A friend and I entered the #FallingBlockJam!

Here’s what we made: ailurian.itch.io/block-rain

This time I learned my lesson: in jams, publish for web!

We didn’t get to finish everything (and there are some bugs), but it’s pretty playable... once the initial shader-loading stutter passes.

I stumbled upon this video, I liked it, so I'm sharing it

Since I was a kid in the 80s, I loved cartoons with animal characters like Get Along Gang, Gummy Bears, and Swat Kats. My fondest memories, though, are of Care Bears. If you're like me, there’s a Kickstarter you might like to check out.

I joined PyWeek #39: a week-long game jam to build a Python game from scratch (using publicly available libraries, and media is allowed, though). The theme was "Downstream."

Here's what I came up with:

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
