@hammerron yeah they don't stay little for long at all.

in a meeting rn but I'd rather be back in my yard hoverhanding this bird.

@cwebber yeah that would probably look really cool! at the time the screenshot was taken the blocks had already scaled to 0 and are not visible.

I cleaned up the UI a bit so everything is nice and centered.

@cwebber no lens flares but how about some cute stars?

@cwebber I'll see how much gratuitous juice I can squeeze in here.

@cwebber gonna try to add some particle effects now

my tetris clone now has some "juice". when rows are cleared there is an animation that plays before they are removed from the screen and the rows above move down smoothly. what was interesting about doing this was realizing how the data structure I had chosen for the board (a single vector) made adding any juice at all very difficult. I switched to using a vector of vectors instead and that gave me the flexibility I needed.

animating tetris row clears is not as easy as I thought it would be.

I don't know how this happened but a bunny got into our house and the cats were chasing it around. stressful situation.

@Pixley dope

bug report with reproduction code for all you nerds out there: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2019-07/msg00013.html

okay, it's a bug in guile. got a minimal test case.

it seems that the cause of the breakage is that I have another class, outside of the aforementioned class hierarchy, that defines a position accessor. this class is defined before the buggy class. seems that once the accessor is setup, it breaks the getters for all classes thereafter.

also, there is of course a method for the base class so shouldn't that method be applicable to this subclass anyway? double wtf

I've run into some weird ass problems with Guile's OOP system and I can't tell if it's a bug in Guile or a bug in my code. a class defines a slot with a getter. when using that getter on an instance of a subclass it throws a "no applicable method" error. indeed, when I inspect the generic function, there are methods for a bunch of other subclasses, but not the one I'm interested in. wtf?

yall ever want to just like eat a food lmao

@cwebber oof.

@cwebber did they also get mad when bkuhn made a lengthy point about diversity during his racketcon talk?

hey @technomancy your racketcon talk was awesome!
