I just used Google to search "zangoose github" and one of your github.io sites popped up.
That's how I found your github.

Oh, how many times have I wished for a pointer to just null itself.
This one, depending upon how it gets implemented, should be a really good one.

Imagine if there was a hack so bad that it caused everyone to become unable to develop in C and C++.

Well, there is one that will imply you can only develop using anything that you have bootstrapped yourself, using hardware that you have designed and manufactured yourself, using tools that you have designed and manufactured yourself, using tools that you have designed and manufactured yourself ...

... with your own bare hands.

Nice. Now just if you could make it more physics'y. As in, make it go faster when it falls downwards and make it look like it is putting in extra effort, in cases it is going upwards, higher than what momentum would take it.

If you feel like doing this, I'd suggest using parameters for:

gravity
momentum
friction, so just reduce momentum based on traveled distance
minimum speed, to make sure it keeps going and that will look like it is using its motors to keep running

And then perhaps, they will mistake a football with bald-head DNA.

Well, it does have triggers for other branches:

on:
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "main" ]

So, most probably would have a way to run it on other branches.

In my last workplace, I was responsible for making whatever automation I wanted (others just did everything manually) and I just appended a bunch of bash scripts to the Qt Creator Build and Run commands. It easily worked pretty well.
I guess the fancy systems are again, just to add another layer of abstraction, when everything is running on their containers instead of ours.

In those cases, I just use amend.

It's a new website afterall, nobody is pulling that.

I’ve been meaning on spending a morning getting Nektos/ACT running.

I was just going to say I need to find a way to run it all on my system to learn it. If this can do it without actually having to push to GitHub, it would be really good for practice.
