Lightning Talks (Sunday)
summary
Seven-minute demos report real outcomes: an Ultima 4 → Lua Anti/MineTest import that writes 16×16 block chunks and generates rounded rivers; a community launch for Python Australia with Discord and meetings; phonetic alphabet use cases (VINs, radio) and the NATO words; game-dev techniques that reduce a weeklong spatial report to ~30 minutes using NumPy, streaming and compression; Marimo notebooks as plain-Python cells (marimo.app, marimo.io); type-checker bugs around __add__/__radd__/__iadd__ semantics; a solar monitor built with USB, SQLite, Flask and Discord; and a ZX Spectrum‑audio logo that decodes to a tiny BASIC program.
