The hottest take on Russia's hilariously bad attempts to block Telegram over the last two days.
@manu Yeah, I don't understand why Firefox removed the icon from defaults. In Chrome, it almost becomes a strategy: Close down Google Reader, remove RSS icon from Chrome, start pushing publishers to use your proprietary AMP thing instead 
So... some lame human took my Apache 2 licensed "Cat Avatar Generator" app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agateau.catgenerator …), added ads to it and put it on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swagselfie.catgenerator&rdid=com.swagselfie.catgenerator …).

Ironically it was originally called CMakeHelp, but when I tried to upload it to PyPI I found out there was already a CMakeHelp tool, which looks
Playing around with a new icon for Pixel Wheels, using Endesga edg32 palette in Aseprite.
Still wondering if it looks punchy or if the colors clash horribly :)
After too many attempts at drawing decent top-down trees for Pixel Wheels, I am considering changing to an RPG style perspective. True top-down is too frustrating to draw with. This is what I have so far.
The only drawback is I would have to remove the screen rotation in the game, but lots of people seems to dislike it, so maybe it's not a problem, what do you think?

Coucou les pixel artiste, on cherche s'il existe des sites/appli pour initier les enfants au pixel art lors d'un atelier, des conseils ?

Hello pixel's artist we're looking for some website/app to initiate kids to pixel art, any suggestion ?
Boost appreciated
Sound in Pixel Wheels is making good progress. I am reasonably happy with the API (managed to resist the lure of the Singleton so far!). Right now the wip/audio branch has sounds for the engine, drifting, picking bonus, exploding mines and guns.
