I find coding assistants compelling.

Back in February I wrote a piece about the thing I loved changing.

Building a believable computer opponent for a 4X strategy game is one of those problems that turns out to be bottomless.

Source code available online here A claim that has gained traction lately is that Donald Trump’s posting patterns suggest “sundowning” — the late-day cognitive decline associated with dementia.

Recently GitHub announced a change in pricing model for CoPilot which they’ve tried to wave away as not a price increase (because the list prices don’t move) but which really is as they are now charging for direct usage rather than per request.

You can find out more over at the projects website.

The source code can be found on GitHub.

Having built a raycaster for my Wolfenstein 3D recreation I wanted to take things to the next level and build a “simple” ray tracer.

I asked Claude to recreate the classic 1986 game Thrust for me in the browser.

I wrote my first line of code in 1983.

This morning I had a ChatGPT conversation that started about engagement metrics and ended up with a systematic destruction of my identity.

I’ve been itching to create some emulated 8-bit hardware for some time - not for an existing system but rather for my dream 8-bit system.

I started programming on a BBC Model B as a kid — mostly for fun, mostly because it felt like a little world I could reshape.

In what is either a massive display of ego and hubris or something to be modestly proud about (you decide) I’m using my own Mac and iPad sprite editor SprEd to work on the textures and icons for my city builder.

Things have been going quite smoothly so far and over the last couple of evenings I’ve added the ability to drag select ranges and create zones (though haven’t accounted for flats yet).

As I mentioned in my last entry, and as anyone who has played a city builder will know, these kinds of games have a lot of UI in them.

Actually maanged to get a decent amount of time in on personal projects this week.

More progress on the bite sized remainders of Elite - ECM and Energy Bomb now implemented.

Another bitty week as I’ve been coding for work and when I do so I find, inevitably, the amount of time I spend coding out of hours decreases.

It was a bit of a stop / start week as I have a lot of actual work on at the moment.

Continuing to plug through my list of tasks to complete the game.

Bit of work this mornign to optimise the asset loading.

Been a bit of a spotty work for progress on fun projects due to being crazy busy at work.

Cracked on with the landscape system over the weekend and got a nice SimCity 2000 / Transport Tycoon style isometric system up and running.

As a brief introduction by next retro remake is based around SimCity which I’m calling Empire of Asphalt.

I’m at that stage of the project where there are lots of little things left and so I’ve done what I usually do at this point which is to pop it on a Trello board.

Got the combat routines all wired up now with damage being handled properly, explosions etc.

Ok.

The oh so clever 2D solution for laser intersection doesn’t work I realised this evening.

I’d come across a very funny bug the other day - while testing the lasers and explosions I destroyed a space station and about the same time ships started to spawn at a rapid rate.

Refining Explosions On looking at the explosions this morning I realised that the faces of the ship that I use to form the explosion didn’t start off in the correct position.

I rattled through a load of stuff today, the brain was working well despite no sleep!
