https://duckville.town You play a duck in a small shared town. You pick a job, pay rent, post on a Twitter-style feed, vote in local elections. The simulation keeps running when you close the tab. No PvP, no loot boxes, no combat. Playtime is a few minutes a day by design.
I really want a 2d world so I can see everything going on in the game. Even a static map would help visualize what the game is about.
I’ll probably go further and include things like Apple Weather support[1], and Plex, YouTube, and Kagi search, if I have the time.
[1]: Because in Home Assistant you can only ask about the weather in the location you have configured, not in other locations. At least that’s how it works here at home.
I also bought some steel table legs and rebuilt our kitchen table and bench yesterday. The table came with wooden legs that always seemed unstable, I would confidently stand on my table now.
Gnoseed.com - https://gnoseed.com flashcards for learning. I like to learn the topics in a way the aws certification was done. I started with kubernetes topics and slowly adding more (docker atm). It's free to use, no registration. You can check and give me a feedback of you want.
One of the very first pieces of code I wrote when I was figuring out if I liked development was a flashcard program to help me study in college. I really wish I still had that code.

I love it! I signed up to be the groundskeeper. I really want a 2d world so I can see everything going on in the game. Even a static map would help visualize what the game is about.
How can I make it better? I'd be happy to hear your feedback.
It's a lot of fun
The most novel thing about it (besides the breadboard being a central component) is probably eschewing panel meters or oscilloscopes and using an ESP32 and LCD display (and a bit of digital code) to display the various voltages/values that you connect up to it.
Kind of an open, learning platform to satisfy my curiosity about what analog computing was all about. It succeeded.
This month I am putting together a couple of dozen kits, preparing some YouTube videos, and generally trying to roll it out by July. (Still more modules could be built for it though—a log/anti-log module would be nice, sine/cosine is not out of the question… It's open, so perhaps someone else will create these or other modules. Or maybe I'll come back to it this Winter and add a few of those.)
Just a little example here, wired up (programmed) for Lotka-Volterra simulation (only a few dozen wires of code!). It's using a kind of strip-chart mode programmed on the ESP32 to display the voltage inputs representing predator and prey populations:
