Today is our #fediversary! Two years ago, we created a Mastodon account, our first social media. And it is still our favorite. All the best nerds are here 😎
Our marketing budget is 0 and our entire team is 2 nerds that just want to make something cool. So, you're here not because of ads or influencers but because someone you know told you about Firefly Zero and you thought it's a cool project worth following. And we can't thank you enough for that ♥️
-
New language! You can now write Firefly Zero games in Odin, a Go-like language with manual memory management. Give it a try with the latest firefly-cli:
ff new --lang=odin hello

In reference to @0xabad1dea, --lang=abadidea also works 🙃

Some ideas:

- Being a firefly
- Mimicking firefly light patterns ("photuris") -
Today at 6:00 PM UTC, we will reveal the theme.
