Blurry Moonthanks to ai I'm writing one-off programs to scratch any itch I have. I created a complete spaced-repetition japanese app that does exactly how I want it to work. ai is literally a liberatory brain expanding technology if you use it correctly, instead of one-shotting yourself with genai porn or believing it's your girlfriend
@thomasroiloup I am learning how to animate sprites with it which was a critical thing I was missing. I have artist friends but they're all too busy to work on low paying slop
@thomasroiloup I am investigating what it would take to make a slop game factory. I don't know what everyone could potentially do but I will need help at some point.
@grips it sort of copies anki but it makes it easier to enter cards in various ways. simple answer, I kind of hate anki it's really janky and I like mine better.
@sun@thomasroiloup I've been on-and-off slopping together a game engine throughout the year. There's a variety of reasons I'm going as slow as I mean, least of which is how low-level I've been doing everything, but my assumption has remained that if you have a decent foundational engine that has a veil of separation between game and engine code, you can be off to the races building games on top of that. (One of the classic blunders, no less.) If you had "a harness" and "API access" and just let the basilisk go at it, I'm sure you could trim down the four-ish months I've been working down into like a couple weeks of fruitful work.
@sun I've finally wrapped VSCode in a container and will be doing more in-depth testing with it's limitations soon. This will *not* be deleting any databases and backups anytime soon.
@sun Better than my idea!! I cobbled together a D&D hexcrawl generator which makes a map, creates towns, of varying sizes with routes between, creates NPCs, treasure tables, hirelings, rumor generator, monsters, weather and encounters.
Totally useless to anyone but me and does nothing of any real value when I should be doing stuff like language language learning or working.
