This release switches the default storage engine to #ParquetDB. Game history now takes around 1/20 as much of your hard drive as it did with SQLite.

Just released version 0.19.0 of #Lisien, the time-traveling rules engine for life simulation games in #Python.

This release switches the default storage engine to #ParquetDB. In practice, game history takes around 1/20 as much of your hard drive as it did with SQLite.

I did a lot of refactoring for this release, finding and fixing loads of mysterious crashes.

Get it in your Python interpreter with python -m pip install lisien elide, or download on #itchio: https://clayote.itch.io/lisien/devlog/924265/v0190-small-files
