Released the first build of my very WIP game. It's a snake inspired survival game where you collect creatures called pebokins to your line to defend against enemies. Rn u can only make your line bigger and kill ur pebokins by hitting either the walls or your own parade. piksal.itch.io/pebokin-parade

Made my library be in an all accessible form, a website. I have used flask to connect the library with HTML and I think it works fine. It needs a bit of polishing and fixing of some bugs, but it is a great start.

Finally made the AI interface with the lua scripts! It still is a pain to train, since im on a laptop with no gpu (yay) but t5-flan-base is pretty ok to use for something like this. I also figured out a way to stream and download youtube videos at the same time ( i fully ripped off the script from one of my previous projects though, its pretty much just an improved version of that) github.com/LibreNetwork-dev/Clara/commit/41083de0252896af70e3b7b333ac4df3b2aa0bea

Day 3: I procrastinated on the neighborhood project again 😔 Yesterday was pretty packed tho. I did more research into Meshtastic nodes and decided to go with Femtofox! Their hardware looks solid, but sadly they’ve got this proprietary “Pro” edition that has extra features compared to the open-source one. Tbh I wouldn’t mind supporting them and paying for the hardware, but they’re out of stock 😭 The difference isn’t that huge though, so I’ll probably just roll with the free version and pay for PCB manufacturing myself. I also got an automatic water dispenser for my cat recently, and it’s really annoying. It allows only a maximum of one water refill every 6 hours (drains the old water and pumps in fresh), but the waste bin fills up in just 2 days... For something that’s supposed to be convenient, it’s kina not 💀 My first idea was to just manually power it on, press the “refresh” touch button, and turn it back off. But that defeats the entire point, it would honestly be faster to just dump out a normal water bowl and refill it by hand.. So I cracked the device open, soldered a wire to the capacitive pad that triggers the manual refill, and tested it by shorting to GND, and it worked! Now I just need to hook up a microcontroller to simulate that GND trigger, and maybe add a relay or transistor inline with the battery to control the whole thing automatically :-)

Day 2: I didn’t get much work done on the neighborhood project today. Instead, I spent my morning recording a devlog video. Then, I helped a friend with his Proxmox container setup and did some maintenance on my home lab. After that, I got a bit distracted and placed an order on JLCPCB to manufacture my old project from The Trail. I broke mine during the hike, and I wanted to show my parents what I built and keep it as a souvenir. 👀 Then, I got inspired to run a local Meshtastic node in my town and connect with another friend. I’m going to meet with him tomorrow and give him the hardware since I already have some leftover from the early prototyping of my Trail project. I don’t think I’ve shared pictures of my home lab yet, so here they are! (I took them with Project Indigo, my new favorite camera app I discovered today.)
