Added an Ukrainian translation to my app. This is the new Catalyst Mac version which will make its debut in 5.7. I have no idea of the quality of the translation, but other translations have been pretty good. I used Claude to help with the translation work.

@david_megginson I have seen this market for over 15 years and I never had any illusions of succeeding. That’s only for a few lucky ones and those that are already celebrities and thus get free promotions everywhere. Fortunately I don’t need to support anyone with my apps as I have a real job that gives some bread on the table.
I mostly do this because I can do whatever I want and test out new tech and weird ideas. :)

Is it a God system? Maybe. But I don't know how otherwise to handle collisions between the enemies and the player.

Code does need to access stuff and queries are the only way to get things in afaik? This will certainly be updated if I learn of better ways to do things.

@sashag Yeah, I never do that in any \"C based\" languages that have braces. It wastes a perfectly good line for a thing that is evident from the indentation anyway. The closing one can have an own line. I prefer to sprinkle liberal amounts of empty lines between logical blocks to keep things readable.

I wonder if there's a setting for rustfmt that makes it not break up code into one symbol per line like this. This is atrocious. Who on earth wants { to be on a line of its own? I want to keep things on one line if possible unless I've manually added a line break. I have a wide screen, I don't have a high screen. It's also a bigger mental load to grok code logic and flow vertically than horizontally.

This wasn't exactly a helpful crash. I assume my updated system isn't compatible somehow. It does compile though, so it should be fine. And there is only one Player, so the Single<> should be fine.
At least the way I naively construct my systems they tend to end up with pretty complex arguments as you inevitable need to access different things. It seems like it has to be slow? Or maybe the ECS part makes this really streamlined?

I’m actually slowly getting the hang of doing basic stuff with Bevy. Not had that much time to play with it this week though. Next up is simple sprite animation to get some life into my invaders from space.
I’m however still extremely hesitant about the “systems”. It seems to me that having lots of systems with non trivial queries would be massively slow when Bevy has to sort through and find all matching entities. I guess it’s not, but it feels weird.

This Android Pixel has an annoying feature when the battery is totally empty. When plugged in the device starts booting, shows some splashes, vibrates, detects that it has too little power and then shuts down. Repeat ad nauseam. This cycles every 30s or so for quite a while until it has enough power to stay up. Probably 50 cycles already and I'm bloody annoyed at the thing.
I assume nobody at Google tested what happens with a fully empty device?

In my tests Bevy is incredibly slow at starting up and choppy. I must be doing something wrong, as I see others even do 3D stuff?
This is me starting my little test. A 2D camera, JPG background and 41 sprites. Should it take this long? Most of the time the window is blank my logging says that everything is loaded and Bevy is doing something own. Once it starts, it's really choppy for some seconds. After that it animates quite nicely.
I run a dev build. A release is better.

2D collision handling in Bevy was trickier than I would have thought. I need a system that gets all my entities A that can collide with entities of type B, C and D. Querying either A or B,C and D is easy, but I can't seem to combine those two. Once I get the entities I guess I can calculate a AABB:s for the sprites and check collisions.

The ECS stuff in bevy is immensely complex and the errors from the compiler make the template errors in C++ seem like child's play. :)

One incredibly annoying aspect of learning Bevy is that so much of the docs and material is outdated and deprecated. Of course a library changes and evolves as it's still youong, but it also means that 90% of tutorials and docs no longer are relevant. Been trying for a while to load an image as a background. SpriteBundle is what most docs talk about, but it's no longer available. An AssetServer is perhaps the moderna way?
