Posts: 63 Joined: 2022-06-29	I've made very little recently, and generally wanting to remove programming from being The thing I always think about but never do. I would like to try making & editing a video, using camera footage, though I am unsure on what to create. The more concrete ideas are making a short explainer on a topic I find interesting, using cut out paper and physical props on a desk. This comes from me liking vihart's videos, which I just spent a while trying to remember the name of by looking up old videos but it seems their channel has been deleted?? I'm not sure what other videos I would make! For a long time I've feel like I obsess over computers way too much despite them not actually being that fun to me anymore, and me not actually doing anything much creating wise on them anymore. Every idea ends up being wrapped up in having it computerified, which means I don't make things. :/ I keep telling myself to get back into doodling, and other interests, but having a thought of 'Should' around things makes me not do them.

Posts: 63 Joined: 2022-06-29	I enjoy Lua a lot, though admittedly I am lacking in experience with compiled languages. Using them would likely be beneficial to me. For toys, I like to implement things with Lua, I never get far beyond a working impl and then messing with it a bit, I just enjoy writing the program Yesterday I wrote an X11 client with renders some text and does keyboard input, using Lua (5.4 this time) and a socket library. Annoyingly Unix Domain sockets can't be opened using the regular file function! Despite the fact they're literally just streams, and appear in the file tree…

Posts: 63 Joined: 2022-06-29	I would play, I've increasingly found Minecraft boring in recent years, but I think this is due to playing it solo. For these sorts of things it (obviously?) helps to have a regular somewhat scheduled time where people play together. Release 1.7 is where I started playing Minecraft so I am naturally biased to versions around there. I played a bit of Beta 1.7 recently on 2beta2t which was kinda fun walking around and exploring the mess, but once I got out to the wilderness it's basically just solo playing again which meh. I would be down for anything pre-1.13, though just playing 1.12 isn't a very interesting idea

Posts: 63 Joined: 2022-06-29	Yes! I have the source on my laptop, I'll upload it to a git later. As I remember it, it is literally the bare minimum to have something work, a mash of not the best Lua With intent to fiddle with b1.7.3 again, I was poking around in a semi-deobfuscated copy of the game recently. Good god maybe it's partly the obfuscation but the code is messy & confusing. Drew was working on a Beta client again recently, in his Hare programming language: https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/betamine/ I've not tried it yet, so no comments. Edit: Looks like it already was a git repo! https://git.sr.ht/~olive/fourdee I'd come up with better names for some packets, so I've just added a commit with those.

Posts: 63 Joined: 2022-06-29	My main problem wish Mastodon is that it becomes a quick time drain I need to go and prune who I'm following, as over time it became chocka with people who post often, and people who post more jokes/sillies than genuine things… meaning it was more than I could ever hope to keep up with, a similar issue to how Twitter was. Being able to turn off a person's boosts appearing in your global feed is really handy though, I wish on their profile page they were seperate too. Anyway! I've been at olive@tech.lgbt for a while.

Posts: 63 Joined: 2022-06-29	Yet again, found my password! Promising is entirely the opposite of what you should think of anything I do In typical me fashion this didn't go much further, partly due to me finding a new thing to try and a lot because b1.7.3's protocol is absolute- not very good. I moved onto designing my own protocol and then that went nowhere. I might pick up one of my Classic, Beta, or my own protocols again now you've reminded me of it… just really need to pick a better thing to use for 3D graphics than Löve2D (LöVR maybe… I like the idea of SDL3 but that requires doing 3D from GPU up which I know little about.)

Posts: 63 Joined: 2022-06-29	Found my password after a long while \(^ ° ^)/ hello again Been fiddling with writing a Minecraft server, but rather than the well-documented Classic Protocol (& extensions) I've done before, the more "Who's Documentation?" Beta 1.7. I separated out an old copy of wiki.vg docs which are very useful but don't describe how to actually use half the packets. (Praise be to whoever the "Great Old Ones" are.) Just got it to send a stone & air world and have the client spawn-in, after… too much getting simple things wrong. Used LuaJIT to FFI in libdeflate for chunk encoding to then be very happy you can skip that altogether and just send mass block changes! (Winsnore for the client as I just could not get it to run on my Linux) Everything pure Lua so far, featuring inefficient number→binary en/decoding, and `assert(false)`ing on trying to decode a 64-bit number too large to be safe in a Lua float for now. and I am very grateful to Lars for his float encoder which I've bodged in for now Next step is to handle multiple clients, let them see each other, and then to let people interact with the world…
