Is it not possible to use `window.devicePixelRatio` instead of calibration?

It's pretty straight forward to include the output of `wasm-pack` into a vite project. The output is a node module in a folder with the wasm files and a single "main" JS file.

Because I wanted to load WASM in a web worker for my project [1] I needed to use vite-plugin-wasm and `wasm-pack build --target web` but without that constraint you should be able to import the main JS file from the wasm-pack output directory using wasm-pack's default `bundler` target and no vite plugins.

Interesting, thanks. I am especially interested in the idea of introducing player-defined concepts.

Would you be able to recommend a Datalog implementation that allows independant n-ary relations. Ideally one I can use from Python or Javascript in a sort of sandboxed way, as I am doing with Datascript, but if you have any recommendation at all it would be helpful to me.

To me the interesting thing is the logic programming "rules" and their overlap with game rules. Inspired by work at Stanford on the logic programming based Game Description Language [1] I implemented Tic Tac Toe in Datascript yesterday: https://github.com/kasbah/datascript-games/blob/e06a37025bf9...

I am still not clear whether there isn't a more succinct rule definition than what I have there. In the Stanford paper you have rules like:

   (<= (column ?n ?x)
     (true (cell 1 ?n ?x))
     (true (cell 2 ?n ?x))
     (true (cell 3 ?n ?x)))

But in Datascript I have to do much more rigmarole around shuffling the data around:

  [(column ?n ?x) 
    [?current "ident" "current"] 
    [?coord0 "type" "coord"] 
    [?coord1 "type" "coord"] 
    [?coord2 "type" "coord"]
    [?coord0 "m" 0] 
    [?coord1 "m" 1] 
    [?coord2 "m" 2] 
    [?coord0 "n" ?n] 
    [?coord1 "n" ?n] 
    [?coord2 "n" ?n] 
    [?coord0 "name" ?key0] [?current ?key0 ?x]
    [?coord1 "name" ?key1] [?current ?key1 ?x]
    [?coord2 "name" ?key2] [?current ?key2 ?x]]

I don't know if this is down to Datascript/Datomic Datalog limitations or more the limitations of my understanding.

How do you approach your experiments? If you have any of your work to share or some tips on what I am doing I'd be very interested.

I find this DIY yellow drum machine robot from 14 years ago much more impressive.

In all seriousness Python's json.tool is a great option here.

    cat big.json | python3 -m json.tool

    python3 -m json.tool big.json
