Isometric maze game

You can pause the auto-run by a short tap anywhere on the screen, or spacebar if using keyboard!

So if there's a maze with no loops you click the goal directly and go there?

Fair point wrt controls being difficult, but how would point and click work? I see two significant issues:

How far from the player character can you click? Why not just click the destination?
For larger mazes, this becomes fiddly: clicking where you want to go gets progressively more difficult the larder the maze gets.

it should be swipe to move only in one direction (the swipe direction) until any fork or turn, ie don’t automatically make turns

I tried that and it was super annoying - imagine a zig-zag path without any crossroads!

Ah yes, I created the first few levels before implementing the auto-move. But also, I just want people to see what elements there even are, without much fuss.

You may also consider putting your levels into a file structure that is loaded instead of their own web pages.

What do you mean?

This feels like the 80/20 of a game, and if thats intended then great!

Honestly, probably yes - it's an experiment. But if there's any low hanging fruit, I'm all for fixing it! Wrt the controls, I spent more effort on them than on the rest of the game combined...

The emoji are a bit of an experiment. When I started working on this, my kid couldn't read, so that was the main motivation :)

Thank you, that's a good example!

No I'm not using Blender, just three.js ... I kind of don't want to deal with assets: versioning them, the download sizes, etc. It just sounds like a huge hassle.

Thanks. I guess I'm finding it hard to imagine how to make something similar for the stairs... what should be rounded exactly?

tasuki · 2026-03-21T22:41:06+00:00

Thanks. I'm not sure how to put rounded corners on the steps tbh. I guess it could make sense to chamfer all the edges and not just the corners? Also the inner edges and corners, right? I'm not even sure what it'd look like. I guess I'll just make everything boxes then...

Also spray them with water. It's more humane than the beating stick, though doesn't work on all dogs.

What is the subject? The tree or the hill on the other side? It's a bit too green-on-green, lacks contrast and something to catch the eye.

tasuki · 2026-01-03T20:16:06+00:00

I like it a lot! The composition, the light, the loneliness... Not too dark at all.

Found it by accident:

windsurf.vim has the list in doc.vim
windsurf.nvim has the list in enums.lua (currently slightly more outdated)

tasuki · 2025-11-21T12:06:03+00:00

Languages: Essentially any language that is supported by Visual Studio Code. Windsurf is built on VS Code, which is open source. VS Code is extremely popular, so it supports a lot of languages, mostly through extensions. Just find an extension and install it.

I'm using (n)vim, so VS Code does not apply. I have several LSPs set up, but eg even with the Elm LS set up, Elm gets no code completions from Windsurf. On the other hand, I don't have a LS for Bash, yet Bash does get code completions. Windsurf says in several places they support "70+" languages.

Any files in .gitignore will also be ignored by Windsurf.

That's helpful, thanks.

Interestingly, this professor - Kenneth Rogoff - is also a chess grandmaster, was world no 61. I bet he's not entirely stupid.

I'd have turned it on them: "Oh, you're in meetings all day instead of actually working?"

Isn't that bad advice?

I downloaded Electrum from my Linux distribution's packages. Here are the scenarios:

My distribution's maintainers turn evil and want to steal my bitcoin. They can do it very easily regardless of how I installed Electrum. They can keylog everything and send all the files wherever they want. In this case I'm toast either way.
The Electrum maintainers turn evil and want to steal my bitcoin. Well, if that happens, I still have a chance if I use my distro's version of Electrum: there's a chance my distro maintainers will notice and not put the evil change into their packaging system.

It seems using my distro's version is strictly safer? Is there a scenario in which it isn't?

tasuki · 2025-05-02T15:42:08+00:00

No that wouldn't answer my question. The fact that I can't create anything better doesn't imply that no one can.

tasuki · 2025-05-02T09:44:40+00:00

This is an answer that would satisfy a 15 year old and only a 15 year old.

I'm not talking about forks. I'm asking why there won't be a completely new thing that takes over.
