I wrote a collection of game development libraries: graphics, keyboard, mouse, ECS, timing, entity pool. And making an actual tiny game instead of a series of toy demos is what I need to make sure they are good to go. Toy demos don’t capture real usage or integration with other libraries very well. The current demo game is a character on a 2d tilemap where you have to dig the ground until you find the treasure.

I toured the local facility here. It is called 100 Acres. I buy their product at my local Kroger and Outpost. Fresh just means not processed in a grocery story. However it still can be shipped on a truck, frozen on a cargo ship, stored in a warehouse, etc… So by the time it gets to you, you only have sometimes a few days to eat it before it goes bad. I can hold onto my hydroponic lettuce for weeks; It sometimes feels strange.

If I remember right, it is the Fox Valley area that has some greenhouse farming. Sometimes you see the posts pop up about lights at night and someone wondering what it is.

I don’t know if you’ve looked into what they’re doing over in Netherlands. They do green house and hydroponic farming on a massive scale. It is incredible to see how many tomatoes that tiny country produces and exports.

Proving it out either verifies that the libraries I created are correct and useful or need to be reworked or improved. The Timer class I created for example needed to be improved so that I could create a frame independent gameloop. But now I have the Timer I need. The ECS and Keyboard input so far have been going swell. The Graphics have been okay, but not sure how to improve it yet. And I haven’t incorporated Mouse into my test game yet.

Sounds like quite the experimentation and operation!

I buy hydroponically and locally grown lettuce here in Milwaukee. It tastes better and lasts longer.

I have been proving out a game dev library i made. I make about a small feature on the test game every few days. Going well, but i want to get to at least 1 feature a day if not 2.

Can you tell me more about your hydroponic goals and set up?

A vegan bakery is opening down the street from me.

With DuckDuckGo around it is hard to justify paying for Kagi personally.

I wonder if a federated system could work for this. Moderation and hosting are really tough.

GrapheneOS’ really slow installs is because of its hardening I believe.

Cries in GrapheneOS’ slow application installs and updates.

Community land (especially farm land) has been pillaged by corporations and private interest already.

Aren’t screens for the driver considered a bad idea?

5-8 hours depending on if I had afternoon caffeine or not. I think I like 7 hours, but it has been a while since I’ve kept track of sleep quality.

Yes! Thank you.

Haven’t verified it, but I was under the impression run in background would forward notifications.

I checked out Slint and immediately closed out when I saw a pricing page. Some software is worth paying for, but a GUI library for me isn’t one of them. A community can usually keep a GUI library going because it doesn’t change a lot after it matures.
