Open source Minnesotan, making Veridian Expanse (@VeridianExpanse). I made the Chipmunk2D physics engine, and some other fun libraries. By day, I do a lot of game adjacent work like therapeutic VR, real time drone mapping, and math for heavy machinery.

Profile picture is me wearing headphones with a cat laying across my shoulders.

Oh, I suppose I forgot to share this. There was a game convention in town a few weeks ago and I got to try running SLORTH! (my toy 6502 Forth implementation) on a C64U.

Worked great! Debugger, disassembler, everything. I’ve now run it on 3 bit of real hardware. (Along with Apple //e, and NES)

Ermagerd. To people that have never *really* worked with map projections extensively: You pick the map projection that has useful properties for the map you want to show.

Driving directions use (web) mercator projection for *very* good reasons. It’s crap as a global projection sure, but when do you use it for that‽

The whole let’s-adopt-a-new-standard is very “huh?” From me. In school in the 90’s (in the US) I remember size preseving maps, and they taught us that mercator distorted sizes.

@nprofile1q... I just want them to fix the terrible UX problem where you type into the same box regardless if you are writing something new or replying to somebody. The number of times I've made a *completely* out of context post that was supposed to be a reply... Aurgh!

It's like a 5% chance.

@nprofile1q... Oooh! This looks super cool. You should be putting Steam links and a call to action (try the demo / wishlist now) in your posts. I had to scroll back through your timeline a ways before I found one. ;)

No reason not to add one now since you can edit posts on Mastodon!

@nprofile1q... Right? When the total eclipse near here happened a few years ago, I had to be talked into going to see it. I'd seen a handful of partial eclipses, which were (as we now know) pretty underwhelming. You can only tell by looking closely at shadows, or by wearing special glasses. Big whoop right? :p

I wouldn't have believed the corona looked like that if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Pictures don't really do it justice. :) Looked like it was straight out of sci fi!

Total eclipse from the south of Catalunya. It’s probably the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen, picture does not do justice to how impressive it is. Now I want to play Saros again 🌚🌞 https:...

@nprofile1q... Yeah! It's wild right? I remember thinking how at 75% covered it started to look a little overcast maybe, and even at 99% covered it still just felt like a cloudy day in the evening. (Except for it was early afternoon, so the dimness and the angle just looked *wrong*)

It really wasn't until the last few seconds that it actually started to seem dark. So weird!
