Creating ASCII art is strangely satisfying in a way I can’t quite describe. #gamedev #ascii #asciiart #indiedev #microgame30 Mar 2026 01:43 +0000at://did:plc:djjoand5mggp2n2spfcyxwix/app.bsky.feed.post/3miajxouois27https://bsky.app/profile/nickharb.net/post/3mhjomx5gbk2dASCIIROIDS 👾 Here’s a WIP of my microgame for March. It’s like Asteroids, but with ASCII art! I’m using Claude Code to help me with development and it’s a game changer (hah). Do y’all use AI to help with game dev? Why or why not? #gamedev #indiedev #microgames20 Mar 2026 23:36 +0000at://did:plc:djjoand5mggp2n2spfcyxwix/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhjomx5gbk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/nickharb.net/post/3mga76wzyfs2i🎮 NEW QUEST UNLOCKED 🎮 Starting this month, I’m diving into a 12-month micro game challenge! One tiny game every month for a year. I’ll be exploring different game engines, formats, and programming languages. Stay tuned! 👾 Images from @kenney.nl ❤️ #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #microgames04 Mar 2026 11:40 +0000at://did:plc:djjoand5mggp2n2spfcyxwix/app.bsky.feed.post/3mga76wzyfs2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/nickharb.net/post/3m4g6zz7vgk26Could a mathematical being achieve consciousness? How do we define consciousness in the first place? Could AI systems have a type of consciousness that’s fundamentally different from humans? Very compelling questions from this interview with AI researcher Kyle Fish. #ai #airesearch #anthropic https://youtu.be/pyXouxa0WnY?si=85Yve5ltygKWNpZd30 Oct 2025 14:41 +0000at://did:plc:djjoand5mggp2n2spfcyxwix/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4g6zz7vgk26https://bsky.app/profile/nickharb.net/post/3luifkpxfdc2a“It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson21 Jul 2025 16:22 +0000at://did:plc:djjoand5mggp2n2spfcyxwix/app.bsky.feed.post/3luifkpxfdc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/nickharb.net/post/3luifbvd4dk2aLearning how to update dictionaries in #python.

The goal is to create an ASCII film using raw video footage.
