One of the items on my 7DRL checklist for this year is to have the game run in a browser. The last time I did this, I used Pygame and could only share it with people by handing them the source and hoping they happened to have Python and Pygame installed. As part of the Rogue-like game engine development, I’m looking into ways to get the game playable in the browser, while still being able to use Pygame to develop it. Today, I’m looking at Trinket.

7DRL: Building an Engine — A Room
The annual 7DRL — 7 Day Rogue-Like — game hackathon is next month. I did this a really long time ago, but I didn’t know at that time that I could start the competition with a game engine already programmed. By the time I finished the engine, I only had a day left to build some sort of game on it. This time, I’m building the engine ahead of time.
Once, I had a life. Now, I have Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
I haven’t played the sequel to my favorite Final Fantasy game, Final Fantasy Tactics, in ages. And even when I played it before, back in the Gameboy Advance days, I never got that far into it — the tiny screen just didn’t work for JRPGs for me. So I spent a lot of money getting a Nintendo DS — the one with the GBA slot — and a complete copy of the game, and decided to give it another shot.
I didn’t know what I was getting into.
Advent of Code 2021 — Completed.
It was an obsession, it was a challenge, it was a lesson. The Advent of Code is an annual coding event that runs from the first to the twenty-fifth of December, but instead of chocolate treats, this advent calendar delivers delicious daily coding puzzles… although you don’t necessarily need to code to solve them.
EverQuest Original Soundtrack: Worth buying a record player.
Is there a vinyl album out there that would spur you to buy a record player? I thought I’d never do it, until that one album came along.
