Fennel’s feathery foliage isn’t just edible—it’s a stunning addition to flower borders. Try pairing Florence fennel or common fennel with lavender, roses, irises, or sedums for a bold and beautiful mix of form and function. A great way to blend food and flair in your garden! #EdibleGarden #Fennel

Continued thread

I ended up adding simple graphics and multiple Z-levels as well. Texture perspective is still wrong, but I don't care.

I'm actually very pleasantly surprised how well Love2D has handled everything I've so far decided to throw at it. The implementation is incredibly naive, it just relies on cell order and overdraw to create a faux 3D space.

It's been a fun diversion, but as always, do I make something with it? Or just stuff this in the drawer like everything else...

I wanted to figure out how old school blobber RPGs work, so I implemented a grid-based first-person dungeon renderer in Love2D and Fennel.

Naturally, since wall information is hard to represent in textual data, I just made this prototype into an ad-hoc level editor.

Perspective is still a bit off, but I'm pretty happy how this turned out!

Fennel is a vegetable that feels like it should be a Summer vegetable but it is definitely at its best in Winter. It is delicious raw, in salads or nibbled while you potter in the kitchen.

But it is also very good when cooked. It loses its strong aniseed taste and becomes creamy and delicious. Baked, grilled, pan fried, simmered into soups or blended into purees. It really is an underutilised vegetable in Australia.
