This evening drawing: some kind of mix between a galleon and a spaceship, loosely inspired from a Lanfeust des Étoiles comic.

What is this worrying shadow? Never mind, it's just me having fun with shadow tiles while working on Pixel Wheels.

No, this won't be on the final map ;)

Yesterday evening drawing. I started with the truck, then decided the back was too empty so I filled it with a graffiti from an artist who painted a lot around Paris when I was young.
No, it's nowhere near a faithful rendition :)

It occurred to me yesterday evening that my Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/agateau did not contain links to the games and apps you can support 🤦. That says a lot about my marketing skills I guess... Anyway, I expanded the welcome text now, hopefully it's more useful!

I just released version 0.4.0 of cookiecutter-qt-app (https://github.com/agateau/cookiecutter-qt-app), a cookiecutter to quickly create a "real-world" Qt application.

The generated applications have the following features out of the box:

- Translation support
- Installing data files, and code to find them on the disk
- Desktop shortcuts
- Unit-testing, using Catch2
- Packages/installers for Linux (deb and rpm for now), macOS and Windows

I would love to hear if you find it useful!

The world is a scary place. This young crab thinks it's safer to crawl back under its rock.
