Built "Kirby Sky Jumpers" with my two kids just yesterday. It's a 2 player jumping game where you collect stars and bounce off clouds to rack up the highest score before time runs out.
Players manage an energy bar to jump, land on clouds for super bounces, and you can throw bombs at each other to steal points and cause chaos. Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, no dependencies, ~1000 lines in a single file.
The kids designed the characters (Kirby and Kee Kee) and we had a blast playtesting together... tweaking cloud bounce physics, adding a tie screen for when scores match, bumping bombs from 3 to 5. Kid-driven game design is so much fun.
stare out the window. look at clouds. wonder how they take the shapes they do. think about water and how it moves through time and space. how those water molecules were once in a bowl of rice or loaf of bread. how many other things has this water been in? what about the water in my body, right now? holy shit, i’ve been a cloud before…
i've been having fun building with astro on cloudflare workers... i have a few apps that have API endpoints, content, and react/svelte components all glued together in one codebase. it's been relatively easy to add drizzle and cloudflare's D1 database to handle data stuff alongside everything else.
i use obsidian with the daily notes plugin and write stream of consciousness for about 15 minutes. sometimes i type, other times i use a dictation app.
lately i have been taking my daily notes and running them through a local LLM. i prompt it to “think like a therapist” and ask me follow up questions. this can dig up some interesting insights from time to time.
