The latest TestFlight build of Dice by PCalc has a new Pride dice theme which can be tinted to show a wide variety of flags (all the ones that are in PCalc currently).
I'm generating the stripes on the fly, based on a underlying greyscale gradient texture, so I should be able to use that same technique for more intricate designs that can be recoloured.
@stuart I have thought about it, but making and distributing physical products is a real pain! I am tempted to do something, but I'd probably have to get about few thousand dice made for it to be cost effective.
@craiggrannell I think now they are just available to buy without a waiting list. There’s a lot of indie inventiveness for it, I think it would be up your street!
What a curiously dispassionate post on The Verge about their parent company signing a deal with OpenAI. It’s interesting that they posted about it in a way that lumps it together with the other deals and there’s no statement from The Verge’s famously opinionated leadership about what this deal means for publishing, journalism, and the open web.
Me from 27 years ago (who was very excited by the release of Mac OS 8.1) would be pleased with me from today:
Disk Jockey now parses HFS+ volumes (and extracts files from it).
It's not out yet, and there is more work to be done, but soon.
Disk Jockey parses MFS, HFS and HFS+ volumes.
Studying how the humble MFS (no folders! Floppy only!) has evolved into the omnipresent HFS+ has been a fascinating journey.
These old Play Meter magazines are full of threatening WE'RE GONNA SUE YOU! ads. I remember seeing some of them (usually from Atari) in our game mags BITD but these coinop trade mags take it to a different level.
Mr. Thomson, are you providing/selling version 1.x of your PCalc application for Macintosh System 7 anywhere? It looks like it’s on https://www.gryphel.com/c/sw/math/pcalc/ but it feels…..wrong….downloading it from a site that isn't yours…
@daniel@Verso They asked me to use them for merch fulfilment, so I never went through the formal submission process. But once you've got a few designs up, you can submit whatever you want.
