@Middaparka heh I did use it as a link shortener for a while but not any more. I do use it for email. Wish I’d bought jo.hn when I had the chance though.
@mcoorlim well I old enough to remember 9999 in 1 cartridge - where 2-3 "game" and everything else is small reskins or some minor modifications - in context of "same game with different level layouts" - everything can be considered as minigame.
@danil I've been considering an apogee style platformer themed after video game history that incorporates bonus stages that are clones of milestone golden age arcade titles.
@lisyarus Yeah, it's weird comparing this to my first channel, think it took about 2 months to get anywhere close to this many people looking at that stuff (although, since it was my first channel, the first few videos were admittedly trash).
Going to ignore how random it is and take it as confirmation that I'm getting better at videos :D
@chipwits very cool. I have fond memories of the original game on Macs. However as I remember it the game or at least the version we had worked on our Mac 512. But then failed when we upgraded the hardware to a Mac Plus (can’t remember if there was also a System update involved I was just a kid). I’ve long thought the original game would make an amazing modern game and have been surprised it never got ported to later OSes or systems.
@Rycaut We're doing that, now! You can sign up for our beta at https://chipwits.com/ - still free tickets left. There was an earlier attempt with ChipWits II but it never got off the ground. We're adapting the new ChipWits for modern audiences.
it's gonna be a pain in the butt to figure out a fix for this, especially since it looks like even though I'm using a python.org Python binary it's trying to pull in stuff from homebrew, which is of course never going to be portable or multiarch
okay so as a temporary "fix" I uninstalled homebrew from one of my Macs and used that to do the build, completely free of /opt/homebrew taint. Hopefully that works.
But the solution to "I want to build a binary that works on all Macs" should not be "own two Macs"
All the puzzles for the new game have been planned! It's bigger that our previous ones, and it warranted the use of a good old Puzzle Dependency Chart™.
