Here's a sampling of the projects I've found on glitch. Many great projects will be lost. Are there any preservation efforts being undertaken? https://magnet-caper.glitch.me/ https://cave-in.glitch.me&#

It was the first online cohort of DC so I didn't realize how intensely difficult it'd be. I'd taken GIOS with Ada which was gentle, so I figured DC wouldn't be significantly harder. It was a good life experience even tho

I might be missing something obvious, but it's not clear to me how to get an mp3 out of this on Ubuntu 22.04. Following the docs, `./tsac c myfile.mp3 myfile.tsac` generates a tsac file that's unplayable with mpv. Trying ffmp

Thanks, I appreciate seeing the code! For code with database access, you could use an environment variable from a .env file and gitignore that file, making it safe to share. (you're probably already aware of this practice and may have

In the "1 Piece history with 1 roll" code, a global variable `piece` is introduced. There should be a `let piece;` at the top of the function body to scope it locally.
