Just published a #nim project for importing JSON schema files as if they were code: https://github.com/Nycto/NimJsonSchemaImporter

I’m planning on using it to import #ldtk files into my next #playdate game

For those annoyed about Dorsey being at #fosdem2025 - i totally agree.
If you're going to join the protest, I support you with that too.
However, please do not forget that other things are going on at the same time at Dorsey's Keynote. Don't let your anger he is there take away from other people who have put in effort to create something to share with our community.
I'm not sure where I will be yet, but perhaps I'll take a look at the Developer Rooms where #Nim have some things going on

Finally got to use my utilities library for this one, I didn't really have to make any changes in it.

Part 2 here is really quite slow, but it completes in less than a minute, so I don't really feel like optimising it, it's a very straight foreward stupid way of doing it, but it just works, so I'm not really that bothered by it :p This time at least naming was better, and as a result it's so much easier to read the code :)

I quite enjoyed this one, although I have to say that naming did not go very well here, variables have terrible names that are only half consistent with the problem, and how it's described, I started out using terms from the Problem description, and slowly migrated into names that made sense to me, which made it kind of a mess.

Parsing was rather elegant I feel, and reordering here I basically bubbled up numbers until the last of the ones that it needed, and it works nicely, even though I'm a bit unsure if this would work if the queues were a bit more antagonistically set up.

#adventofcode #nim day05

Here are two screens (cropped for clarity).
The top is from #Amiga and the bottom is from #AtariST.

Both run from the same codebase in #Nim, yet the code is completely different. While I appreciate Amiga for its awesome hardware and capabilities, the AmigaOS API is... ugh, I can't find the English word to describe it. It's bad.

Yet, the ST/STe hardware is so basic it feels like they just glued DMA on 68000 SBC in a weekend. But their APIs? I wish it could swap places with AmigaOS somtimes.

I'm getting ready to release the #playdate game I'm building in #nim (https://elephantstarballoon.itch.io/the-long-arc), so I'm doing a bit of polish. I redid the effect for the healing spell, and updated the tower art to show damage instead of just relying on the health bar at the top. I'm a lot happier with both #indiedev #PixelArt #TheLongArc

For 2024, I solved Advent of Code in 25 different languages. Was a fun project, sometimes a bit (very) painful (*glances at Erlang and Zig*).

Code (bottom of post) and summary for each language:
https://blog.aschoch.ch/posts/aoc-2024

Keep in mind that I used most of these language for a few hours tops, so my judgement is very much subjective.

What's your favourite of the bunch?

Check it out! I put together a gameplay reel for the #playdate game I've been building in #nim https://elephantstarballoon.itch.io/the-long-arc #indiedev #PixelArt

Finally decided to add shadow mapping to my game. It might be subtle but it's very impactful.

I'm starting a small closed play-test for the #playdate game I've been developing in #nim. It’s an action arcade game where players take on the role of an archer defending their tower against waves of enemies. If you own a playdate and are interested in participating, please fill in the following form:

Note that I am keeping the player pool small for now, as I am still polishing and balancing aspects of the game. And thank you! #indiedev

Welp, done refactoring the #nim solve for Day 5 of #adventOfCode. Removed all of the sets in code and went from ~7 ms to ~1 ms for execution time. At this point I have spent far too long on today's solve and feel like I've earned a beer or two... #programming

Finished up with the #nim solve for #adventOfCode along with the explanations on what was going through my brain. Pretty happy with the quality, sure there's stuff I could optimize but I'm leaving it alone today. #programming

Nice article about Nim and embedded, hard real-time systems out. This will be very interesting for Ratel! https://nim-lang.org/blog/2022/11/11/a-cost-model-for-nim.html #nim
