To me it's not different from having multiple files, on the contrary it's even easier to do search and replace

Yes!

Yes, a partial list is in "Known bugs and limitations" in NOTES.

Well, the code base is smaller and (arguably) easier to read. Building is easier. There's a debugger with stepping, very easy to use

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Very little

Technologies: C, Common Lisp, some Perl and Python, GNU/Linux, networking, some HTML and Javascript, low-level, Linux drivers, interpreters and compilers

Email: it's in the description of my profile

My name is Andrea Monaco and I'm 31 years old. I'm writing an implementation of the Common Lisp language with more than 80% compliance (https://savannah.nongnu.org/p/alisp). I have other projects at https://github.com/andreamonaco, among them an online multiplayer game called Zombieland, a Linux driver for my video card, and an utility to record screen on Linux.

I have a bachelor in Mathematics.

I'm looking for a job, either contract or employed. Mostly remote, unlikely to relocate

I started experimenting with the possibility of recording the framebuffer directly, bypassing the X server or Wayland: the Linux kernel provide this via a system called DMAbuf.

To be fair, the idea is not mine: ffmpeg let you do that with the kmsgrab input device, but for some reason they don't recommend it very much, certainly not as a first choice; maybe that road is not as tested as the classic x11grab.

So here is the first version of my little utility screenrec: you can take a screenshot or record a short video of your desktop.

It's a proof-of-concept; while it only supports a linear or tiledX by 4KB framebuffer and only the pixel format of my video card, those limitations are easy to expand.

Let me know if you like it!

Any number of players can move in the same map and shoot at each other until they die; they can shoot at zombies too; they can collect rotten meat in their inventory. Meanwhile they must keep fed and hydrated.

I tested in a LAN, but it should work in any network. You can even start multiple clients locally if you don't have other people. Let me know how many people you manage to handle!

I will keep adding stuff to this game and will keep you updated. The map will also get bigger.

Make any question down here! Thanks for reading.

Savannah is very basic, perhaps too much, but it's okay for my project.
