Thank you for trying out my game! The intended way to build a single engine/port (e.g. SDL2 in your case) is to run: meson setup -Dengines=sdl2 build meson compile -C build

It is not unreasonalble, I agree! I just haven’t gotten around it. You can get past it by chosing either chapter (by clicking on the left and right sides of the screen to move in the UI), then choosing it (by pressing on both sides of the s

That sounds awesome! This is the most advanced game I have ever made, so I don’t feel like I have as much experience as you. I’m glad you seem to have liked what I came up with in some way or another! I feel like designated initialisers can

> Jump King, Getting Over It both have the same kind of ruthless difficulty Yes, that’s exactly the kind of thing I was going for! Though I will say: I feel like my controls, although difficult at first, are easier to get used to than ei

If a platform is one tile tall, it will act as a semi‐solid that you can jump up through. If that’s not what you mean, then any kind of evidence (like a video or a screenshot) or some description about what you were doing that caused it wou

More so than not detecting threefold repetition, it is actually not good at endgames in general, very frequently struggling to find checkmates more than just a few plies deep. I’ve heard anecdotes from friends that played it, where they we

Hello, HN! This is a chess bot I have been working on sporadically for several months now. https://github.com/zamfofex/dummyette From the very beginning, I wanted to make it simplistic in approach, so the AI algorithm

‘greg’ is not able to display more than one month by itself. If you only provide one argument, it’ll consider it as a month number, e.g. ‘greg 9’ for September (of the current year). I had made a simple Bash script that displayed the calend

Well, although not very compelling, a couple new features are (1) you can highlight any and multiple days of the month (with different colors, even), and (2) you can choose the first day of the week more freely. I didn’t want for it to get

Not really, to be honest! Originally, I had written a linker script that could generate really small ELF executables, using the information I found on this website: http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/tiny

Hello, everyone! Having known about this website for a while, this is my first time deciding to create an account and making a post. I have (somewhat) recently decided to start working on a simple C project. It is a “replacement” for the Un
