Konrad Hinsen 2022-06-20 12:35:32 Ivan Reese 2022-06-20 14:26:10 I was disappointed that the article isn't at all about hipsters, hippies, or hackers (of which I've been all 3 and have a lasting fondness for), but that's probably for the better since it's taking a lecturing tone and the thumbnail image is sort of grossly punching down.
But the article's advice is solid. Not much more to say about it than that.
Oh, and Swans is a great band. If you don't read the article because of the somewhat mocking thumbnail, note that the hipster shirt is legit.
Konrad Hinsen 2022-06-20 17:12:46 The lecturing tone, bordering on rudeness, is part of Hanzi Freinacht's persona (it's the pen name of two writers who are a lot nicer when speaking under their own names).

Mariano Guerra 2022-06-23 13:01:23 Platformer Toolkit is an interactive video essay. You’ll get to see, first hand, how platformer characters are designed, as you use the toolkit to change and adjust over 30 variables that drive the hero’s movement.
Change Kit’s max speed, jump height, squash and stretch, coyote time, and more - and then play through a sample level with your chosen stats.

No coordinate system. This medium only defines topology and contents of elements, not their location.
this aligns with David Harel’s thoughts on visual formalisms; geometry is secondary to topology. Mainly focusing how the relationship between entities in the visual language rather than their spatial position or size.

Had someone seen this clearly in 1980, and figured out how make a transparent two-way connection between Smalltalk space and text-file space, we might have seen a very different evolution of computing : a true synthesis of Smalltalk and Unix.
This resonates as well. Visual programming languages backed by a textual protocol seems really important. It sort of enables progressive enhancement of visual programming. By default everyone gets textual authoring, in the best case fully visual authoring.
