Stratum (working title unified strata) now supports ?fetch= arguments. this allows you to point at an image or data and have it display. (see example) lardratboy.github.io/nested/neste...

FragCoord v1.0! -Write shaders in WGSL, Slang or even HLSL (experimental) -Build shader sets. Curate collections for teaching, organizing and learning. -Invited creators can now co-edit shaders -And much more!

Hi hi, Dear ImGui 1.92.7 is released! 50+ changes (e.g. tables reworked columns freezing with hidden columns, reorder from context menu, webgpu for emscripten 5 & wgvk native, nav keyboard/gamepad to open context menus, & many fixes/improvements) github.com/ocornut/imgu...

My first game on Steam. As a solo dev this feels unreal. Trailer’s here; if Pegfinity looks fun, a wishlist helps more than you’d think. Thank you♥️#indiedev #indiegame #incrementalgame #GodotEngine

I wonder how many of these were made..

Random game of the day: Beyond Columns (Tetris Style: Brad P. Taylor, 1989) Download/play: https://dosgames.com/game/beyond-columns/ #dosgaming #retrogaming #tetris #puzzle #columns

like a cat-scan but for your data #data #stratum . try out the #sdf #clipping on your own data. (still looking for beta testers..) lardratboy.github.io/nested/neste...

Another terribly named and overly specific data exploration tool, if you have #scumm data and want to explore it as try this out it's not useful but it is neat to see the data from these old games in a new way. codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

new 'through zoom' camera no longer zooms and gets stuck it will move forward instead. new #beta lardratboy.github.io/nested/neste...

While testing the file offset scrub feature. I discovered a new way to enjoy the classics ;) here is an entire #humongous #scumm game being viewed by my tool. don't blink you'll miss it the video is 15 seconds long... www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bpd...

Deluxe Poly #wip - Added layer masks. Here I've applied the white circle layer as a mask to the red rectangle layer. This is all fully nondestructive - you can edit the mask to add more/less to it or move shapes around in the visible layer to get a different end result. #pixelart #lowpoly #indiedev

screen grab from 'unified strata' (working title) this tool can drill down to see your data in different ways, not sure if it's useful but it is certainly a great distraction.. lardratboy.github.io/nested/neste...

#WebGPU tool, I am looking for a few testers.. Please if you do try it let me know if you have any questions, issues or suggestions. lardratboy.github.io/nested/neste...

When I contacted Ron Gilbert about the documentary, he told me "you need to talk to Brad Taylor". And talk to him I will. He goes by @lardratboy.bsky.social on here, and you'll hear lots of tech stories and insights from him if the doc goes ahead. Sign up at scummdoc.com to help get it greenlit.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Continuing our spotlights on recent cast announcements for the documentary, this one needs no introduction but I'll give it anyway: he's the man who made SCUMM, the designer most responsible for killing death in adventure games, and the pun-master of Monkey Island, Ron Gilbert.

Passport to Adventure: The SCUMM Story is a new documentary exploring the games, the creators, and the engine behind Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Sam & Max, Loom, and more. The journey begins early 2026. Join the waitlist at scummdoc.com

Another fidget toy, can you get all 60 stars? codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

When you've worked in the game industry as long as this week's guest as a designer, programmer and SCUMM engine expert - you've seen some stuff! Let's chat with LucasArts and Humongous Entertainment legend Brad P. Taylor! @lardratboy.bsky.social youtu.be/z1ma0PBZGKw

Took a fork of the boxed in matching #game and made a #slot machine / digital #fidget toy, very early build. Thoughts? codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

I've got a #favor to ask, please help me pick a better set of colors for my latest fidget toy, I was just informed me my colors look #bland.. Anyway in the settings menu there is a ... button which lets you choose colors the game blocks, collective mind I need your help. codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

Lovely gradients for the day :-)

I updated both my phone and the computer on the same day and for once apple didn't screw my display setup #goodday wow we do live in the future. Not sure I like the latest glass look (old man shakes fist at sky

sketchfab.com/lardratboy/models 3D projections of games, shader outputs, screen grabs and random data files if you find that sort of thing fun let me know I'm looking for #feedback on the tool I built/used to export them.

some color for your timeline

toying with dataprism and projections, choose the data type, endianness and projection mode and discover something about your data :-)

Just what you've always wanted - a tool to 8 fold mirror point clouds, best used with smaller data files (small is defined by your GPU) codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

📢 Attention: A #Tsunami Advisory has been issued due to an 8.7 earthquake in Kamchatka, Russia. This means dangerous currents are expected to impact #SanFrancisco beaches. Exercise caution, and avoid the shoreline for your safety. 🌊 Follow @sf-emergency.sf.gov for more information and updates

'Eight Neighbors' - my latest gameplay prototype is ready to play. #Claude, #Gemini and I have been collaborating on this puzzle #game. If you play it please let me know what you think. codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

3D or 2d projections of a flat data file - if that is your type of #nerdything go try out my latest tool update. It now supports even more data types, more projections, more fun. Use fractional chunks sizes (0.0625) on old game data/ROM files it is a hoot. codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

Looking for users and #feedback for a chrome extension. Audio Log is a chrome extension that keeps a log of browser tabs that have played audio, that's all it does nothing fancy just pure utility. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/audio... the code is here github.com/lardratboy/A...

Updated my chunked bytes to points tool - added tanh normalized float 16/32 support, updated ply exporter, added quantization. Give it a shot if you like looking at reasonably big data files and exporting them as point clouds. codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

curious shapes in motion (controls: mouse movement, left click pan, right click zoom) glslsandbox.com/e#75464.130

#Claude + #methehuman produced something fun to play with, try it out on numpy files, uncompressed data, #gamedev assets/rom files etc - if you try it out let me know if you find have any #feedback codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

Fresh from #Claude4 here is an updated UI and improved ply exporter. #threejs continues to surprise, my m2 mac 32GB can stay interactive up until about 90M points; if you have a beast of a rig I'd be curious what is the upper range of points this thing can handle. codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

computers are #bonkers - also #javascript + #threejs is way more #capable than I thought. Try your own moderately large hunk of data, and let me know how capable your machine is. (oh yeah I added .glb export) codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

I love looking at encoded data as points, wish I had the ram and compute power needed to do this 20+ years ago. (try your own data codepen.io/lardratboy/f...)

B2Ply - exploring data or images as point clouds is my latest tool/distraction. Maybe you will find it entertaining as well. codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

Claude is still my goto, every so often I revisit month old chats to see how the new models are improving, Claude has improved greatly in the past few months, it's amazing what you can get with just multiple prompts not editing anything by hand, 8-neighbors artifact v.0.5 codepen.io/lardratboy/f...

#vibecoding what was before that #chatcoding (so last month-year..)?!, I've taken to using many chat interfaces (takes a village style development), kind of like carving software out of putty. also I might never execute a piece of code on local silicon again in a few months; exciting and worrying.

Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it. Democrats have 215 members in the House who can stop this extreme effort. All we need is three House Republicans to join us.
