 better to run function pointers from a loop. That way you can operate as long

 this is how I write trello cards or tickets.
 
 and yes, before you ask, modding this game is a constant struggle because the
 mod tools are... minimal... so you must work around various challenges by, for
 example, adding 1680 different "events" that must be checked every single turn
 for every single province on the map.
A trello card describing a proposed change to a video game mod that has only one person working on it. It's essentially documentation. It is written in a professional style with several sections - the first lists the "current behavior", the second shows the intended behavior (with a small section for the intended effects of the intended behavior), and the third major section lists the proposed solutions in as much detail as possible without writing the code itself.

 I've messed around with Bevy and the library most similar in C is Raylib. in
 Lua it'd be Love2D I think.
 
 I love the idea of those systems. I haven't built a full game using them but I
 can conceptualize operations within them easier using a framework like that
 versus a game engine like Godot.

 this is the simplest implementation of scalable anarchism I could think of.
 tell me how it's flawed so I can improve it before I need it.
algorism is a political and economic philosophy designed to wrest power from those who may be corrupted by it, and restore dignity and agency to all of humanity.  It accomplishes this through several layers of abstraction, of votes, of control, of decisions. What do people need? How could we improve? Is there something more we could do?  The idea is to negate bureaucracy by accomplishing goals in an ad-hoc fashion rather than rely on legalism for institutional execution. Projects, not operations.  Society shall be organized into tiers of rotating peers chosen by vote. Each tier sends their top two most voted for up a level to the next tier of organization. the duty of each tier is to provide for the needs and accomplish the demands of each of their lower tier allies. In addition they should provide what they can to their representatives, who offer them on the tier above.  If a need or demand cannot be met by the team of reps, the request is passed upward. This process can be accomplished with paper and pencil, but it's much better to automate and be public.  If desired, there is a queue system to help with the allocation of resources. This system rewards patience and conservation while still allowing for rapid acquisition. Pick two: good, cheap, fast.  It includes also a recycling system - the more you give back in clean and working order, the greater the options available to you.  It is a system of distribution, not control.

 if you want to make hope, you start with families and braid them together.
 
 just be careful, for the world is too vast to keep track of who knows what.
 better in my mind to have systems of familiar forces which keep guiding as
 things align.

 Hell yeah. I can't help but wonder if there's a more universal solution on the
 horizon that will work for every game, using idk a raspberry pi zero or
 something? I'm into hardware but not that much so forgive my insolence. Seeing
 these purpose-built PCBs applied toward historical preservation and
 utilization of forward thinking retro gaming technology fills my heart with
 joy.

 all you need for mouse buttons is alt ctrl and... shift
 
 then bind shift to everything that you can.
 
 can also bind backspace and delete if you have enough keys
