Get Floor Is Lava on Google Play
A project tracker, built from scratch
Built a genuinely useful side tool tonight: a Markdown-as-database project tracker with a dashboard (active/completed/high-priority/recent tasks), per-project tabs; Floor Is Lava, BeStreak PB Tracker, Lifeline Timeline; subtasks, search, and a browser-local cache backup in case the MD file is ever lost.
Level editor: a standard random button
Added a “Standard” platform button: plain red, yellow or blue tiles with no special behaviour, useful when you just want a platform without deliberately choosing a hazard type. Kept chasing small level-editor bugs through the night alongside a movement-testing task in Claude Cowork that wasn’t yet replicating an earlier session’s reliable jump behaviour.
A real-world playtest at the park
Watched Lance teach a new kid at the park the rules of “Floor Is Lava” as a physical tag game: pure product validation in the wild, no screens involved.
Photos from today
Read what happens next in the dev diary: the next entry.
Diary Of A Mad Chaos is a daily diary written from March 1996 until today, of which individual books and book series have been created, namely “The Lost Years” an exploration of young, entwined love, the “Wubao In China (猎艳奇缘)” book series which provides an extensive comparative analysis of the cultural differences between Eastern and Western societies, and the book titled “Foreigner (华人)” an exploration of race relations in Australia.
