A vote for make more effects! |

I don't remember the rules about parentheses. :) I think some things that seem like they should be symmetric aren't, because you need to do the update scan in one order or another. Please feel free to port/modify/etc. (it is open source after all) but I guess I'd rather that you didn't modify the levels on the server, especially if you change the game's rules... I think that could interfere with players of the "main" game. Shouldn't be hard to build a new server, yeah? |

bobs22: Not yet! I understand it is kinda similar to my ludum dare game "T in Y World" which might be why I haven't played it yet (envy, I mean) but I've heard it's quite good. I liked Environmental Station Alpha a lot.
Adhesion: Cool, it would be great to get some bug reports! :) Thank you!
FWIW the Vive and Index work pretty well on my aging 1080, even at high refresh rates. Although with VR it's really bad if your card can't keep up; for me it's nauseating enough that I can't even play. |

Awesome to hear that you're working on DFX plugins again! They do seemingly work in 64-bit hosts via jbridge (even Geometer, which I had a lot of issues with back in the day) but it would be great to have native 64-bit versions. I'm also down to help test any new stuff you might come up with.
Good to know about the Index too. I'm still very tempted by VR but I don't really want to give Facebook any more data or money on the Oculus route, and a $1000 investment (really $1300+ if you include a new video card, which I probably need) plus months of wait for an Index that might have issues is also not great. Maybe one day... |

Hi Dave! :-) Is Escape working on MacOS Catalina? |

Tadbot: excellent vocab word!
jonas: I would probably make this mistake too except that my birthday is in September, so month 9 is among the only ones that I can dead reckon. |

> I confuse the two adjacent four-letter Ju months
I don't confuse those, but I still confuse whether August is the eighth or ninth month, and whether the ninth month is August or September. I blame calendars, because they display either only month numbers or month names, so I never see the associations between them in print. I should make my own calendar to fix this problem. |

I don't know what running shorts string is officially called, but I'd refer to the heat shrink tubing end as an 'aglet'. |

I ported it to python with curses. Can I edit the online levels as part of that? I fixed the parenthesis. (well I didn't, but someone gave me a pull request) The clone is at https://github.com/space-elephant/tinyworld-textmode/ |

What do the ( and ) match? It's something about towards the T or away from the T, but what does that mean? Is it from the first element, or from the element before the ( or )? Why doesn't the bidirectional push work backwards? |

Why do missing pages (like 404) give a status code of 200? |

I know, and lots of my jam games are in this state. :(
I have on my list to port them to JS. This one is easier than average because it doesn’t use any vector graphics, but it’s still annoying to have to rewrite weekend game jam projects, because the mindset when I’m writing them is definitely not “write good code so that when you port this to other technologies 8 years later it is easy to understand and you won’t be constantly tempted to rewrite/reimagine everything about it”. |

You might want to rewrite this in HTML5 and JavaScript; Chrome will stop supporting flash soon. |

[ Quake 3 Done! ]
Here I am, playing Quake since 2001 but only giving nightmare SP mode a shot. I've beaten most of them, i'm stuck at q3dm18...
Anyone could give me some tips ? because Major gets to 20 so fast... |

So what I think I'm trying to saying is all the modding and making super hard levels was fun but we might have broken stuff in doing it by scaring off new players... |
| |
Sorry, Martina. How are you my darlin? Saw your response above.
Been playing a bit as a new user since can't access my old player file having not played in a long long time... it's amazing how much you forget :) Only cracked one difficulty 9 so far but not tried that hard.
Tom 7, I have no idea how to get new traction on this but sorting the better levels into some kind of "quality levels" category might help user retention, there is an awful lot of garbage out there, and I created some of it. (I made some gooduns too though) We need a clean up. And, not a clean up based on difficulty only, there are some beautifully elegant but super simple levels too, e.g. #3017.
If anyone wants to chat I'm admin on an IRC server which is secure so could set up a chan if you want.
Anyway, just saying Hi o/ Dave. Sorry for the speedruns, can't resist. |

Thanks for the recs everyone :)
I played Hollow Knight and loved it! I can't believe it was made by four people... what an inspiration!
Tohou Luna Knights is on the list. Bloodstained I skipped because of the graphics (that should-be-2D-but-is-3D look rubs me the wrong way — I think N64 and PlayStation scarred me for life) but it has come up a few times now and it seems like it's officially worth putting back into the running.
I don't plan to make videos for the papers (it's so much work and I'm quite over those two projects!) but I do have some videos in the works.
AADs: This is a double whammy because it needs a rather extreme burst of energy (hard to come by) and is a bit selfish to monopolize the house for a whole day. But I do have the guitar out recently for a project and have been occasionally making computer tunes (Cakewalk is now supported again, and free??). Maybe a quarantime EP is achievable... |

I'm sure you've played Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, but if you haven't, it's a very solid (and free) roguelike.
A Robot Named Fight is a roguelike metroidvania, though it is (by necessity) a little thin. |
