Today's experiment turned out rather #dark even if I don't feel so apocalyptic. The code is almost identical to yesterday's, but I replaced the blend mode Add by Xor. How would you describe this? #CreativeCoding#OPENRNDR#Kotlin#gothic#winter
Testing how many lines I can animate simultaneously. I increased the number of lines and vertices but CPU and GPU usage barely changed. Next I will test it in the target tablet (weaker CPU and GPU) and see what happens there.
One thing I don't like with .NET (at least in C#) is the lack of innovation that we see in other languages such as Java, Go, and Rust. Reading link aggregators to blog posts about C# just gives me the impression that the same ideas and thoughts are repeated over and over.
This one maybe took half hour to paint. After spending such a long time shapes start to emerge, as if I had shot many photos of the same location using the same negative.
I find interesting that I decide which area to paint without seeing the hidden video, quickly searching for colors and moving the pointer trying to achieve certain effects, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Like a game with unknown rules.
Hey #gnome and #kde people, since you are at #fosdem could you maybe discuss what would it take to make a common toolkit (Linux toolkit?) that would appeal to both #c and #cpp devs? Basically covering both platforms so we could converge. Maybe #swiftlang? Fork of #Kotlin native? Seems to me we would be better off with people writing mobile apps for Linux desktop, than people writing web apps and electron garbage on desktop.
On Feb 1st, 2024, #Apple released Pkl. Pronounced "pickle", it is a complete configuration scripting language, including a JSON/YAML/XML/more compiler, a language server, bunch of IDE plugins, and of course direct bindings for your favorite programming language, for quick adoption. A #Python binding seems missing.
I like how a Pkl config's specs and values are colocated. Always hated maintaining separate schemas for very simple configs.
