@Kaplin867+Day 89 / 365
man today was unpreferred at best 😭 in class im taking, i did my presentation last week before everyone else (because im so goated) and today the teacher made me come up to the front of the class for whatever reason, and asked me about raspberry pi since that was like the first slide of my presentation (from a kano computer kit might i add). he was asking things like what operating system it used, what ram it had, things like that. I did not know such info. anyways after class once i got home i played some ultrakill then i worked on a group project for computer science. one slight issue. its due tommorow at midnight right. my group has done NOTHING!!!!! i atleast worked on one of the java classes, but since everyone on the team needed to help, we all are (we havent yet.) going to chose a class to do. so now im sorta waiting for another person to fix up a few of the other classes so then it gets completed. by the time i finished my homework, i recorded some vocal samples for a friend of mine's joke song. I then sorta just watched my friend play danganronpa for the rest of the day lol.
to recap: I looked like a fool AND didnt do anything productive (in terms of personal projects)! rats! however playing games helps learn game design so maybe its not that bad
@Kaplin867+Day 88 / 365
Today was exhausting. Me and my family had breakfast with a family friend who was in town. and at dinner time, we had dinner with my cousins. anyways outside of that i sorta just chilled a bit. Worked on one turret to try and get the animations better. Currently, the game works by having buildings with a "input" item and "output" item, and am now considering if i should just switch to having one standalone "inventory" value. Main reason i say that is because right now the tile moves the input item visually from input side to output side, but once it reaches the output slot, the progress value is set to 0, visually showing the item back at the start. I want to add the single slot system, but i fear that might cause frame-unmovements for certain tiles, and also making it harder to implement things like storage blocks later down the line. decisions, decisions...
I also got my rejection email from the hackclub internship. I didnt get a inperson internship, or an online internship, but my event idea did get forwarded to the flavortown sidequest peeps. So theres still a possibility. we will have to wait and see. Either way, this ysws will be done one way or another!!

Today I had a hackclub meeting! I uh sorta had to wing it again since i didnt have any material planned, so I followed this cute village tutorial on jams.hackclub.com with my club. It actually turned out really good! Though another thing was for some reason the library was double booked and had a big lego event happening in the room i had scheduled, so my club got moved to the library's giant auditorium! wasnt the best since it made it harder to move to my members to help them. I also played around with hytale world gen today. i think i figured out rivers, and its painfully simple (subtracting a constant number from the density lowers it a few blocks, so i just do that to apply the river physically using noise, then fill it by replacing air in a certain density with water). Only issue is that it is far from realistic, but it might make a good tutorial later. infact i should probably redo my hytale tutorials since a handful of things have changed.

@Kaplin867+Day 86 / 365
Its kaplin(86) day!! yay!!!!!! anyways in one of my classes today i was the only one with a presentation finished so i had to present when nobody else was. though it was a pecha kucha (20 slides 20 seconds each) about my game dev journey so it wasnt THAT stressful. Anyways when I got home I finished up that overdose awareness game for my mom. After that I tried to make a utauloid of myself because that sounded funny. though I was having some technical difficulties and sorta gave up when i was pulled away from the computer for dinner. Rest of the day i sorta just felt tired. Sadly didnt do all that much. The hackclub summer internships came in, and i didnt get in. But there will likely be other opportunities, plus i might just host the ysws myself in the summer. also going forward i will be trying to add little doodles of my character guy oc thing every post based on what i wrote, since its day 86
@qwwertyz0day 85

After my friend left and I did my homework I got to work on a game my mother tasked me with making for one of her academic things. Basically a overdose awareness game. I mostly accepted because 1. I like making games 2. The game idea sounded easy enough 3. I dont remember the last time ive actually developed a game from a plan by someone else. It was quite fun though my mom could have maybe put a bit more effort in the plan lol. Anyways dont do drugs kids, and especially dont overdose.
Also played the new cookie run game (Cookie Run: Oven Smash) its interesting, but as a long term fan of the franchise it feels weird not having a concrete world-level system
Tommorow is day 86, and also when the hackclub internships come in.
@Kaplin867+Day 84 / 365
Oh no I'm late 😭 anyways I coded a bit more in one turret and made the switch from items being stored as strings to resources, to fix how items were displayed in the game. I am having a friend sleepover again so uh here's a photo of my (other) cat
@qwwertyz0day 83
• diner in the storm is an awesome game, took me like an hour to beat and I got emotional beating it while listening to undertale(#C09899A10V6), also started learning undertale(quite funny how invested I am in the music while never having playing the game. task for in the summer) I have to say undertale OST is FIRE just like genshin:fireball:
• eco test also went ok
@christian0flavortown project 😄
so am makning a bot for the hack club streaming platform!
hackclub.tv
i have worked on making
env work so i dont hard code it
a coinflip cmd!
and a random zach latta quote command using a old api made “zapi-seven.vercel.app/quote/random”
where i also had to find out how to make it not be the same quote everytime but i found out i could just put it in the @bot.command and then it loads the api everytime and gives a new one :D
i also made sum boring debuging like when it goes on the channel it prints 67
and a simple ?ping cmd that just says its on buddy and prints for logs
this is made using a vibe coded wrapper i made .D

