Dev Thoughts: CMakeEasy

Whew boy, I feel really confident that not a lot of developers use Tumblr as far as I'm aware. I've been on the platform long enough to know that it's more likely to have a lot of artists, writers, and other creatives.

That being said, I still wanted to share my thoughts on my favorite personal project: CMakeEasy.

For people who don't know, I am currently the development lead and solo developer of CMakeEasy.

CMakeEasy is a C++ based and library-free terminal-based CMakeLists.txt generator. So you might be wondering, "DreamHollow, what the heck is a CMakeLists.txt generator? How is that useful to anyone?"

Well I started the project for my own needs, actually. I'm highly dependent on using a build-system-assistant called CMake. (Honestly I don't know what CMake is classified as, they claim it's not a build system.) But I'm the sort of person that absolutely hates having to constantly look up exact syntax, documentation, and debugging on something that should be relatively simple.

I decided to start development on CMakeEasy in September 2022. It started out with one relatively small Main file that, honestly, barely did anything at all. I dare say it was almost like the alpha version of the project because the scope was not realized.

As of my writing now in May 2023, the repo has grown reasonably large for a solo project.

Where CMakeEasy initially started off barely able to write functional lists, it has blossomed into a more comprehensive project that can write a fairly complex CMakeLists.txt file within seconds to minutes.

Unfortunately, more work still needs to be done. CMakeEasy is functional but can be confusing in terms of usage. I'm going to be overhauling the documentation, syntax, and functionality before the end of the Summer. That's the plan anyway.

The reason I am telling people about this is that I thought it would be a shame if anyone using CMake felt like they had to make the lists the old fashioned way. I promise, you don't anymore. My editor will be continually updated as much as possible to make the process easier for everyone.

Thanks for reading.

Here's an idea! It's one of the hottest summer days in Gravity Falls and Danny and Daisy leave to do some business at the golf course, taking a wagon full of supplies. Stan and Angie just assume they're off to collect golf balls. But when they go to bring them home for lunch, they find their daughters conning rich people out of their money selling expensive "homemade lemonade and cookies" to customers. Hiding the store packaging in a bag. Stan looks on with pride, while Angie is flabbergasted!

Sorry it took me a hot minute, but here it is! Hope it's to your specifications! And I'm now officially done with the prompts in my inbox!

———————————————————————————————————–

              The bell over the Gift Shop door jingled.  Without looking up from the money he was counting at the register, Stan spoke.

              “Gift Shop’s closed fer lunch.”

              “It ain’t closed fer yer wife now, is it?”  Stan looked up.  Angie stood in the doorway.  “If it is, we might have to have a chat or two ‘bout shared property.”

              “The Gift Shop’s never closed fer you,” Stan confirmed.  Angie stepped inside and let the door close behind her.

              “Good.”

              “I mean, you’ve got a key.”

              “Stan.”

              “Of course, if ya let me teach you how to pick a lock, ya wouldn’t need one.”

              “Stan.”  Angie rolled her eyes.  “Enough with the lock pickin’.  And don’t think I ain’t aware that you’ve already taught not just the girls, but the boys, too, how to do it.”

              “Who snitched?” Stan asked.  Angie crossed her arms.

              “No one.  I caught Emmett tryin’ to get into the gun safe.  I figured if ya taught him, ya had to teach the others, too.”  Angie sighed.  “I didn’t ground him, but I did tell him to spread word to his siblin’s that they’re not s’pposed to use those lock pickin’ skills to get around our house rules.”

              “It’s not like groundin’ would do anything,” Stan muttered under his breath.  He put the cash back into the register.  “Kid barely leaves the house.”  Angie walked over and punched his arm.  “Ow.”

              “Oh, pish posh, that didn’t hurt ya.”

              “Physically, no.  Emotionally…” Stan said slowly.  Angie snickered quietly.  Seizing the opportunity, Stan flung his arm across his face dramatically.  “Punched in my best arm by my own wife!  I don’t think I’ll ever recover!”  Angie’s snickering became full-on laughter.

              “Dork,” she said, once she was finished laughing.  Stan winked at her.

              “Yer dork.”

              “Yes, yes, yer my dork.”  Angie kissed Stan on the cheek.  “But seriously, try to be a bit more supportive of Emmett, okay?  I know he’s a bit odd and anxious, but he’s a good kid.  And he’s been tryin’ to be more outgoin’ lately.  Or did ya forget that he and Emory are out at another kid’s house?”

              “I know.  That’s why I had to put Soos on register this mornin’.”  Stan frowned.  “Where are the girls, again?”

