I created "devices in software" (slaves) for my process control sofware before getting the actual devices; polling them for "real time data" to chart, etc.

When trying to illustrate by example my super-duper library, I found that in addition to this being surprisingly difficult, also that (1) parts of my interface were illogical and (2) a huge chunk of functionality was missing. So, I had to go back to the workbench and code. Six months later I found it a lot easier to write the examples and instructions. It seems that test-first gives your code one kind of perfection, while explain-at-last will take your code to yet another level. Thus the two cycles, test-code and explain-code, seems to complement each other.

In a subsequent post I wrote something similar.

For a graphic UI as broad as UIX library I would not try to cover all.
Even for simpler libraries I do not cover all functionality.
The goal of examples is imho to give enough information so people can get started.
So for the UIX I would think of the following mini applications
- metrics converter (buttons, select boxes, text boxes, ...) the underlying math is simple so wont distract.
- a color wheel selection (needs some graphics putpixel/getpixel) and maybe add an RGB LED to it.
- an icon editor, or font editor (more complex)
- a weather station - with functions that generate random data (can be a wrapper around BME280 et al)
- pong game
- fractal visualizer, e.g. tree's
- Mandelbrod set
- signal visualizer (poor mans oscilloscope)
- jpeg viewer
Then not all examples need to be available from start, take your time and add on request or when time permits.
my 2 cents

Won't be any text editors or font editors on these, as they usually have 320x240 or smaller screens, no keyboards, and kilobytes of RAM.
That said, I will consider your suggestions in light of that. Thank you.

I cut my teeth on the Commodore 64, which had 320x200, less usable memory, and no touch screen. I'm sure you could get "inspired" by looking at retro software.

And they managed to create or port games like Blue Max!
That one impressed me (graphically)

It had a keyboard. But yeah.

I always start with relational tables Alpha, Beta, Choice, Photo, and User. Beta has a foreign key to Alpha, Photo has a foreign key to Beta, Choice is for DDLs in either Alpha or Beta, All tables have foreign keys to User. Then let creativity flow.

No database in this mess I'm dealing in kilobytes of ram and very small touch screens.

Super hard
Looked it up, for some reason my head can only see the first letters as separate sounds.
I actually tried these letters in my head, but it didn't make a word

I think it was a cheeky one today because a lot of people, like me, use that as the starting word.

I got a new starting word today.

It's a good one as it contains all the vowels except "e".

The only catch is that it'll take several years to repeat, implying that it is near impossible to set your record of today (First attempt success) using this starter word.
|
|
|
|

Getting it right on the first guess kind of ruins the game because there is nothing to try and puzzle out, so I am happy not to encounter it again.
