TipaGot all the YAML for #SwordForHire converted to Lua and basic navigation is in. Still playing with UI ideas. Still, decent progress for a few hours work.

First day of porting #SwordForHire to #Picotron is going well. It's good that I have all this Python code, and ChatGPT is not doing a bad job of porting it to Lua. Inventory works, kinda, but we'll build that out.
And so it begins... #SwordForHire #Picotron. Everything about this will change, I was just sketching out a UI idea before bed last night.
Malifaux: Preparing for 4th Edition
I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to get a mostly new crew ready for 4th edition...

You know what my game's intro screen needs? Terminal based ray tracing. It just staggers me that nobody has made a curses-based ray tracing engine with dynamic lighting before.
After work, going to add particle effects. Why am I the first to do this?
There ARE NOT the final graphics, this is just a proof of concept.
I Know What I Did Last Weekend (April edition)
Blue Prince, Monster Hunter Wilds, Sword for Hire news, some new boardgames, something new coming for Malifaux, and probably more...

Refactoring the game to have a supervisor process handle the progression from main menu to character selection/creation to town level to adventure, and thought I would finally get a banner screen up. No, this was not done with AI. It was done with https://www.asciiart.eu/text-to-ascii-art.
I Know What I Did Last Weekend
Arcade Paradise, A Dark Room, Pokemon TCG Pocket, Frosthaven and an update on Sword for Hire. LOTS O' STUFF.

Working on rewriting the character creation for Sword for Hire. The main adventure depends on the Curses termcap library, but there's no reason for the character creation and town map to be limited like that. This uses the Textual UI package, which tries to emulate a web page in ASCII. #TunnelsAndTrolls #Textual #SwordForHire
