Yay! Time for @coolbutuseless! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats
Moonshot goal: he decided to write and play a video game in #RStats. From what I've seen on twitter I suspect he also submitted it to #RStudioConf as a commitment device. #RStudioConf2022
He focused on pixel graphics, using base #RStats to draw rectangles (pixels). #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf
nativeRaster is a rarely used, fast data format for this purpose. Very fast to copy to the graphics device. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats
Ha I missed grabbing a photo of 5000 pixel beasties being drawn quickly in #RStats. @coolbutuseless is insane in the best way! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf
github.com/coolbutuseless… for so much fun! Omg I died listening to his drum machine sing, imposed in R, with a visual interface #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats
I'm not familiar with the game Another World, but that's what he ported.
Oh this is too awesome. Watch the videos! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats
He has released a zillion packages around this on github. Somebody help him make it work on windows, please! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats
(er the drum machine SONG was COMPOSED in #RStats, sometimes I can't type)
