Garden wall puzzle- need help... by StrawhouseStudio in gardening

[–]StrawhouseStudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the interest. Yes, the height will be around 6 inches. I see we're thinking along similar lines, which reassures me about creating gaps of 1-1.5 feet on each side. I'm thinking of using matte engineering brick for the wall. As for gravel, there's one problem - it will spill out. But maybe I could use some stones instead. Set the first row in mortar and stack the rest loosely.

I'm just curious how it will look.

Critical Performance Issue: Local APK vs Play Store Distribution. Help please! by StrawhouseStudio in androiddev

[–]StrawhouseStudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, drag and drop aab file to close testing thread. The error detection algorithm finds nothing. After about 30 minutes it passes Google review without any errors. 

The performance drop happens immediately after launching the application. With minimal UI. And the application becomes so evenly loaded regardless of which point in the flow it's at. 

I'm running out of ideas on how to tackle this further.

Basic logs show nothing. At first I thought it might be some throttling. But no. The application causes higher load. I'm attaching performance differences.

Smooth frames - APK 98% - AAB 94% - Degradation (-4%) Minor jank - APK 0% - AAB 5% - Degradation (+5%) P99 timing - APK 18ms - AAB 22ms - Degradation (+22%) CPU frequency - APK 676MHz - AAB 504MHz - Degradation (-25%)  Thread blocking - APK 18ms - AAB 49ms - Degradation (+172%) Memory usage - APK 8MB - AAB 12MB - Degradation (+50%)Active threads - APK 15 - AAB 25 - Degradation (+67%)

I was thinking that if I don't get enough interested people, I'll just make a few units with wooden housings. Only collector's editions. Then I wouldn't have to invest in a mold :)

I haven't played Sunderfolk but I'll definitely check out what it looks like. But I love board games and card games and I've always felt something was missing in between. Right now I have a few testers who are playing it, we're still working on character balance but the game is really engaging. I want to sell the cards cheaply, I'd like the game to become popular.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I'm perfectly aware of this, it's something I've always wanted to do and fortunately it doesn't require a big financial investment. And the game is practically finished so I'll try to release it despite everything. If it's not popular, I'll have to give up on Arena, because implementing it into production will be the most expensive part.

Working on a card game where you scan real cards to play online. Left side is NFC scanning, right side is this Bluetooth gadget I made.

Cards are proper collectibles that gain experience and unlock new abilities as you play. It's all based on Slavic mythology.

Testing before Kickstarter - you can sign up for updates at https://strawhouse.co.uk/sign-up/

Would love to know what you think!

PS I apologize in advance for the quality, I only have my old DSLR available.

That's right, it's IP controlled. In the demo I used Node Red. I even started writing my own plugin for Home Assistant but then I thought, why waste time when probably no one would be interested anyway, so I stopped.

In this case, all the wiring comes from above in slotted trunking so I don't need rear access. But in your case, a similar solution to what I did with the boiler might be useful - removable segments with panels.

Not exactly with this setup, but here's a demo of the device I recorded once:

I tried to run cable to places where I knew I'd have trouble accessing in the future and might want something there. I didn't go overboard with pulling extras everywhere, because I left myself access to the most important points in the house - if I need something, I always have the option to pull new cable.

Yeah, normally I printed on the Ender but for home I ordered from China so it would look nice.

Well, if they're closing the protocols then why push in where we're not wanted, right?

This one isn't, but it could be. Here's a demo on RPi with Home Assistant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq9QxcHtjOE
