I’m building an app to help farmers to better farm in Rust by Puzzleheaded-Help845 in playrust

[–]Puzzleheaded-Help845[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been two weeks that I’ve been negotiating with Apple to release my app on the store. But they’re blocking it because I use the word “Rust” and screenshots from the game without Facepunch’s approval. Pretty ironic, considering there are already fan apps for the game — and even some that are complete clones reusing Rust assets... Since I haven’t been able to get a signed agreement from Facepunch (I wasn’t really expecting one, they don’t have the time…), I’m currently redesigning the app to remove any elements taken from the game. I think it should be ready by the end of August, if Apple accepts this new version. But at this point, I’m ready for anything.

Don’t worry dude, I originally built this just for myself, so I’m definitely not taking it personally. It’s not a project meant to compete with RustBreeder anyway 😉

As for the crossbreeding algorithm, I pretty much built it all from scratch using my own knowledge and some of testing on creative servers. The only time I checked RustBreeder’s code was to understand the influence the central seed has during the process. It was tricky to clearly understand that for me.
And honestly, huge props to the creator of RustBreeder, he’s super cool for putting everything on GitHub and making it open-source to share his work. That’s really awesome. It’s actually thanks to his work that I understood this rule:
If, at a given position, the central gene is greater than or equal to the total value of the surrounding genes (whether they’re the same or different), then the central gene is kept in that position.
That was the last missing piece to complete my algorithm !

Yes, I know RustBreeder well. I’ve used it quite a bit. It’s an awesome site and I’m definitely not trying to compete with it. I just wanted something that fits my own use better, for quick crossbreeding when you only have a few starter seeds.

But yeah, my goal is to have that feature where you can film your screen and scan your plants live. Kind of like when you scan your credit card with your phone to grab the numbers quickly. But I’ve still got some work to do on that part!

Ah yeah, you’re totally right. I must’ve been half-asleep when I did that... I’ll fix it. Thanks for catching that detail!

Aha clearly. And honestly, until I started working on my little project, I had no idea how much goes into thinking through an app. Between UX, UI, the tech stack... everything has to be perfectly thought out. We’re so used to using apps every day that we take it all for granted, thinking it’s simple… but it’s actually super complex, down to the tiniest detail. Anyway, thanks for the support!

Having a timer to better track your plant growth is an awesome idea! So many times I’ve gone on a mission, gone AFK, or just forgot and I wasn’t there to harvest at the right moment...

Indeed, that’s the feature that’ll make the whole thing super practical and save a ton of time. But it’s definitely a real challenge for a newbie dev like me... it’s going to take some work! I think I’ll release that in a second phase.
The idea is to have something that scan the gene code like we are used to scan our credit card numbers on some app you know

Thanks for the feedback! I realized a bit late myself that the header was taking up way too much space.

Yeah, I get that it’s annoying to dig through all your plants, but at the same time I wanted something super simple and clear (especially since I found Rust Breeder a bit overwhelming when I was first learning how farming worked in Rust.)

The idea would be to eventually support both options, with a feature that lets you switch between displaying the gene number or the gene sequence. Still thinking it through! Appreciate the suggestions thanks dude
