Game programming is really hard because some bugs are incredibly subtle and easy to miss

I quote-tweeted about this game earlier on the birdsite, but it's such wholesome fun I thought I should share here — this is Capture the Flag, a once-popular mid-90s shareware DOS game inspired by an overnight boy scouts trip and Sid Meier's Civilization. It's a non-violent and rather-elaborate computer version of the traditional sport, and it has you spend most of your time exploring the map or running across fields and ducking behind rocks, trying to be unseen by the other team(s).
I covered its development and reception in my Shareware Heroes book, along with creator Richard Carr's other excellent games (and the work of many other shareware creators).

A little graphics achivement I’m giddy about: fog now ”gathers” at lowlands and coasts.
Managed to make it piggyback on the vertex shader’s shadow raymarcher, so there’s almost no additional performance cost. #gamedev
incidentally, said iMac was named Aegir independently of a certain Ferdinand von Aegir, but when I noticed I hadn't changed its hard disk icon yet, I finally buckled.
Finally received the keyboard and mouse that originally went to my used 2009 iMac. And decided to rename them. As ya do.

PC/Mac/Linux port of #ZeroWing just landed on Steam. A generation of players may be about to be exposed to All Your Base memes who weren't even born when they came around the first time.
Every zig old is new again.

Having just replied to a lovely new comment on the YouTube video, I’m reminded that it’s been a while since I shared this livestream I did with Escape Velocity creator Matt Burch about the EV series several years ago: https://youtu.be/oYMZQINXW_s

Word of the day, a yiddish slang word:
farpotshket
broken, because someone tried to fix it
This word doesn't just describe something that is broken, but something that is broken specifically because someone else tried to fix it, making it worse. It is used most commonly today to describe software engineering projects.
