hopefully apple does something in between the beta and public release to improve this! But turning everything transparent was always going to be a hit on battery life…
Hi, I’m sbird! I like to make all sorts of things!

I mean that’s fair. I might get to doing that at some point


that is the buggy region where it’s difficult to wall jump! I have absolutely no idea why it’s like that, there’s nothing different about it (it’s all just tilemap tiles like everything else…) but wall jumping is very tricky there. In my experience you really have to hold on to the wall before jumping since it doesn’t seem to register you’re on the wall properly


Hold on, is it the part where you the ledge was just higher than double jump height and there’s no obvious walljump to get up there? (see the second screenshot, is it that part?) That’s a tricky section where you have to jump to the left wall, wall jump to the right, then double jump. Alternatively, people have tried jumping to the right wall, wall jumping to the left, holding right, and double jump.


Ah ok. Good to know that wall jumping is intuitive enough :D


Thanks! Which part did you get stuck in? I’m not sure why, but the very last wall jump has some weird issue where it doesn’t register half the time, and there’s nothing different about it. Weird. Or was wall jumping not intuitive enough (it’s pressing the button that is opposite to the direction of the wall, e.g. left for a wall like <-|, right for a wall like |->)
Particles for the spacey backgrounds seems like a good tip, thanks!
not sure how to upload html game. I’ll need to figure that out. Maybe my next game could be an html game :>


that makes sense. But then you have words like “differentiate” (find the difference between vs multiplying the coefficients by the indexes and reducing the indexes by one) but I guess it’s because the math “differentiate” isn’t really used by people who don’t so math (whereas something like addition or multiplication is used in everyday tasks)


whoops maybe I should havw worded it a bit differently


oop ok. Wait, production is a word for multiplication? never knew that…


as a recent linux “convert” running fedora workstation, it works fantastic :D


I’m not done with it yet! It’s mostly complete, this weekend I’ll probably polish it up a bit. The deadline for this project is monday, so it should be done by then :D


honestly, the little decorations (grasses, flowers, rocks) turned out REALLY NICE. I also think the dialogue UI looks cool too.


I recently installed Fedora on my own 2-in-1 flippy laptop, and it works well. The screen rotates when I rotate the device, touchscreen works, and the stylus works as well.


we do not live in a perfect world and we will not live in one in the forseeable future…


local music players are awesome! On Windows I like AIMP and Gapless is very good on Fedora Workstation and is what I use now to listen to music


I would guess they know a bit about lists using “-“ and a few people might know about using asterisk to bold stuff, but other than that probably not.


Oh yeah it would be a nightmare for non-english speakers for sure. Interesting that German is more phonetically consistent than English (stuff like “Karl” make more sense now)

no, they didn’t talk about that in WWDC so I’m pretty sure that’s not a thing (yet). I haven’t tried yet though, I’m not sure.
