OK, I gotta hand it to CoPilot.

Good ol' GNU Image Manipulation Program to the rescue. But, now I'm tired of fucking around, so I just bought some tiles off of Itch.io to start with. I think somebody here on Mastodon posted them a while back. They're cute. Still need to get them into a format I can convert automatically to a charset... https://algernon3000.itch.io/minimal-8
He can't keep getting away with it. (Not going to bed, writing 6502 assembly, things of that nature.) #retrocomputing

Is a dual grid system possible on a C64? Since I'm using sprites for the little guys, it seems like it would be, as they have pixel-precise movement. How to maintain the world map (not the visual one, the one that determines behaviors) is breaking my brain, though. Much to think about.

OK, this is not as good as Web Developer Tools for apps in the browser, but I guess it'll have to do, because I'm not doing Electron or whatever. But, trying to figure out why things are rendered the way they are without "Inspect Element" is certainly not as much fun as one would hope.

I think I need to learn Godot or something for the prototyping phase. Even if I end up writing the whole game twice, iterating on gameplay ideas in 6502 assembly does not seem at all like a more efficient use of time. I was so excited to get something running in VICE but now I'm overwhelmed enough by the high level concepts (proc gen maps and the dual grid stuff at the moment) that trying to think it through at a super low level just isn't working.

I think I'm making a charset/tileset editor now, somehow? Why are all the existing tools for this stuff so complicated and confusing?

Qt Quick/QML has too many ways to make runtime errors. Why am I dealing with static types and a compiler and static analyzers if I can still have random brokenness I'll only find at runtime by clicking the right place?
This does not spark joy.

@swelljoe Have you looked at Slint (https://slint.dev/)? Its accessibility is a work in progress, but as I understand it, it supports static typing all the way through. Written in Rust, but supports a few languages, including C++ and Python.

@matt I hadn't heard of it. I kind of settled on Qt because it's so mature, has accessibility features baked in, has good tooling (qmillint, Gammaray, etc.), and I could find a lot of examples (I simply need examples, my brain can't do anything with just an API reference). And, it's not terrible that I got an excuse to refresh and modernize my C++ skills a little bit.
But, when it comes to building something big, I kind of already know I don't want to use C++ or Qt. Probably Rust or Zig.

@matt oh, they're aiming straight for Qt's embedded/auto market, huh? They have a backend targeting Linux without X or Wayland. Very embeddy. https://docs.slint.dev/latest/docs/slint/guide/backends-and-renderers/backend_linuxkms/

@matt but, it looks really nice! Reactive UIs seemingly without the island of garbage upon which they built React.js.

Until a while ago, hearing the rain made me feel a sense of worry. The roof needed work, and I knew every drop of water would create potential trouble.
Now that it's fixed, hearing the drops fall in the evening while I relax and don't need to go out, gives me a sense of peace, naturalness, and subtle pleasure.
Goodnight, world

that's because it's a screen shot of a blog post, and the prompting for the alt text came from mastodon when i pasted in the screen shot.
wordland doesn't have the ability to set alt text for images -- it should.
anyway glad you like wordland! it's still a work in progress as you can see. ;-)

@Nomad13 separated, yes. Together: big no! 🤣

A regular Note2Self and to all of you. I am humbled every day by the fact that I have 10K+ followers here that accept my posts into their timeline. The Fediverse is about people, not algorithms. I am not an influencer. I just like to share. And you all accept me. Thank you. Good night and Please don't go :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujwm8YrEgI4&list=RDujwm8YrEgI4&start_radio=1

@davew Thanks for making WordLand. I wrote this post on my new Wordpress.com site using WordLand and it got tooted on my mastodon account automatically, so it works!
One question. How did you get alt text to work on your post’s photo? I still can’t figure out how I can do that on WordLand?
