Perhaps my drawing room needs an old-fashioned drafting table, for my compass and straight-edge proofs. A clock on the wall would be nice, as would be some books for my bookshelves. The piano still needs legs and a place for some sheet music. Thus, while writing a game engine entirely from scratch is never an easy undertaking, I still think that it is a worthwhile endeavor. Most who dwell around these parts will understand why.

So, yeah - I am having thoughts about making a game engine that contains some kind of object editor, "in-game", as it were, or as I should say, as it eventually will be.  Then I also want to have the stuff from "Teapot in the Garden", which you can find elsewhere, i.e., along the photo-realistic hair generating stuff, that also does blades of grass, trees, etc., all based on the same theory of "Digital DNA" based procedural mesh generation, among other things, and where some of other things includes the foundational stuff that is all based on the principles of Euclid, also as previously discussed.

Thus, likewise, I think that AI, LLMs, and transformers as such are going to turn out to be quite useful, not just for giving personality to avatars, as such, but also for doing things according to some modern variant of SHRDLU, which I am also still working on, in addition to the Eliza stuff, believe it or not.

Not that I couldn't perhaps run some variant of Ki-CAD as an ActiveX X control, for example, that is to say, within a view - inside a game engine perhaps? Even if the Meta-verse is pretty much a failure.  Even if Microsoft BOB was a failure.  Just so long as I don't try to reinvent "Clippy!"  Right?

O.K., maybe an old-fashioned analog clock on one of those walls would be nice, at least for now.  Along with an old-fashioned drafting table.

I wonder how many people remember that BeOS could do "books" with page-turning effects, along with animations on the individual pages?  A rather impressive feat for the late 90's, that is, that something like that could actually be done, even then without a GPU, i.e., on just a PowerPC.

Then there is reflection, as an optical concept, or as a psychological concept, or even as a programming concept.  This is something to ponder - or at least reflect upon.

To be continued ...
