In an effort to make a game with @messerman for #HackingTheGrepson, I'm learning the game engine known as Defold. DEE-fold? DEF-old? Duh-FOLD? Whatever.

Starting with their Platformer tutorial, and trying to see what I can modify, improve, tinker.

You learn as much by breaking a working example as you do making it better. Let's change this number and see what it does! To think that something like Super Mario Brothers was an arcane mystery and now a downloadable tutorial...

Almost at 100 episodes for the Hacking the Grepson podcast! Our host has a list of our episodes, but I wanted more control over it, so I made this: michaelchadwick.info/podcasts/

For fun, I took our longest ep and "ranked" all others against it. If it's 50% as long or shorter, it gets only green squares. The longer the episode, the more squares, and the more they turn to yellow and red.

It's a way to see this info at a glance, visually represent them, and keep us in check!

In my life thus far, I've been apart of 4 podcasts:

* M.U.S.I.K. (Oct 1-31 2003, 31 eps, retroactive, music-only): music.nebyoolae.com/album/musi
* The Escort Mission (Apr 2012 - Sep 2013, 54 eps): neb.host/podcasts/tem/
* Quibblings (Jan 2015 - Mar 2015, 14 eps): neb.host/podcasts/quib/
* Hacking the Grepson (Dec 2021 - ???, 91 eps so far): hackingthegrepson.com

HtG is definitely the longest-running one by far. How long will it go for? ONLY THE FUTURE KNOWS
