Learning Godot in my lunch breaks, I was very happy to find the 'Open Dominant Script on Scene Change' setting - as I was getting muddled when switching between scenes and not seeing associated script. I get why it's not the default, but it works for my brain πŸ™‚ #godot

Another great episode. I also remember referring to zip-lines as 'death slides', and I think it possibly came from this episode of Blue Peter? www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6WT...

Played TR-49 today. I’ve seen a lot of people say they finished it in one sitting, but I couldn’t find the time for that. However, I really enjoyed the hour or so I spent with it today while it was dark and rainy outside.

I have a plaster/bandaid on my thumb so I can't easily scroll on a touch screen... I think I may have stumbled upon a pretty good productivity hack.

Quick video. Nothing groundbreaking. Apart from the β€˜swap’ card it’s basically Beleaguered Castle at the moment.

For a while I’ve been occasionally tinkering with this solitaire inspired game. It’s like Beleaguered Castle, but with special cards and levels. I’m trying to decide if making each level look like an overhead diagram of a castle looks good or not. #gamedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday

Trying to book a family holiday, and reading reviews where people use β€œAI” as shorthand for β€œall inclusive” is very jarring (and took me a shockingly long time to work out what they were talking about πŸ˜…) e.g. β€œice cream available with AI”.
