. If there's a NG+ or something I never tried it :)

The particle board that is used today in construction is made out of various types of trees, for, pine, alder, cottonwood. When these trees are brought to the chip mill that have mushroom spore already attached to them, whether it be from natural mutation on the tree or if spore was smeared on the tree somewhere at sometime during the processing of the tree from the forest.
These tree are cut into chip and hauled to another mill which gathers all the chips together and flattens them into construction particle board, this the mushroom spores are already impregnated into the material.
The spore can go thru a lot of conditions and remain dormant until the perfect conditions arise and thus the mushroom comes back to life to self-propugate, it being in your bathroom, under your bed, the kitchen sink area, where the conditions proved.

Is this just an autoencoder or is something more fancy going on?

I too have fond memories of monkey island sword fighting (I assume you are talking about the final boss fight where all the comebacks are different).

How is the 2nd playthru of sotn different? You don't mean the upside down part do you? It just feels like more of the same to me....
