Short blog post on using Orca as a new Odin target! https://odin-lang.org/news/orca-odin/

Here is how to open a window

package src

main :: proc() {}

midi input and piano preview -playthrough also highlights the piano notes

Short video on the tabulation project im doing & shows a bit of editing with some more notes.
Been a really fun project so far

fretboard preview on the tab editor/player (starts at 0) 🎶 showing off my own version of "css" but in ini, including colors, cut presets, editor options and element styles

Little Guitar Tab player/editor im doing for transcribing my own stuff, the ones played are not mine tho 😛

having fun with orca and hexagons

Playing around with Orca UI animations 🔥

more rectcut "microui" fun - cut_mapping is the "file format" i had shown previously which changes the cutting properties used throughout the UI

simple format to customize rect-cut layouting parameters - linked to a string name. easy to lookup through a map in code and makes imgui code a bit cleaner (ignore the code in the top-left, its just experimenting)

heres the thing so far:

// following format is used
UNIQUE_NAME DIRECTION px/unit margin gap

// DIRECTION SHORTNAMES SET "LRTBFVH?"
L = LEFT CUT
R = RIGHT CUT
T = TOP CUT
B = BOTTOM CUT 
F = FILL FROM REMAINDER
V = LEFT CUT 50/50 or custom range
H = TOP CUT 50/50 or custom range
? = UNUSED

been implementing :rxi: 's cached renderer but with compute (&sdf) instead of software rendering. Efficient & Fast!

(M)SDF atlas exporting + json output 🎉

vector -> (M)SDF generator tool 🧐

been working on compute vector graphics rendering in OpenGL for a while now ~ its finally stable enough to show off.
the text is rendered using line/quadratic curves directly from the font
its based off of @ forkingpath metal implementation of the MPVG paper https://w3.impa.br/~diego/projects/GanEtAl14/

trying out links & tags 🎨 &todool

more work on the &todool multiplayer - switched to a CRDT like state based solution
the host only forwards messages to other clients and distributes client IDs

sending user data across clients &todool

giving &todool "multiplayer" an attempt again - 3 clients all sharing undo/redo state across the server

FPS cap to not burn the CPU/GPU 🔥 &todool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4Xd59kzouI did a devlog on my IMGUI -> RMGUI transition, hoping to do these weekly 🙂 &todool

joining the RMGUI squad 🔥 &todool

more versatile copy & paste &todool

Task children sorting options and per parent sort locking 🔥 &todool

task dragging 🔥 drag outside the window or to the trash area to remove the task &todool

multi select tasks with the mouse while holding shift 🎉 &todool also using vulkan now instead of GL

https://skytrias.substack.com/p/variable-font-sizes-using-storage short post on how to easily support variable font sizes with storage buffers &todool

tasks can have dates set + agenda mode to get an overview of each day &todool

optimized global utf8 textbox, cut, copy & paste, topbar to select focus tree &todool

mouse caret selection & a progress bar in kanban mode 🎉 &todool

auto centering x / y based on render mode & more work on text boxes &todool

proper text boxes & caret selections &todool

more polishing on kanban boards &todool

kanban view is back 🎉 &todool

2 instances of &todool sharing subtrees with each other over http 🔥 commit a tree -> other user can sync back to the recent tree or push his own optionally you can submit a read only tree

tag editing + jumping &todool

color setting bar - modifies a line / selection by default when Apply is on or via command, can be used on other elements like tag colors 🎨 &todool

selections + toggle state 🔥 &todool

reworked &todool recently to text lines + additional data 🎉 making my life simpler to implement more meaningful features
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT5d28Iv9I8

adding small animations &todool

testing out more automation - leave your thoughts &todool

reimplemented a cool feature i had a while ago &todool 🎉

• right mouse dragging task upwards / downards pops the task and its children out - place it in the trashbin or near another line
• right mouse dragging task left <-> right shifts their indentation

