Sophie, who is pretty obsessed with dice published a game about dice grids. The game is free (with optional cosmetic DLC). It's a pretty simple puzzle conceptually - you have a grid of dice, and you can rotate columns or rows, and need to get all sixes to the top. In the accompanying video they mention that the game could be played with physical dice, and that you can always solve the game from…
There's an episode of Lucifer where he watches all 12 seasons of Bones without sleeping. I noticed that Bones appeared on Netflix at some point and figured what the hey. It took me about a month. And it probably wasn't good for my mental health. I mean, the series is okay, but watching the 12 seasons back to back wasn't. And when I say it was okay, that's what it was. There were no terrible…
There was some old Garfield comic where the punchline was "muscles come and go, but fat is forever". It was supposed to be funny. I don't remember why. Compilers don't see comments. That's kind of the point. However, this means that when the code attached to the comments changes, the compiler doesn't complain that there's a mismatch. Thus, one of these sayings I've found myself repeating goes:…
The C.S.S.C.G.C. (or comp.sys.sinclair crap games competition) for 2025 wrapped and my fishing game is one of the finalists . To quote the aforelinked page, Any one of them could take the crown for "least crap". Unfortunately, some candidates are too humble to accept the glory, fame and wealth that come with hosting next year's event. Anyway. The winner wasted no time setting up the contest for…
Well, I finished reading (most of) dspguide . The first half gave me some insights I had either forgotten, or never learned, including the convolution insight of my previous post. Other insights were about how FFT works, what additional steps are needed for iFFT to work (mainly synthesizing the negtive frequencies), zero-padding tricks for FFT, and the significance of windowing. I'll probably…
As far as I recall - and I may be totally wrong with this - back in school convolution was considered a "black box" being too complex math to get into. Granted, this was an engineering school, not a science one, so if a black box solves your problem, black box is what you'll use. In any case, the result was that I filed convolution under "stuff I don't need to care about". Turns out, at least on…
Here's the new year demo: YouTube link And here's a reminder that my Ko-Fi shop exists. If you like my stuff, maybe consider checking it out? I shouldn't even call these things resolutions, more like a "here's some stuff I should probably look at this year". Considering there's no downside to failing the tasks, I'm not likely to succeed, but hey, if you don't have any goals, you might as well just…
