What programming/technical projects have you been working on?
This is a recurring post to discuss programming or other technical projects that we've been working on. Tell us about one of your recent projects, either at work or personal projects. What's interesting about it? Are you having trouble with anything?
I've been making an ear training tool that's close to its first release. (source on GitHub) It supports Web MIDI and it's made with Svelte and SvelteKit. There's also a basic virtual piano.
The gameplay is simple - it plays a sequence of notes and then has the player play it back. If the sequence is two notes long, it trains individual intervals, and at longer sequences you get a combination of relative pitch and memory training. Currently a piano is the only input.
I just finished the basic features and I need to add the initial training challenges. The challenges it has right now are a quick proof of concept, and I'm not a musician so I'll need help to fill out the content. It's designed so that you can create custom challenges for your needs, and then share them if you want. Right now, sharing data means importing/exporting JSON that defines challenges and groups of challenges. There's no server behind it, it's just static files. After I spend more time with it, it might become clear how the challenges should be grouped, but right now it seems really open ended and subjective.
I love tile placement games. Yours looks really nice! I love the art style. It reminds me of another strategic placement game, ISLANDERS.
What's the premise of yours? Is it just find what fits where, or is there some other strategy mechanics to it?
Cool. I can't wait to give it a try some day. :)
I recently bought my first ever plant, a Dieffenbachia, and decided to track its growth using Julia and its Plots library. I've now realized that Julia's a bit overkill for such small plots/projects, but I'm thinking of diving deeper into the Julia ecosystem and even deeper into the world of plants as this has been an extremely fulfilling experience.
I look forward to bringing home more and more plants and keeping track of their growth (and maybe some other metrics I haven't thought of yet, suggestions are appreciated).
