Thank you! And not to nag but I brought this issue up last year and it hasn't been fixed yet, the "Barrington Street Before Spring Garden Rd" stop location hasn't been moved in the data despite having been moved in reality a few years ago (current actual location circled in red).

@hfxtransit.bsky.social your website says the 7B goes every 15 minutes, but Google seems to be missing one of the four hourly buses in its routes -- I see hh:12, hh:42, and hh:57, but no hh:27 route, and I noticed this last week too, so there might be an issue with the data provided to 3rd parties

the very first playtest for my game prototype began yesterday! Such an exciting milestone; I'm slowly rolling it out to a larger and larger circle of interested friends, so if you're not invited yet just be patient (or message me if you really want in lol)

Well then why'd you even ask??

Then the purifier -- when a mixed packet passes by a purifier (or is stopped at one by a gate/timer), all its power is converted to its greatest aspect (color) -- to a max of 2x that aspect's original power.

Two more game features in, first one is timers -- the timer starts when the first packet arrives, and when the timer is over then all built up packets are released together

I did implement all the emblems (right now they're all just targeting, so quite straightforward), but this shows the functionality of the first working filigrees: gates! a gate only allows packets to pass once their power level equals the size of the gate. as seen with the green packets, gates stack

This also contains a glitch that was fixed later (the emblems delay in turning back to default-yellow), but you can see emblems getting detected (changing color) when inside valid emblem frames
May 10, 2025 at 12:22 AM
Next is detection of emblem frames -- standalone emblems carved into runes have effects for the whole rune, but they need to be contained in an emblem frame. The trickier part was allowing emblem frames to also act as circuits which (currently) filigrees and emblems themselves cannot do
May 10, 2025 at 12:22 AM
Second version of the filigree detection after some fixes (all the colours were off by one, whoops)
May 10, 2025 at 12:22 AM
Next up was FILIGREE DETECTION. When a valid filigree shape is detected, it changes color! nevermind the fact that it's red that's a glitch I fixed later (I also added an indicator to the circuit tile the filigree connects to)
