Still finding my footing in this world.

I wrote a bash script to download bluesky embeds from newsboat. I'm not terribly happy with it, but it helps fill the hole in my heart for a newsboat-like bluesky client.

I think this is the first interesting result I have had trying to make music, but unfortunately:

- I am still not very good
- The style is not what I want

I might yet admit defeat and find some nice creative commons tracks.

Another active ability because it was easier than working on minigame 2.

Still working on the second minigame, but I had an idea for a neat active ability that reveals bad job listings.

But I do not want prefixes!
Happily, the compiler is just a program and is therefore at our mercy. Copy-paste the entire Raylib library from your Odin install into your package's namespace and be on your way.
(Some assembly required.)
A basic raylib example, with no import or prefixes. ```odin package main main :: proc(){ InitWindow(800, 600, "test") for !WindowShouldClose() { BeginDrawing() ClearBackground(BLACK) EndDrawing() } CloseWindow() } ``` The directory structure: main.odin raylib/ raylib.odin

There used to be a `using import` shortcut that fixed this, but it was explicitly removed at some point. Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not believe there is a replacement.
A basic raylib example with the `using import` syntax. ```odin package main using import "vendor:raylib" main :: proc(){ InitWindow(800, 600, "test") for !WindowShouldClose() { BeginDrawing() ClearBackground(BLACK) EndDrawing() } CloseWindow() } ``` The resulting error from the previous program: 'using import' is not allowed, please use the import name explicitly

Most Odin examples will show you that to use Raylib, you must prefix your way into its namespace. Some would say the prefix exists for code maintenance reasons.
But the real reason is to annoy you so that you don't finish making your video game.
A basic raylib example, where symbols are prefixed with "rl". ```odin package main import rl "vendor:raylib" main :: proc(){ rl.InitWindow(800, 600, "test") for !rl.WindowShouldClose() { rl.BeginDrawing() rl.ClearBackground(rl.BLACK) rl.EndDrawing() } rl.CloseWindow() } ```

This is what the game looks like so far. I haven't mentioned, but it's kind of a clicker game with minigames.

Little minigame to get more job listings so you can look at more job descriptions so you can apply for more jobs because you need a job!! #gamedev

Accidentally made a horror sting for the upgrade sound. Fitting in a game about devoting too much of yourself to applying for jobs, but not what I was going for.

Hello. I will be sharing development of Applicant Hell, a game I am making to stay sane in the depths of unemployment.
