Larger puzzles in my puzzle game[1]. And some yak shaving in the form of selective zoom, where only the board would zoom in but the clues around the board would still remain visible. [1]: https://lab174.com/nonoverse

I wish they showed videos with a human model or the retractable mechanism. At first glance the visor seems large enough to cover the face, but based on the HUD simulation I guess it only covers the eyes.

To be fair the ~150MB is for the CEF scenario (when chromium gets bundled); and eventually they want to introduce a shared CEF runtime across apps.

In the long run it could spread from commercial to consumer scenarios; perhaps extra fast if there was adoption in the services sector.

If you want image nonograms (as opposed to randomized nonograms), you can try Nonoverse[1]; I made it for the same reasons. [1]: https://lab174.com/nonoverse

Nonoverse[1], a nonogram puzzle game. I’m prioritizing user experience and QoL features, I’d like to build something calming and user friendly. I recently added support for user generated puzzles - here’s a nonogram that I drew just now[2].

I hope they are working hard on the xpro4! Retro styled cameras are only gaining in popularity; the competition is increasing, but Fujifilm has a big head start. And still many concepts to try out. We have yet to see true manual focus confi

An image logic puzzle game about nonograms[1] called Nonoverse[2]. I’m automating App Store media creation; both screenshots and app preview videos can now be recorded automatically; this way they should stay up to date and show correct con

Surprisingly, there were DRM games praised for good UX, only these were hardware releases. When Switch 1 launched, it got re-releases (eg: Diablo 3) that were: 1. complete editions with DLCs, 2. came on a cartridge that one could swap betwe

I guess the modern day equivalent (technology that’s relatively new, unsafe and unregulated) would be electric scooter polo? I found no sign of a sport like this though. I think kick scooter polo exists. And bike polo[1] is well known. [1]:

I guess we don’t know what the agent would do after seeing these warnings and a request for extra action. Perhaps it would stop and rethink, perhaps it would focus on the fact that extra action is needed - and perform that automatically. I

Fastlane is a local, open source CLI tool. > 100% open source under the MIT license See: https://docs.fastlane.tools/ It doesn’t support App Preview automation, this is something that I had to script myself.

This is very useful in mobile projects. App stores require screenshots, but generating N images for NUMBER_OF_SCREEN_SIZES times NUMBER_OF_LOCALIZATIONS can be a chore. In the past I wrote my own scripts for that, today tools like Fastlane[

Speculation for fun: I always thought popular apps can use private apis or are handled in a special way by the OS itself. If yes, perhaps this is related. Then again I found no source for that - and some certificate rollover seems more like

Same, only praises; I used pixijs 10 years ago in a resource constrained mobile focused project and I keep using it today.

Oh no, that one has proper pixel art. Mine just has pretty puzzles (nonograms that turn into pixel art images when solved) and an occasional pixel art level. I plan to add more levels like this later. I also plan to update screenshots but s

It’s a completely opposite scenario for me, I accidentally shipped a pixel art game. It’s actually a game about nonograms. My first attempts at pixel art were bad but it didn’t matter that much, the focus was elsewhere anyway. With time the

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Sounds like the tickets should be at least more expensive than the cost of equivalent QA (and if not, self driving companies might offload QA to the police).
