A self-hosted media cataloging web app, with which one can mark the books, movies, music and games one likes, along with some basic social networking features such as microblogging, normal blogging, bookmarking and curating stuffs into lists. It's just me trying out ideas in an highly self-indulgent way.

I spent 86 days with ChatGPT-4 and made a Goodreads clone (kinda) that I always want to have: https://github.com/huangziwei/luvdb

I have near-zero web dev experience before this project. After about a month, I started to rely on it less and less. But I still use it to debug when I hit the wall.

Build your own tool if there isn't one. I used to think it's impossible as I barely know web dev, but in 2023, with the help of ChatGPT, I managed to build my own Goodreads alternative (well, it's actually more than a Goodreads alternative) in two months:

I've been doing some modernization on an old scripting language used by the game engine I work on [1]. Added a garbage collector, simplified how internal symbols are defined, added a VS code extension with some niceties like syntax highlighting, "Go to Definition", and doc tooltips. Also recently added support for websockets and plan to tackle JSON soon.

ZQuest Classic - Engine to play and create games like the original Zelda. C++, OpenGL

Developing a new website for the open source game engine I work on. Nearly finished with it.

https://zquestclassic.com

It's a Zelda-like game engine with some 1000ish games made in it over 20 years. Used to be called Zelda Classic, but we renamed it this year.

Thanks, that was a silly oversight. Your comment is appreciated, as it saved an instruction in my game engine's JIT compilation :)

I found Sentry's crash reporting (which uses crashpad) simple enough to configure into an existing CMake build within an afternoon.

Building Sentry/crashpad from source in a few lines of CMake: https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic/commit/3471...

And a few lines in the main function: https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic/commit/3471...

My hobby is working on a 20+ year game engine. Still occasionally delete DOS-only code in it. https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic

```

The `Hero.{x,y}` properties here are a custom fixed precision number class with some implicit conversions to int, which I suspect being relevant to the crash.

Using it locally too, works great on Mac, but on Windows ccache has some problems caching debug builds. IIRC the embedded debug symbols use absolute paths, so the presence of this particular flag (/Z something...) disables cache eligibility.
