PM sent!

It's not decided yet who will sleep at my place, who will go to a hotel, or who will be here in the first place. Looking forward to you all.

I'm definitely up for Bristol, and would also be happy to travel to anywhere on the coast. Seaside in Winter can be very beautiful.

Happy to help Northern friends with transport if needed.

Quote from: Simon on August 27, 2026, 04:28:13 AMIf we disable airclick, should clicking the R in the panel cancel replay?

Definitely.

The panel hints let the user know that they can cancel. But, panel hints are also optional. Discoverability is an issue for sure; maybe we can show a message the first time we enter replay mode (we're back to that again).

Quote from: Simon on August 27, 2026, 04:48:46 AMHunch: Do the event handlers (callback functions) for on-click run in separate threads?

I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I certainly haven't implemented any sort of threading, but it may have been done by one of the previous devs.

Quote from: Simon on August 27, 2026, 04:48:46 AMAnd do they accomplish a lot of work by loading the level during the callback? Then: I'd try to make the event handlers lightweight. They should merely notify the main logic that filename/level X should be loaded. Later, the main logic opens the file.

I'm about 60% sure that the click is too heavy; the handler calls a method which includes loading level info and all sorts of other stuff. I've tried making it more lightweight by only processing exactly what we can see at any given time, but the click certainly could be more optimized.

Do you imagine: the click should 'request' that we load the level? Then, once the click has been eaten by Windows, then and only then load the level? (And, suppress further clicks until the level loading is complete?)

That could work!

Another collaboration session might be due. It would be good to look at a few bugs with you. We can look at Lix as well, it would be good to get the 'release mouse' hotkey finished.

I would absolutely love to visit Germany and meet everybody. If I do manage to come over in Feb, I'll likely arrange my own accomodation so as not to overwhelm Simon with guests.

@Simon - I believe you live on a mountain! Are there relatively inexpensive hotels/BnBs nearby?

All rightie, next NepsterLix stream will be scheduled for Friday August 28, 2026 at 5PM PST (00:00 UTC). Hopefully this will be fine, as I'm trying to accommodate both Armani and Flopsy (and of course Simon if he's able to), who weren't able to make my stream last time. Especially the latter, as I know how much he loves Lix, and I'm more than happy to have him be a part of my future Lix streams from now on He also gave me advice back either the end of 2020 or early 2021 to consider looking at Lix content if I'm ever running out of NL content to play. Well, that time has pretty much finally come for me, as I'm now more or less out of NL content to play. So, time for me to check out all the wonderful Lix content!

As usual, I unfortunately can generally only stream in the late afternoon, by which point it's generally not a good time for European residents, as it would be midnight or past when it's 5PM PST (my time zone). However, given that tomorrow is the weekend, I think this should be fine, as I think we're generally up late on those days anyway instead of sleeping in or whatnot

See you tomorrow if you're able to make my NepsterLix stream. No worries if you're not able to make it at the very start, just come in whenever you're able to at any time the stream is still going!    

Hi everyone

That sounds like a good idea WillLem, I remember there being a section of the community that were into the traditional Classic mode style lemmings.

I keep having having Dreams and In the dream I'm asking my cousin, how far did you get in 3d Lemmings, I knew in the dream that he never completed lemmings 3d it before, well maybe in real life he has but not in the dream.

I quite liked Lemmings 3d and recommend it to other fans of lemmings, it is a bit tricky getting used to the camera but once you know the basics with the camera controls, it's a really fun game.

I completed the game a while back. 

Pushover is a really great game and very fun puzzle game, I played the atari st version of the game and I remember the music really well.  My dad and brother really like Pushover as well.

Good on you for working on that one VorticonCmdr

That reminds me: I am probably away on the weekend of the 6.3.2027 as most likely a wedding where I am invited will take place there.