first day working fulltime on &todool 🎉

added a pomodoro tree today with a couple of looping options

• work, short_break, long_break as editable timer nodes
• looping can be ignored or turned on
• repeat_count is the limit until the long_break starts
• timer durations can be added to a line ~ still gotta flesh this out
• break times can be included if you want them to count in as work time

testing out deadlines &todool

transitioned &todool to fully use RectCut imgui 🔥 its really nice, thanks goes out to rxi for suggesting it 😄

working on time related features -> Stopwatch & Timer ⏲️ &todool

made a prompt to spawn different sub node types instead of having to remember multiple commands 🔥 &todool

task color outlining 🎨 when you want to highlight certain regions visually, often found in kanban &todool

changing colors via the mouse &todool

proper mouse selection, horizontal auto scrolling and a relayouting bug in the end :BestPractice: &todool

auto generate a changelog 🔥 &todool

custom tags 🔥 &todool

working on visuals &todool

cut & paste - now you can actually make use of import from code 💪

implemented search, you can switch between parent scoped search and global document one

works on folders now, optimized comment lookup speed, not going to support multiline strings for now

sorry for the big upload import supports multi line comment queries now 🎉 someone suggested using this on the linux source ~ keep in mind this is single threaded 😅

trying out import from code where tags like // TODO can be extracted easily, what do you guys think?

more goto polishing

/spam added goto & its own keymap

added keymap table'ish layouting back and split things up a bit 🔥

shift up / down implemented back with undo / redo

found a nice way to change states without having to interact with the text 😮

too much animation? 😄

command based undo history using a ring buffer for a limited size (i.e. 20 for testing)

todool is getting a makeover, using flat arrays + handles, data belonging to the tree, roots like options, theme, keymap are used directly

loading globals / specific view data with ease 🔥

Posted a blog ~5 min read on my exploration in saving todool data https://todool.handmade.network/blog/p/8175-de___serialization_exploration

worked on a new de/serilization format for todool

• ~50% smaller in size (binary)
• read / write directly to tree
• mem copying instead of text conversion
• backwards compatible & extendible

repositioning + anchors done

position + simulate mode 🔥 showing hover animation... triggered when hovering 😛

animation 🔥

handmade ui: small texture drawer, next up is animation, different textures per element state

been exploring file formats / sql lately, implemented msgpack and am using it for a single table db i plan to use for my main structs in todool 🔥 in the vid you can see a small viewer i built, pretty much just table info + its columns with type slices

wondering how task deletion should be handled:

1. allowed, other selections will automatically jump out
2. disallowed, cant be deleted

custom renderer + WYSIWYG style copy of the selected tree

back after a break, recording time can be allowed only during pomodoro (Work) run, adds time spent to a task (and its children)

table movement is dope now - made the shortcut calls tree a table for easier call picking

real table layouting & pomodoro timer 🎉

date node 🎉 really wanted this for changelogs 😛 tab toggles between modes

task pointer (visual) fixes + basic mouse support

reworked search, has its own keymap now and stupid profiler expanding 😛 also have my own server for discussion and more spam previews https://discord.gg/UZaXnYaHWA

nothing crazy ~ key commands which shortcut early will be notified to the user by turning the cursor red

worked on splits, tasks can be focused in their own splits, should fold levels be view / split independant?

task lerps, cut tree, basic multi editing of same words (not sure if its useful)

todool is now using vectorized rendering thanks to nanovg 💯 also tried out special string storage like trie, radix / suffix trees - conclusion is they're shitty to deal with and i dont think it's worth the effort

search works great now, word highlight, better fuzzing, parent based and works anywhere

search - cursor jumps to the search branch, one text box updates results, results are pointers to other nodes

indent guide (green), color picker is back, task states, simpler save file based on indentation amount (only saves selected / mark when inside Todool tree)

screw floaty windows - just a simple tree of all nodes - no bs. next up is v / h splits, more visual work, fixes and actual task oriented mechanisms again 😄

color picker pops up when pressing on colors - color wheel moveable via w a s d, mouse xy and int text values, same with the hue slider

keyboard shortcuts: editing keys is simple text input - editing calls (enum) is done in another tree

