If you'll forgive the daily throwaway challenges, here's another one. To quote from the link,:
```
'(a (b c) d (e f))
overwrite the b with the f.
```
My solution, featuring the new "apply nconc to register", &
```
(progn ^^ [ >> >> v [ & ^^ [ >> >> ] )
```
the ability to use & to create portals opens up a world of puzzles/golf challenges.

#notGDC 2025 is a free, online game dev non-conference for everyone!
This year it runs from March 10–14, one week before GDC.
Have some #gamedev knowledge you want to share with the world? Slides, articles, videos are welcome, and submissions are now open!
For more info: https://notgdc.io

15 years ago I uploaded my first game asset to OpenGameArt - and I haven’t stopped since! It’s been an incredible journey, all possible thanks to the #gamedev community. Huge thanks to all of you! Here’s to another 15 years of #gameassets! 🥂
my fave #gamedev news from this week's gdc announcements is the Accessible Games Initiative!
all the big names in the industry have teamed up to make game metadata accessibility "tags" more universal! love it. https://accessiblegames.com/
A little deck builder game I made for the social gamedev platform Castle got tapped for the editor’s picks category.
https://castle.xyz/d/84rSrYOkKZ?cxshid=k0YjPl9RQY&sid=Gne-lhU1Jw9g
Added a little glow to the platforms and gems 🌟💎🟦🟧⬅️💎🌟

Hello Mastodon! I'm a power engineer who is trying out solo game development and on the way to release Power Network Tycoon - a game where you build and manage your own electrical grid with real physics simulation.
If you've ever wondered how power systems actually work (or why they fail), this might be your jam. I built it to be technically accurate while still being fun. To say it's been a challenge is an understatement...

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 **))
![The game was invoked with
(handler-bind ((menu-x-pressed #'handle-menu-x-pressed))
(run-frame-top-level **))
Now, the signal invoked by the x button menu command is bound to a handler that pops open a string entry window, which has clumsily laid out:
gimmeastringEnter string: [ ]
OK Cancel](/proxy/post_attachment/625283/8c4588b767.png "The game was invoked with

Arcane Cache: Review to Glittering Light 2
A ASCII art game that breaks with quite some conventions in a wonderful way. Instead of moving an @ through a maze of lines, it feels like moving through a strange, mysterious world ... a game with a limited, set scope, where the atmosphere and the fundamental idea of the game are much more important than the balance or the gameplay ... a parabola on life itself.

This idea is a bit premature but I have decently functioning prototype. What does the #fediverse think of federated gaming? A specific implementation is Club Penguin servers that federate user actions and messages so that separate servers can still have users render on other servers. Allows for full Mastodon integration, i.e. CP conversations show up as threads and a Mas user can respond and appear as a penguin message to CP users. Like CP is the front-end client. #clubpenguin #fedidev #gamedev

Thinking of adding the player's current location to the intermission screen, but I'm not sure.

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
