I sometimes like working on never-to-be-finished video game projects

Right now I'm making a game called Chronicles.

Wanna make a game? Here is a list of great C++ libraries to use.

I maintain a Letterboxd in much the way that I assume people maintain bonsai trees.

Let's make some music when we have no idea how

sp::list<Scale> const& Scales() {
   static sp::list<Scale> out;
   if (out.empty()) {
      out.push_back({ "Major", {2,2,1,2,2,2,1} });
      out.push_back({ "Minor", {2,1,2,2,1,2,2} });
      out.push_back({ "Mixolydian", {2,2,1,2,2,1,2} });
      out.push_back({ "Dorian", {2,1,2,2,2,1,2} });
      out.push_back({ "Harmonic", {2,1,2,2,1,3,1} });
      out.push_back({ "Melodic", {2,1,2,2,2,1} });
      out.push_back({ "Maj. Pentatonic", {2,2,3,2,3} });
      out.push_back({ "Min. Pentatonic", {3,2,2,3,2} });
      out.push_back({ "Blues", {3,2,1,1,3,2} });
      out.push_back({ "Whole Tone", {2,2,2,2,2,2} });
      out.push_back({ "Dim. Whole-Half", {2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1} });
      out.push_back({ "Dim. Half-Whole", {1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2} });
   }
   return out;
}

This 2018 Blog Post About Risk/Reward and Game Design is Good

My own thoughts: This is a really useful approach to deconstructing some long-held and oft-parroted "hard rules of game design." I take a little umbrage with the takedown of Dead Cells cursed chests because the loss of time is exactly the thing at stake and it ratchets up the tension so hard. The useful bit here is examining choice in more ways than how to punish it's selection.