@Kaplin867+Day 83 / 365
Lowkey I didnt really do anything... I did some homework but I didnt even do a lot of that. my day was just: Wake up late (i did not have school today yippe) (i forgot to set a timer), play a bit, then eat lunch, then do a tiny bit of homework, then drive and do some errands + eat dinner, then get home and be tasked with doing things like cleaning and then just chilling for the rest. Doesn't help that I had two things I wanted to work on in particular now that im not all that busy :heavysob: anyways on a happier note I ate cheesecake sampler from walmart it was tasty (the cookies and cream one was for some reason bad..???? like how do you mess that up). Also in the minecraft server stuff im helping with, they played a fun little game in the discord server with all the people waiting for the release where you had to guess 3 pokemon based on emojis. You had to get all 3 right in a row, with no indication which was wrong. I somehow one both times!!
3 more days until day 86
@SakG0Day 82:
• Completed BrowseWithAI.

• It just ruined my whole day.. Will never do again, I assure!!
@j7jhj0Godot’s parallax is being funky again brother than that, the drawing is finished
@Kaplin867+Day 82 / 365
I didn't have that much homework (probably since i just got off spring break) so i had plenty of time today! I chilled and played some games, bug tested my two of my friend's game, and also worked on one turret! Im doing a task ive been anticipating for a while, which is rewriting one turrets main script, which dates back to roughly 2 years ago. It is really bad. over 1400. doesnt sound that bad, but its mostly the contents thats the issue. that chunk of code handled too much stuff, like tile placing, tile simulation, loading all the tile, type, and recipe data, handling enemy cash reward, handling waves (not the spawning), having death screen, and even more junk. Plus a lot of stuff is hardcoded in there too. Im remaking the system from the ground up (sorta), where its the same script but broken up into multiple nodes. So far I got through a simple tile manager, simulation manager, and rendering manager. This new system, rather than hardcoding behaviors, will now contact external static scripts to figure out what to do. I got conveyors working in this new system :) making changes to this system later will be MUCH easier too! the new system also fixes a visual bug thats ALWAYS been in the game where the item will dissapear for a frame when jumping conveyors. video attached is what i got so far (conveyors slowed down for demonstration purposes)
also only a few days until day 86! :yay: get it because like kaplin86 okay i will see myself out thank you@460093616flavortown.hackclub.com/projects/18034
@py6600Taking a break from Type/JavaScript and going back to Java to make a combat log timer plugin (HAHA NOT A MOD THIS TIME): TIL about ConcurrentModificationExceptions, and how to use an Iterator to avoid it!
@MinglangDu0Did some usaco and other competitive programming
@rmfosho0got image metadata read properly using id3js! also got websockets working for connecting to main server, should be interesting finally getting it to communicate with the ai server 😄
@IshikaKumar0✨ hey hey! test players needed for my game! ✨

@JomarMilan0A few days ago, I discovered TiddlyWiki. It looks like software that's perfect for the way I'd like to take notes! Typesetting programs like Typst and word processors are good for single documents, but not for multiple linking documents like I'd prefer to take notes in. I also don't like block-based text edtiors, and I'm pretty sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I despise taking notes in Markdown, which I've noticed is used a lot by note-taking software. With TiddlyWiki I get to use the capable WikiText syntax and access the wiki wherever I bring the file, as long as it has a web browser! With a USB stick I'm able to access my wiki on any of my computers or even public computers like at the local library without downloading anything or logging into any accounts, which is great! It reminds me of MediaWiki, but I think that for a single user's notes, TiddlyWiki is a lot more practical.
I also like it's customizability! Like MediaWiki, you can extend its functionality with plugins and use custom stylesheets. I've already started using both features. I wrote a plugin for TiddlyWiki which lets you encrypt tiddlers independently and by tag. The core TiddlyWiki only allows you to encrypt the entire wiki. There's a plugin with similar functionality, Encrypt Tiddler Plugin by Daniel, but in my opinion my version is more intuitive. It's also possible to have different placeholder texts set in my version!
