I am super-happy to see this project being worked on.

Note: this version is still considered to be an alpha release.

"With two months of successful playtesting behind us, we are pleased to finally announce Release 20231010, which brings the public release up to date with development changes from November 2022 through to August 2023. The new release contains some long-awaited UI and UX improvements and many polish changes overall.

Website description:

Taisei (泰西, lit. Occident) is a free and open-source fangame of the Tōhō series, written in C using SDL2 and OpenGL.

Basically, it is a shoot ’em up game with lots of bullets (the genre is literally called bullet hell). It doesn’t aim to rebuild a particular installment of the Tōhō games, but is rather an original game set in the world of Tōhō. Enjoy dodging through 6 stages full of new bullet patterns on four difficulty levels!

Thanks for this!!

I just realized I can use the following command to OCR a bitmap in the clipboard and put the text back into the clipboard.

xclip -out -selection clipboard -t image/bmp
| tesseract stdin stdout -l eng
| xclip -in -selection clipboard

This works in my linux VM (in Virtualbox on my work laptop) using bi-directional shared clipboard without touching my Windows software.

Mind blown!!

This is great! I was hoping someone would try port or update Tanks of Freedom.

Yes, maybe it would be better to say complimentary if claimed in the next 30 days?

[–] motorondo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

True, I don't like paying money to Amazon, but if you are already paying the fee anyway . . .

[–] motorondo@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Do Linux From Scratch! You will learn a lot. I credit LFS with getting me comfortable with the linux command line.

But don't use it as your daily use linux.

Thanks, another to add to my games backlog. It does look interesting though!

[–] motorondo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So much DLC. Does that make this basically a demo?

Autonauts and Revita have been also added as free this week.
