Today I realised that "Vimeo" is so named because it's an anagram of "Movie".
Today's run for #TransDayofVisibility was also first day of Knees Visibility for 2026. Nice shorts and I hope TERFs suitcases are always last off the baggage carousel.
Heaton Park #Parkrun
Second time doing the Parkrun, and it is my PB course. No PB - Angina Hill did me in. Finished in front of the 34 minute pacer so I am happy with it. About 90 seconds off my PB, expended far too much effort for somebody going to a day rave today.
Had a Birthday Bavarian Slice.
Title screen work - does anybody have an idea for a title?
Expanded the level editor, and introduced a new enemy that expands twice as fast. Should now be just creating levels and polish.
Not bad for being in a "CBA" mode today.
Dear France
84+ points s'il vous plait and Merci.
Game update
A couple more enemies built tonight. A bullet cross and diagonal as well as slower bullet hell enemies. Also discovered a nasty collision detection bug.
Built another "Game Over" condition of the circle being filled up.
Think the engine is finished...maybe one more...
So this is exciting.

I have been coding for 20 years professionally. I am not doing it wrong.
Sorry, but anybody who has an opinion on the banknotes going woke story should be made to name who is on the £20 without Googling.

Good Morning.
Reform got spanked and I have a weekend in a 4 floor arcade playing retro video games and then I am off to see my lovely girlfriend on Sunday for a movie.
Try to snap me out of this mood.
No, **you** haven't spent an hour on your Saturday implementing a Konami Code reader for Pico 8.....

Man, Impact Affiliates really want you to know that Gravity Forms is leaving their affiliate platform!
So I am sorry I used some AI to generate an infographic for all the regional words for a dinner/bread roll in the UK.
Feel free to use this to anybody who quotes AI as a source.
Honestly Revolut considering how often you offer it, it'd be more of a surprise if you *didn't* offer me two months of free premium if I upgrade my account.
