On November 29, I’ll be at Zig Day Stockholm. I look forward to meeting other Zig enthusiasts there. zig.day/europe/stock...

I just published c7.se/reviving-a-q... where I document the experience of getting my old web server up and running again.

It is a bit fiddly, but it is possible to run two instances of the @fireflyzero.bsky.social emulator, and have their respective inputs synced.

It seems like the current @fireflyzero.bsky.social emulator is consuming >100% CPU doing nothing really, which is a bit unfortunate. Let's hope it can be tweaked somewhat to work better on low end hardware. (like my P1000 GPU)

I've pushed fixes to the `ff.Angle` type, wrote some test cases for it, and also a small example where I'm using `ff.drawArc` to draw some rotating colors. Source code available from play.c7.se/ff/rot/

Really nice how convenient @github.com makes it to have static content published on Pages (`.github/workflows/static.yml` was generated for me). I am now publishing generated @ziglang.bsky.social documentation for `ff` on peterhellberg.github.io/ff/ when I push changes to the module. ⚡

Fixed the getRandom() issue in `ff`, and naturally had to test it out by writing something using that function. Source code available from play.c7.se/ff/rng/

Ported another WASM-4 thing to @fireflyzero.bsky.social For this one I got to do silly things like; if (self.color == .white) { for (&bytes) |*byte| { byte.* = ~byte.*; } } img[0x6..0xE].* = bytes; Source code available from play.c7.se/ff/fp8x8/

Just ported a small WASM-4 demo I made a while back to @fireflyzero.bsky.social using @ziglang.bsky.social, fun stuff 🔥 Updated my `ff` module with conveniences such as: const pal: ff.Palette = .{ .black = 0x000000, .gray = 0x292929, .white = 0xffffff, .orange = 0xf7a41d, };

I have now published github.com/peterhellber... (and github.com/peterhellber...) which makes it trivial for me to get started working on @fireflyzero.bsky.social apps, maybe someone else finds a use for it as well ✨

Today v0.5.1 of the @fireflyzero.bsky.social emulator was released, which means I could finally use it :) (due to me being on Pop!_OS 22.04) What better then to start working on some @ziglang.bsky.social code to make it convenient for me to start hacking on some apps.

Started working on a rudimentary @fireflyzero.bsky.social emulator in Go using Wazero, Ebiten and my Gfx-library. - wazero.io - ebitengine.org - github.com/peterhellber...

The @fireflyzero.bsky.social ROM file format is a Zip archive compressed with Zstandard. For fun I wrote a small CLI in Go to extract these using the lovely compress module by @klauspost.bsky.social (Note that you could just as well use `firefly_cli import <file>`) gist.github.com/peterhellber...

This week I've looked at a few vector databases, and found Qdrant to be quite pleasant to get started with. (Qdrant in combination with Ollama and the LangChainGo library for some small experiments) - qdrant.tech/documentatio... - ollama.com - github.com/tmc/langchai... #golang

Wrote some code to generate a list of the 24 most downloaded 4 color palettes on Lospec. Then started hacking on a little #wasm4 cart in #Zig You can follow along over at: play.c7.se/w4-advent/ (Change day with ↕️)

A neat thing with Typst is that its compiler has a WebAssembly host (in which you can load plugins for use in your .typ files) I wrote a library to make building such plugins in Zig ⚡️pretty convenient: github.com/peterhellber...

@brtkdotse.bsky.social Testar om jag kan posta trots att bsky tycker att mitt handle är invalid.
