Hypno.exe development update 2024-01-27

Progress is Progress

Another fortnight and somehow it is already February. Horrifying.

Hypno.exe continues to advance through milestones at a pace I would consider "acceptable". Specifically:

    ## Added

    - notify that unsaved stuff will be lost for open, import, etc.

    - basic changing color data struct

    - basic settings into collapsible header

    - changing color setting + editing gui

    - Text Element

        - Basic Settings

        - Text Settings

        - Changing Color

    ## Fixed

    - Changing color not initiating properly

The "Changing Color Setting", as I so eloquently call it, it pretty much the backbone of every visual Element that has a color (so, all of them) so it is quite important I get it right early on, since if I have to change it later it might invalidate user's Programs from preceding versions of Hypno.exe, which I dearly want to avoid wherever possible.

There is still much to be done, but this next development cycle will focus on the selection and playback cycle: picking a Program, pre-loading it, playing it, all that jazz.

Once again in the "who asked" department, I have some job applications in the pipe which are quite promising, but being multi-stage processes the end might be in sight, but it is still a ways off and largely a game of waiting and, frankly, stressing. C'est la vie.

A more interesting aside, I have done some small code touch-ups for ButtplugUE and will be pushing out those changes along with some new features sometime "soon".

Lastly, I want to thank those of you who have started financially supporting me and my work. The very idea that someone sees what I am doing and thinks it is worth putting any money towards is nothing short of spectacular. I will not let your support go to waste.

As always, you can keep up with development, me, and my work through any of the links found on AllMyLinks, which now also includes BlueSky since we are all just waiting for social media to collapse and need to cling to as much flotsam as possible.
