Flight Rising Dragon Bio Generator!
a.k.a. i tell you about my insomnia (and probably ADHD) fueled programming
i wanted to show this off because i am so excited over it, and like, weirdly proud of myself (i don't make stuff very often!! this is a rare gem). but! i made this cool little tool for myself to help me create bios for my dragons in flight rising!
it's very heavily based on a template made by AbyssalRising (not sure of their whereabouts now), and uses assets by @drytil (the emblem by the name, as well as the statue to the left of the quote). i've been using that template for a long time and slowly tweaking it to my tastes. you can see the original by clicking Abyssal's name above, but for a long time I used this variant I setup:
OKAY THAT'S THE BORING STUFF THOUGH BECAUSE THAT'S JUST BBCODE. the REAL shining star is THIS THING:
as previously stated i had bad insomnia and could not sleep at all so instead i learned python's tkinter library and taught myself to create a UI from scratch. two days later (i got sleep don't worry) and this is the final result!
it's still really simple, and has some bugs (oops no scrollbar on the preview, so if the bio is too big it just cuts off), but i'm actually really proud of making something, both for the "oh my gods i had fun learning something new" and "this will actually enable me to create stories for my dragons because editing the BBCode was a big thing holding me back (it's tedious)"
anyway i just wanted to yell about this into the void - i don't have the code posted anywhere but if anyone wanted it i'd be happy to share the source python or make an executable for them (i'd probably just yeet this stuff into github so that the source is visible and a release would be easy to download). but, i doubt there will be any interest in my little corner of the internet, so i'm not gonna bother unless someone explicitly asks lmao.
anyway, please enjoy a picture of my lovely test dragon: Acrid (who wasn't just a test for this, she's my testing grounds for a lot of my BBCode shenanigans).
