v0.21.3 you can start games on Android again

good news I'm able to make like a few example games!! unfortunately sometimes things crash and I'm not too sure what's causing it too. which would cause me to lose everything and have to completely restart. I feel like my games are very rudimentary and I want to do more with the engine but I don't have examples of how far the engine can go and I'm really not code literate... I also sometimes get crashes for dragging and dropping Things from the picture box, I am playing this on my Android pad/ tablet so some things are kind of hard to see I don't know if it's the screen resolution just messing with me,

I also hate how committal I have to be with rules and actions as I can't rearrange anything so a lot of my example games are like just more alphabetical order versions of previous example games...

it would help a lot if there was just more like demos of what a game would look like as a lot of crashes could just be my fault and not correctly closing or not correctly implementing things...

My humans would discover fire and then never want to go back to sleep😭😭😭

Ah, I did write some examples, but they're not in the Android build! Silly me.

Here, this is a zip file containing a variant sim of the Parable of the Polygons example from the README:

Here's another zipped sim demonstrating pathfinding and some really basic user input:

You should be able to use the "Import game" button to load these into Elide on Android. Let me know if anything weird happens, and do try to get the elide directory full of log files zipped and uploaded somewhere I can get it.

There is a feature in the backend that lets you change the priority of rules. I just haven't exposed it in the frontend yet. Since it turns out you need it, I'll work on it.

oooh! I have to be honest not too sure what that means. Does I relate to me using the tablet or do you mean just Android all together?

Either way I'm excited for an update

Ok, so, "the backend" is the `lisien` module for Python. Pretty soon it'll be running in like a web server or something, but I've put it in the same process as Elide, the Android app you're using, for now. And that backend already has the feature you want, so the next update only requires me to write code for the buttons and stuff...not necessarily trivial to do, but it doesn't require any major changes to the data model or the overall design. So like, give me a week or so and I'll have a new release out with that feature and at least a log viewer.
