Writes a lot of code, sometimes it even works. May or may not actually exist. (insert useful info here) ... Writing is not one of my skills. 🌉 bridged from ⁂ https://fosstodon.org/@Daft_Freak, follow @ap.brid.gy to interact

A pinky-purpley coloured dinosaur balanced on top of a monitor. There is a project called "RPG2" open in a Visual Studio Code window. The dinosaur's very important job is to make me feel slightly better when everything is broken.
A large item list with two items called "stuff" and "thing".
Rotating 3D PicoVision with 14-17ms frame times.
Pimoroni PicoVision with a Pico 2 connected on top of the usual Pico W. The Pico W has been "disabled" by cutting the track for the reset button and shorting RUN to ground.
A green dinosaur plushie with what appears to be an orange top hat with hexagonal holes. (It's actually a 3D-printed spool adapter that I got the dimensions slightly wrong for...)
At first "Pink" states that they are in the party. After talking to "Yellow" a message is displayed and "Pink" claims to not be in the party. The party menu confirms that "Pink" was replaced with "Yellow".
A big menu listing two party members, the second one isn't shown on the map yet... There is also a lot of empty space.
Game Boy player start-up disc for the GameCube.
Two characters having a conversation implying that I have nothing for indoor maps yet.
Lego "retro gaming console".
The original very green placeholder elf character portrait. She has pale green hair and a darker green shirt. (One of the main characters from a previous RPG project)
Character walking to a town on the "overworld" map and then switching to a bigger map. Then the character walks to the edge of the bigger map and returns to the "overworld".
Character sprite standing at the top-left edge of the map, in the ocean.
Some test dialogue and then a question which loops if you give the wrong answer.
Dialogue box now has the text of "Test question" and three buttons at the bottom labelled "Option 1" to "Option 3". Theoretically selecting different options does different things.
Screenshot with a dialogue box open, the text is "This message is from a script!".
Another screenshot of the unnamed RPG I've been working on. There is a small menu in the top right corner with "Party", "Items", "Load Game", "Save Game", "Exit Game" and "Close" buttons. The only one that does anything is the "Close" button.
A 3D printed frog in six colours still sitting go the print bed. There are filament strings everywhere...
Prusa core one with the "love board" connected to a cable hanging out of the back. (Plus bonus Lego time machine in the corner, which I unfortunately could not use to go back in time and avoid my mistake)
Video of most of what was shown in previous posts. You can see that collisions and the dialogue box work.
Lego game boy box.
WIP pixel art of a character that is supposed to have pale green hair and blue eyes, but instead has blue hair and dark green eyes because I messed up the palette. This is probably a new character now...
"Bionicle cosplayer" and "monster hunter" Lego minifigures. In front of my rainbow benchy, because rainbows.
After interacting with the town, a dialogue box has popped up with the placeholder character saying "I don't need to go there.". This is definitely not a cover for "this place has no map".
Character sprite walking towards a town with a placeholder-y name of "Sielto", when they get close a box pops up with the name of the town and an icon for the "return" key. There are also W/S/A/D icons in the bottom right. After this the character walks away and back with the icons changing to more appropriate ones for a controller.
Screenshot with W/S/A/D icons in the top left.
Character sprite trying to walk into a forest and the sea, but being blocked by collisions.
Character sprite partially hidden behind the roof of a building.
The elf sprite is now wandering about on the map. The sprite faces the direction it is moving and plays a walking animation. At the end of the video the sprite walks across the water and off the edge of the map because I have no collision detection yet.
The map from before now rendered in the game, with the sprites on top... in the sea. Unfortunately, she does not have swimming animations.
Some output from my old game engine, claiming that a texture failed to load then immediately saying that it succeeded. Full text: [Error] [ImageHandler] Unable to find image "map/TilesetGrassoverworld_tileset_grass.png". [Error] [TextureLoader] Loading texture : "map/TilesetGrassoverworld_tileset_grass.png" : Failed. [Info] [TextureLoader] Loading texture : "map/TilesetGrassoverworld_tileset_grass.png|0|sRGB|0" : Succeeded.
A large window with a grey background and eight animated sprites of a character with pointy ears and green hair. The first four are "idle" animations facing various directions, the others are a walking animation.
A classic RPG "overworld" map in Tiled.
Cybiko Xtreme with the "friend" counter going up as a nearby RFM69 spams it with "ping" packets.
Serial output from the Cybiko I have now fixed multiple times: Starting Cy0S boot loader v1.1.7 Scanning RAM... Looks like there's no valid RAM fond... System halted.
RFM69HCW with a wire antenna balanced on top of a rainbow benchy. There is also a rainbow of jumper wires connected to it.
Multiple handheld console prototypes in front of a 32 channel logic analyser and behind a Tufty 2350. The one on the top is grey/purple/clear and the next one down is black(with glitter)/blue.
A Cybiko Xtreme showing that there is someone called "DaftDaft" nearby. Next to it id the RF board from another Cybiko with some wires attached to a breakout board.
The back of a Cybiko "classic" with two AAA batteries in the battery compartment. There's a 3D printed guide holding them in place.
A 3D printed dragon with rainbow wings standing on a Cybiko. There's my usual rainbow beachy to the side and a bunch of random prototype desk clutter surrounding it.
A Windows 2000 VM with the "Virtual CyWIG" software running next to two Cybiko emulator instances. One is running the "cywig" app, the other is running the "WAP Browser" app with frogfind.com loaded.

Cybiko Xtreme desktop running in an emulator and displaying that there are (at least) 100 people nearby.
Screenshot of Cybiko "classic" desktop in an emulator.
Cybiko "classic" with what should be four test bars on the display, but the default contrast settings at boot aren't great so three of the bars aren't very distinct.
Tufty2350 displaying that the temperature is 31.9 degrees right where I'm sitting.
Kicad PCB editor with an incomplete recreation of the Cybiko "classic" (v2) board layout.
Dialog box with "Cancel" and "Ok" buttons and a message of "If you want to be able to communicate wirelessly, call your parent. If your parents are not here, press Cancel now."
Front side of Cybiko PCB with an "Enter password" screen on the display.
