Alas..
In the ongoing project that is slowly proving every facet of Murphys Law to be true..

The voice works
The servos work
The joystick works

Put it all together and..
The joystick takes over the sound and it crashes on voice.

I got options.. but still.. its getting almost to that moniacle laughing phase (eyetwitch).. lol..sigh..

#P4STEngine 0.3.0-beta is live! 🚀

**What changed?**
Nuitka dropped & rollback to PyInstaller as backend for the P4STEngineCompiler (sorry for this, folks)

There are also improved transparent overlay functions, better error handling, better window scaling on non-16:9 screens, and much more!

Are you ready to build? https://palace4software.eu/p4ste

Or look at the changes first? https://palace4software.eu/p4ste-docs/

Michigan Python meets Thursday, July 2 at 7pm ET. This month we're building a card game with pygame, using everyone's favorite Michigan card game, Euchre, to show off state design, a rules engine, and a pygame UI. Live demo included.

Hybrid: in person at Cahoots (Ann Arbor) or online. All skill levels welcome.

Day 7 of building HackMeNow, my terminal-style hacking puzzle game.

I’m back after a few days away, and today I’m starting Level 3.

This is where the game begins moving from early coffee-machine puzzles into proper sysadmin investigation.

The player will need to explore logs, read files, search for clues, and use commands like:

ls
cat
grep

HackMeNow is about learning real terminal habits through story-driven puzzles.

Day 6 of building HackMeNow, my terminal-style hacking puzzle game.

Today I’m adding save and load support for Level 2: The Missing Logs.

The game now remembers more than just level complete or not complete.

It saves terminal output, puzzle progress, restored files, wrong restore attempts, and whether the player used sudo correctly.

When the player returns later, the level can rebuild the correct state and continue from where they left off.

This is not the flashiest system, but it makes the game feel real.

I’m leaving for a few days, so the next build update will be after the weekend.

Day 5 of building HackMeNow, my terminal-style hacking puzzle game.

Today I’m adding path autocomplete to the fake Linux terminal.

In Level 2, the player has to restore a missing log file, so they need to type paths like:

/var/log
/var/backups/coffee.log.bak

Typing long paths manually is annoying, so now the player can press TAB to autocomplete files and directories.

This makes the game feel closer to a real Linux shell while still running safely inside a fake filesystem.

Day 4 of building HackMeNow in Python.

Today I’m building Level 2: The Missing Logs.

`/var/log/coffee.log` is gone, so the player has to find the backup, inspect it, and restore it using Linux-style commands:

find
cat
cp
mv
sudo

Try copying without sudo and you get permission denied. Use the right command and the system is restored.

Linux learning, but make it a terminal puzzle game.

Day 3 of building HackMeNow, my terminal-style hacking puzzle game.

Today I made Level 1 playable.

The player starts as a Junior SysOps Engineer at AngrySysOps Corp with one critical mission: make a coffee.

But BREWTRON-9000 refuses normal user access.

make me a coffee → permission denied
sudo make me a coffee → success

This is where the game starts teaching Linux concepts through puzzles, jokes, and terminal commands.

Rift Wizard 3 comes out later this month, so for a special bonus episode of the podcast, I sat down with its creator Dylan White to talk details!

I had originally budgeted 30 minutes for us to chat, but we happily went over that by twice as much. Lots of great conversation about gamedev and what success means in this modern era of roguelikes.

experiment today embedding a #pygame into a #matrix widget. I'm using pyodide to load the pygame engine into the embedded browser and having it cycle colors on a canvas below the console output

my hope is that I'll be able to combine this with something like the widget sdk + matrix's web RTC support + some kind of maubot for storing data on the server to create some basic arcade games (e.g. multiplayer pong, tetris, galaga, etc.)
