fruit-economy VS learn

Fruit Economy - itch.io | latest devlog | ghHey Everyone, For the second week in a row things have been rather crazy at work, so I've not been too upset about my disrupted plans... Most of the performance-related code changes I wanted to get done were complete on Wed [0], but there were still some annoying rendering artefacts mostly around resizing the screen and mouse movement. I could hide the mouse movement issue, but I'd rather fix it properly. It's mostly a case of not passing enough context or too much context to the memoisation. Basically, at the moment I'm re-rendering everything if anything changes on the game-state side when I really should be splitting up the re-renders to be more specific to rendering only the subset of tiles that have changed or grouping tiles into small regions and rendering stuff at a region at a time. Also, because of this, I didn't tie re-rendering to non-game-state stuff, things like resizing and mouse movement are waiting on a game tick to actually be updated. Bad on me for being lazy I guess, so that's a thing to get sorted out, but I'd like to also add in a gameplay thing, two weeks is getting dangerously close to going a month without making any gameplay improvements, which is bad. So that's definitely something I need to prioritise for next week.As always, questions welcome!- Folcon `-[0]: You can peak at stuff on github if you're interested ;)...

Apologies for how much junk is in here[0], I finally figured out notarization and then lost the will to touch it. I'm planning on circling back to clean it up in a few weeks when that entire pile of stress is a bit more of a distant memory, but hopefully it's helpful? =)...

Last June I decided to try and figure out how to make a game or bust, I didn't really care what, just that I made something, so I took part in the GMTK 2021, that went ok so I decided to try and take what I learned about focus, scoping and getting a small playable thing up and running asap and made a new project[2].

It's super rough, the gameplay is still sort of non-existent, performance is pretty bad and code quality is kind of all over the place as I'm still really trying to work out how to build stuff like this and I know if I let my dev side have too much leeway it's going to take over and I'll probably no longer be able to figure out what my creative side wants to do.

It's a fiddly balance that I'm still trying to figure out.

I've intentionally not said anything about the game itself, you're welcome to ask me for details, but there are also bits of info littered about here and there[3].

I don't have a way to find and curate audiobooks. Plus, LibGen books are already available on IPFS so all I need is collect links. I have been running https://learnawesome.org/ so books seemed far more approachable.

Fantastic! I'll have a deeper look and see if there's any opportunities for integrating this into https://learnawesome.org (which is also open-source).

I am building https://learnawesome.org

It's an attempt to organize world's knowledge. Right now, it looks like GoodReads-like social network for learning resources organized by topics, formats, difficulty levels etc. But there's a knowledge-graph that separates ideas and the medium those ideas are expressed in. For eg: "Sapiens - the book" and "TED Talk given by Yuval Harari" are connected to the same node.

This idea isn't anything new. Here is Danny Hillis talking about it at OSCON 2012: https://youtu.be/wKcZ8ozCah0

https://github.com/learn-awesome/learn for example

Perhaps https://learnawesome.org/.

I have been dealing with the same problem for curating resources at https://learnawesome.org. Projects like Openlibrary do collect unique identifiers for _books_, but for everything else, it mostly takes manual effort. For example, I collect talks/podcasts by the author where they discuss ideas from their books. Then there are summaries written by others.

This is a fantastic effort! Kudos :-)

I have been collecting learning resources and their reviews by experts at https://learnawesome.org/ (open-source, built with Ruby on Rails and TailwindCSS). Would you be kind enough to share the raw JSON files for their books?

LearnAwesome has its own topic taxonomy so it will still require tagging topics manually, but it can save me some effort on scraping/parsing LSE/Nature sites.

I have been adding a number of these free books at https://learnawesome.org/

Do you really care about the format being PDF or is it about the books being FREE? I'd like to make common queries like yours easier. LearnAwesome is open-source, so of course you're free to contribute: https://github.com/learn-awesome/learn
