The Gruedorfing must continue

Hm, what have I been doing that’s public?
I made a neat electron app for my desktop tray so I add passive and active functionality real quick to my desktop system
Like, it’s got a webserver that listens to my local network and can play sounds into my real-life earholes. This was very useful because I wanted to hear when my VMs hit breakpoints or builds failed and stuff like that (because I’m VERY dependent on audio triggers)
I even added a 1980’s style voice synth so it could say in a very Stephen Hawking Way “LINUX BUILD FAILED”

- It also has a bespoke hot reloader that
- auto-reloads your ‘renderer view’ if its out of date
- sends an alert() to restart if your ‘main app’ is out of date
- It also also have an
.env
monitor taht auto-spawns your electron windows (if the proper variables are set) to the dimensions specified. This was mainly because I wanted my development workflow to always auto-open the chromium developers console, and put it in a separate location from the app
I really like optimizing my workflow
So. That’s neat… But it was only a day of all this:
It’s kinda impressive I can be so consistent because I was badly ill for three of those weeks, but I do love what I’m working on
The Dorf of Gruedorf has been far more consistent with his updates, and you should go follow him over at https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@shamuspeveril/111994370166230122
You can also join the Breadbros Discord and come to the #gruedorf channel if you’re so inclined!
