thanks 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

@sun I just do that without AI already ^^
the reason I don't put out much is I then end up with brainworms going "you can make this polished and useful to not just yourself" and then get stuck in the muck
but the smol one-offs I make very regularly, I just don't publish them :0

@sun I've been putting the more fleshed out apps I've been producing on gitlab

@AWIVR bookmarked, thanks
@toast that's great! I just find I can belt out personal apps that I don't feel obligated to polish also, which is great.
@sun
That's one of my next projects too. Create language learning apps for myself. Gotta clear the slate of all the other side projects first though.

@toiletpaper totally worth it, do iit
@sun Bro Team turned his into a pajeet.
@sun Can it make video games? Someone should make a Vampire Survivors-like but it's Contra.
@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 but to answer your question, "kind of". with a lot of hand holding it can do some stuff.
@sun Making a game might be good for fabulous cash and prizes!
@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.
@sun just curious, what does it do extra compared to e.g. Anki?
@sun AI doubles how far away you are from the center of the bell curve. Whichever side you're on.
@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 what is it written in ? webslop or some desktop toolkit?
@sun We would put out awesome games (only the primest slop).
@meeper vanilla high quality html+js+css on the frontend, no deps. elixir on the backend
@meeper I'll release it when its ready
I literally just want something that works exactly and as easily like espeak but with reasonable ai tts
Thanks will probably steal and fork

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 @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.

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.
