snecs VS steamsky

I tried to use Snecs but its type-hinting was not robust enough for VSCode's Pylance. I had to throw it out and make my own simplified version of ECS. I can add single arbitrary components to entity objects but I don't have a global registry for them. Which is too bad since the global registry is a useful and important part of ECS.

I've been closely looking at the Python ECS libraries Snecs and Esper. I was hoping I could use one of them to fix the Python tutorial without making the tutorial about writing an entity-component engine. What I actually want would be a Python ECS library with NumPy for static types, but a library I did find for that didn't have a good enough license for a tutorial. For now I'll be okay with dynamic types just so I can fix my current problems, and I'll think about performance some other time.

And standard weekly report. In the stable version, a real standard. No new bugs found this week, still one which I can't reproduce awaits for help.

The stable version is under control if we speak about the work. At least for now. :) I found two more bugs and fixed them. There is still one issue, but I can't reproduce it. It looks like something rare happened: or the downloaded game has corrupted files, or maybe antivirus was checking one of the files. Any help there would be nice. Anyway, for now, in around 24 hours since the post, the new more stable version of the game will be available for download.

Still nothing to report in the stable version. But I have some things to check there. I also checked one old report about problems with lagging keys on Windows, and it looks good for me. If someone could check it too, and inform me about the result, it would be very nice. :)

And probably the most important information about the development version: because since last release  4 weeks has passed, time for another development release :) In around 24 hours since this post a new, shiny, buggy, development version will be available to download on GitHub, itch.io and Game Jolt.