              “The golf course.”

              “Why?  I thought we raised ‘em better than to spend time ‘round rich people,” Stan said.  Angie shrugged.

              “They’re collectin’ golf balls.  There’s good money in resellin’ ‘em if ya retrieve ‘em from sand traps ‘n ponds ‘n whatnot.”

              “Huh.”  Stan nodded slowly.  “Good.  I knew those two were smart.”

              “All the kids are smart.”  Angie checked her watch.  “Speakin’ of the girls, I figured we’d drop some lunch off fer ‘em.  Don’t want ‘em to use their hard-earned money on junk food or somethin’.”

              “It’s their money, they can spend it on what they want.”

              “We have perfectly fine food at home.  They shouldn’t spend money to buy ice cream from the lil shop across the street,” Angie said firmly.  Stan raised an eyebrow.

              “There’s an ice cream shop across the street from the golf course?”

              “Yes.”

              “Let’s get goin’.”  Stan grabbed his car keys.  Angie sighed.  “Ang, we’ve been over this.  I can be immature as long as I’m technically still more mature than the kids.”

              “I hate when ya nickel ‘n dime stuff like this,” Angie muttered.  Stan kissed her forehead.

              “Don’t act like yer not in the mood fer ice cream, too.”

              “…Maybe,” Angie conceded.  Stan waggled his eyebrows at her.  “All right, we can get ice cream.”

-----

              When the Stanleymobile turned onto the street the golf course was on, they immediately saw the line.

              “What the hell?” Stan muttered.  “Is golf really that popular here?”

              “Given how long we’ve lived in Gravity Falls, I think we’d know if golf was the most popular pastime fer folks,” Angie said.  “There’s got to be some other reason folks are lined up like that.”  She leaned forward.  “Looks like the crowd’s in the parkin’ lot.  Ya best park at the ice cream shop.”

              “Gladly.”  Stan turned into the ice cream shop’s parking lot, came to a stop, and turned off the car.  He looked at a poster on the outside of the shop, advertising a new flavor.  “They’ve got yer favorite flavor, Ang.”

              “Really?!”  Angie looked over.  She gasped.  “Places almost never have peaches ‘n cream!”

              “So we’re definitely stoppin’ after we give the girls their lunch?”

              “Oh, definitely,” Angie said firmly.  She and Stan got out of the car.  Angie grabbed the bag lunches before closing the passenger side door.  Stan looked across the street.  Now that they were closer, he could see the cause of the crowd.  There was some sort of stand set up in the parking lot.

              “What’s that stand sellin’ and where do I get some cheap?” he asked idly.  Angie rolled her eyes.

              “You sell more ‘n enough as is.”

              “We’ve got smart kids that need to go to college.”

              “Yes, and ‘cause they’re smart, they’ll get scholarships.  Like I did.”  Angie began to walk away.  “Or did ya forget?” she called over her shoulder.  Stan jogged briefly to catch up with her.

              “I know they’ll get scholarships, but you gotta be prepared for everything,” he said.  “The kids sometimes have issues in school.  What if they lose their scholarships over that?”

              “By the time college comes ‘round, they’ll be better equipped to handle what causes issues fer ‘em,” Angie said.

              “Yeah, but-”  Stan came to a sudden stop.  He’d heard a familiar voice.  He looked at Angie.  Judging by her expression, she’d heard the same thing.  “Are ya sure the girls wanted to come here to collect golf balls?”

              “They didn’t actually tell me what they were doin’.  I assumed.”

              “Ya know what they say about assumin’,” Stan muttered.  The familiar voice from before carried above the chatter of the crowd.

              “That’ll be five dollars, thank you, sir.”

              “They’re not collectin’ golf balls,” Angie said quietly.

              “Not unless somethin’ stole Daisy’s voice like when I got my face stolen that one time.”

              “Ugh.  Don’t remind me.”  Angie sighed.  “Should we get in line?”

              “What?  No!  We’re their parents.  That makes us VIPs,” Stan said firmly.  He grabbed Angie’s free hand and pulled her through the crowd, ignoring people scolding them for cutting ahead.  When they got to the stand, they could see it was surprisingly well-made.  A sign at the top read “D&D’s Homestyle Treats”.  And behind the stand stood their thirteen-year-old twin daughters, Danny and Daisy.

              “Uh-oh,” Danny mumbled quietly.  Daisy, however, grinned toothily.

              “Hi Ma!  Hi Dad!  Do you want some homemade stuff?” she asked.  Angie crossed her arms.

