This is a followup to my previous Linux post. It has been a little over two months since I last properly used Windows, and things are going reasonably well.

So, it’s been about two weeks ago since I switched to Linux full-time. What brought this on is that I finally got a different GPU - I swapped my RTX 3060 Ti for my friend’s RX 6700 XT. The NVIDIA card was basically unusable on Linux for me: I am required to use Wayland due to my display setup (mismatching refresh rates), but Wayland on NVIDIA is full of issues (namely broken graphics APIs under XWayland.) NVIDIA is slowly fixing their stuff, but now I have an AMD GPU where none of these issues exist, that means I can use Linux now instead of waiting for all that to drip down to me.

At some point, the “big three” C/C compilers (GCC, Clang, MSVC) gained a warning about implict fallthroughs in switch statements:

I managed a 2.5× performance increase in Catacombs Plus with a couple of simple optimisations.

Eclipse 2024-03 is out. Like most Eclipse releases there’s not much interesting in the release notes - and that’s fine, because Eclipse is already a fairly solid IDE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! … What do you mean it’s almost March?

While working on Catacombs Plus, I was encountering a weird issue where, when you started a new run after ending one, the runner would just crash with no error message.

Somehow, it’s been over a year since I took part in Ludum Dare 51, which resulted in me creating a game called Catacombs 51. I’m actually reasonably proud of this game, but being made in 48 hours meant it was very rough around every possible edge and pretty barren of content. In the past month or so I’ve been revisiting this game, with the goal of greatly smoothening out those edges, and eventually adding more content. This project is being tentatively titled Catacombs Plus.

I’ve just finished converting my site to use Jekyll, replacing WordPress. Hopefully I’ve preserved the permalinks for every post and page as best as possible. This will have reset the RSS feed’s post IDs though, so if you follow this blog via RSS: 1) What’s wrong with you? 2) Sorry, won’t happen again (at least for a while)

May as well.
