hmm. I've heard my little binary clock extension broke for some people on the new version of gnome shell. Kind of surprised the extension is actually used at all :P
I tried fixing the extension which seems to work, except that it gives an error when users update it. The error can only get fixed by restarting gnome shell, or logging out/rebooting. I wonder why that happens.
@vancha That's a cool extension! I have never seen your Github page before 😅 You have some interesting projects 👍
@zwerg12 oh god please don't :p it only has school assignments and projects I started but never done anything with.
The only things I'm actually proud of having made are private repositories because I don't actually really own the code myself :(
It's about time I start working on something meaningful though. :)
@zwerg12 well and that extension of course. That I made to find out what it would be like to make an extension. I guess it's not really meaningful really. Just one .js file and it's based on code someone else had already written 😅
@vancha Haha but I know the struggle of finding an project which is really meaningful. I started 8 or 9 Android apps but never finished a single one because they never have been really useful 😅
But the sudoku solver was still interesting to read on your page and I never knew how extensions work but now I know 😅
@vancha That's a cool idea. A few years ago I also wrote a Sudoku solver which had also some advanced strategies to solve a Suduko which would not be possible with only checking rows/columns or boxes. If you like you can contact me when you start this project. I would love to contribute some solving strategies ☺
@zwerg12 Thanks for the offer :) I'd try working on that if there wasn't already a solution for that on crates.io ^ ^
Currently I'm just trying to think of something that can somewhat reliable extract a sudoku puzzle from an image.
@vancha I think this will be the most difficult part to do that reliably ^^
@zwerg12 yeah :p I had so much fun with rust and opencv today I got a bit carried away 😂 I'll just try to make something that's good enough, instead of perfect. Let's see what it ends up as :)
@vancha Haha sounds cool 😅 Good luck! And I should start learning Rust now 😂
@zwerg12 thinking about it, I did actually make an android app for someone a month or two ago, using firebase. It recognizes product labels and could extract product numbers. Those product numbers were then compared to a list from a mysql database and relevant product details were shown.
Also didn't really polished that, but it did work :)
@zwerg12 the sudoku slver was also a school assignment :) I'll make another one in gtk and rust sometime soon, since I had plans of making one for the librem 5. The goal is to make one that uses a camera to take a picture of a sudoku puzzle with opencv. Except the last time I tried it the opencv bindings for rust weren't really that easy to use.
