Now that I have some basic shading, I need to figure out color quantization to keep the pixel art feel. I'll probably want to configure this at runtime depending on the model, so it's UI time (a problem for another day)
Well this is a start I guess. Ignore how horrendous the model is. Now I need to work on lighting
Weekend project: make a tool to generate pixel art from 3d models/bone animations, like how Dead Cells did their animations
I'm doing this in Odin and raylib right now, neither of which I've used before
Ok apparently you can use the socket as an event stream and "expand" the stream by converting each event into an iterator over the bytes, resulting in a byte stream.
But even with a byte stream, there doesn't seem to be a way to "wait unti…

GitHub canceled this for me, thankfully
As repayment, slopware.club now redirects to GitHub
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that we need an explicitly antifascist, queer alternative to GNU software
If you're someone who blocked the claude user on GitHub to get the warning banners on repos with claude contributions, this should give you a similar warning banner for anything on the list.
I only have it working on GitHub so far, but get…

Sometimes my brain feels like an HTTP server serving the same webpage over and over. People tell me I'm probably autistic
I spend most of my time with computers, but I'm still often told I'm "chronically offline"
