I had the same idea but with voxels. The idea works fine, more work on photorealism needed : https://youtu.be/LBzuXj21_bY?t=128

Very nice collection of toy projects, I resonate with you, I also wrote a ton of toy projects in sabbaticals, check the better ones out here : https://milgra.com/
I've just updated SwayOS to 3.0 ( https://swayos.github.io )
I solved this problem six years ago although I quit apple since and you have to update/compile it for yourself : https://github.com/milgra/airpodssoundqualityfixer
Yes, the audio file is too big so I decided not to embed it for faster download speeds.
I did exactly the same and my reason is : Linux is chaos, FreeBSD is order. FreeBSD is so very well engineered, everything feels just right and logical. It's not the case with the fragmented world of Linux distributions. Unfortunately FreeBSD doesn't have the laptop driver coverage Linux has so I'm using Void Linux on my laptops because it is the most BSDish Linux.
I'm glad you liked it! I miss the golden age of tracker music/demoscene.
Even if you downloaded that app explicitly for key logging? That's crazy! :)
A popup on the first start with an alert and a password prompt is a good solution, but usually too many users type in their passwords blindly in case of a password prompt, so I would go with just an alert with "you need root privileges to run this app" and then they have to figure out 1. why do they need root privileges 2. how do they start an app with root privileges.
I don't know the exact issues but might be related to the issues why I left Apple : I was developing a very successful little tool for MacOS ( https://github.com/milgra/macmediakeyforwarder ) which listened for keypresses. From 2016 to 2019 it became harder and harder to install it because apple added more and more restrictions to apps like this. By 2019, you had to enable the application explicitly to listen for events at least in three places deep down in the system preferences, click accept in various popups and if you stuck somewhere then nobody could tell why it wasn't working. So I had a very expensive laptop and the OS didn't let me use it freely. So I just switched to freebsd and linux. Hardware quality is far away from Apple's but it is cheap, I don't have fancy productivity apps like photoshop and final cut but with open source tools and with my own desktop applications I created the best looking/most usable desktop experience MacOS will never have. ( https://swayos.github.io/ )
I just include them, everything works as before. If I have to create a library then I create a separate header file for the api functions and only the internals are headerless.
It reduces file count in the project browser, renaming/refactoring is much simpler in one file, it just feels like working with a newer language.
Very nice collection. My favorite C feature is actually a gcc/clang feature : the __INCLUDE_LEVEL__ predefined macro. It made me code&maintain my C projects exactly twice as fast as before because file count dropped to half : https://github.com/milgra/headerlessc .
I will add a bounce back and collapse effect and energy loss :)
It needs more polishing and more mobile testing.
Yes, they were on purpose, I really like the style of old cartoons and they do this - cuphead also does something similar. I wrote about the clojurescript development experience in the github readme ( https://github.com/milgra/cljs-brawl ), it was pleasant, I will port my other C/OpenGL games as soon as I have time.
Thank you! The music was composed by Attila Blaho, one of Hungary's best jazz pianist, I guess it took him max 10 minutes :)
Wow, thank you very much! :) I'm glad you like it and thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, that can be a problem, I used it for linux/FreeBSD development only so far.