              “Homemade?”

              “Yep!”

              “I don’t recall ya makin’ lemonade ‘n cookies at home ‘fore ya left.”

              “You’re getting older, maybe you’re forgetting,” Daisy suggested.  Danny gasped.  She punched her twin’s shoulder.

              “Daisy don’t say somethin’ so rude!”

              “What?  It’s true.  Anyways, Ma and Dad, could we have this conversation a bit away from our customers?”

              “Smart,” Stan said with a nod.  He and Angie walked a few feet away.  Danny carefully placed a sign that said “Back in ten minutes” on the stand, then she and Daisy joined their parents.  “All right you two.  Spill.”

              “We’re just bein’ entrepreneurs like you raised us,” Danny said.  Angie frowned at her.  “What?”

              “Are ya actually sellin’ homemade goods?”

              “Uh, no,” Daisy said.  “They’re store-bought.”

              “Then why are ya claimin’ it’s homemade?”

              “There’s better money in it,” Daisy said simply.  Stan nodded again.

              “Smart,” he repeated.  Angie gave him a look.  “What?  It is!  I think we should be proud of the girls fer bein’ so savvy.”

              “I-”  Angie kneaded her forehead.  “I didn’t raise y’all to lie.”

              “Too bad,” Daisy said with a shrug.  “Dad did.”

              “We’re not completely lying,” Danny put in.  “There’s an asterisk on the sign after the word ‘homemade’ and if anyone asks we’ll tell ‘em the truth.  We’re also saying the asterisk out loud, but since asterisks don’t make sounds, they can’t hear it.”

              “Heh!”  Stan grabbed his daughters and gave them affectionate noogies.  “That’s my girl!  Havin’ a way out on a technicality!  I’m so proud of you two!”

              “It…is very clever,” Angie said slowly.  She sighed.  “Did yer Uncle Fidds help ya set up the stand?”

              “Yep!” Daisy chirped.

              “Where is he?”

              “The ice cream shop across the street.  Don’t worry, he’s been keepin’ an eye on us,” Danny said.  Angie nodded.

              “Good.  Good.  I’m fine with the two of ya doin’ things unsupervised, but even in Gravity Falls, I feel more comfortable knowin’ yer sellin’ stuff to strangers if’n ya have someone we trust nearby to watch ya.”

              “Especially in Gravity Falls,” Stan corrected his wife.  “Or did you forget when the gnomes tried to kidnap Danny?”  Danny shuddered.

              “Stupid weird little men,” she muttered.  Angie sighed again.

              “All right, all right.  I’ll let this slide.  You two can go back to makin’ money by lyin’.”

              “We did learn it from Dad,” Daisy pointed out.

              “That’s precisely why I’m lettin’ it slide.”  Angie smiled fondly.  “Ya best get back ‘fore yer customers get impatient.”  Stan let Danny and Daisy loose.  “First, take yer lunches.”  Angie handed over the lunch bags.  The girls quickly gave each parent a hug before scurrying back to their stand.  Stan looked at Angie.

              “Yer proud of ‘em.  I can tell.”

              “I can’t deny that you were right ‘bout this bein’ savvy behavior,” Angie said.  “Thinkin’ things through like this will help get ‘em far in life.”  Stan put his arm around Angie’s shoulders.

              “Yep.”  He grinned.  “So…ice cream?”

              “Yes.  Ice cream.”

For the clow magic thing, they are more for the aesthetics of the anime than usefulness but the actual cards in the anime (card captors) was used as tarot card for a few years and seemed to work for a good amount of ppl for a long time. I think it's becoming popular again though because of its recent new season.

Icarus Travels

"Greetings, this is Icarus Travels, here to help your journey to what your heart desires most and to help you fight off the fear of falling." This is what greeted the lost woman as she passed by the entrance way of a rather extravagant travel agency. The woman knew that this wasn't here before because she's taken this path through the area many times before. However, she was quite curious and debated on giving the place just a small look. It's not like she had anywhere else to go since her and her wife had divorced. Maybe she could find a nice start somewhere else if she had the money for it. Even if the idea of having money was quite laughable at the moment. The woman didn't notice when she stsrted talking quietly to herself and mistakenly wished her thoughts out loud. So lost in thought, the woman sadly, didn't feel a dark emerald cuff snap onto her wrist before a hand grabbed her shoulder.

