As a person who loves both coding and worldbuilding, this is a website that was made for me, and I had to share it. The design is clean, every letter and symbol from even the most obscure scripts seem to be included in their databanks, and it is simply a joy to hit the random button and look at whatever comes next. I have no affiliation, but you can even make an account and favorite the characters you find to be the most captivating. It's a site I didn't know I wanted, but is now in my top ten places to visit on the web.

For a more thorough explanation, here's another link: https://tinyurl.com/digitalblackbox

The author of the software notes in the description that he is looking for help in the security/cryptography field. I really think he's got something special there, so I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention. I have no affiliation whatsoever, this simply popped up on my "recommended" area on Github.

Discord created for this tool here: (Help with mods is needed!)

I set up the discord!

Do you think I should put one up?

Has anyone created a discord or IRC for this yet? I'm keen on learning a tool like this, and would love to be able to discuss it with others. If anyone wants, I will, but if that's a bad idea then let me know and I won't. Just looking to learn from others more experienced than myself!

My fiance has on her laptop, but definitely not me as she is usually saying how slow it is and all she does is browse the internet.

Hey everyone. I don't want to start a debate or anything, I'm just looking for a privacy concerned chat service that I can easily teach my fiance to sign up for and use. She gave up on Pidgin, and I would appreciate any pros/cons for your favorite service of this kind. Thank you in advance!

Wow, this is really interesting! You developed this yourself?

So, I'm working on a website/maybe a newsletter while that's under construction. It's focus is on 2d Game Development, and I hope to turn it into an open source compendium or library where the more contributions you make, (and the more you can teach about the language) the more opportunities you get to post articles and scripts. (This is a very brief description but that's the idea.)

Rust is a language I have little to no familiarity with. I would love to learn more about it and talk to people who develop with it. Would you recommend it as something to include as a major platform for 2d game development? Also, is it a "good" engine in your experience?

Thanks for pointing that out, honestly. I actually understand what it wants from me now (as far as text goes and not links dear god I made a mess with that.) I edited it and I think it resembles the others now, so if it's okay let me know and I'll try to fix it up if it isn't!

I'm sorry, again. (I'm doing better than yesterday, yikes, look at that one!) I though doing a line break in between every line would make it better, and it did, but man it definitely looks like a poem.

I will do my best to get this right! Apologies, seriously. So few rules on the formatting is throwing me off.

This may sound strange, but I am subscribed to no newsletters. In fact, I had no idea such specific, elegant newsletters even existed. I may add to the rainstorm, whether that's bad or good...I don't actually know.

In any case, I'm working on site that is to hopefully serve as a hub for 2d game developers to share their scripts and thoughts freely, gaining access to "the restricted sections" of the site as they contribute (and yes, this is inspired by Pagemaster.) and as such, the site will become a library over time.

People can take a penny, leave nothing, or give a roll of pennies and never take any pennies. People should have as much or as little access as they wish. The best thing about this idea I think is when users sign up for their "library cards" they will actually receive something that functions like one in digital form. (I may try to look into making physical cards which I have designed already! but I still have to work out the logistics of that..., haha.)

When they have cards, they will instead of "chcking out books", be able to create the books that they want, similar to wikipedia's pdf/book system. (Everything hosted on site will be open source too, to be used for whatever purposes including commercial.)

And here's where the ourobouros comes back to bite, I swear this isn't a tangent.

I think a newsletter would be a better place to start for me to prototype this idea. WEven though the site is under construction already. It will be in that state for a long time too, as this is my first time developing web content, instead of games! But I could do this.

Thanks for sharing! (I don't self promote in posts, but if you are interested, just see my profile.)

Really enjoying the content of this website and am glad to have found it.

Thank you so much! I am going to try to fix them up knowing

that now, though I did produce the original look I inteneded

for the comment here.

I'm so sorry about this formatting. It's my first comment and I couldn't find any syntax rules so I just went standard markdown. Not a good idea. In any case, I've tried to edit it but it won't allow me to make changes, and I apologize for this. I was not hasty, and this took me an hour to write up.

I'm a big fan of hundredrabbits or, as they are also known, [rekka and divine](https://hundredrabbits.itch.io/), and my Playnite Library has a section called "Gamedev Tools" that is filled with all the Borgesian wonders that they have made, including Orca. To find out more about their awesome stuff, like how the freaking built many of these tools while on the ocean, literally sailing around the world, [here's their site!](https://100r.co/)

I'll let you explore on your own, but I will offer here some links to my favorites that they have made. (Including more music related apps for those who like Orca!)
