Want to see something kind of chill? I spent all weekend soaking my head in Sunvox to cobble together a cover version of the C64 Swinth Demo cover version of the theme to The Stationary Ark.
More I want to do with this, but here's work in progress
So I took a break from not finishing a video game to glue together the SunVox Library and my glowy vector drawing code.
And also I remembered that there's a deep groove made in my brain from hours watching the Swinth demo as a kid on C64
So, like, I remembered that there's a JS / WASM version of the SunVox Library for playing songs from SunVox
Uploading some weird stuff to itch.io in a misguided effort to motivate myself to make more things to upload to itch.io
While I fret about this, I have at least moved my laptop to a table outside in my back yard, opened a beer, and am watching bees be productive.
Current status: I have several more days than usual off work. Woke up with many ideas of things do to. Started thinking I should organize these ideas.
... time passes ...
None of the kanban or todo apps I've surveyed are satisfying so I am now considering writing my own card sorting web app and maybe learn the Svelte web framework while I'm at it
As is my wont, I made another Spotify playlist while doing my space trucking in EVE Echoes. It's kind of weird but I think it flows.

Hnnngggg, I want to get good at SunVox so I can make music like this for the game I'm working on that I will never finish

I'm using the Hershey vector fonts, made back in 1967 and available in a form nicely parsed into x/y line coordinates. That this particular typeface looks nicely future-retro is an amazing perk
Got some letters & numbers rendering in my little vector graphics engine last night. Rather pleased with how Nixie-tube-esque they look
