Today’s exercise is flower-field. This is the one they replaced minesweeper with because they were triggered by reality and can’t understand that play lets you learn to face bad things in a normal healthy manner. It is pandering not sensitivity.

Upon finishing this exercise the number exercises remaining in the C# and Python tracks are equal at 67 each.  So that’s cool. With only 13 days left, I will probably just keep on C# until the end of 100 days of coding.

It looks like the OLC Code Jam 2025 theme is “SHAPES“. I spent the whole time trying to get emscripten running. I think I uninstalled and re-installed about three times. I wanted to use PGE with emscripten but I was getting strange errors on the javascript side. Eventually I decided to try running things with SDL2. That almost worked for a while but the app locked up. Eventually I figured out the sample code I swiped was using get event instead of poll event. Still it should have responded, but once I swapped it out, I finally had a red box I could move with the keyboard.
