Welcome to 0.19.3!

You could middle click to color pick in the event
any fediverse account will work. Itll allow you to log in when it opens
Ive been working on some game tools to let me make various games quicker without needing to do the same things in every game i make
Above you can see two of them ^ Ive got an achievement system implemented as well as a toolbar that lets you trigger things easily for testing purposes (e.g. giving the player a weapon, spawning an enemy, etc.)
Theres a data persisting system that will persist data in different scopes (e.g. room, level, run, game, permanent) that everything else uses. For example the achievement system looks at a certain category and a trigger (which is a key that the data in the persister is set under) so that whenever data is added to that trigger it sees if its higher than the amount needing to unlock the achievement (and if so unlocks it). The persister is decoupled from everything else by sending signals and then everything that wants to look at what data is set can (this would be the achievements, the unlock system, the dialogue system to see which dialogue is unlocked, etc.)
Main tools I have made:
- palette swapping (allows for swapping the palette of the game so that things like each zone can have different colors)
- unlocks (what weapons, enemies, etc. are unlocked)
- toolbar (debug helping)
- persister (persists data through a scope)
- logger (logs information (separate so other components can show the logs e.g. the toolbar or a terminal)
- leaderboard (keeps track of scores of players)
- data (reads txt files from a data folder for usage in the rest of the game for separation of data and behaviours. e.g. you can define enemies each in their own txt file and have a generic enemy object that has its properties set based on the enemy it is. Makes it so you can easily add new stuff
Reports are typically fine. Theres a couple issues with 0.18 but the amount of people reporting would make up for that. Removed it locally from my instance since some reports came to me fine
I assume it will be snapped soon by lemm.ee or world but its around midnight in the US right now and early morning in europe

Mlmym frontend (old reddit-like)
(programming.dev)
Finally fixed the issues I was having with mlmym and we now have our fourth alternate frontend in the instance! This one is similar to old reddit if you prefer that sort of browsing experience. I know some users requested it in the past
Frontend is up at https://old.programming.dev
We now have the four main alternate frontends hosted. The other three are currently in the site sidebar and ill be adding mlmym there as well now
the issue is there isnt such thing as an instance-only community
if you mimic the actions I did above but on the community level rather than the post level you might be able to do it but new instances pulling the community for federation after you did it wouldnt be affected by that so you would need to seed it in the instances ahead of time or keep doing it
a second way would be reaching out to other admins to remove the community from their instance but that involves talking to a ton of different instances

