What is a #GameEngine for you? Is there a gray area between game engines and graphics frameworks? You can make games with SDL, RayLib, Processing (and py5…), p5js, d3js, but would you consider them game engines?
Maybe I should ask my students to make a game engine purist-neutral-radical alignment chart ? 🤡
I’m using #Filen (@filen@filen) for a while now and I’m very pleased with it!
«Affordable zero-knowledge end to end encrypted cloud storage made in Germany.» Works on #Linux, nice well thought features.
So I’m going to share a referral link because «For every friend you invite to Filen you receive 10 GB - and your friend also receives 10B. It’s that easy»:

Updating my #Processing + #Python tools table:
After some years, things changed and my opinions changed a bit too:
#py5 is going super strong and the “new snake_case names” are not an issue for me anymore. I used to worry a lot about all the Processing Python mode examples and teaching materials out there, and some of my own, with “CamelCase Processing names” I’m not worried at all about it anymore!
For the record, Processing Python mode is just a legacy thing, no one should start anything with it.
The great pure Python Processing implementation project #p5py seems stalled, latest release in Dec. 2023 :((( Advancing it was always going to be an uphill battle…
The unrelated Brython based site
p5py.comseems to be gone, so I removed it from the table.I added a link to my own #pyp5js hack py5pjs/py5mode because this is what I’m using most nowadays.

On Image.fromarray():
DeprecationWarning: 'mode' parameter is deprecated and will be removed in Pillow 13 (2026-10-15)
img1 = PIL.Image.fromarray(my_array, mode="RGB")
So I went to see the documentation:
https://hugovk-pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/Image.html#PIL.Image.fromarray
And came out empty handed, that is, couldn’t understand what to do instead :(
And the plot thickens (this affects many projects, there are some workarounds, but some argument about “reverting” this change allowing some “mode” on import):
https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/pull/9063
(@py5coding@py5coding I guess you’ll want to check this out at some point. py5_tools.animated_gif uses mode=“RGB”)

#GitHub #GitHubPages #fail This is driving me mad…
Images randomly deciding not to load on all my pages.
Is it just me? Is it my browser’s fault? Is it just in Brazil?
I was working on this #shapely + #trimesh page… and I can only see the last image (the animated gif)!

Update: On this exact page I have bungled the image URLs (I blame Marktext for being stupid and not using a relative reference). But I swear loading problems have been going on other well formed pages.
So 429: Too Many Requests on my GitHub hosted images, breaking my tutorials etc… Not good!
July will be gone and my escape to Codeberg.org has not even started (I have to finish my PhD…)

Chamada aberta pro encontro brasileiro de programação criativa - Compoética 2025 … https://compoetica.github.io/links/
I wish I could watch this (maybe they’ll record it… but I’m not sure):
“From #Fortran to #Python: A Conversation Across Generations of #ScientificComputing” #PyOhio
https://www.pyohio.org/2025/program/talks/from-fortran-to-python/
“Explicando Dados #Geoespaciais em #Python”
The command line version is here:
https://github.com/villares/sketch-a-day/blob/main/admin_scripts/pngs_to_gif.py
I should add a “public domain dedication” to both scripts…
I have this very simple #Python script that uses #imageio to convert all PNG files on a folder into a #GIFAnimation, and this is a #FreeSimpleGUI version of it (I usually run a command line version).
As I usually run #gifsicle on the command line after creating a GIF, I decided to update it to add #pygifsicle to do it for me and save a step.

Impossible Linux things in my to-do list:
- Fix erratically jumping mouse wheel scrolling on a Dell
- Make a “SysRq key” work so I can do “REISUB” or something, when my computer freezes
I must have spent days (multiples of 24 hours) trying to solve these things and maybe I should just give up.
I suppose that if I had a “Linux experienced” friend by my side these could be solved in minutes, maybe?
Pessoas da comunidade brasileira de #ProgramaçãoCriativa por muitos anos fizeram encontros sob o nome promovido pela Fundação Processing, os chamados #ProcessingCommunityDay, fizemos encontros em várias cidades e então depois de 2020, com a pandemia do COVID-19, fizemos três eventos nacionais muito inspiradores em 2021, 2022 e 2023 (vide https://compoetica.github.io/links/)
Ano passado não conseguimos fazer e este ano pretendemos retomar, só que usando outro nome: #Compoética. Vamos aos poucos divulgar mais sobre o encontro brasileiro de programação criativa em https://compoetica.github.io/CP2025/
Meus agradecimentos profundos ao @guilhermesv@guilhermesv que dedica generosamente um enorme esforço para organizar esses eventos da comunidade e cria o design e peças de comunicação sempre emocionantes de lindos.
Lazy-fedi-question… I have a “working”(?) code example of TF-IDF #tfidf using #scikitlearn and I know the main concepts, but all the tutorials I find are a bit — I don’t want to be harsh but —crappy… Can someone point me to some nice open resource on it?

I’m watching #TheOrville. Some ideas are interesting but the sense of humor isn’t really to my taste. Maybe a bit on the nose, could I phrase it that way? And the clumsy stuff makes me feel nervous instead of making me laugh.
