having so much fun making textures from scratch for a godot game I'm working on.
sometimes real-world art tools get results way faster than software or ai. imagine how long it would take to prompt for these exactly? or to do by hand with vectors or pixels? k.i.s.s.

I'm adopting this vintage game terminal + grid for my lisp packages (around my own https://codeberg.org/tfw/lispmoo2 ). Also #Sandewall's #beliefDesireIntent in my own #lispmoo2.

What do you two / all think about signalling lisp conditions for game controls ? #gamedev #programming #commonLisp
Since my CLIM unicode-grid-list-thing makes a grid fine but needs controls, I added a signal handler that just pops up a window and reads a string.
Then, instead of
> (make-application-frame 'game-frame)
> (run-frame-top-level *)
I can run with a custom signal/handler by
> (handler-bind ((menu-x-pressed #'handle-menu-x-pressed)) (run-frame-top-level **))
I've managed to essentially switch my entire workflow to Open-Source. Here's a page created to share the tools I use: https://johnoestmannmusic.com/tooling/
2 days left until the release ...

WL had a small spike again, still in the popular upcoming chart.
I just migrated here from SecondUniverse@neurodifferent.me, so as a quick introduction... I am a trans woman. I transitioned back in the nineties before the world declared war on us. I was diagnosed with autism in my fifties, and more recently I have self diagnosed myself as having CPTSD. I post about astronomy, game development, trans issues, mental health, autism, and writing. #trans #actuallyAutistic #writing #mentalHealth #gameDev
FINALLY. The blog article summarizing 2025. This one is fancy: best viewed on a computer screen.
