Lazy day + was busy with Eid al fitr, but I did do some tweaks with the PCB. Ran the DRC and i got 0 errors or violations which is neat. Just need to keep tweaking until it makes sense. Also forgot to add a diode for the charging module 😭 😭 😭 have a feeling thats important...

MOORE editing my PCB! Kinda confused myself with the vias, turns out you dont need them when your PCB is only two copper layers and you got through hole pads. Fun!

Today I started workin on the PCB of one my projects. Honestly, I'm at least 90% sure I'm doing this wrong, but the fun thing about learning is making dumb mistakes and trying again.

Chaotic day - went to go do a LEGO tournament... it was carnage. From the teacher's minibus getting a flat tyre to lego flying all over the place - I'd never seen anything like it. We didn't win but we came quite close i guess 😭

Today's usaco practice. This was definitely harder than I thought it would be, so it consumed most of my time. Learned quite a lot from the ~5 failed submissions and draft algorithms though.

My first scrapbook post!! I'm trying to refresh my memory for electronics (and using the pi pico -- its been ages since I've used it). Starting simple and building up to finishing off some of my old projects.

Working on the main game ui for my school final project. JavaFX is definitely a different type of library than I've ever used, but the fxml system is fantastic.

again, working on sdl_engine, my Vulkan Game Engine! This time, I was busy finding a way organizing Nodes while lifting some of the heavy work off of the Engine. To make everything more seamless! Introducing: SceneTrees! This class will help the Engine in easily locating relevant Cameras/Lights. Next update will be focused on making this rewrite actually work with the existing foundation. Sketch in comments!

I could only do one problem for USACO silver. I'll practice more for next time, as the problems were very difficult.

I didn't share this here yet but I came back from a month long break from my Vulkan Game Engine and started heavy work on the Nodes, planning to work on Materials and PBR lighting very soon! sdlengine is a project I made initially to learn more about graphics and perhaps even make a game very later down the road. It's written in C++ and <https://github.com/BurntRanch/sdlengine/tree/rewrite|this> is the repo, rewrite is the branch I'm working on If it's not obvious, this is highly based off of Godot, Their system is very nice, I have very high hopes for this!
