I got an idea for game mechanic I wanted to test and ended up learning bit of Godot to try it out.

This was fun. I like the little bounce of playing field when the block hits the bottom. And it loads pretty fast for a Godot web game.


Thank you! I like it and people I have shown it to say it feels ”addictive”, but something is missing as I am the only person who keeps playing after some levels :D so maybe it’s for me only.

I had an idea for a puzzle game and learned some game programming to try it out. Only made it to scratch my own curiosity and was postively surprised how fun the process was. I got some of my friends hooked but other than that of course absolutely no one saw it. World is full of casual puzzles.


This is very well made. I love that you can share links to levels. Have you thought about user-generated levels stored in base64 URLs?

The same place music in the film is coming from.


Then again trying to solve wordle with it will drive you mad

Oh my god I can't wait to read this. lol


Thanks, added arrow keys and (a & d). It's a good improvement for desktop. Godot is nice and has all the basic things for casual game like this out of the box. For HTML5 it feels bit heavy, but on the other hand enables building for iOS, Android etc.

I don't know how it compares to others as this is my first game.


Arrow keys work great, thanks!


I have been running my model B as a VJ tool. It runs glsl shaders in SD resolution quite nicely. Has composite output straight in the board.


I remember it was also that cloud as a term was pure marketing hype. Unnecessary rebranding of a thing we already had a good name for, servers. And also to pick such a irrational name ”cloud” which didn’t relate to technology at all. You could hear everyone use it in nonsense high flying keynotes. All the hands-on computer people laughed at it and I think cloud to butt was part of that.

In the end it’s actually really good word for newish concept and using it does not feel silly to me anymore.


I sort of wish companies would not have employees passwords. Hashing should be standard practice.


It must be, but publishing old passwords can still be done by saving the old cleartext password on password change.


As in store "old password" as cleartext on its final use?


Yes, that was my initial thought on how to make this possible. In my case, the company where I contract has a dedicated application (on Mac, at least) for password changes: record the old password and share it once the new password has taken effect.


The last password, to be posted, could be stored in plain text on the password change form submit action. Before that it is only ever committed to permanent storage as a hash.


There is lot of talk and debate about building wind, nuclear doing the green transition etc. in Finland. I guess like in every country. Somehow it makes me sad that group of open source developers could do more today than we ever can to help the planet no matter how much we scale back.

Although they built the hell machine in the first place, so maybe better if they would not have ever done anything.


Well, in that perspective 'green production' seems like the right thing to be talking about (vs. cutting usage, say) - if you over-produce you can always export, selling 'green' energy to a country that might otherwise have been buying 'brown'.