Instance admin updates + Blahaj
(programming.dev)
Hey everyone. Some of you may have seen the recent announcement with blahaj to defederate with the instance. Ive been handling things privately and wanted to do an announcement to catch you all up on the results of that
#1: Background knowledge
Realized that not everyone knows how the instance is structured so figured I would do a little section in the front to go over that (especially for visitors reading this from other instances)
We currently have 8 admins in the instance. Of those 2 people are currently lead admins (snowe and I). Majority of admins are part of the community team but not all of them (people are split between infrastructure, development, and community). I was planning out a team page similar to what lemmy.world has to go over this with a bit more detail and that should be coming in the future. Main thing though is its intentionally structured so one person doesnt solely have power (hence the two leads). If one person ends up messing up theres the other lead and the rest of the admin team to talk with them about it and help them do better in the future.
#2: What happened?
There was a thread in lemmy.ml about the hogwarts legacy game winning a steam award. For reference for the following images + description, snowe is the other lead admin for the instance apart from me and the other people are various other users
There was a conversation that ended up essentially devolving into a slap fight within this post (ive purged the entire conversation so people dont stumble onto it in the future but ill post images here with them for archiving reasons and to explain it)
^ These comments were what initially started it. Essentially it was an argument about the hogwarts legacy game being or being not transphobic
^ Later in the argument
^ One branch that ended up getting started due to the frontend snowe uses on mobile not showing pronouns (how most instances handle it currently is its appended to the end of the display name but some frontends choose to ignore the display name and just do the username instead)
(edit: changed the word triggered to started to make it more clear what definition of triggered I used. Forgot that tends to not be common usage)
There are other branches but it is a very large amount to screenshot and dont want this to completely flood this post. Everything should be available in the modlogs still if you want to dig a bit deeper or I can send other screenshots in the replies on this post if youre interested in what was said for certain parts
#3 Aftermath
Due to the argument above blahaj chose to defederate with programming.dev which was going to take effect 48 hours after their announcement on it. (This is due to the person in the conversation being one of our lead admins which is ultimately understandable as they represent the instance)
snowe has sent a message apologizing to ada (the lead admin for blahaj). I dont know the contents of what was said but if they want the two of them can choose to publicize it.
One of our admins should not have escalated the situation and participated in this slap fight so on behalf of the admin team here were sorry about that
Internally we have a guidebook for admins to follow for the various aspects of the instance (moderation, applications, etc.). Ive refined this guidebook with a couple new rules for admins that should be taking effect in the future
- admins will be required to have two accounts, one for admin activities and one for non admin activities. This is how some admins have already been interacting in the fediverse and basically makes it so comments done on the non-admin account should not be taken as that admin speaking on behalf of the instance. Generally the admin account will be things done relating to admin duties (e.g. my posts here in meta) while the non-admin account is other various conversations. Admins can be as anonymous as they want with the non-admin account similar to how our users here can be as anonymous as they want with their accounts
- im adding in some guidelines for tone while chatting for the admins so comments made that are on behalf of the instance should be respectful and not devolve to slap fights
Like I said before in #2 ive also purged the entire conversation to avoid people stumbling onto it and seeing a slap fight with an admin that has since apologized. As the community exists on lemmy.ml I cant fully do this due to how federation works in lemmy but the mods in the community have been doing the same which should federate.
This should not have happened in the first place and we as an admin team will be better going forward
I hope the blahaj instance sees our actions and chooses to reverse the defederation decision but at the end of the day its their instance and they can choose whoever they want to federate with (note federation is done directionally. I will still leave our direction of federation open)
Edit: Blahaj stopped their defederation (shown in an edit on their announcement) so the two instances will still be federated both directions going forward
Another edit: its a work day, its midnight here, and some comments here are also devolving into slapfights. Ive locked the post since this has already taken up most of my free time to try to handle and moderate this. My dms are always open if you want to dm me regarding the situation
Hey, im actually doing a post right now with some screenshots. Should be up in a bit on meta
(was also the one that purged the conversation. things should still be in the modlog if youre interested in digging around for it)

Voyager Alternate Frontend
(v.programming.dev)
We now have our third alternate frontend setup, voyager. This one is a mobile first frontend
Mlmym coming next (old reddit style) but ive been having issues with it so unsure when
23
Photon Alternate Frontend
(p.programming.dev)
Continuing with alternate frontends for the instance, we now have the photon frontend hosted at https://p.programming.dev/
Voyager should be coming tomorrow
1 -> yep, to make it a certain language put that language after the first three backticks. For inline you can do it using curly braces after the second backtick with a dot and then the language in it
```abnf
x=4
```
x=4
`x=4`{.haskell}
x=4{.haskell}
`x=4`{.js}
x=4{.js}
2-> https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-highlightjs is the specific one but its basically just a wrapper around highlightjs
3 -> ~~unknown, I didnt mess around with that when implementing them and I dont think it supports it.~~ edit: can probably be added manually by messing around with css. Ill do a pull request after my exams
Update: Ive make a new leaderboard with code 3316962-6587d422 that has a name that isnt just my username (for some reason AoC only lets the leaderboard be an account name) since theres not many people on it currently and so its easy to find when the events going on
If you joined the last one rejoin this new one
Lemmy itself needs JS to work, wouldnt make sense to limit myself to not using it when the sites im sending people to dont have that restriction. Whats the bloat youre talking about, I can look at it
Instances have been added if they have a decent amount of activity and dont break the programming.dev rules (no hate speech, no illegal content, no lolicon). The ones currently here are just basically ones that I know exist but other ones can get added if someone sends me links to them or an issue gets opened on the repository
Sure I could adapt it a bit to do that. I can show info on one and then add in a refresh button to get a new instance in that category or something similar.
And sure I can move regional into their own category
For the background I used tsParticles for the particles, and the gradient behind that uses framer motion to change colors by moving a linear gradient back and forth

Yeah I havent gone through and cleared it in a bit since there isnt much of a point to due to it being mostly used internally only rn (and forgejo makes the process very annoying unless you do it directly through the db)
Ill purge things and adjust settings again soon
