#pikapp — Public Fediverse posts

We're also working on our prototype point-and-click adventure Itemagically! We'll be starting a few new exciting projects based on it, including an Egg Salad mystery adventure! We're really excited to be going this direction with our #indieGameDev stuff!

On the other hand, our vague plan for #Pikapp (our GnuImp rename) is to work on it slowly over the next year or two, since the crowdfunding didn't work out. It'll take longer but we'll do it between other things.

Lots of folks have wanted at least a rebrand of GnuIMP & 2 years ago we decided to make just that! Y’all funded us creating a tool to rebrand gnu imp + a whole rebrand, called :PIKApp:

We’ve got a new fundraiser to update #heckImp to gnuImp 3.0 + package #PIKApp for Linux and Windows: https://chuffed.org/project/157315-fund-aldercone-collectives-heckimp-and-pikapp-projects

We’re excited to get started so boost this post and tell your friends!

Hey we remembered to actually fully launch the chuffed campaign for heckimp and PIKA! :yay_cheer: https://chuffed.org/project/157315-fund-aldercone-collectives-heckimp-and-pikapp-projects

(it was in pre-launch before and only visible via the link)

Help us Aldercones stay housed and make this rebrand of gnuIMP for you!

And did you know our cute lil :PIKApp: has a name! It's Clover!

The next part of this project is to update heckimp/PIKA heckimp to deal with new changes in the upstream codebase and release stable versions that everyone can use!

Please help us (stay housed and) make this for you by supporting the project at https://chuffed.org/project/157315

:PIKApp:

Thank you!

Hey! Remember when y'all funded the first versions of heckimp and PIKA? That was awesome and now we're back with part 2!

Fundraise the project! https://chuffed.org/project/157315

Once funded, we'll be updating heckimp and PIKA with the gnuIMP 3.0 update, as well as making Linux and Windows packages so PIKApp will be easy for everyone to install!

PIKApp / Heckimp Status

Heckimp is a tool for creating and maintaining forks of the Gnu Image Manipulation Program.

Status:
- We have working PIKApp builds on Linux from 10 mos ago that we use, they work pretty good.
- Heckimp needs to be updated for latest changes in upstream.
- We can share our builds and help build other forks.

Hopefully by the end of this month we'll have #PIKApp based on GnuImp in the 2.10 series and builds for Windows and Linux, if the champion migraine season backs off a little :blobfoxlaughsweat:

Should be straight forward to tweak #heckimp to work with the codebase and make a branding package for this series. We'd been previously working on PikAPP from the 2.99/3.0 development codebase, which is our main target but getting something to everyone sooner is our current priority!

I have cut a release of #PIKApp ! Including some builds on modernish debian installations. It's not exactly for the faint of heart, but much easier than compiling yourself (they are just tarballs of the /usr/local of the build machine). Works on two computers so far so if you wanna give it a go and don't mind your /usr/local having some stuff in it feel free to hit us up!

writing a bash script to compile #PikAPP has changed my life, compiling on any deb based os that i can get a docker image for is amazing

Workin on #PIKApp (our GnuImp rebrand) builds on common debian-based linuces. Hopefully I can get a tarball you can just untar on your machine and it'll work, we'll see! After that maybe .debs and maybe flatpaks maybe. I worked on the windows build for like a couple hours but my windows vm is kerploded because it has like three different incompatble cygwins on it so that's a project for another day, or another person. Other osen too cuz it's just a bash script.

#Heckimp / Pika update! :PIKApp:

I've updated #PIKApp with the latest upstream. Looks like they're rejiggering how dialogs work or something. There remains a bug in the about screen generation but it seems to build ok with a work around.

I'll probably be working on Heckimp next week to improve performance and maybe finally put the about dialog issues to bed.

Check it out ! But like also I'll help you bulid it if you want.

we will have a newsletter out, hopefully by the end of the week? 🤞

and it'll be a big update about #heckinTech, so will include exactly where we are at with #heckImp (our Gnu Imp renamer), #PIKApp (our rebranded Gnu Imp) :PIKApp: , and heck weasel (our static website thingy)!!!

#Heckimp Update!!

I worked a bit on our new gitea for hosting #HeckinTech projects such as heckimp and our fork of GnuImp #PIKApp and so i can share this lovely screenshot.

#PIKApp and #Heckimp update!!

I got the canvas shadow (it's also used for the toolbox at the top) working correctly. If you don't specify yours with your rebranding package it puts a simple placeholder that looks pretty keen!

@vkc There is a potential fork in the works with #HeckImp and #PIKApp :flan_thumbs:

@vkc *gestures vaguely at #heckimp / #PIKApp * we're doing a project to autorename the codebase

i was annoyed that python plugins didn't work in #PIKApp but it turns out in the dev version of gnuimp it's based on they are broken so it's not my fault.

Fwew, very successful stream!

Did a bunch of #heckimp polishing, getting all of the various logging options done, filling in the command line, making it use a config file, and making it patch more bits in the code for more branding to work. Still a bunch to do, specifically around branding, and some annoying bits I want to make patches for, and also the canvas shadow still needs fixing, and the brushes still need fixing (and python plugins, etc etc).

We're gonna do a #TomatoTime #stream where I'll be listening to music and working on #heckimp and #PIKApp!! in like ~20m at most. I'll post a link to our Owncast then

WOOOTTTT

#PIKApp branding well in progress and #heckimp very improved!

As close as our project is to being releasable (if not good) our funding is getting close too! https://ko-fi.com/aldercone/goal?g=75

if you can donate it'll deffo help us get this project done and help us survive another month.

Working on the Fit'n'Finish of #HeckImp ! Making the command line actually useful, adding progress bars, etc!
