I have been working on a forum site just to dabble with PHP. I’m dockerising it too to practice docker.

    I had a dream last night about some sort of fediverse overlay as a browser plug-in that you’d be logged into your home instance in the same way you’d be logged into a reddit profile using RES, but as you are browsing feeds on other activitypub networks you can one-click subscribe to have it start to appear in your home instance.

    I say this from the perspective as a new Lemmy user, copy/pasting !community@instance to my home instance search sucked when trying to browse and subscribe to so many different places to populate my feed.

    But alas, I’ve had a tiring year so far and I don’t see a break in the clouds until Q4 when at least the migration in front of me should be done.

      I’ve had similar thoughts but in my version it was just a bookmarklet you can hit and it’ll format the correct search term from your instance and load the result. We’re probably not the only ones, it’s a matter of time until someone gets chance to do it.

    Working on a Work from home horror game using Ursina engine. I really enjoy the experience developing with just text & code, no level editor, or any creature comforts. I’ve learned a ton, 1 year into my programming journey.

    I’m working on a couple things. I’m doing hobby game development and working on a Full Stack Development Certification. The hobby stuff is mostly for fun, the cert is so I can maybe get a job.

    My game project is a cutesy little farm game inspired by Slime Rancher but where the player is a novice witch in a magical forest.

    Right now, I am working on a bash script which automatically installs Artix Linux (Arch Linux without systemd) on any machine. You can choose between a basic installation which just keeps you with a running system and some necessary packages and a custom installation which contains my config files and settings. Mainly, I am doing it to practice bash and Linux, but I plan to switch from Debian to Artix and I wanted to have a script to easily reinstall my system if I brick something.

    I will most likely split this project into two in the future: an enhanced install script which lets people choose their packages and a separate script which copy my dotfiles onto the system.

    EDIT: Grammar and spelling.

    I’ve spent the last few days working on a chat window plugin for Lord of the Rings Online.

    Their API is rough and abandoned, lol

      Oh wow that’s hardcore, didn’t know people were even still making plugins for it. My experience of LotRO is 12 years of occasionally logging in to smoke pipe-weed on the roof of my hobbit house and RP selling dyes in Bree though so I’m not what you might call a power user.

        Every so often, I log in, make a new Warden character, and play for a bit. Then I get distracted by other projects and games 😁

        I’m pretty sure I have a total of over 10 Wardens at this point. That said, I really love the class. Haven’t found an (MMO)RPG that has the same Gambit system as LotRO’s Warden class. I might have to try and remedy that.

        Sad to hear the API is so rough though. Would’ve been neat to make a plugin for the game.

          This is me with Minstrel, don’t even want to know how many of the sodding things I’ve got dotted around. I often love to play healer but it’s a unique take on that role and can be either incredibly satisfying or incredibly annoying depending which instrument you’re using and what kind of repetitive noise it makes!

          Crap now I want to play LotRO instead of working.

    I’m currently messing around with a simple room booking app in rust/actix, but instead of simply using one of the existing authentication middlewares, I’ve rolled my own to learn more, and damn, has it been a fun ride learning how the borrow checker works!

    I’m working on a Discord bot that generates population density maps for servers based on the locations of server members. I don’t expect this project to be used by anyone, it’s just something to practice Typescript and SQL.

    A couple things. I got into gamedev back during lockdown and am working on what will hopefully be my first commercial game (not that I have high hopes for it, but if you release it and slap a price on there…bam…commercial game).

    And then also I’m commissioner for a fantasy football league and have been slowly building a Laravel-based platform to keep track of everything. Hall of fame, league records, I’ll have it spit out interesting statistics about the matchups each week to put in my newsletter, that sort of thing. It’d been a while since I did any PHP and even longer since touching Laravel so it’s been slow going but a lot of fun!

      That sounds great! Good luck with the game (feel free to send me a link once it’s up).

      I must dive into Laravel soon, it sounds so fun.

        I do really like Laravel but can never quite shake the ick that it gave off when it was new and the community was just the worst kind of snobby. That was about 100 versions ago though so I should probably just get over it lol

    You probably notice the other post on here, working on Melosynthos and coming up with the language design for Meta-AST. Basically making it so that it’s easy to write a new compiler.

    Writing a little password generator for learning and personal use. First cli, then adapting to tui, gui, and web. After, will either pick up my dns log analyzer project or try to write a barebones xmpp bot then client.

    I am writing a danmaku-style game in Rust & Vulkan. Didn’t test it on Windows, only on Linux and MacOS. I also wrote my custom rendering engine, just for fun. It’s very early-stage, doesn’t even have a name or proper readme…

    https://codeberg.org/raubarno/game/src/branch/https

    Note: ignore the readme, https branch is without submodules.
