Well, I just came out of an intensive three day hack session and it appears I made a thing:

https://bc.bodil.lol/

I'm not saying it's a gaming calculator, but it's damned useful for running the numbers in that kind of game. I guess most people scratch that itch with a spreadsheet, but my programmer brain obviously feels much more at home with a text editor and a bit of syntax, and that's what this is. A spreadsheet for nerds.

It's a pure client side web app, built on top of MathJS, so it does units, functions, trigonometry, matrices, etc out of the box, and CodeMirror, which reminds me I have to put the Emacs keymap in.

No React, no Tailwind, no slop, just carefully hand crafted browser tech and enough CSS to make you ill. Works on Firefox and Chromium and almost certainly not Safari. Please enjoy.

EDIT: I fixed it to make sure it works on Epiphany (aka GNOME Web), so fair bet it should now work on Safari too.

@bodil are the multipliers on wheat et all the amount produced after refinement plus cooking? That feels like it would reduce their efficiency

@twipped iirc, the wheat calculation is how much wheat per tile times how much bread per unit of wheat (milling is 1 to 1 so I didn't bother putting that in), over how many days to grow a tile of wheat. I'm not accounting for labour costs, this doc was primarily about space efficiency (and I doubt those would affect the overall outcome massively anyway).
