Trying to spread awareness again for Tilemap Town, my visual MU* and hangout: https://novasquirrel.com/town/

It's open source and has a documented protocol, and is designed around the idea of collaboratively designing 2D maps with other players. You can use custom graphics for map tiles, and custom player graphics (if you can make a 32x32 doodle of a character, you can play as them!)

I've been working on it since 2017 so the software has had a lot of time to mature, but I've had a hard time helping it find its audience. If anyone knows how to reach people interested in lighthearted SFW furry I'd really like to know. I'm also hoping to specifically establish fantasy themes if possible!

it's funny to look at those "good2grow" juice bottles with the plastic character tops, and among all the Peppa Pig and My Little Pony and Paw Patrol there's Shadow the Hedgehog

My fifth proxy shopping order came in! (Game Boy Color for scale)

It got kicked off by seeing that a Terriermon toy I wanted that walks and says "moumantai", but then I realized I could get the cool albums I saw on YouTube since they weren't very expensive. One of them seems to be a Super Audio CD which is interesting.

The Shinx light is silly and bigger than I expected, and I got some cute Pokémon blind boxes, though I already knew what would be in there.

Two Pokémon decorations. One of them is an Emolga napping in a little house suspended from a hook, on a cushion. The other decoration is dessert themed and it's a Pachirisu next to an Emolga on some sort of ice cream sundae?

I feel strongly about making sure people understand the rights they have in regard to being able to build off of stuff companies have made, but I feel like I'm being annoying and pedantic when I point it out. I think companies do try to deliberately obfuscate how things really work because it benefits them if people think they have more control than they legally do, or think that control lasts forever.

@NovaSquirrel This had always been a difficult topic to wrap your head around, generally people think of the projects that have been taken down due to some breach of copyright law or similar, I have yet to fully understand it myself and have made efforts to untie anything I make from it's inspiration to both make em more unique and avoid potential legal problems I'd have no resources to fight against.

If there was a clear guide on how one can expand on an existing world or a set of rules one must follow to avoid confrontation, that'd be super helpful.

It'd be cool to see more people (or communities) try and make their own little hangouts online. Websockets make it really simple to have a basic chat app because they simplify everything down to the point where you can send and receive strings, and the client can just be a webpage.

Though I admit most people probably want features like a history, uploading images, or good handling for unreliable internet connections, and those aren't exactly trivial. I specifically wanted something where presence is meaningful and where everyone isn't just expected to be reachable all the time, myself.

@NovaSquirrel

I think minimum would be like, 10 lines of history (or the past 10 minutes?), just to get a bit of context. Wouldn't call it a necessity but it helps for folks with bad connection (or if a system ends up crashing / power outage)

The fact I got this work with little modification is incredible.

For Context, this is Gatoslip locked on to S&K

Gatoslip, locked on with Sonic & Knuckles, exploiting it's game detection to run arbitrary code and insert a new character, alongside changing the music.

I'm using Animal Crossing: New Leaf's "talk to random strangers online" feature and everyone is so open about talking about Pretendo and custom firmware and everything.

I guess there's no reason not to be; what's Nintendo going to do, ban me from the service they're shutting down tomorrow?

@NovaSquirrel mhm that-s the worst case scenario I feared xwx

I've seen other games pull this, definitely a better ending than supporting what is now technically considered a dead system.

Turns out Tilemap Town had a mistake in the autotile lookup table (1 instead of -1) that I didn't catch until now, because it looked ok with the graphics I was testing with

Using the wrong conditional branch can lead to stories like these

It's one of those things where you'll only find the edge case when someone finally comes around to make custom content, funny how I keep being the one to find those within people's projects ;w;

I want people who make music with Famitracker and similar tools to actually release NSFs of their songs so I can listen to them on my NES instead of just on YouTube

@VAdaPEGA@chitter.xyz avatar

@NovaSquirrel
I remember when years ago the NSF for the Shovel Knight ost was released as is, I think i still have it somewhere.

Anything by Meta is a no go... and Twitter shooting Europe out of their platform only makes the decision to move there even more nonsensical.

I have way more framed art than I have room to put them up. I guess that means I'll have to rotate out what I'm displaying?

VAdaPEGA,
@VAdaPEGA@chitter.xyz avatar

@NovaSquirrel
You could season them, have a set for Summer and Winter vibes and the likes

@NovaSquirrel@chitter.xyz avatar

Realizing that the 10 minute time limit that early Sonic games have actually would have potentially helped with technical stuff a little bit. If you're counting the number of frames that have gone by in a 16-bit variable, that can only go up to about 18 minutes before wrapping around.

So I'm currently writing code to work around the wrapping juts to be extra safe, whereas a time limit means you just, wouldn't have to care because the level would be over.

VAdaPEGA,
@VAdaPEGA@chitter.xyz avatar

@NovaSquirrel
If time was just a single 16-bit number, sure, but in actuality,
4 bytes are dedicated for time, 1 for centiseconds, 1 for seconds and 2 for minutes!

The reason why it's implemented this way is because it makes it simpler to calculate the number to be displayed without having to convert time every second.

For fun, here's what it looks like if the 9:59:59 check is disabled, fast forwarded

VAdaPEGA,
@VAdaPEGA@chitter.xyz avatar

@NovaSquirrel
(note: while 2 bytes are dedicated to minutes, only one of them gets used due to how the code handles it, meaning there can only be 256 minutes, which is about 4.27~ hours.)

oh you want to "flirt" with me? first you gotta roll the biggest number on this die
pulls one of these out

@roxy
I better see the lowest number so it rolls into the negatives forcing you to flirt with me instead (actually don't I'd feel weird)

You think anyone's actually gonna go for Bluesky? Because to me it just sounds like "Mastodon but for corporations" and idk if I trust another Dorsey site, the cryptobro

@roxy I'm curious about that myself
