Now that that's official, I should do a re-​#introductions​:
Hi, I'm Spencer! I do a bunch of things; often with programming, sometimes with games, and almost always on a computer. Check my website for some of that. On Mastodon, I'm known for my bots @doctormccoy and @domainhacker​​​, an emoji importer script, the little 🗨️ in the corner of Glitchsoc statuses, for being a geometric shape, and for the dont_at_me emoji.

Hi. I made a game (finally). Play it if you'd like:

It should only take a minute or two, and should run in your browser or on your phone.

Apropos of nothing, if you ever need a spare programmer or some programming help, especially for a game or game-related thing, let me know. I've used Unity, C, JS, Python, Java, and UE4, but I'm also quick to learn.

It gets worse! One library multiplies them differently (possibly just incorrectly?).

(and in math it’s ijk or abcd. As if quaternions weren’t confusing enough already!)

Ok, I wasn't totally wrong earlier. Some libraries do use xyzw and others use wxyz. Agh.

2 hours spent debugging because I thought quaternions were xyzw instead of wxyz

Why does auto-suggest give “😐” for “sorry”? Is this the face you’re supposed to make when apologizing? Is it even appropriate to use emoji?

yes that's right, i am now the annoying mastodon user that only checks in sometimes and replies to days-old posts

any streamers/youtubers you recommend? especially niche-/derivative-/indie gaming, want more of that

YouTube is showing me vids that I initially skipped before I had played it.
• I did not realize how significant the "Eye of the Universe"''s name was, nor that its backstory was important to the ending
• The game is much more of a technical achievement than I initially thought

I think my ability to fully understand a codebase may not be limited by the number of lines of code, but rather by the number of layers of indirection or abstraction.
