are you learning or working on anything interesting?

i've been trying to make a mush using an ecs pattern. i've read a bit through tinymush's code and it identifies everything as an object that has a type, but i was wondering how it could work where types and capabilities are applied to objects in the abstract.
something i've been struggling with whether it is a good strategy is for instance around movement. it becomes really, really convoluted but it really does break down everything into very decoupled parts of code.

as an example if a player says "move north" a command component is added for the entity associated with the player.
the command system runs each tick sees a new command component to "move" an entity, checks if that entity has a location component and, if there is a "north" exit entity in its location, puts in a movement component for that entity.
the movement system then changes the entity's location component but adds an event component as a side effect saying "moved from A to B"
the event system uses this to tell the entities in "A" that it moved out of the location, and "B" that it moved into the location and adds message components
the message system sends text backto the player

an alternative i can think of is to have the systems be called directly as an entity but i never got around to that. i haven't tried unity or unreal out yet, but does anyone have experience with ecs in game engines like them? (as an aside i read that unity is trying to patent the ecs pattern which is absolutely bonkers)

I am slowly writing my own client for Gemini. It's in Haskell, uses my favourite effects system (Polysemy), and probably will look like diohsc (https://repo.or.cz/diohsc.git). I loved ideas behind diohsc, but the code is messy, and I couldn't add my features to it. Hopefully, I will succeed in making mine modular and extensible.
I'll probably name my client Jotaro or smth :))))

Building a little handheld Raspi computer from components and a 3d printed case. It's been done before, but it's helping me learn CAD and get more comfortable with electronics. And I get a neat little computer out of it.

that's fantastic

@136 people who grok haskell to me are always intimidatingly smart. i took a brief intro course to it and could do a few basic algorithm exercises but i never became confident enough in it to try personal projects. and what a fantastic name
@138 rpi projects are always fun, i have a couple filling a few roles around the house. are you a whole handheld rpi kit with touchscreen/etc? and do you have your own printer?

@152 yes and yes on the pi
