I miss playing with #p5js. Last thing I made was this Maurer Rose version in Feb 2025. Maybe it's time to come back to it. #creativecoding

I started with a much faster version, but didn't like it. Maybe if I try to slow it down at the end, as you said, I can make it work. And yeah, I feel like I'm missing something at the end that says "this is the number you got!" — thanks!

ralfo @heyralfo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

It's a nice idea, indeed. But I would like to keep the "rolling dice" experience, since it's an RPG app. Also, there are other use cases where there won't be an explicit table with those values

I am trying to keep this animation simple, but I am not 100% happy with the current result. Looking for that small thing that will truly change it. #buildinpublic #indiedev #rpg

Days spent building trivial UI just to finally get to the fun part: start implementing the game mechanics 🤓 #buildinpublic

I am new to at proto, so currently both, haha. But indeed using Zod will be nice to handle soft-fails. I appreciate the tip!

ralfo @heyralfo.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

But do you mean the validation before writing, or after reading?

Love when friends solve my daily puzzle and share their results with me. If building a game is nice, seeing your friends play it is even better! Play it here: playloop.today #indiedev #buildinpublic

ralfo @heyralfo.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I considered Zod at first, but it sounded like overkill for my needs. I am currently using just a plain function, and it is working very well. My schema is quite simple. When things start to get more complicated, Zod will be my first option

Local-first was the right call for validating the data models. I've already lost the count of how many times I've changed the original schema idea just from the first form I built. #ATProtocol #BuildInPublic #IndieDev

ralfo @heyralfo.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I've decided to reduce the scope of my app. At first, it will be an engine for Dominus, a Brazilian RPG system. #buildinpublic #dominus #rpg

ralfo @heyralfo.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Would it make sense to build the app around local storage first, just to validate the Lexicon and data model before committing to AT Protocol? Mostly trying not to create junk data (or spend money on a domain) before I know the idea actually works 😅 #ATProtocol #BuildInPublic #IndieDev

I kind of decided to build an app for solo RPG quests. Seems like a nice opportunity to try AT Protocol for the first time. #buildinpublic

I added a variant with a 20% chance of happening: a tile marked with a star can appear. Loop #30 is the first puzzle with that tile (and by far my worst score, haha)

So far more people have solved today’s puzzle at par than above par. It seems that there really are arrangements that are easier to solve than others. Cool haha

There's nothing wrong with being wrong, haha. Science is made of that. Even wrong proofs or assumption contribute to build science, that's what makes it wonderful

Thanks! Tbh you're the first one to interact with one of my sharing posts, haha. I added the board mostly for fun, but I'm actually into stepping back and trying a more minimalist version of it :)
