Help my current lack of creativity. This setup is a product of 15 years of “fuckin’ with synths”. Currently need input from peers
Lastly, something I want to start exploring more, is funky ways to sequence stuff. There's a program called ORCA which is more programming than performing (unless you're into live coding!) but it can make some really neat stuff. That YT channel has a video going over the basics, too. Something like that might be more of a learning curve than you want, but I love the idea of obtuse ways to make melodies.

Any programmers here? Curious how people have combined coding and music.
I love using ORCA for generative experimentation https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca
- Best livecoding software if I primarily want to manipulate the MIDI in my DAW

Sharing Saturday #436
In particular - theres a music environment called Orca that is such a great fit for a Roguelike, and porting it to Rust might be a fun medium-size project.
- Played Raiden Shogun - Awake from a Nightmare in Orca Language
- Is programming truly for me?
- Do you know any visual programming language for music like OpenMusic?

How do I get ORCA to work from the ZIP file off Itch.io?
I've downloaded the Linux zip file from the link above and even after unzipping it and going through those files I can't find anything I'm supposed to be able to open. I've tried checking the MANUAL and the README file on the program's Github but I can't seem to get it going there either.

Qubes Tricks
Very interesting! I was thinking literally yesterday about a TUI/GUI Qubes type concept, maybe also applicable for industrial type data diodes.

I made a tool to generate ANSI escape codes, so you can easily add colors to your scripts.
I did something like that once. Is your project online somewhere? I'm always curious what else is going on. :)

Jexer 1.6.0 release - Java advanced TUI framework
When I transliterated from D to Java around 2015, Java wasn't quite the "uninteresting" language it is perceived to be today. But all along I had hoped others might pick up some tricks, and put some notes on porting it here. Yet Java's been a pretty solid workhorse for me, and having the Swing GUI to test on was a godsend actually once I got into images.

Show HN: Java TUI framework with sixel image support
If you code in Java, and like TUI (console type applications), then you might enjoy Jexer: https://gitlab.com/klamonte/jexer
I started Jexer in 2013, and off-and-on it's gotten better. I think my favorite part has been crossing paths with other terminal emulator ecosystem folks over the last few years. This release brings a few prettified effects inspired by other projects that you are all hopefully quite familiar with (notcurses, chafa, and vtm):
* Translucent windows, including images under/over each other and text.
* Animated/pulsing text
* Animated gifs
* A new XtermVideoPlayer example that uses ffmpeg/JavaCV to play movies inside a text-draggable window. (No audio though.)
* New button styles: round, diamond, left/right arrows. The button ends and shadows are drawn with images so specific font support is not required.
* A _much_ faster and _much_ higher quality sixel encoder.
* Different window border styles: single, double, none, and rounded corners.
* A femme theme option.
Some screenshots are posted here: https://twitter.com/AutumnMeowMeow/status/148922891703050240...
It's on maven and Sourceforge.

Released 1.6 of my hobby project - advanced TUI framework
If you code in Java, and like TUI (console type applications), and enjoy transfemme in-jokes, then you might also enjoy jexer.

So did y'all know that SyncTERM 1.1 has sixel support? That's so cool!
A path that started in the BBS era and is currently bringing DOOM to Xterm. And ironically, there is much better support for this now than there ever was for RIPscript.

I'm working on a commandline app that plays videos, any feedback is welcome
Story time: when I first posted Jexer to Reddit, people were all "twin does that". No, it does not. twin does not pass vttest. twin has almost no widgets. twin does not support images at all, it does not multiplex images, it does not multihead images, and it does not play videos (a bit too slowly but still) in a text draggable/resizable window that could be part of a larger system. mpv/mplayer doesn't do those things either. In fact, the only two projects I know of that can do these kinds of tricks are Jexer and notcurses. (And notcurses is hella faster and great, and I would have used it in 2013 when I started Jexer, but it didn't exist then.)

Terminal Technical Resources
One way to do translucent windows. - Inspired by notcurses

Why are kitty and alacritty so popular? Where's the foot love?
foot is great, dnkl is great. It's so far the fastest sixel-supporting terminal I've got to test XtermDOOM on. (I run iTerm2-based images against wezterm.)

Display images in the terminal
It parses them, but then reduces to the 8/16 ANSI colors. Which makes translucent TUI windows not work. :(
