Bro have you looked into DeepSeek?

setup, maybe I missed something simple, way way simple. The webview aspect is often frowned upon for this ease of use (and security vulnerabilities), it can't be that complicated . And the answer was to allow access from file URLs in the android code. That was it. Thanks for listening to my story.

the most complex solution to this simple problem, run a webserver inside the app that fetches game data from a folder, the struggle continues, after 4 hours when I finally get to the point of getting the game working, I realize, wait a minute, I can't expect to ship a game with this much complicated

the neko VM, which runs flixel projects for web was deprecated, which is the entire reason I started this, so at this point I'm thinking, maybe just set up a webview. But the webview isn't working! JavaScript is on, yet the game isn't running, stuck at the index.html. I instantly start thinking of

Good start, but few hours in I start wondering, the entire setup is way too slow, how do people work with this? As much as I loved working on setting up the new project, my mind kept trying to nudging me that the entire point of this adventure is to make this old game accessible, just maintenance.

Have you tried the open source alternative: Unciv?

This is brilliant.

That would have to be a bit too broad to be a standard. I am familiar with a few JavaScript ones good for game jam projects, but even for that as a dev I'd prefer to build up complexity one step at a time rather than use a standard.

Honestly google form should be the easiest, using app script or the form api in an HTML is another way to go.

wonder what ai prompt would get us, asking it to act like rust cohle

but other players/characters might try to invade your farm so you try to set fences, then traps, then turn the entire place into a dungeon, and before you know it you become the dungeon keeper demon lord.

office tools of present day can do way way more. Even for then those were highly optimised and made to run specifically for dos. Present day ones need to support multiple os, so use cross platform stuff like Cairo, has python embedded, can literally run videos and whatnot, size gets huge thus

Everyone: Nostalgic for the game Me: Cool setup, CRT monitor and that keyboard, nice!

Maybe dont connect to the internet with windows xp on the machine. (Anytime I see someones old computer my mind goes: which Linux distro would be the best for this ..)
comment in response to post
haha, that goes for most of the popular tool products made today, but something with a free license like libre office ... makes me feel bad about being too lazy to look into it see if I can optimise something using better libraries we have today.

Also when you are making the art, music, Foley yourself, there's this pride element to the project that it comprises all of your artistic effort. Putting it all up and still have a marketable game, tough stuff.

I need space, I have no control, I can't find an escape .... definitely time for a new keyboard.

This is a question I have had for years, what separates .docx from .txt enough to need that kind of memory. Rich text editing itself shouldn't be that much demanding ... (of course this is coming from a naive perspective, no idea how something like libreoffice works).

anytime my friends were throwing away cardboard boxes i'd bring them home to build new structures for my cats to hide into.

Nice! these are very eye catching.

This isn't much of an art but it's something I drew.
