my first though, after seeing this, is to write a vim mapping that will let me listen to a file instantly.

I'm surprised no one has suggested a vim or emacs plugin that does this yet. Anyone?

I don't think this would be too difficult to write in vim, which has built-in auto-complete functions.

It doesn't look like he used 1.0 in the video. Did I miss something?

Why is it anti-aliased?

Also, what license is the code?

Also, I understand that some people (including me) do have fun tinkering with low level details and tiny optimizations, but when you're making a small game with a small (even solo) team, these tasks tend to work against making a good game.

LOVE2D is a joy to work in. It really is fun, it makes particle effects and physics and sound easy. The community is awesome.

I have been working, since September, on my senior project in Pygame. It isn't fun to work in. The documentation is great, but the community seems dead. Things are not easy in Pygame. Distribution is especially painful, with py2exe and py2app and setuptools. I've had a lot of trouble getting certain sounds to play. I would not recommend it.

Really, go with LOVE2D or Flixel or even Flash if you want to make games in a high level language. Not only that, but if you want to have _fun_ making a game, and not get bogged down in low-level details.

I would not recommend Pygame.

Yeah, this is funny, there is novelty here, etc. A story counting profanities in source code/commits/etc. pops up every now and then.

I've found that the only real profanity in a source code comment is "HACK".

My swear jar overflows with quarters.

I'm happy to see that, while he did something wrong, because he was honest and openly remorseful throughout, he ended up not going to prison. The cops even seemed cordial, they let him get breakfast and a smoke.

I wonder how differently things would have played out if he lived in the US.

Markdown is a good start, the minimal syntax is nice to look at, and it could be poweful with an inline scripting language to define macros (Ruby, Python, Lua).

I read an article a while back that said after the engineer that wrote GOAL left the company, they stopped using it and went back to pure C++ or something.

Hearing that they use Racket now, that just makes me all happy inside.

Yeah. I think what you (and I) really want is a phone with a two-color LCD screen from seven years ago.

Actually, I think those are called tracfones, but they have a stigma of being used by only elderly people. Dang it.
