🕶️ A view of its UI (v.1.6.0) during a game on my PC, showing on the main board the game with its suggestion system (in red, 2 white pawns threatened one by the black rook and the other the black knight, while it is strongly suggested to move my bishop to D6 - threatened by the black Queen in A5). On the left, the online help and below the control and analysis of the Stockfish engine, and on the right, the moves played and various display areas. At the top are the menus with various command shortcuts.

📚️ ChessX is a fork of Scid & a a libre and multi-platform database and an interface, allowing to study the game of chess. This very powerful tool allows to consult from its interface similar games played by grandmasters (it can use several databases simultaneously), but also to analyze the current game and perform many operations (training mode, support of Nalimov and Syzgy databases, ...). It is intended for learning chess via the analysis of chess databases or an AI, so the game is solo (IAs to be installed separately) or possibly two players in hotseat (but this is not its vocation). It supports the CECP & UCI protocols.

🕶️ An FPS view of the DOOM 3 game running on the dhewm3 engine (v. 1.5.2 RC1, on my Linux PC). The player advances armed with a rifle through a messy, blood-stained futuristic hall, firing at a monster that is half base guard - half monster with one arm reduced to a tentacle. A 'Settings' window has been opened in the foreground, with the 'Video Options' tab activated, giving access to a number of graphical settings.

📚️ dhewm3 is a libre, multi-platform, and improved engine for Doom 3 (his engine - named id Tech 4, was freed by id Software / John Carmack on November 22, 2011), its Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil DLC and other compatible Mods.

🕶️ Its GUI with at the top of the screen, on the left the name of the player then a large orange bar representing his health status, on the right a number giving the number of ammunition remaining for the selected weapon, underneath a mini-map allows to locate oneself. The rest of the screen is the game area with a bird's eye view of the area where the player is, and a fog of war of other areas. The player (me, the "Bruce Willis" in the center of the room) is in a room armed with a machine gun, with a guard at the top who has just exploded in a spray of flame while another wonders what is going on (?) and a dangerous colored madman on the right is about to act, 2 medikits will allow to restore his health.

📚️ The liberated & multi-platform suite of Cyberdogs (DOS, Pascal), and a solo (IA, deathmatch / co-op) / multiplayer (up to 4 in hotseat / LAN, in deathmatch / co- op) run-and-gun game. After being fully freed by its author (Ronny Wester), the game was ported to C & SDL and greatly improved. It offers in particular 11 weapons (primary & secondary), dozens of campaigns, deathmatch and co-op with or without AI, support for modern PCs with large screens, split screen, joystick with force feedback, spatial sound and an editor. Awesome!

📚️ M.A.M.E. (for "Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator") is a libre and multi-platform emulator, single-player / multi-player (up to 10 in hotseat, with several gamepads), of arcades machines and of a large number of game consoles, microcomputers and other calculators (since the absorption of its sister project called M.E.S.S., for "Multi Emulator Super System"). The objective is to faithfully reproduce the functioning of arcade games and systems in order to preserve the history of video games and thus avoid that certain titles sink into oblivion. It has a graphical interface and can work in command line. The content is huge (several tens of thousands of games) and of very high quality. Most of them are commercial and require the ROM of the game + the ROM of the emulated game machine (e.g.: neogeo).

Say hello to rpmbash!

I'm working on tree-sitter-rpmspec and spec files have scriptlet sections which are bash/shell by default. To highlight these sections nicely you want to use the tree-sitter-bash parser. However that parser doesn't understand RPM macros. Well, I created a rpmbash grammar with bash as the base grammar and some nastry tricks and got it working. See the design document for the ugly details 🙂

The work is titled “Young Escherstein!” (https://krita-artists.org/t/young-escherstein/142098). This is a fusion tribute to Young Frankenstein and M.C. Escher's work Relativity, showing different scenes from films from different perspectives in a house with numerous staircases that alter the viewing perspective (based on his work “House with Staircases”).

📚️ Krita is a libre, and multi-platform raster graphics editor for photo editing, freehand image creation, vector drawing and animation. In particular, it supports graphics tablets (handling pressure, tilt and rate), CMYK colors, HDR painting, color mixing and image deformation. It has a perspective grid, pluggable brush engines (simulating real brushes) and can use external brushes resources (those of Gimp for example)or community-designed textures. Its other major strength is that it combines power and ease of use.

"Philadelphia Freedom" is a song by British musician Elton John and lyricist #BernieTaupin, and performed by John. It was released as a single on 28 February 1975, credited to the #EltonJohnBand. The song was the fourth of John's six number-one singles in the US during the early and mid-1970s, which saw his recordings dominating the charts. In Canada it was his eighth single to hit the top of the #RPM national singles chart. The song was written by John.
