Full UI Upscaling, Part 5: Completion and Demos

By Kyzrati | Published: February 23, 2024

They’re alive! Last month I shared a sizeable collection of interface mockups summarizing my vision for a playable Cogmind interface that could fit within a 45-row terminal. Those mockups are now a reality, fully implemented more or less as described, and in the time since I’ve even gone further down that path and implemented the […]

Kyzrati on Hacking, the InterfaceGood point, and a good reminder from this now-ancient article :) Obviously never took that direction in the regular game, but yep ...
y0un65t3r on Hacking, the InterfaceSome of these unused hacking risks would make epic CY-PHR mechanics!
Kyzrati on Adventures in Map Zooming, Part 2: Engine-level ArchitectureUm, yeah, complete overhaul so not something that would ever happen for that reason alone (unnecessary now), although just as impo...
Kyzrati on A Simple Approach to Player-Designed RobotsYeah it's turned out quite well! (and we've been having a lot of fun with these things even outside the game, as you can see...
Kyzrati on Fog of WarYeah it's a pretty old post at this point, and I remember that was a fun article but they must've changed their link structure, or...
