Notes from the build

Dev log

Three entries so far, each one pulled off a real commit in the game repo. The short hash under every title is the receipt.

These are not announcements. They are the notes from the days where something turned out to be more interesting than expected — usually because a number that had been written down confidently for weeks turned out never to have been measured.

  1. Tooling 94f563b

    The level editor saves a diff, not a level

    Hand-placing blocks with a mouse usually means abandoning the generator that made the level. This one keeps both, by never writing a level file at all.

  2. Audio 12110d7

    A soundtrack that ships as zero bytes

    The music is written in Haskell, played live in TidalCycles, and then compiled into the app as a table of numbers. No audio file ever gets bundled.

  3. Rendering 1ec2064

    The value bracket that was never on screen

    The design doc said the lit wall was brighter than the floor. It had said so for weeks. Then somebody measured a screenshot.

Every entry above is a real commit in the game repo, and every number in one was measured rather than remembered. Where something is still unmeasured, the entry says so.
