The latest version of the inventory system is available and includes refinements for the interaction demo and the main tour.
New features:
The action strategy now handles use_item action and defaults to use for double-clicks.
The interaction demo now includes expirations for the various storage boxes
The tour has a notification UI that shows item use and drops
In the inventory transfer view, double-click defaults to transfer_item, instead of use_item.
Inventory Item quantity prefixed with ‘x’
We’ve also got a handful of bug fixes:
When switching the inventory’s item_scene, all previous slots are removed (so different slot scenes don’t end up together)
The expiration extension waits for scene owner to be ready before starting to apply expirations
The inventory’s drop_item() call no longer attempts to drop empty slots
Removed debug output from Inventory UI demo
Added default drag-and-drop and filter strategies to Inventory UI
Removed extra _refresh_slots() call from inventory controller for minor performance gains

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 …

A little while ago, I created a type of AudioManager to make it easier to work with sound files in bulk: Rather than assigning audio streams by hand, I was doing it programmatically; reading the contents of a directory and using load() to get the resources. It worked great and saved a lot of time …
