Been really good about devoting time to projects. Yesterday I went down the rabbit-hole of why the pygame exe files I created on Windows 10 didn't work on my Windows 7 laptop.

I figured it out.

  • Python 3.5 and Python 3.6 is broken for creating single-file executables
  • Old python dependencies api-ms-win-crt-* are now all in one library on windows 10
    • Doesn't package right to play on old windows versions

Most of this information is contained in this PyInstaller issue.

I haven't been devoting any time to a project I was working on with a friend, and yesterday I hashed some stuff out with him and I'm going to try to devote some time to it today.

Realized I didn't like the formatting of some diary posts here and so I fixed it. Gotta not do line breaks within paragraphs. I'm used to markdown not doing line breaks for a single line break.

Okay, now work on project.
