I just realize it's a different channel that says to start a devlog in... I'll deal with that later.)

Participating in the gamejam and one of my inspirations (the rainworld programmer/designer Joar Jakobsson) really encouraged making a devlog, and I remember reading that that's encouraged here. The project is super secret, but you can get sneak peeks here. Going to try my hardest to post every day.

Today I started on a rust Morse code data structure. I think you can store all the info for a Morse code sequence in just two bits, which I'm pretty proud of!

Here's my idea:

• Two bits (e.g. 00) for a dot (one unit of time in duration plus a one unit silence)
• Two bits (e.g 01 for a dash (three units of duration plus a 1U silence)
• two bits (10) for a letter terminator (two extra units of silence
• two bits (11) for a word terminator (6 extra units of silence instead of the letter terminator)

Cya tomorrow!

Heya, I'm Jade! I've been making games for... An amount of time. My past projects are numerous and silly. You can track down my GitHub for some highlights. Excited for the current game jam! Got a super secret project in the works.

I've wanted to make GBA games since I was like 9, and am now finally ready for it (many years later)! I hope. Nah, I'm ready. Especially since I now don't have to deal with the, umm, situation that is C++. Learned about AGB Rust and am really excited. I'm probably a hoobed up noob. (hoob is short for hubris)

Never used a forum before, so this is new and exciting! Please let me know if I'm breaching etiquette. I'm so happy to find a community like this and hope to make friends. Or mortal enemies —but only if they're fated or part of an enemies-to-friends arc.

Always up for a chat one on one if anyone is interested. I love hearing about people's stories and projects.
