This sounds terrible but does anyone recall the person who did really helpful guides on things like git and programming in nice friendly language and drawings?
They were definitely on the fediverse but I forgot their name, and now a friend of mine could really use the resource.

After much typing, undoing, scrawing of notes and drinking of coffee I bring you the first version of Kobold Kombat that has synchronised networking support.
This is using just Matrix under the hood and runs effectively peer-to-peer. There is lots of work to be done on tweening the motions, reducing redundancy and anti-cheat but this is the first version of the game that you can play with others!
Once I think this is fun, I'll release some details about how to play it online.

In the meantime, https://half-shot.github.io/wormgine continues to be updated with the latest builds. Currently the Team Editor and Skirmish mode (two player local play) works reasonably well.

Sorry about the worm game taking ages folks. I've been meaning to get a playable multiplayer demo going but my brain hasn't been connecting all the dots and we're building this thing protocol up! (Well, we've got a transport but figuring out how to synchronise a bunch of simulated games over the network is a new challenge for me).
I think I have a solution to all my problems, but it's a lot of code to write. I'll have a test up next week.

I keep wanting to do a blog post on my game but end up feeling that I'd rather spend time on the game!
Would anyone feel like doing some playtests for me, see if you can break it?

I've gone for the dry January thing, having noticed that I was starting to drink quite a lot.
So far, so good. It's always the social occasions that are difficult, but remaining absolutely committed to it.

Nearly moved all of my object storage from Minio to Garage (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/)
Mostly on the basis that Minio did too much, leans towards a GUI for configuration and kept having performance issues.
Garage seems to be fast, and does just the right amount of things without going too crazy like a simple node architecture, and being able to have your gateway process seperate from your storage management.
Also, I can finally drop a NFS mount!

So for whatever reason half-shot.uk's server network has been struggling to make direct connections to Hetzner. This is needed so we can do the Tailscale magic of redirecting traffic from public server -> private network.
Weirdly, I just spun up a new Hetzner server and ansible'd my config onto it and the issues are resolved so I can only assume they cocked something up.

I have finally...finally fixed my server so that the mount system waits for zfs, and then the dependent VMs wait for the storage to come up. Took me long enough 😆

Do you ever look at a full page of config and dot files in your source repo and think maybe, just maybe, there is too much going on.
Like I have 24 files (including 3 .md files) alone just sitting there.

Wrote a tiny little process to tell me when my battery is low, because I use sway and I never got around to sorting it out.
