I made a game! Just a prototype but fully functional and ready to play for free thanks to @itchio.bsky.social 🎉

Pondering what the next steps might be to push this project along further.

Recycling some old pixel art to jump-start graphics for a little game I'm working on. Tech stack is #C, #SDL3, and #WASM all playing *very nice* together. #pixelart

ECS pattern, where have you been my whole life?! Currently playing around with some roguelike game programming in C. Might even finish something this time.

What happens when one of the main providers that enables #opensource #silicon to thrive...shuts down? Companies like @mith.ro's new wafer.space jump in and offer an even more compelling option. $7K for 1000 chips on the GlobalFoundries GF180MCU process. Learn more:

Coding some sensor firmware with ESP32 IDF took a few weeks longer than I thought it would, but finally all working (again). Telling myself the learning experience was worth the effort. #esp32 #electronics

I'm learning that every day is 'technical debt day'. It's just that some day I'm actively reducing it and other passively increasing it.

This prototype cycle for my temperature and humidity tracker is almost complete with a new 50% slimmer case. It's been quite a journey #electronics #kicad #esp32 #micropython #blender #3dprinting

More tests: x2 devices reporting overnight. One on my desk and the other by a window that gets morning sun. Graphs made in #Grafana. Devices are ESP32C3, #Sensirion sensors and running #Micropython. Testing a smaller battery, hence diverging battery readings. #electronics #ESP32

Temperature and humidity sensor development continues on the software front. Sleeping the hardware for 4secs between reads yields ~34.5 hrs of life on a 1100mAh battery. Going to try caching data locally and connecting/sending across the network less often next. #esp32 #micropython #electronics

I've just updated my minimal Raspberry Pi GPIO pinout, fixing the print CSS (still some work to do, I think) and making interfaces clickable to highlight related pins: pi.pinout.xyz
