These last few days I started replaying an old game from my childhood, Dark Chronicles on PS2. I have very fond memory of this, and I still find it pretty cool today!
The one thing I didn’t remember is that there are a few quite… sexy… monsters! 😮
Today I worked a little on our (with @Hiro and @Reptifur) keyboard.
First time soldering an SMD component. Not the best job of course, but it wasn’t that hard! I just had to use a lot of flux!
The little socket is an 8-bit bus (or 5 lines + SPI bus) for external devices as well as initial programming. I tried programming it through that and it worked first try! :D
Next session will be soldering 70 diodes and 70 switches… x)
I wanted to know how the keyboard feels so I assembled it and put all the switches and keycaps (no electronics yet). I’m very happy with the result! It’s cute, the sound is good and it doesn’t bend *at all*.
Yaay! I got Ensemble (my #Matrix client) to work on my ancient (2009) Maemo smartphone!
Now to make the necessary changes so that it doesn’t drain the battery or data too fast (I have a 50MB data plan on this thing 😛)

There are so many cool cartoon artists (and other kinds as well of course!) on the fediverse… I wish I had money to commission them all. 😢
Little music I made for my #Lisp #gamejam game. It’s not really polished or well recorded, but I’m quite happy. 🙂

Starting a #stream!
I will train my OpenGL skills by trying to reproduce Butine’s graphics with shaders.
Little #stream of #chickenscheme code. Working on the Ensemble #matrix client, fixing bugs and annoyances.

Todo for this session:
- Improve the new windowing system
- Rework some key bindings
- Start working on multi-profile support
All that while listening to the new Pandrezz and Chiptunes=WIN releases. :)
#CHICKEN #Scheme 5.0.0 release candidate 1 is now available!
Major changes:
- core modules layout
