De acordo com o Ben Robbins (autor de Microscope), as scenes em Microscope sofrem de alguns problemas. Ele recentemente também propôs algumas mudanças às regras para aliviar esses problemas (https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/3449/a-microscope-for-the-people/).

Alguém aqui já tentou jogar com essas novas regras? Com que impressão ficaram? Também fizeram alguma mudança às scenes ditadas (o post no blogue parece só estar a falar de scenes atuadas)?

Acho que isto também é uma boa oportunidade para darem a vossa opinião acerca do estado atual das scenes em Microscope

Ben Robbins (the creator of Microscope RPG) has laid out a few problems they see in the current state of scenes and recently some ideas to tackle those perceived problems (https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/3449/a-microscope-for-the-people/).

Has anyone tried these yet? How did these changes affect gameplay? Did you like the effect of those changes? And did you make any changes to dictated scenes (I'm asking this because the blog post seems to be mostly focused on acted scenes)?

This is also an opportunity to give your thoughts on the current state of scenes and what could be changed.

(I hope discussion about a specific game is allowed in this community)

I finished reading the Kotlin documentation (§Concepts) and want to do something now. I was thinking about making a desktop app with a GUI. For that people seem to recommend Jetbrains Compose.

It seems however that the guides (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/compose-multiplatform-create-first-app.html) to set up such a project assume I have more than one target. I however don't and thus don't need to divide my project into common code, ios code, wasm code, etc. I only need to compile my project for the JVM, since I'm only intending to support Linux and BSD. I don't have much experience with the Java/Kotlin-centric build systems and I would like to avoid investing too much time into it (since for now I would like to spend more time writing that app, preferring to learn Gradle later in my journey), so I thought about just generating a template as recommended by the guides (using https://kmp.jetbrains.com/) and to just remove everything that doesn't matter for my project. However, since I don't have much experience with Gradle yet, I don't know what exactly the changes are that I need to make to the build script

Generated code

import org.jetbrains.compose.desktop.application.dsl.TargetFormat

plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlinMultiplatform)
    alias(libs.plugins.jetbrainsCompose)
    alias(libs.plugins.compose.compiler)
}

kotlin {
    jvm("desktop")
    
    sourceSets {
        val desktopMain by getting
        
        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation(compose.runtime)
            implementation(compose.foundation)
            implementation(compose.material)
            implementation(compose.ui)
            implementation(compose.components.resources)
            implementation(compose.components.uiToolingPreview)
            implementation(libs.androidx.lifecycle.viewmodel)
            implementation(libs.androidx.lifecycle.runtime.compose)
        }
        desktopMain.dependencies {
            implementation(compose.desktop.currentOs)
            implementation(libs.kotlinx.coroutines.swing)
        }
    }
}


compose.desktop {
    application {
        mainClass = "org.example.project.MainKt"

        nativeDistributions {
            targetFormats(TargetFormat.Dmg, TargetFormat.Msi, TargetFormat.Deb)
            packageName = "org.example.project"
            packageVersion = "1.0.0"
        }
    }
}

What resources should I look at to quickly create a kotlin Compose project targeting only the JVM? (maybe a gradle crashcourse????)

Unrelated, but if you want you can also share your opinion regarding the use of Compose vs JavaFX vs Swing for this situation

This is a of a post made during a time where outgoing federation for lemmy.ml was broken. I hope lemmy.ml readers will forgive me for shoving my filthy little words under the shining gaze of their precious and observant eyes for a second time.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite (7th generation). (Stallman weeps) It appears people generally customize their kindle beyond Amazon's original design by jailbreaking it. But I was wondering if I could replace the entire system on the kindle by a new one, for even more hacking fun.

It appears Kindle Paperwhites run on ARM processors, so there should be plenty of compatible software. However, it appears flashing the ROM of kindle only appears in the context of something called the Kindle Fire. Why is that? Is there any reason ROM flashing for the paperwhite kindles isn't common? The only reasons I could think of is that disassembling and reassembling the kindle paperwhite is kinda annoying (especially with the glue holding the case together) and that maybe not everyone has a board to externally flash ROMs. I've also thought that maybe the ROM is write-protected or that the software is signed and that the Kindle will refuse to boot off of anything that hasn't received Jeff's blessing. Is there any existing guide on flashing a custom ROM? Have any ROMs been created already?

Maybe my foolish self has not searched good enough and hasn't found the discussions on ROM flashing of other kindle models, but in any case I think it's good to have this discussion on here on Lemmy too even if it potentially already exists somewhere else on the internet, so that other fools like me may come across your wisdom and be enlightened.

If this is complete and utter nonsense what I'm babbling about, can I at least somehow download the firmware and software running on the kindle from the device, so that I may poke and probe it with my disgusting, dirty little fingers, defiling Amazon's intellectual property?

I hope that you have a good day and that the following days be good too. If I am stupid for even mentioning the idea of a good day, I wish that some day our suffering may end and that a good day be something we all can look forward to.
