Another new game featuring the famous cute pixellated gonks performing some winter sports!

It still only requires one finger, but the sports are more dangerous than ever.

Not only the right decision, the right reasoning too.

Live coding Rust and Matrix. I'm working on a Matrix bot to supply Arnie quotes, but got distracted adding a Redis back end to matrix-rust-sdk.

I stream every week on Monday 14:00 London time (currently UTC+1). Join me!

Or my Owncast instance at https://andybalaam.uk.to

Follow me on mastodon @[email protected] to be reminded about streams, or follow the Owncast instance by clicking Follow at https://andybalaam.uk.to

I'm actually away on Monday, so next stream is on 6th June.

You can watch the old streams at https://diode.zone/a/andybalaam/

It might be worth considering basing it on Matrix. You'll get a lot of things for free (e.g. auth and identity) and you can create your own dialect on top of the fundamental protocol.

Santa Bike! The new game on Smolpxl (santabike.artificialworlds.net)
submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

We have a new Santa-themed game for you.

It's a classic side-on bike racer, that you play with exactly one button.

We've found it surprisingly addictive, and with a high-score table for each level you can compete against everyone else!

Play the game at https://santabike.artificialworlds.net/ and find similar games at https://smolpxl.artificialworlds.net/

Another retro recreation for you - Tron, a game of tangling lines, and staying alive longer than anyone else.

This version allows many players (up to 16 if you can manage it), and is quite pure in its implementation.

There are bots to play against, and you can gather your friends around a keyboard to play together.

Part of the motivation for writing this game was to test my new smolpxl-remote remote-play system, but this is not enabled yet, so watch this space...

 

The new lightcycle game, Tron, is fairly close to a first release.

Is it OK if I mention my own channels?

Previously I tried setting up a couple of chat systems to be a community for Smolpxl games, but since we are a very small site at the moment, there has been little activity.

I think Lemmy will provide a much more useful community because as soon as you arrive here you'll see interesting posts about what is going on, and you can choose where to comment.

So, from today, [email protected] is the official community page for Smolpxl!

 

I think Lemmy is great, so I'm making it the official community for my games site Smolpxl.

To do that, I'd like to link to the privacy policy from my own privacy page, but I can't find one.

I can find the code of conduct but that doesn't mention privacy.

I think this sounds possible. If you don't use a Box<> or similar container (and instead using something like a dyn trait), you know that the compiler knows the real size of the instance you are passing, so no dynamic polymorphism is being used.

If you post some code here, someone might be able to suggest a Rustish way of doing it?
