What if writing code was as simple as talking to your device?

Watch my GPT-4 voice assistant:
- take in a complex coding task
- write the code
- create a PR on my GitHub repo

All I had to do was tell it what to do.

This is the future of software.

With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/

Over the weekend I worked a little more on character creation and UI.

The UI system is starting to get quite flexible and putting screens together is relatively quick now, with support for events, tooltips, text wrapping and colour.
