It is going to be one of those days, isn't it?

Yep. A PDF viewer written in JS and running in the browser. That did always sound like a great idea to me.

Sure. All software can have bugs, etc. Still, that PDF viewer has access to stuff that perhaps it shouldn't.

Vic made a time travel machine in the sofa that can only travel to the future.

Essentially, you sit there and wait 😂

(it works!)

The good thing about 8-bit games is how portable they are (essentially wherever you have an emulator).

Looking at the issue of the loading screen rip-off, I just noticed my first ever 8-bit game was released in October 2014 (for the #ZxSpectrum 48k), so this October it will be 10 years since I started this... hobby.

It wasn't a great game, barely functional because there were so many things I didn't know, both at hardware level and the most essential #gamedev stuff 😂, but eventually... I got better at it!

This game is ripping off The Return of Traxtor's loading screen 😅

The game over tune fits perfectly! 🎉

(also, in the menu I removed that B5 in the 3rd and 4th patterns that was ruining the whole song!)

A scene of "The Heart of Salamanderland" with the mountains in the background and a rocky scenery with deadly spikes at the bottom. A flying soul and a zombie are about. On the left, the hero, on the right, the entry to a dungeon. The hero jumps to the spikes and losing his last life, triggers the game over screen showing as well that 0 tears have been collected. After the game over tune is finished, it goes back to the menu screen.
