For those using screen readers, both images are screenshots of the new features. The first shows a saved sniglet entry with the share sheet open, and the second shows an in-app window of the bug reporter on the Settings page.

I tried to add the captions to the images, but Mast was taking a while to upload them, and I scrapped and remade the post. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I’ve uploaded a new beta of Give Me A Sniglet to #TestFlight this evening. In this beta, you can share your saved sniglets as images to friends and family, and view the license, send feedback, etc. from the app’s settings page.

You can join the TestFlight beta at https://testflight.apple.com/join/D0QIqvdQ.

Some #indiegamedev from me. Finished importing chapters into the VN portion of #IndexingYourHeart today. Went a lot smoother thanks to the Marteau utility I wrote last week. About twenty minutes total to import the code over and check for formatting issues and fix them. I’m still waiting to get some extra feedback on the story for now, but I imagine it will be a lot quicker to make changes now until the story gets finalized.

I might be able to make a really bare-bones prototype of the VN portion of the game with this complete. Will need to add placeholder images soon and eventually find an artist that can draw the sprites I need.

Getting better! #Wordle

@wim_v12e Of course, I think we’re beginning to see that as the chip shortages continue, along with other companies trying to recycle and reuse the materials to make the next product. I suppose a good start would be warning people to not upgrade their device every year, hardware-wise, and pushing to make more native apps over stuff like Electron apps. Over time, we should try to tackle bigger things such as making games (especially triple-A titles) more energy efficient and getting companies to support their devices for much longer. I anticipate the latter will be a bit easier for Apple since they tend to support devices for quite a while, but we should push for other companies to go beyond one or two years of support. Also continuing to support projects like Ubuntu Touch can help to bring new life to older devices, granted that they are still supported (or make a port to make them supported again).

@wim_v12e With that said, I’ll be sure to share this with my fellow CS peers to make them at least aware of it. I know my ML class last semester looked into the computational and environmental costs of deep learning and agreed we shouldn’t necessarily use it for everything and try other algorithms first.
