So, it’s time for another devlog. So, what has happened?

As I talked about in the last devlog, I got the program added to the .apworld file format in the Windows Explorer, so that one can install apworlds just by double pressing.

I also made a lot of progress on handling the options creator, originally I wanted to use PyO3 for integrating with the official Archipelago runtime, which I realised isn’t that great of an idea as shipping a Python interpreter with it is kind of a pain. So I ended up using PyInstaller to create an executable of the runtime + my wrapper and bundling that executable with the application.

This executable now allows me to read the options from an apworld, which I am using to recreate the options creator in a more intuitive way by bundling the seed generation and room creation all in one flow, so a user can in one flow create all configurations, configure their room, generate their seed and upload it to a webhost of their choosing.

From that flow, I already have some basics of the slot configuration set up, as well as, of course, the option reader.

Next up I will try to complete the slot configuration and try myself at the seed generation, as well as the room configuration UI.

Bye!