"Madame are you okay?" A musical voice asked from behind her. The woman jumped and quickly turned to see where the hand connected to and let out quiet gasp. The woman in front of her was remarkably beautiful. Almost like she was built from pure porcelain and marble with the most emerald green eyes she's ever seen. The woman responded with her name automatically as she couldn't stop staring at the emerald eyes beauty. "It's a pleasure to meet you Katherine, why don't we get you settled down with some tea before discussing your payment for your journey." Katherine couldn't stop the little twitch of her hand as she wanted to touch to beautiful woman in front of her. The words different register to her that she was tricked into something. Her mother always said she had little self-preservation when it came to things she desired. "You may call me Victoria until our business is settled." Said the emerald beauty as she came back in with tea.

"Business? What business exactly are we talking about?" Katherine asked in confusion. Victoria just smiled a sweet almost innocent smile as she should Katherine her wrist. Looking down in shock, she tried to take the cuff off. "Now, now, please calm down. Everything is fine." Victoria's musical voice whispered into her mind as she felt her body instantly calm. Katherine knew she should not be calming down and she be getting scared but couldn't. Something in her mind was being blocked as she tried to understand what was happening. Then she noticed one odd thing that happened. "I don't go by Katherine, why would I introduce myself to you has Katherine." She asked this to herself before hearing laugh that sounded like when chimes. Looking up at Victoria, she couldn't help but flinch a way from her as everything started to sink in. "You are a fae and I just gave you my real name." Katherine whispered as her hands shook.

The being named Victoria just smirked at her as her form shifted to a more elegant being that did not fit working in a travel agency. Her emerald and silver dress draped over her body like a waterfall of vines as she moved to pick up her cup of tea. "I really wish you humans kept up the habit of telling real fairytales instead of those happy go luck Disney movies" Victoria said with a touch of annoyance and dark amusement. She then reached into her bag and pulled out a contract. "You should sign this in two places. At the top right and bottom right" she said as she slapped a pen into Katherine's hand. Katherine knew deals with Faes never ended well but was already beyond screwed so she signed the contract without bothering to read it.

Victoria smiled happily, even if the smile didn't reach her eyes as she took the contract from Katherine. Grabbing Katherine's wrist Victoria set the cuffs for her departure into a new like. "May I at least be happy?" Katherine asked with tears slowly running down her face. "The happiest you'll ever be, that I can promise you." Victoria said as she patted Katherine's shoulder gently and pushed the tea over to her. "Drink your tea, the journey will be quite dehydrating once it starts." Katherine just nodded and did as she was told.

Victoria excitedly got everything together as she prepared her portals. She looked back the human woman Katherine and with a dark grin changed the woman's form in a beautiful black wolfhound. "I think it's time you finally got a chance to be at peace. You will make a great familiar for one of Guardians followers and maybe if you are good, you'll get a body back." Victoria said as she took half of Katherine's life energy and soul. With a dark smile that should nerve be seen on such a pretty face, Victoria pushed Katherine through the portal and closed it. "Thank you for the unexpected gift Emerald, she will be treated well....Also Victoria really? Out of all the names to pick." The Guardian whispered from the darkness with a chuckle before fading away. Emerald pouted at Guardian's little comment before going to clean up her area as she felt a new soul call to her. Ah a soul I can actually punish for once she thought as she made her way happily to the front of the agency. Her workers laughing darkly as they danced temptation from their lips. "Greetings, this is Icarus Travels, here to help your journey to what your heart desires most and to help you fight off the fear of falling."

Dedicated to my favorite emerald @virtuallyinsane who's been a fun little journey getting to know 😘💞

[thelastspeecher]

I just had an idea for a McGucket AU. What if Stan and Angie decided to send Danny and Daisy to summer camp. The girls are all excited with Stan's stories about fun activities, fun food, outdoor and indoor adventures! But when the girls tell Ford about where they're going for the summer, Ford gives them stories of mean girls, bullies, bugs that crawl all over you while you sleep, drill sergeant like counselors! The girls then cry to Stan and Angie begging them to not to send them to camp!

Awwww, that's adorable.

Angie would chew Ford out for scaring the girls like that, esp since they were so excited to go before Ford talked to them. Ford defends himself, saying that he had horrible experiences at summer camp, and Angie tells him that his experiences are not universal.

Angie and Stan make Ford apologize to his adorable nieces for scaring them, and try to get him to take back his words. But Ford refuses to lie to his nieces.

Stan doesn't want to lose the money they spent to send the girls to camp, though, and tells the girls that if they really hate it, they can call home and get picked up.

But of course, the girls wind up loving camp and don't want to leave when camp is over.
