Source code for Quake 2 rerelease
I had to laugh at this https://github.com/ESWAT/john-carmack-plan-archive/blob/mast...
-----------------------------------------
This is not the engine code, this is the game code that was released even prior to Quake 2 being GPLd.
-----------------------------------------
John Carmack's .plan for Dec 11, 1997
-----------------------------------------
The Quake 2 public code release is up at:
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/source/q2source_12_11.zip
This source code distribution is only for hard-core people that are going to spend a lot of time pouring over it. This is NOT a how-to-make-levels-for-q2 type dsitribution!
This should keep a bunch of you busy for a while. :)

A Slack clone in 5 lines of bash
there are a bunch of features in slack beyond the core chat stuff, like:
1. being connected to multiple communities and switching between them instantly
this can be of course simply replaced by connecting to different servers in a tabbed terminal and use the terminal's built-in cmd-1/2/... shortcut, which happens to be the same as in slack.
2. meta data about others, like their timezone or how to pronounce their name is quite important for distributed team work
this can be approximated by a world readable file on the chat server in every user's home, like .plan or motd files (https://github.com/ESWAT/john-carmack-plan-archive)
3. automatic idleness detection
im actually not sure how reliable is this even in slack, but in general, it can be useful, but im not sure how to solve it elegantly, when the chat runs remotely...
maybe we should just spawn a loop at the background, which gathers idleness status from the OS and uploads it when it changes, into world readable files and the remote clients can just check those file whenever they want.
4. extra status indication with automatic expiry, eg when someone is away from the keyboard, coz they are having lunch
we do use this feature often and it's a really helpful regarding when can we expect a response from someone.
again, quite simple to model this as a plain text file and we can even use emojis, to have a very similar effect to setting " lunch" on slack. ppl would need to know what's the emoji selector shortcut though... like cmd-ctrl-space on macos.
5. text search across all channels/rooms
assuming the chat is being logged into files, then a recursive (rip)grep could work to some extent, but then from the search results one might want to get back to the context of the result too.
6. threads
this complicates implementation a lot more, but we found it an obvious improvement over the single threaded IRC model of communication
7. having threads open on the side, so ppl can track 2 streams of comms at once at least
it would require starting the chat app multiple times and do some window management to see them side-by-side
now obviously all this can be done a lot simpler, but those implementations typically always lack somehow. not sure why is that...
see https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ or http://www.altme.com/what.html
the REBOL 3 programming language even had a quite full featured, text-mode chat built in:

John Carmack on Functional Programming in C++ (2018)
I was impressed by his concise daily planfiles.

Quake 1 ported to the Apple Watch
Quake and id Software were pioneering things we just take for granted now.
I remember playing QuakeWorld when it came out, on Linux, over a dial up modem. You had ping times of 200-300ms and it was playable. You have to remember at the time Doom and other games were LAN-only. John Carmack used to keep a .plan file with some really cool details behind Quake/QuakeWorld development. Check out Aug 02, 1996 for some detail behind the netcode[1]. You can read the future of gaming being invented right there.

The computers used to do 3D animation for Final Fantasy VII in 1996
https://github.com/ESWAT/john-carmack-plan-archive/blob/mast... is interesting. It transitions from todo list to a narrative format right after Quake launches :) In subsequent years you see Carmack opine on various high-perf platforms for gamers, and also for Quake level pre-processing (engine licensees had money to spend on productivity)
Chapter 64 onwards of https://www.jagregory.com/abrash-black-book/ is Mike Abrash's detailing of Quake's development.
(tl;dr - Quake was developed on NeXTSTEP + an MS-DOS port of GCC (DJGPP), Quake2 was on Visual Studio + Windows (this was the era of that Carmack giant-monitor photo), there was an in-between period of free updates to the original Quake, like WinQuake, QuakeWorld and glQuake).

.plan
I randomly clicked on this one: https://github.com/ESWAT/john-carmack-plan-archive/blob/mast...
> Anna Kang left Id a couple weeks ago to found her own company - Fountainhead Entertainment.
> It wasn't generally discussed during her time at Id, but we had been going out when she joined the company, and we were engaged earlier this year. We are getting married next month, and honeymooning in Hawaii. At her thoughtful suggestion, we are shipping a workstation out with us, so I don't fall into some programming-deprivation state. How great is that? :)

Copilot regurgitating Quake code, including swear-y comments and license
You can read some of Carmack's plan files (blogs before blog was coined) for some insight into this, but basically he does it because he learned to code by reading other people's code, and so wants to help the next generation of programmers get started too

Monodraw
Nitpick: Aseprite is source-available, not open source by the Open Source Initiative's definition. From the Aseprite EULA [1]:
> (g) Source code.
> You may only compile and modify the source code of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for your own personal purpose or to propose a contribution to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
The OSI's definition of open source [2] requires distribution of unmodified and modified copies (with the exception of lone, unmodified copies; I read somewhere that writing a hello world program is a workaround):
> 1. Free Redistribution
> The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.
...
> 3. Derived Works
> The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.
"free software" is ambiguous to English speakers/writers, but "open source" is ambiguous in its own way.

Mindustry: Open-source automation tower defense game

Automating sprite packing and flipbook creation in Unreal Engine (Aseprite + TexturePacker + Unreal)
This is specifically targeted for Aseperite users, and also makes use of a great tool called TexturePacker by CodeAndWeb. Andreas from CodeAndWeb always helps me out when I email them, and the software itself is awesome, so I figured I'd give it a boost.

Thirteen Potions Build Log
I'd never used Aseprite before, but it was luckily pretty straightforward to copy and paste and slightly edit the knight into a little spritesheet!

Paint on Windows is getting layers and transparency support
One of my favorite "MS Paint" clones is KolourPaint[1]. I've been using it for over a decade (you have to search around to get it on non-linux platforms but I presently have it on MacOS). One of my favorite features is how it handles transparency, where it's just treated like another "color".
If anyone is heavy into pixel art, you may also be interested in Aseprite[2].

How to name the new bundle of importers?
I'm finalizing a large bundle of raster graphics and animation importers for Godot. This bundle already supports: Aseprite, Krita and Pencil2D. And will be able to support GraphicsGale, Piskel, Pixelorama and regular GIF-format in the future.

What's everyone working on this week (26/2023)?
An Aseprite file loader that parses .ase files and hotloads them directly into my game engine’s animation asset format.
