bottom line: we (liberals, lefties, anti-racists, pro-trans, et all) simply cannot accept the implicit premise that fascists are the authentic brits, that they have the right to be heard & we do not, that any disagreement must be solved by us listening to them

Absolutely revolting that this is becoming normalized as a policy www.politico.eu/article/germ...

I've realised I've not posted about Strawberry Src here - I've created a code/text file editor for #picotron, and you can find it here: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=148... It's a bit of a down-scope from SpaghettiCode, instead more like Picotron's inbuilt editors but with new QoL features.

Ah yes, the 5 essential elements of the universe. #picotron

Improving (err.. fixing) sandboxed file access for #picotron 0.2.0e so that it can properly handle tools running directly out of the bbs. Here's the incredible Strawberry Src by @xietanu.bsky.social running as a drop-in replacement for the default lua/txt editor (note the workspace icon).

also inventing medicine that controls chronic conditions is good and acting like it's a bad thing because it costs money is fucked up

Anything less than full Nuremberg trials will be a failure

Nose wheels and taxiing are a thing now. #pico8

new game alert!! MOLE MOLE - out now ! 💣 Blow stuff up 🛌 Take a NA P 🌊 Turn around don't drown!! 🥵 25 (ish) levels of undergroun ADVENTURES 📲 Works decent ish on your phone even ! adamatomic.itch.io/mole-mole

Doring more experimenting with userdata operations in #picotron - this time out a particle system with batch drawing. The result: fireworks over Düsseldorf, reflected in the Rhine.

So, finding out userdata operations in #picotron are pretty powerful? Here's real-time handwritten digit recognition in Picotron, with the model updating each frame and only using around 4% of the CPU.

Trying to create somewhat recognisable farmland and suburbs without spending too many sprites. #pico8

This feels particularly mask-off to me. TERFs have spent a lot of effort to create a narrative that their bigotry is 'protecting women', but pretty hard to make argument like that for ace people (and JK doesn't even really try). Give it 2 years and she'll be spewing some tired old bi-phobia.

everyone should be calling this what it is, which is murder. every cut to social security, to medicaid, means people who depend on those programs will die, which is the goal. these are the Death Panels the right lied about

Those who learned history's lesson of the Holocaust appear to be today's concentration camp guards and gestapo, whose takeaway appears to be "obscure your identity when participating in crimes against humanity." Other institutions have forgotten this main lesson: there is no appeasing fascists.

This is the inevitable outcome of transphobic ideology. It harms cis people as well as trans if you don't fit a stereotype. If you don't look or act a specific way conjured up in the minds of the gender critical brigade you are, what they consider, a fair target. www.thepinknews.com/2025/03/27/c...

Pulling together some my work on SpaghettiCode into a library for creating dynamic UIs in #picotron. E.g. the column on the right is 30% of the window width, with a minimum width of 80px. Aiming for something kind of like CSS flexboxes? Hoping this'll be useful for a few projects down the road!

Trying out a theme setting for SpaghettiCode to give an easier/more unified way to change up the colours. I just have a few thrown-together examples at the moment, but I plan to add more and a way for users to define their own. #picotron

Adding the ability to edit saved carts, as well as the RAM, to SpaghettiCode - making it usable while sandboxed. Any cart in its appdata folder will be editable. The run button also works to run the loaded cart rather than just what's in the RAM! #picotron

Got the file explorer in SpaghettiCode to be quite a bit more fully functioned - you can now drag and drop to move files around, or right click for options like creating new files and folders, cut/copy/paste and delete. #picotron

Thank goodness. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/new-...

Still chipping away at SpaghettiCode, my #picotron code editor. Currently I'm looking at changing how the autocomplete works - instead of one suggestion, it would give you options you can select using the arrow keys. (also, it can now suggest local variables as well as function names!)

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Work on my #picotron code editor, SpaghettiCode, has been delayed a bit by me getting a really nasty case of the flu, but feeling better now and have some exciting stuff cooking. I'm completely re-writing the backend to make it much more stable/faster for large files and also... pod-embedding!

The first version of my textmode graphics editor made in/for Picotron is released! www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=147... #picotron #textmode

#picotron 0.1.1e binaries are up! www.picotron.net Changelog: www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico... 0.1.1e now sandboxes bbs carts by default. See: www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico...

