Floppy Drive Lemonade Stand

Entry for Ludum Dare 54th edition. Theme: Limited Space. Sling floppy drives filled with the files most in demand to pay your college dorm rent!

floppy-drive-lemonade-stand's Issues

calendar

• show current day
• show morning / evening "half-state"
• show "progress time"/advance game button: "Go to class" -> "Go to sleep" -> "Go to class"

file writer

• #3
• #4
• #5

news

• show messages as stripped-down tweets, i.e. username:<newline>message text
• generate messages
• differentiate messages based on if the related torrent has been created in-game or not yet

download queue

• store list of downloads
• downloads have 3 states: queued, in progress, finished
• 1 download <-> 1 file
• simulate bandwidth
• pause all downloads when local drive runs out of room -> more blocked than paused for now
• show space taken on local drive by downloads in file tree

floppy file writer / contents viewer

1 Floppy = 1 MiB

1 MiB = 256 blocks of 4 KiB each

256 blocks = 16 by 16 grid

• show grid
• store list of files in loadout
• display files listed in loadout in grid
• delete file from loadout
• write loadout to x blank floppy drives
• set amount to write

grid display to be done later if time/game jam restrictions permit

writing a layout should change x blank floppy drives into x written drives with the given layout

• store (amount * layout) pairs in stock
• connect layout_written signal to write command function on stock
• reduce # of blank drives when writing by corresponding amount

local file manager

• store files (todo: explore tree node's docs to see if data should be stored as node hierarchy or separately)
• select files to be sent to floppy
• select files to be deleted
• derive (and show) file sizes and hard drive space quota filled

stock management basics

• store # of blank floppies

• 2 tabs: blank & written

• display number of blank floppies stored in blank tab

• display non-blank floppies (just number for now)

• button to buy more blanks on the street / brick and mortar store

• button to order more blanks online (disabled for now)

• store amount of money / funds available (in cents for numerical precision)

• deduct funds and increase blank floppy stock when buying on the street

game loop

basic state chart for now.

main features needed:

• advancement of time
• advancement of date
• disable main ui (in opposition to sidebar) during class & sleep (and other "maintenance"/upkeep states) -> pushed back to once all ui sections are fleshed out
• subtract funds on end of month/rent payment
• simulate people buying the player's written floppy drives during the day/classes

torrent browser

• read from static def torrent resource allows defining from within editor. while not static per se, it's a nicer editing experience and it is stored in the scene file, so good enough
• populate tree
• search bar to filter displayed torrents pushed back until when there is more time (probably never / if I pick this back up after the jam's end)
• do not show torrents whose creation date is in the future
• allow player to enqueue new download from a torrent
