@mayuutann Did you buy a Nintendo Switch?

@veer66 No, I didn't. I don't play games...

@mayuutann You can run Ruby now. 😅

@hj @rin stop with the knee jerk FUD. I've researched this. And again, let me worry about that. You go build cool stuff on the device. K?

@hj @rin friend. Take. A. Look. At. Fuze.

And again let me worry about this. You don't have to.

@hj @rin I'll take that as "I stand corrected. Sorry".

@hj @rin @amirrajan

Welp guess we saw who was right and who was wrong now.

@rin @hj @amirrajan They released a new hardware revision where this is fixed. If you buy a new switch it will be patched.

(Old switches are still unpatchable and good though 😄)

@hj there is precedence for this: take a look at Fuze: https://www.fuze.co.uk/nintendo-switch.html

Also. Stop living in this world of fear. A kid's eyes would have lit up seeing this. And that is my intent/motivation.

PS: Let me worry about that. Go forth and create awesome crazy things.

@thog @hj correct. And all this runs in user land on top of it (yes, I did do an immense amount of pen testing).

And again. FUZE literally does this but with Q Basic. Go make magic happen with Ruby.

@thog @hj I didn't expose any http methods to this Ruby runtime outside of http_get("some url") which returns plain text.

So mostly useless.

@noirscape here is the source code for some of the stuff within the game. Feel free to monkey patch as needed: https://github.com/amirrajan/power-overwhelming

@glitch source code to help with your video game making journey: https://github.com/amirrajan/power-overwhelming

I've included parts of A Dark Room source in there too so you can "mod" it.

@glitch and if you need anything else added to it, I'll throw it up there for reference.

@vaartis yep! The Switch version is highly tuned for "active" play. Pacing is different and there is a much much deeper narrative (since it's assumed that the player is more attentive).

There is always a non-trivial decision to make or task to do on the Switch version.

@boots yep! Build all the things!!

Here is some sample code here: https://github.com/amirrajan/power-overwhelming/blob/master/kaigi_2019_logo.rb

@amirrajan \o/!!!

@amirrajan don't have a way to connect a keyboard to an undocked switch, so no video, but here's a pic!

@amirrajan ill probably play the game, too, since it looks neat, i just heard ruby interpreter + engine on the switch and got excited

@amirrajan tried "$layout.toast 2+2" and...this doesn't seem right :<

@amirrajan (that white blob in the middle DOES say 4 for the record)

@amirrajan Do you mind if I post about this on twitter or are you trying to keep it on the down low?

@debugninja keeping on the DL right now. But feel free to “carefully” spread the word

@amirrajan understood

@debugninja you let me worry about that and go build awesome stuff

@phoenix @amirrajan He already mentioned in the comments that he tested it thoroughly

@phoenix @john FUZE: https://www.fuze.co.uk/nintendo-switch.html

@phoenix @john and literally Also. Like... do you want to be right? Do you want this taken down? What do you gain from that? Go build cool things with it, maybe teach a kid how to code, and stop with the doom and gloom 🤷‍♂️

@phoenix @amirrajan @john my first thought was also “oh shit this is definitely getting taken down” so i bought it from the website asap :p

@phoenix @amirrajan Welp, forget what I said... FUZE isn't even out for the switch... seems like Nintendo got rid of it? Not too sure

@john @phoenix it releases at the end of May

@phoenix @amirrajan I'm pretty sure it is sandboxed heavily... there are other programs for the switch https://www.fuze.co.uk/nintendo-switch.html
