Creating Music with ProTracker?

Anyone able to point me to some good resources on creating music with ProTracker? I haven't really found much as far as not having any prior music knowledge, and using that particular Amiga program.

New Post on my Personal Website: Scoping out the Eugene-Springfield Fediverse

I recently wrote up a new post for my personal website about the Fediverse in relation to the Eugene-Springfield area, and figured I'd share it. Let me know what you think!

@verysoft @popcar2 I briefly tried it before when it was the proprietary game engine Amazon Lumberyard. It was alright but personally I prefer developing games without an engine

I would argue that "zero-skill" games can have charm if they're still fun or creative. Perhaps I'm a bit biased though as a beginner gamedev who doesn't have much skill outside of programming though.

That I'll actually finish it

@Ategon
When you think your game's scope is small, it isn't. Keep scoping as tiny as possible so you could finish your game in a week or two

One of my favorite parts of Lemmy is that you can reply to posts (and even post directly to communities) from other ActivityPub services such as Mastodon. That's what I'm doing right now, actually! :p

@nexusnovaz I generally like SDL, and would personally recommend it

@sirdorius @Ategon I think it's just that discussion about it happens on the fediverse, and it was started by some people on the fediverse. Otherwise there doesn't seem to be anything special about it.

I made a horrible mistake with my first game

So for context: I'm a programmer and I like the idea of not using a game engine, but I have no real prior experience with game development specifically.

I thought it was a good idea to make a text adventure game (think Zork) in C, since the language offers great portability, including the ability to run code on the 6502. Also a text adventure game made sense because I can't make art and idk anyone else who wanted to work on a game with me.

This was a terrible idea for a few reasons:

  1. A text adventure game is impossible to make with a small scope
  2. My from-scratch engine wasn't really designed with modifying the game data mid-development in mind
  3. I have no clue what I'm doing.

I just don't know what to do now. Any ideas? @gamedev

Things seem to be better here anyways. Being able to interact with people across different platforms (I'm replying to your comment through Mastodon because it works and it's cool 😎) really does make it feel like "the world of tomorrow" to me

Very interesting read!

This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but it might be better to download each song in a high quality format such as FLAC or WAV. Sure, this is more effort, but it'll be worth it for the great audio quality (if that's something you care about). Just an idea.

If I remember correctly, there's a vim community at @vim . You can also look for communities at https://beehaw.org/communities/listing_type/All/page/1 , including being able to search for them. :)

Season 6 Episode 3 Attack of the Killer App is Still Amazing!

This episode aged soo well! Especially all the commentary about Apple, privacy, and internet culture. It's surprising how well all the jokes aged in spite of all the changes to technology and society since the episode released.

Ok I have a strange request for you (Tor hidden services)

@fediverse @fediversenews

Can you recommend me some Tor Hidden Service fediverse instances? Preferably this would include federation over Tor as well.

I love having an entire live TV channel dedicated to re-runs of old Star Trek episodes

Ok so, I have a little Kodi setup which includes a live tv system hooked up to Pluto so I can grab a bunch of channels for free. Turns out, this includes not one, but two whole channels of just Star Trek!

The first one is mostly TNG and the original series, and the other one ("creatively" called More Star Trek) has mainly Voyager and Deep Space Nine. I like these because I don't even have to think about what episode to watch, and can just enjoy some Star Trek!

The only downside to this is well, ads lol
