Yayayayayay Posts – Hack Club Scrapbook

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.

Finally added SSAO to my OpenGL renderer! (which was the whole point of setting up a deferred renderer). It's a subtle effect, but it definitely improves the depth perception of the scene and now runs acceptably fast.

Day 3 1. A bit of fraud stuff 2. Got some study done for Level 3 Economics, my exam is on Monday! 3. Went out for the afternoon with some mates 4. PBTech Black Friday! 5. Got a headset and a DJI Mic for making content for hackathons I run! Also won a free 10k mAH powerbank! 6. Went to the run club I normally go to a. Went out for dinner after this, it was super useful talking about startup stuff with a few people, we're all pretty focused on the end goal - they're all in their early 20s so it's interesting to talk to them about it! biggest thing I can take from the convo is take risks, do dumb shit while you can - people pay more attention if you're younger and will give you more opportunities. 7. Just got home now at 12am, had incredible talks, a great dinner, and it's real nice to do this every week and meet people as obsessed as building things as myself! 8. Other then this it was a typical day, need to do more work on #C08HX0F11BP| and #C07KRNHG339| tomorrow after a well deserved sleep in.
