good news I'm able to make like a few example games!! unfortunately sometimes things crash and I'm not too sure what's causing it too. which would cause me to lose everything and have to completely restart. I feel like my games are very rudimentary and I want to do more with the engine but I don't have examples of how far the engine can go and I'm really not code literate... I also sometimes get crashes for dragging and dropping Things from the picture box, I am playing this on my Android pad/ tablet so some things are kind of hard to see I don't know if it's the screen resolution just messing with me,

I also hate how committal I have to be with rules and actions as I can't rearrange anything so a lot of my example games are like just more alphabetical order versions of previous example games...

it would help a lot if there was just more like demos of what a game would look like as a lot of crashes could just be my fault and not correctly closing or not correctly implementing things...

My humans would discover fire and then never want to go back to sleep😭😭😭

Ah, I did write some examples, but they're not in the Android build! Silly me.

Here, this is a zip file containing a variant sim of the Parable of the Polygons example from the README:

(removed. these are on Lisien's main itch page now)

Here's another zipped sim demonstrating pathfinding and some really basic user input:

(removed)

You should be able to use the "Import game" button to load these into Elide on Android. Let me know if anything weird happens, and do try to get the elide directory full of log files zipped and uploaded somewhere I can get it.

There is a feature in the backend that lets you change the priority of rules. I just haven't exposed it in the frontend yet. Since it turns out you need it, I'll work on it.

oooh! I have to be honest not too sure what that means. Does I relate to me using the tablet or do you mean just Android all together?

Either way I'm excited for an update

Ok, so, "the backend" is the `lisien` module for Python. Pretty soon it'll be running in like a web server or something, but I've put it in the same process as Elide, the Android app you're using, for now. And that backend already has the feature you want, so the next update only requires me to write code for the buttons and stuff...not necessarily trivial to do, but it doesn't require any major changes to the data model or the overall design. So like, give me a week or so and I'll have a new release out with that feature and at least a log viewer.

Right, so, I went to write the new features for reordering rules and rulebooks in the Elide frontend, and hit a super critical issue importing games that demands a bugfix release...but I also got buttons to reorder the rules working, so I may as well add those too. The real release will be in 4-6 hours because my tests are slow, but for you, a preview build: (removed)

Released!

And, I gotta do another release same-day, because the New Game button broke again. I need more tests for the frontend.

Real release coming in a few hours, preview here: (removed)

Released the fix later than I'd like because of an unrelated issue.

Would you like to keep in touch over some other medium? You're my second actual user ever, and I'd like to support you however I can.

I am so sorry for not responding at all I have just been off the Internet, but I have been downloading your updates And playing with them !!

Thank you so much for what you were able to do with the Android version I really didn't think that I would get a response let alone quick one and several of them in implementing the order system is great thank you so much I love what I'm able to do with this program already and excited to see whatever implements that you add later !

Along with playing with the engine itself I've been just learning Python, so I understand more on what I could be possibly doing on my end alongside of just understanding python, taking notes and stuff similar to high school!!

My dad has also been messing with the program he really likes it and since he is never explored any other coding language This is also his entry level of Python he's much better at it though since he understands coding language and I am not... he doesn't have an account and he just messes with it on my samsung tablet. so technically you have 3

Thank you very much. I'm glad you like it, and eager to play whatever you and your dad come up with.
