The latest version includes a few new enhancements, and an experiment: The sequencer demo uses inventory instances to hold music notes, which can be played back. This was inspired by music trackers that were popular in the 90s, such as Scream Tracker and Impulse Tracker. The sequencer isn’t meant to be a production-ready digital audio workstation replacement. It’s a proof of concept, but it does show off the flexibility of the inventory system.
I’ve transcribed a track I created in Ableton Live about a decade ago. This is included in the Inventory System demo project:
The features:
Added a GGInventorySimpleUI with fewer bells and whistles.
GGInventory now supports multiple sorting strategies, which the UI automatically picks up
Stack splitting with middle mouse button or action input
A new sequencer demo that uses inventories to hold track notes in item data.
Of course, we also have bug fixes:
Expiration extension handles scenes without an owner (such as dynamically assembled scenes)
Inventory allows setting the scroll container’s custom minimum size
The Inventory UI correctly selects the configured view upon start

I use an app called barrier. It allows you to share your mouse and keyboard with multiple devices. I use it, because I tend to have my laptop and Macbook sitting next to my PC, and it makes working across all devices very convenient. It’s a mix of a multi-monitor and multi-computer setup. Concept Your …
This release improves weight management. Inventories can now configure an option weight limit, and item stacking and item transfer strategies are weight-aware. The crafting demo and crafting mechanic in the inventory tour have been improved. Auto-crafting is limited to the crafting slide, so that items don’t automatically and unexpectedly get crafted while stepping through the …
Ever had the problem where you’re firing a bullet or some kind of projectile at high speeds, and it just goes right through the collision object, instead of hitting it? Here’s a weapon that fires a bullet at random velocities, to demonstrate the issue: The bullets impact the character in various places, rather than at …
