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!