easy undo redo on any sub node type and (4coder like) mark jumping

zordering root tasks, more usability when tab / shift tabbing through values like excel, float and int edit nodes

theme editing in the same node system - instead of completly seperate ui systems, will do all ui this way 😄

alt left / right node magic

column jumping similar to non monospace editors - still some odd cases to fix

ported todool fully to seperate server / client setup, server only sends out draw commands to each client, data lives on the server side only. this way its really easy to add drawing calls about other users

user mouse is shared, trying out some highlight rectangles where you can point at things. at the end it bugs out a bit and goes out of sync 😓 this stuff is difficult to get right

auto align tasks based on state change, when wanted 😛

getting my old mouse support back in, normal left click = cursor movement, ctrl click = fold task, shift click = drag task also in the end i show the menu for changing task state that im going to work on next 😄

it just works ™️

lerping between modes

simple folding, via ui / key command, error message if failed. was pretty easy, just disable children to be drawn when folded, thankfully its not plain text 🙃

command prompt & theme editor

preview of my project and some behind the scenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YPpeFYuer0

auto scroll when something:

• draw mode is changed
• task selection changes (move up or down) and out of sight doesnt look perfect yet but its usable on small windows now 😄

fleshing out my concept switching draw modes to kanban overview with the same interaction - same data, any ideas on other draw modes? 😄

stuff is coming along nicely, im focusing more on mouse interaction this time. i liked the panning in dion so i made it in todool 😄 also check out odin above, todool is made with it haha

undo / redo editing history in todool - takes 4 lines 😛

worked quite a bit on todool:

• heavy left / right / middle mouse button support added
• multiple views possible into the same file
• consistent undo / redo across views
• undo / redo shows amount of undo / redo
• all actions can be held down now like undo / redo, delete etc
• clipping stuff like text now
• kb preview of undo buffer (saving the entire array now which is kinda wasteful)
• capping fps now cuz it was a pain trying to get it working

took a break this week, back on track again working on todool - got some simple animation done for ui, mouse integration, reworked all of the magnet ui api to be much simpler - stuff like the undo / redo ui was super simple to do. dont mind the text glitches

been working on custom ui for todool based on magnets that link to other ui elements via placement directions. very simple but effective for the way i usually create ui 🙂 also got nice automatic keyboard navigation working based on the closest ui element in the arrow direction in 180°

todool color picker for custom themes - all done via :rxi: cached software rendering

todool now has the undo / redo system from :rxi: - its super simple but powerful - go read his blogs 🙂

todool is my now semi serious project, worked on the cached software renderer that :rxi: also uses and its awesome - minimal cpu usage / no gpu usage at all, no unnecessary redrawing. if anyone wants to test it, msg me 🙂

bit more juice, made the window sizes adjust to the amount of (sub) topics there are. love it ❤️

made my own todo app, cuz i got sick of having thousands of todo files around. i want to quickly edit topics with info and be able to focus on the matter, any ideas for improvements?

experimenting with different console / immediate mode ui control interaction, now has fuzzy matching ```c if (ui_begin()) { if (ui_button("right")) { rect_x += 10; } if (ui_button("left")) { rect_x -= 10; } ui_checkbox("change", &change); ui_checkbox("red", &red_background); ui_slider("rect_x", &rect_x, 0, 250); ui_slider("rect_x", &rect_x_other, 250, 500 - rect_width); ui_slider("rect_width", &rect_width, 50, 250 - rect_width); ui_slider("ui_y", &ui_y, 0, 500 - 50); ui_end(0, ui_y, 500, 50); }

lite custom todo file rendering, kinda what i did in 4coder

AI start and visualization of the move AI state, pausing helps understanding what the AI determined

Not entirely handmade but here's what i've been working on for about a month in rust, its tetris attack like and i've been working on ai for the first time. about a week into ai and i've probably tried thousand ways to make my life easier 🙃

not as cool as the others but heres a puzzle game im making in odin and rewrote the rendering today. not sure if i should release the source code
