A big pull request of mine for #Luanti was just merged.
I’ve worked on updating the #Lua API #documentation so that the allowed number ranges for functions that take numbers are now properly documented; also a distinction between floats and ints was added. Luanti uses Lua 5.1, which internally only knows C `double`s, but Luanti itself knows actual integers as well (because C++).
I hope this will prevent a load of mod bugs and confusions in future.
#Repixture. Comparison of villages in version 3.18.2 and latest dev version.
I am happy to report the #Repixture villages are going great.
Today, I worked mostly on performance. #Luanti allows mods to run their mapgen code in a thread. Helpful for complex mapgens. But my game still ran the code in main thread; so if a village generates, the game slows down to a crawl for seconds.
Took me all day to rewrite code for mapgen thread (due to restrictions), but the result paid off:
All lag spikes caused by village generation in the mapgen are GONE. 🎉
The #Repixture village path generator is slowly starting to look acceptable.
The laser-puzzle game #Lazarr! also supports custom level packs. We have an official community level pack which got recently updated with 4 new levels.
Here’s “Sky Treasure”, kindly contributed by Jacob Lifshay.

#Console command of the day: factor
Type in "factor <number>" and you get all the #prime factors of the number.
This command is part of the #GNU #coreutils so if you’re on a GNU/#Linux system, you should already have it.
Secret #retro-style #video game tip: #Lix
Lix is a puzzle game where your goal is to guide the walking lix to the exit by giving them abilities like building, digging, blocking, etc.
It’s a #Lemmings clone. And dare I say, the best one I know of.
It has many quality-of-life features like rewind, advancing the simulation by 1 step, etc. There’s even multiplayer.
(Disclaimer: I contributed like 5 tiny levels years ago.)
A new version (libre19) of X-Decor-libre, the decoration mod for #Luanti is out now! It mostly fixes a bug with the item frame destroying items.
I now accept translations of this mod on <https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/xdecor/>. Contributions will be greatly appreciated. 🙂

@evacide Ah yes, "let us protect children by scanning their faces". What could possibly be wrong??? 🤡
“the software ‘flags you as a “suspicious entity” based on your face alone’ …”
Yay! Phrenology 2.0!
#Mobile device support for #Lazarr! only existed on paper. It “worked” but was clunky. Until now.
I’m happy to report that I fixed the biggest UI and controls issues on mobile.
The UI now works on smaller screens, and the controls are less confusing.
Short tap = punch/dig/take
Long tap = place/interact
Before, these controls were reversed which I found to be much less friendly.
Also, thanks to #Luanti 5.15.1, performance of the game turned out to take a major boost.
Three instances for the Linux nerds under /dev/null.
Seven instances for uwu catgirls on #Misskey.
Nine instances for all the n00bs, doomed to fail.
One Instance for Lord #Zuckerberg on his Facebook Throne.
In the land of #Threads, where the FBI lurks.
One Instance to rule them all, One Instance to find them.
One Instance to bring them all, and the TOS bind them.
In the land of Threads, where the FBI lurks.
