With #FediJam nearing its deadline, I've been working on customization and accessibility options for my game. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, it's a game jam, and this is one area of many where jam games typically cut quality corners to save dev time. But accessibility has kinda become part of my personal brand, so I don't want to skimp here.

It's a dexterity game, which won't appeal to everyone. But the goal is that anyone can at least try it.

The issue with any programming language is the ability to "interact" with users. Without a GUI, a programming language is limited.

My new blog post is now up!

You can contribute to KDE with non-C++ code


I always see:

  • people being told they can contribute to KDE with C++/QML
  • people being told they can contribute to KDE without code

But I don't often see:

  • people being told that they can contribute to KDE with code that is not C++

I like C++, QML, and even CMake, but you might not be interested in them or you might just not be willing to spend time learning another language, and that's perfectly fine.

In this blog post I list a few KDE projects that you might not know about that might be written in your preferred language or in a specialized format you have expertise or interest in.

By far, the most popular programming language actively used in KDE other than the expected languages is Python.

We also have stuff that would interest sysadmins (containers), packagers (snap/flatpak) and web developers.

Someone in the Concatenative programming discord posted a small PDF about The Principal Programming Paradigms asking where it'd fit. So, I had a little fun trying to fit some of the languages in the space onto the chart.

It also reminds me how little research is in this space. Such a sparse family of explored ideas.

Most people following probably know some of this.

For the rest of us, @itsfoss has a great break down and more detailed look, at the differences between VS-Code and VS-Codium.

In basic, both are free and open source. However, Microsoft owns VS-Code, which has telemetry elements enabled by default and contains some non-open bits.

Here is my initial draft of #uxn in tcl/tk called tuxn ๐Ÿ˜†
https://git.sr.ht/~kr1sp1n/tuxn

.Console/write and .Screen/pixel is roughly implemented.

#varvara #tcl #tcltk #programming #tuxn


Thanks! There is a #tclkit creator online (https://kitcreator.rkeene.org/kitcreator) that builds a #tcl #tk interpreter for sooo many different platforms. So my hope is that my implementation will bring #uxn and it's ecosystem to many more machines in the bright future ๐Ÿ™Œ I will definetely hop on irc.esper.net if I need a hand.

Inspired by the work on https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn5 by @aw and @neauoire I just started an implementation of #uxn in #tcl and #tk. So much fun!
Can already extract opcodes from binary roms. Repo will follow.

But people are already using it as a point against using Rust. Some questioned whether they should continue learning Rust.

What happens when ChatGPT tries to write a basic Famicom /NES initialization in 6502 Assembly?

It's certainly impressive that it can output anything valid-ish at all, but it clearly doesn't really understand what it needs to do.
