Progress Update: July 1st, 2026 Last month went as planned - I completed the sandboxing work for the time being, documented it in the manual, and returned to working on the soundboard. Most of the soundboard work so far has been about elaborating the features and the general look and feel of the program. This month I'm hoping to continue that work, and see if I can get it demo-ready.
Progress Update: June 1st, 2026 Sandboxing work continues - since the last progress update I've mostly been working on improving the sandboxing features of stateful APIs such as Window and Audio. In June I'm hoping to finish this work, update the documentation to reflect the changes implemented over the last two months, and hopefully bubble back up to where I had left off, which was the soundboard app.
Progress Update: May 1st, 2026 My main concern over April was implementing the sandboxing fixes I had mentioned in the previous progress update, and generally improving the engine's sandboxing capabilities. This work is now mostly finished but certain aspects of it still need to be ironed out, so this month I'm hoping to focus on that.
Progress Update: April 1st, 2026 Over the last month I worked on implementing the Keyboard API, which you can read about here - the gist of it is that it allows direct access to the keyboard state, and is intended to supplement the keymap API. Afterwards I noticed some issues in the engine's sandboxing implementation, and I'm currently working on fixing them.
Progress Update: March 1st, 2026 Last month I developed some SFX for the engine's UI, updated common menus to reflect the implementation of audio functionality, and began work on the soundboard. This month I'm hoping to continue work on the soundboard, and update the engine's handling of keyboard events.
Progress Update: February 1st, 2026 January was a bit slow on the programming front, I tied up the few loose ends regarding sound work in the engine and put active development on the back burner a bit to focus on my art and sound skills. I hope to continue this approach for a few more weeks at least, and then begin work on the soundboard.
Progress Update: January 1st, 2026 I'm now mostly done with menu and mint sound settings and sound work in general, but there's still some testing and polish left to be done. I hope to get that work out of the way during January, and if possible begin work on a soundboard program.
Progress Update: December 1st, 2025 Sound work continues. Last month I implemented soundset objects (which contain sound assets), and the Audio API (which allows you to play sounds & control currently playing sounds from Lua), but the last section of the work, menu sound settings, remains under development. This month I hope to finish work on the menu sound settings and finalize the sound work.
Progress Update: November 1st, 2025 During October I finished work on the shell menu improvements I had in mind, tidied up the common assets of the engine, recorded a new demo showcasing the shell's TUI capabilities, and released Monospace Engine v0.1.0! Afterwards I upgraded the engine to SDL3, and began work on the sound API. I hope to focus on the sound API this month.
Work on the latest Window API improvements has finished, and I've also implemented some changes to keymaps to better enable the development of TUI's in the engine. On the front-end side I've continued work on the main menus of the engine such as the settings menu and the shell. This month I hope to implement some more quality of life improvements to the shell, and continue working on the common assets in general. I also hope to improve the engine page by adding a video gallery.
