Mainly at the moment I’m stuck on deciding what sort of game I want to write with it.

I’ve been roughly following the tutorial but going slightly off-piste — the player character doesn’t fight, there’s a grue but it’s not an antagonist (you can kill the monsters by leading them to the grue and it eats them), and you can keep playing after you die. I might just carry on like that and do things as they occur to me.

But I also wondered about seeing if I could use it as a more general GUI, e.g. I started sketching out the idea of making a star chart (not as in astronomy or astrology, but as in primary school gold stars) with it. I ended up using a spreadsheet for the star chart I actually wanted to make, but I wonder if it’s a completely ridiculous idea or if this sort of thing makes sense.
