It's fun when games contain their own playable retro version, either a demake or a previous series entry. Often this is accessed by interacting with an old computer, console, or arcade cabinet within the game world.

You know what'd be really funny though? A demake accessed from the settings menu by putting the graphics slider ALLLLL the way down.

it doesn't even do any of the main things i want it to do yet, this is so far mostly setup/pretext

i love python for enforcing consistent indentation in code. i hate PEP 8 for choosing the wrong one

arguments against space as indentation:

  • lack of accessibility
  • lack of standardisation (i have seen, no joke, a codebase i worked on professionally with 3 spaces per level. and we were forced to maintain it)
  • confusion when inputting depending on editor (if your tab key produces tabs not spaces, you have to press space several times per level to match rest of file)

arguments against tab as indentation:

  • nhgguuuhh i don't know how to make tab smaller in my editor waaaah

for as much as i despise the ubiquity of javascript and the paradigm of web browser as an operating system, index.html and app.js is the quickest and lowest entry barrier to getting a cross-platform client-side program as a by-product of enshittification

Idk I like management games and rts games and I want a fusion of them, I want an rts that is always in top down battle view, units are persistent, you have to manage resources in real time, craft or buy upgrades, maybe make it a roguelite, idk
