Live | Repository Motivation Earlier last year I was looking at various calendar applications by the standard providers (Apple, Google, Outlook etc) and realized that they handle event stacking differently. This is what they look like: Apple Apple takes the easy way out with reduced opacity to show overlaps. I can’t deduce how the ordering works here, as it’s quite mind boggling. Outlook This one is interesting, they seem to be using a tree to represent their calendar stacks. If you look at the sequence of events 1->5->2->3 they’re all of equal width. But the event #4 takes up rest of the column space, which hints at the fact that #4 has the information about whether there are more events downstream from it. ...

Live | Repository Motivation I’ve been using Bevy for a video game project and it’s been a delightful experience. As the project has grown, I’ve turned into a level designer, animator, illustrator, along with being a programmer. Sometimes I hit walls, and rabbit holes around those walls are too compelling to pass up. One such rabbit hole was building an animation state machine that could create different looping animations from a single sprite sheet. The only reason for using a single sprite-sheet is that being the dev and the illustrator is very time consuming and I wanted my workflow to remain as simple as possible. But as I’ve built a few different prototypes the single spritesheet model has proven to be quite useful. ...

JavaScript–title: “Rust for JavaScript Engineers - All a Board"date: 2025-08-23T16:50:09-07:00tags: [‘rust’, ‘game dev’, ‘WASM’]draft: falsebsky: https://bsky.app/profile/afloat.boats/post/3lx7e6wzpj224 Connect Four | Repository In the last post we looked at setting up the codebase to build Rust crates, and then importing them into a JavaScript project. By the end of the post we’d gone over a simple enum based design for each position of the Connect 4 board. In this post, I’m going to expand on how we can take that simple data structure, build out the entire grid, and then render it using HTML elements. ...
