Developing Rookframe: 3D VTT for any kind of TTRPG

[Artem Bokhulenkov @arte_synth]

Speedrunning my expiring codex resets - 4 worktrees, each compiles rust and stress tests the app as part of e2e. Makes laptop fans go crazy. And falling asleep with those sounds really brings up „Serial Experiments Lain“ vibe

@vivispectralOne I hope, it will manage to support more systems: I really want to try getting Call of Cthulhu running there

This week’s progress on Rookframe:
- Found a memory leak between Bevy and Bun; brought RAM consumption down from ~1 GB to ~500 MB under stress
- Dice rolling is much nicer now
- First iteration of the UI — a static dummy for now, but next comes wiring it up with the plugin system

I’m quickly refactoring the pile of code that was created in the first few days, when I was trying the “dark factory” approach with the new GPT models. That’s basically where the leak came from.

Today’s achievement: dropped the reinvented performance-measurement system and 24K lines of code. Great success =)

Next up: while the UI work progresses, I want to start working on scene management and assets — the grey grid looks boring. The biggest issue is that I need to think through content distribution, or, more plainly, how players can get updated 3D assets without having to wait an hour before a game. I hope I can find some articles…

@zaicevazaicevam Thank you! =)

@solopribuilds No hate, lol =) It is good, maybe even amazing in some contexts. I managed to use it only in brown-field projects, where the sole type of tasks that I had was - "find a bug", "design feature implementation". Boring stuff. So, hard to evaluate.

@mreiffy Gitea is very nice - self-host is quite simple. The only downside is the lack of social aspect.

@kevinpiac @vladikk wrote a great book on DDD (beats blue and red one in my personal chart) and has a great blog - really recommend

@JKoukourakis This effect always impresses me - don't see it in games enough

[Artem Bokhulenkov @arte_synth]

@shergilldotdev Happened to me couple of times - killed projects. Not with big decision, but started to work less and less on them. Thats the wrong answer though - too many things happen on the market, you never know what is going to die and what is going to fly.

@billgnofficial Based on my personal pain =)

@solopribuilds TTRPGs: Dungeons and Dragons and others like it. My friends and me can only play online, and I really don’t like all current solutions for online play

[Artem Bokhulenkov @arte_synth]

@waynoir Good luck!

@ImLunaHey Still there

@venkateshdotdev Blast radius control vs delivery speed and comfort

[Artem Bokhulenkov @arte_synth]

My app's Rust compilation finally looks and sounds right - 100% CPU consumption + laptop sounds like a jet

[Artem Bokhulenkov @arte_synth]

@samjulien Just freed 230Gb worth of worktrees =)

[Artem Bokhulenkov @arte_synth]

Wow, never thought that UI is that difficult. Always took React for granted, but holly molly
