got basic room switching working. the plan is to store only a bump map for each room and decorate on load that so the world can be quite big.#gameboy #gamedev #pixelart #retrogaming #projectwhiskers

the plan is to stay within 32kb for the rom so it can be flashed on a basic cartridge, but not sure if that will work out. 💾#gameboy #gamedev #pixelart #retrogaming #projectwhiskers

ok, the gameboy screen only holds 10x9 tiles of 16x16. so a coordinate is never > 16 (4 bits).so I can store a level object's x+y position in one byte (8 bits) and extract them using bitshift and save 50% storage.feeling like a hacker now. 😎

@Migueldeicaza the year is 2026. customers may now send a letter to request the source code and Red Hat will fax it to them.

@futurebird since it’s such a successful design I’m sure we’ll find them on exoplanets. :)

I've not missed any distro packages so far on #GNOME OS. it even comes with the fish terminal.and I love that the #Rust dev kit is simple and portable. rustup/cargo with Zed (flatpak) is all I need.installing deps and building projects ALWAYS works. never had that experience with npm/rubygems which always turned into hell.

@squid64 heard from a couple of GNOME devs that it worked fine as their daily OS so wanted to try it out. I like the vanilla experience and getting the latest.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jimmac/115939240583677352when people are talking about how #GNOME needs an office suite, I'm thinking something more like this.wysiwyg is a huge time waster.dump the proprietary file formats.let's have a suite of simple but powerful "Luxury Markdown" apps that are compatible with anything and are so good that nobody wants to use bloated office apps ever again.#design #ux #office
