“The brief glow fell upon a huge siting figure, still and solemn as the great stone kings of Argonath. The years had gnawed it, and violent hands had maimed it. Its head was gone, and in its place was set in mockery a round rough-hewn stone, rudely painted by savage hands in the likeness of a grinning face with one large red eye in the midst of its forehead. Upon its knees and mighty chair, and all about the pedestal, were idle scrawls mixed with the foul symbols that the maggot-folk of Mordor used. Suddenly, caught by the level beams, Frodo saw the old kings head: it was lying rolled away by the roadside. 'Look, Sam!' he cried, startled into speech. 'Look! The king has got a crown again!' The eyes were hollow and the carven beard was broken, but about the high stern forehead there was a coronal of silver and gold. A trailing plant with flowers like small white stars had bound itself across the brows as if in reverence for the fallen king, and in the crevices of his stony hair yellow stonecrop gleamed. 'They cannot conquer for ever!' said Frodo. And then suddenly the brief glimpse was gone. The Sun dipped and vanished, and as if at the shuttering of a lamp, black night fell.” The Lord of the Rings

“They cannot conquer for ever.” #lotr

I added some "meditation waypoints" to the 3d view. No gameplay purpose besides giving the player an opportunity to chill and take in the view. #cozygame #screenshotsaturday

Screenshot from my web game Generation Ship 2. I've added new meditation points to the 3d view. When you locate these points the camera will slowly fly around the environment, giving you some new perspectives on the world.

Red tshirt with a black stencil design of Noam Chomsky in the style of the classic Che Guevara design.

I revived and reprinted this old design from college. Understanding Power might have done more to reshape my political views than any other book.

I added some more charts to better see trends on which job boards result in interviews. So far @techjobsforgood.bsky.social is in the lead for me. #solodev #buildinpublic

I added "Interest" and "Alignment" columns to my Application table. Fields I found I needed to sort potential jobs to apply to. These values could also be used for charts on which applications lead to interviews. #buildinpublic

Made a bunch of QOL improvements today. #buildinpublic #solodev

I needed to see this visualized after finishing #andor last night

End screen from my game showing the final game board and score. My final score for today’s game was 28,919. I think I got a good boost (3,130 points) from the “Habitat survival bonus” which is from keeping habitat tiles alive for most of the game.

Further down on the end screen are two graphs. One is the ecological and population scores over time. Both had steady growth with a little dip in population about 3/4th of the way through the game. Below that is a histogram comparing previous scores saved in local storage and a line for today’s score.

Just had my best score yet according to the comparison chart. #screenshotsaturday

3d mode in my game that allows you to walk around the generation ship you’ve cultivated. There are trees, stucco habitats, and farms. An artificial sun is starting to set.

Screenshot of the game board before placing the last tile in today’s daily challenge. Today’s seed had a lot of farm tiles.

The dashboard for a job hunting application tracker. It shows a sankey diagram of applications I've submitted and interviews. Below upcoming interviews and listings I've found but not yet applied to are displayed.

Job hunting is a depressing struggle. Last weekend I started working on a side project to turn my google sheet into an app using #nextjs and #supabase. Its coming together and I'm already able to use it for my own stuff. #buildinpublic

The inhabitants now move from the habitat to nearby farms. It used to be random.

I added zoom and inspect buttons to the meditation mode infinite grid.

#indiedev

Been wanting to do this for a while. I added infinite scroll and tile painting to the "Meditation Mode". Basically just a sandbox for playing around.

Full page screenshot of the win screen for my game. It says, “Success! After centuries of traveling through space the ship has reached a suitable planet for permanent colonization.” Below is a table for the total score. Below that are graphs showing the ecological and population scores over each round of the game and a histogram comparing today’s score to all my previous scores.

#react update is complete. This should allow for some animations and features I’ve had on the to do list for a while.
