Week 16
20 April 2025
This week I managed to get most of forma to compile on windows. I also realized that smide might need a php-like code generator instead of the current mustache-based generator.

Week 15

This week I realy didn’t do much. I added a few things to smide. Next week is easter and I hope I both will have the time and be motivated enough to get out of this slump
Week 14

This week I also didn’t really do much. I started a new project, smide, focusing on code generation and that’s about all I did this week.

2023 in review
6 January 2024
Another year full of devlogs and another review of what I have achieved and failed to achieve.
workbench, euphoria, gaf and json
Workbench started out as a repo of various build scripts, but is now a single tool for running all those “scripts”. This year I ported everything from rust to c# and scoured my repos for other tools to integrate it into the code base.
One of the big reasons for choosing C# is so that I can use the spectre project to get a nicer cli. The other big reason is that I use c# as a language for work so I’m very familiar with it. I can also use resharper to clean up the code and do major refactorings, that wasn’t really possible with the rust or the python version.
Check Your Assumptions
22 April 2023
In November of last year I noticed that the time it took to process inputs in Ride was way too high, almost a full second between each key input and for a text editor that’s unbearable. I tried to tweak the event handling but nothing helped and lost motivation, put the project on ice and started working on other things.
About 3 weeks ago the motivation came back and I started hacking and refactoring on the code to support multiple “backends” for rendering and handling input. Currently it’s using OpenGL but I previously had both a wxWidgets and a software renderer backend so it was “only” a matter of bringing them back from the depths of the git history.
2022 in review
1 January 2023
I recently realized that I’ve been writing my devlog since 2017 but I have never compiled all the devblogs into a longer post starting from today. I’ll summarize and write a smallish review of what I’ve done on all my hobby projects the past year.
Euphoria
Euphoria is my hobby game engine and to much surprise I did a couple of cool things related to it.
Code wise I’ve continued to code cleanup (replacing streams with fmt), both warnings and enabled warning-as-errors(with w4/Wall+extra), I also added both a clang-tidy and coverage step on github actions so I can keep the code clean and strive towards a 100% coverage for the core. Added a PCH cut the compilation time by roughly 66%.
