I think we are all waiting to see it! Enjoy and hope y'all are feeling better ASAP.

Looks like you compute every single pairwise distance and then sort... right? Is there any way to avoid this?

Man, rust is so fast lol... My part 1 in JS takes like 10 seconds on my laptop.

I just wrapped up day 8.

How do you avoid computing every pairwise distance? Don't you need to compute every pairwise distance so you can sort them and step through?

Thanks for sharing!

I'm also doing JS. I'm normally a python guy. I can follow your code just fine, but how do you run it? Are you using node? I don't see any function to load an input file. Do you have some html you are framing this in?

Seems like a lot of people merged the ranges right away in part 1. I considered it but I've gotten into trouble by anticipating part 2 incorrectly, so I did not.

Delightful so far - thanks! I am taking baby steps into web dev while I solve the problems.

Today - a smidgen of css and open-graph metadata really class up a static website!

I'm a prime candidate for this game, but I've passed. I played the (very generous!) demo, and while it looks great, I found it to be kinda bland. @adzuken.bsky.social captures the vibe well: www.destructoid.com/reviews/revi...

A crusty, purely corporate IP is being revived and used to bolster a deserving indie developer who will now receive a ton of attention on their work. I think this is winning!

Obviously this is beyond a standard user, but it is possible to do a clean install of Windows 11 via a USB installer. Had to do this on my surface, the"flagship" ms platform lol. The support for older silicon is nonsense, and is clearly meant to drive sales via fear.

I've read (and agree) that this game is like the 2d precursor to skyward sword. Both on the linear side, heavily built around the mechanics of the items you get, tight world design with lots of intertwined puzzles. If you like this you should try that one for a 3d jaunt.

For the record - I like chameleon twist!

But also... Any genre in which chameleon twist makes the top 20 needs more competition lol.

It's fun! But it being "one of the best" simply means there aren't enough of these games being made.

It's admittedly been a sec since I played the original. I recently tried to play dkc2 and the difficulty combined with my FOMO of leaving KONG letters and coins behind really brought it down for me.

OOO man, hard disagree. I find that all the issues I have with dkc1 - the squirrelly controls, uncertain hit boxes, and weird level geometry collision - are amplified 10x by the increased difficulty of the sequel. I forgive them in the first game since it's a relaxing romp.

I'm very curious about all of this as well! I would love to make a simple walk/run cycle for a little character, even if it is clearly just segments of a model moving separately.

I hope they do, but they had the gumption to charge full price for the switch 2 update for Sonic generations, no upgrade discount or anything, so I'm not optimistic.

I noticed that. I played one knock out tour, fired up a few older games (someone had to treat sonic frontiers!), and I was suddenly below 80%.
