AirSkyBoat VS shite

An accurate recreation of the mmorpg final fantasy 11 when it first released - emulation software (https://github.com/AirSkyBoat/AirSkyBoat) and the upcoming private server horizonxi.

We would like to welcome you to our new server, Tabula Rasa! Using https://github.com/AirSkyBoat/AirSkyBoat and https://github.com/LandSandBoat/server as a base, we have begun a new 75 cap private server project. Our project is dedicated to reproducing Final Fantasy XI as it was prior to the level cap increases with a few minor additional comforts.

I think we were either not clear enough or this was lost in translation, but all of our current developers are also apart of AirSkyBoat which is an open-source era module repository for the LandSandBoat project. You can find more information here: https://github.com/AirSkyBoat/AirSkyBoat, so our methodology whenever we want to put a new piece of content into HorizonXI we will first make an era module for it on AirSkyBoat. For instance, if we want besieged for HorizonXI we first would would develop an era module for AirSkyBoat then add any adjustments we need to do for HorizonXI on a separate repository. We want to help the era community whilst also just allowing players to experience things like it is a new game again.

Pandoc can be your friend. My site maker [1] is built around it.

I think a hundred or so well-chosen lines of your favourite scripting language can do wonders. Mine is ~300 lines of Bash because I over-engineered a thing or two for kicks. The core of it is maybe 50 lines.

The README documents the architecture and rationale. Maybe it will help you figure out yours. Happy hacking!

Bookmarked! These look like amazing study projects; the kind one can copy and learn from. Quite like how they do it in art school. Each one of them looks like it solves a nontrivial problem, and edifies the reader on the basic contours/tenets of the problem/solution space.

I love this kind of stuff, because it shows one _can_ solve a pretty juicy problem with not that much code, honestly. Also because it suggests that the industrial-strength equivalent has a lot more in for use cases, corner cases, and/or optimisations that are not relevant for one's requirements (at least not yet, maybe not ever).

I aspire to write code like that. Useful, concise, but not obtuse. Some of my code is not as significant as those examples, and maybe falls short of my ideals, but it gets a lot done in well under 500 loc. e.g. my website maker in Bash [1] (hot-builds and hot-refreshes without JS), or the JS that drives text art animations for Hanukkah of Data [2].

[1] https://github.com/adityaathalye/shite is about 350 LoC counted this way (excluding the script containing HTML templates).

  $ grep -E -v "^$|\\s?#" bin/{events,metadata,templating,utils,hotreload}.sh | wc -l

I love the code [1]. Mine [2] is a bit over engineered because I wanted hot-reloading (without JS), and it was a delightful yak shave.

But the basic idea is the same --- heredocs for templating, using a plaintext -> html compiler (pandoc in my case), an intermediate CSV for index generation.

Very nice!

xdotool emulates user actions under the X Window System (e.g. typing, mouse around, click etc.).

I'm using it to send keypresses to the browser, as you rightly observe.

So if I want to just reload a page, the browser gets F5.

To GOTO some page, it gets a stream of keystrokes for the URL characters and then Enter.

It's really that simple-minded, and it works!

This case statement covers my usage: https://github.com/adityaathalye/shite/blob/master/bin/hotre...

Pandoc powers my little static site maker:
