  • Tux can/should be in there, but make your character cast from a wide variety of public domain sources. Use real historical figures, classic literature, and mythology.

    Some specific ideas:

    • Thor (but not too much like the Marvel interpretation)
    • Poseidon
    • Dracula
    • Sherlock Holmes
    • Captain Blackbeard
    • Steamboat Willie (as of its copyright expiring)
    • T-Rex
    • Cthulu
    • Merlin the wizard
    • fairytale characters

    Also make a solid modding API to let people add their own characters, items, and stages.

  • You missed one big downside of using a VPN: many websites and services will block you even if you are using them 100% legitimately just because they don’t want to trust any traffic coming from a VPN.

  • First one I guess click on the horses? Second one I’d click the burger. Third one I’d enter 9 because the lions are wearing t shirts.

    I suspect the first and last captchas gave the image AI a prompt of 2 random nouns from a list.

  • The vast majority of games these days handle difficulty levels by simply tweaking the numbers of how much damage you take and deal. They build the game around a “recommended” difficulty and then add hard/easy modes after the fact by tweaking the stats.

    Other games simply turn off the ability to die, or something along those lines.

    In both of these cases the game is clearly built around the “normal” mode first. I’d be curious to see a clear cut example of that not being the case.

  • You may be confusing git with GitHub.

    git is a version control tool that lets you keep and manage a history of the files you are editing

    GitHub is a website (not directly affiliated with the group maintaining git) that lets you upload, backup, and share your code using the format used by the git tool.

    source control just refers to software to manage your source code in some form. git is the most popular tool of its kind, but there are others, for example mercurial.

  • You’ll feel right at home in the command line. Install Homebrew or MacPorts. These are command line package managers. Many if not most of the software tools you are used to on Linux likely have Mac versions as well and you can find them either online or via one of those package managers.

    If you are going to download software from Apple’s Apple Store, you will need to make an account. You can install software directly from the internet without needing an account. You might need to tweak some “security settings” in System Preferences to run software not from the App Store.

    Unfortunately Xcode is something you need an Apple account to install. However, the Xcode “command line tools”, which includes a lot of common tools like gcc, I believe you can install by running “xcode-select --install” from the command line even without an account. There might also be other ways to get those tools installed manually / not through Apple

    If you just want an IDE and really want to avoid making an account, just use VSCode or something. But if you will need to develop Mac apps using Apple’s APIs, it will likely be easier at the very least to work in Xcode. And if you are going to develop for any of Apple’s other operating systems (like iOS) you will need to make an account.
