day 27 • 2 more subjects to go... I'm so ready to give up:sleep-wx: • I wanted to make a new game, roulette gave me a 2d isometric exploration digital game so instead of studying I wrote 700 words of lore and no code. 👀basically you're from the west coast, after exploring you finally come across to the east side and suddenly you discover a new continent in the sky(see concept art). upon rising up you discover the last human beings protecting this world from the Fading • watching pixel, can't wait to watch horror movie together w my friends on thursday:walter-white: • da bomb

Day 27(or 6) • Fought with oracle again and got it to work, only to realize that I need to either relocate my entire frontend for my game servers, or expose port 80 on my home net :why: • More (but not enough) work on my factory game. I thought I was done with conveyors, but no, im not. They still dont properly handle being rotated :cryin: I already spent 5 hours trying to make damn conveyors, I dont want to spend more. • Started rewatching Andor (great show, go watch it lol) • Played a few games, but not much because I spent like 4 hours watching Andor • SNOW DAY AGAIN ◦ I feel very conflicted because on one hand, yes snow days are awesome, but on another, we now have two exams on the same day (supposed to be separate days) and I have way less time to finish our robot before the competiton on saturday. ALSO GODOT 4.6 IS AMAZING (don't think I mentioned it yesterday) Pretty good day, I'll attach a video of the current state of my conveyors (if anyone has advice, it would be greatly appreciated):

Day 26 (or 5) Fought with Oracle Cloud for port access stuff. Did a bunch of work on my factory game. That took most of my day lol. Also did some studying for my history exam! Snow day was nice. Vid is broken conveyors from my game lol

day 26 • I gotta start remembering to post • 5 tests down, 3 to go • managed to slap this poster together in 2 hours. I might have been better off studying but then again... I want my project to be on there. I'm proud of what I made as a first timer but I don't really like it. probably also bc I had a reference in mind that was 1000 times better than this one • lots of ups and downs last week. presentations + interview + test + competitions + personal stuff. THE GRIND CONTINUES • it's cold AF :sad_pepe:

Day 18/365 im so tired Tasks I made progress on: • Khrome ◦ Added SFX and a SFX system ◦ Added UI to display the current level ◦ Made two levels - one significantly simpler than the other... Streaks • Journal ✅ • Reflection ✅ • Commits ✅ • Medicines :red-x: :tired: Reflection Mood: 4/5 Productivity: 3/5 Today was overall a sleepy day. Got some quality lock-in time in the evening though, so managed to finish some of the smaller stuff. All that's left to do is make the levels then ship the game for V1! Speaking of levels... Introducing the monstrosity known as Carousel Part 2. Half the obstacles aren't even visible. My last two braincells can't figure out how to make it work without angling the sun, which makes it practically impossible to control the player's landing. Maybe when I wake up in the morning I'll know what to do.

day 28 of 50 days to 2026!!! I got to do a long study sesh with a few friends focusing on Calc and C++ which was fun. One of my friends ended up writing out a hilarious short story prompt for a program that we wrote to test all of our concepts. I also released bore today with a youtube video for it! It is a super fancy reverse proxy tunnel manager like ngrok but running entirely on my own infra! It is based around the open source frp software which is great on its own but a bit annoying to use in the oneshot command type way I was used to with ngrok. I wrapped the client cli in a nice gum interface and used nix to package it with a super fancy man page and shell completions! Bore also has a really cool dashboard at bore.dunkirk.sh which shows active tunnels and how much data has been transferred along them as well as a few other stats. It also has a really fancy 404 page which I'm quite proud of. Also working on my shell config I setup zmx which is a light weight tmux alternative that just keeps persistant sessions. It works quite well for my needs and I also set up ssh pooling so connections are next to instant now! I also did a bit of work on crush adding support for refreshing api keys whenever encountering 401 errors. I also whipped up a quick nix flake for it as well and got that working! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ztWxaYOL7E

Day 18/50: • Made a projects page for my personal website - it still needs some work though. • Finally, FINALLY got Milkyway Pets working for macOS (I hope - I haven't been able to confirm whether it works) • Practiced clarinet for ~30-35 minutes. It's the first time I've played since I got sick, but I really want to make a habit of practicing most days. • Went out and practiced driving in the evening - I felt a lot more confident that last time (actually, less terrified might be more accurate) • Realised that I'd lost my 33-day Anki streak :noooovanish: After spending my last month with exams looming over my shoulder, it feels so weird to have all this time to myself. I still want to manage my time better than I have in the past, and avoid spending too much time on YT and Slack - hopefully these goals can be reminders for future me.

Day 12 of :50days:: • Posted the Windows and Linux builds for Milkyway Pets in #C09EZSEMB16| in order to get some feedback before I ship it. I got a lot of feedback and have learnt a lot from getting it into the hands of other people for the first time. Some of the issues I've noticed: a. Use a makefile to automate the build process. Automated testing is hard to make work in this context, but it would also be useful. b. Improve the config experience: Already partially there! The program now looks for a config file in the same directory as the program, and the program come with a template for the config file. I'm considering moving away from TOML to something simpler and more forgiving with user errors. c. Get rid of the Space-to-toggle-window-decorations thing. It's confusing, and being able to drag the window should be the default on most platforms. It's still needed on Wayland, since they can't set their own position. d. Better error handling: Currently errors either get ignored or are printed to the console. The windows users found this a bit confusing since they aren't running it from the terminal, so a graphical error window would be useful. e. Better installation guide: When I finally ship this project, it needs to have a good guide to installation and usage, since running the program requires you to find both your Hackatime API key and a :milkyway: Session ID. Somebody had an issue with getting their sessionid cookie, but I couldn't replicate it. A backup method would be useful just in case. • Studied for my Japanese exam tomorrow. I focused on listening, which I've been neglecting up until now. I'm not feeling the greatest about tomorrow, but I'll give it my best shot :salute: • Did a practice exam for my licence test tomorrow and got a cool clean calm and collected 100% LETS GOOOO!! 💥 💥 ‼️ I'm either gonna sit the exam tomorrow or the day after, depending on how I'm feeling.

50 days challenge ❄️ Daily update #12 | Streak: 12 days! I went to support my teammates today at a debate tournament, since I couldn't compete myself --- I had my chem exam on the first day of rounds, which were mandatory to attend. We worked on a lot of prep together! Here's the blurred brainstorm document :3 I took a break after I got home since it was far away and I was absolutely exhausted, will lock in and work on stuff Sunday!

Day 10/:50days:! I'm still feeling sick, but it's getting better and I think it'll be gone by Monday. I set pretty low expectations for myself today, but I did more than I thought I would so that feels good. • I wrote an about me page for my new personal website! I lowkey dread writing but once I got in the flow it was pretty fun! • I went through a past reading paper for Japanese. To get the the most points you basically need to be understanding everything and including it in your answer + analysing the implications or subtext. I can translate the text easily, but it's that deeper understanding and being able to use that information to answer the questions that I find harder. I don't think this counts as study, but I watched the film Happyend with subtitles and really enjoyed it. • Did practice tests for my licence exam - I'm feeling more and more confident that I'll be able to pass :) • Did a little work on my game.