You can use the shape of the wall to support yourself as well as regular holds to reach new heights! Still messing around with this in-between working on SpaghettiCode - the movement feels nicer and smoother with a controller. #picotron #gamedev #indiedev

ok, time to roll out #picotron 0.1.1e (;^ _ ^) First up is the new BBS runtime, including: copy/paste, tooltray widgets, png & gif capture, and kinda-persistent file storage (IndexedDB). Try it in your browser with a windowed cart like picocalendar by pck404: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=142...

For those that didn't had chance to discover it, please do yourself a favor this weekend: 1. Go to www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php 2. Purchase Pico-8 fantasy console. 3. Develop your first tiny game. #gamedev #solodev

Taken a brief break from SpaghettiCode updates to have a bit more of a mess around with #picotron - some inbuilt linear algebra is really useful! Keep on climbing up that wall! Not sure this is going to be a full game but was really fun to throw together as a quick tech demo.

Quick update on the game~ I had to tear out almost all the code so I could make it extensible for more players. I kept putting it off b/c it seemed like a lot of work. But it went okay when I finally sat down to do it. Still lots of stuff not working, but it's coming together.

alright y'all let's let's just do this SKELETON GELATIN, out now on adamatomic.itch.io/skeleton-gel... !! 🍮 World's FIRST "blobtroidvania" (maybe) (I haven't checked) 📉 No upgrades 💀 No HP 🏃 No jumping 🏆 No items I do not recommend attempting an all-skulls run until you have finished a regular!

SpaghettiCode v0.2.0 (my #picotron code editor) is now live! You can find it here: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=161... Most of the feedback so far is addressed in this update - the rest is planned. Big thanks to everyone to offered feedback, especially @werxzy.itch.io. Changelog in replies.

SpaghettiCode, my #picotron code editor, is now available (in alpha)! You can find it here: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=161... Key features: - Enhanced syntax highlighting - Function tooltips - Edit up to 3 files side by side - Autocomplete function names - Testing environment for your functions

Wor Games for #picotron is now released and playable for free at: pahammond.itch.io/wor-games Had great fun making this one and I have such great memories playing Wizard of Wor on the #c64 with my dad as a kid 😍 #arcade #gamedev #pico8 #retrogaming

A cross-party joint statement from LGBT+ Liberal Democrats, Rainbow Greens, LGBTQIA+ Greens, and Out for Independence on Wes Streeting’s engagement with anti-trans organisations and call for his resignation. Read and share the full statement here: lgbt.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

I wonder who may be responsible for this, Daily Mail?

how about no dem votes on the debt ceiling or CRs until they agree to appoint an independent special prosecutor to investigate what happened

Experimenting with writing/running code tests from within my #picotron code editor. The presentation is a bit rough and edge cases need fixing, but seems to be broadly working? As well as a pass/fail, it provides messages explaining fails to the user where possible.

How is anyone supposed to believe that Labour is going to ban conversion therapy if the health secretary is sympathising with conversion therapy groups that advocate child abuse? Absolutely sick. This should be a career ending scandal

Let's spend 10 years attacking something for no reason then see how the public feel. Helen Joyce quoted.

"I have created a cart in Picotron that exports color palette files for Aseprite. #picotron #aseprite

Most of my recent work on my #picotron code editor has been basics (e.g. adding undo/redo) or improving performance, but I am experimenting with highlighting local variables by colour. Is this helpful? Is it a bit much? Definitely think I'll add options to turn off/adjust. #pico8

New feature for SpaghettiCode, my WIP #picotron code editor - it's now possible to have up to 3 files open side by side. You can also have 2/3 copies of the same file open, scrolling independently and staying synced with each other. Thanks to @curseofremy.bsky.social for the idea! #pico8

Not made too much visible progress on my #picotron code editor, but have written a json parser library for loading in some of the data it needs - I've posted it to the picotron forums in case it's useful to anyone else: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=146... #pico8

Reached my first milestone for SpaghettiCode, my #picotron code editor - it has the features & stability that I'm (mostly) using it to develop itself. Now added: - Loading code from across a cart, so tooltips & autocomplete work across files - Can jump from a function name to its definition #pico8
