Day 11 — Farming Loop Foundations

Context

Today marked the beginning of the farming gameplay loop.

Tile Lifecycle

• Tiles now support the full farming lifecycle:
  • Empty → Hole → Planted → Growing

Tool Behaviors

• Shovel digs holes.
• Seeds plant crops.
• Watering Can waters planted crops.

Growth Simulation

• Crops progress using timestamps stored at planting. The world_time_component now drives multi-day growth.

Summary

What I accomplished:

• Implemented the basic farming loop.
• Added tool behaviors for planting and watering.
• Built time-based crop stage progression.

What I learned:

• Time-based systems need careful persistence handling.
• Tile state transitions must remain deterministic.
