today : 1. made braidsbuddy (very funny backstory, im currently undoing my braids and i wanted to do hatsune miku hair coloured braids next but i couldn't find the braid colour name so i thought why not make something that could help me do that) its kinda not complete because i used x-pression braids naming system which isnt universal so im going to need to add other braiding hair providers + their naming systems + also i didnt add the miku braiding hair since its not on x-pression but once i add the new stuff imma add it :D 2. did added my stuff to crates.io (ch. 14) nothing fancy lol. it was super cool seeing what ppl are making on the new crates section 3. athena nairobi - havent done much on this today since im waiting for a couple of stuff to be done

🚢 BOIDS! 🚢 Have you ever looked at birds in the sky and wondered... I wonder what the mathematical calculations for there movement were? You probably haven't but if you have, that's a real thing! It's called Boids. It's based on 3 rules (separation, cohesion, alignment) and can make some movements that look like schools of fish 🐟 or bird 🐦 movement, it can even make really satisfying timelapses! So over the last week-ish I decided to make a pygame script to simulate these Boids and create a program to see these mesmerizing patterns thats a mix between art and music! You can check out the code (and compile it yourself to run) here (give it a star maybe :p) , if you want to read more about boids, the wikipedia page is pretty good and there are a bunch of articles about it. I'll try to host a 24/7 <https://youtube.com/live/xwIw1qobiUw?feature=share|stream> for as long as possible if anyone wants to see it in action!

more of a behind-the-scenes Mosaic update today! I made the widget code reusable, which should make adding new widgets wayyyyy faster and the code much easier to maintain!

let's hope this pays off for the one hour I spent trying to figure out how to make a $bindable $<http://derived.by|derived.by>

(i ended up giving in and using an effect)

I fixed the dashboard and added a basic /newscribble page in Codeboard today. I've also been working on cobraracing.ie for the last while.

Today I worked on the main menu, and gameplay loop - the idea is that you lose money by dying (in the hard platformer levels), and gain money via collecting coins by fighting enemies (in the inbetween levels). This means that I will have two types of level - spiky and dangerous platformer-style levels, and levels with a bunch of enemies and decoration where the player can replenish their coins (at their own risk) by killing enemies. I also added some more sound effects, and some ui animations. Next is a soundtrack and some polish (backgrounds and more vfx and stuff). For some reason the logo didn't show up in the recording:

In addition to my previous two screens for my hackapet, I also finished the Box room and updated the TV room with new art. I also added a mouse sensing and fixed text writing. Fixed bug where you can change TV without interacting with it.

I spent a lot of time redoing one of my old Java CLI projects... but this time as a GUI, as I couldn't figure out how to properly convert my CLI bank account into a GUI app, or think of new features to add to my cookie clicker clone. This tested my patience the most out of any project I have built so far as I kept squashing and making bugs for what seemed to be hours, and having to go through trial and error many times as I teach myself how the Swing library works. There is still a lot of work to be done, and I have had to essentially rewrite everything from my old simple CLI program except a few switch statements for questions which had to be modified and moved what was not what I expected going into this. I am also in the process of methodizing the code from the single static block as it is a lot more versatile in CLI and necessary for GUI apps.

aah! finally!

It's once again been a little while since the last update! I've added the ability to load scenes (with a custom file format to describe objects within the scene). In order to test this, I created a few scenes with a couple objects each, and I also added Bob-Omb Battlefield as a little bonus. I also fixed the bug where parented objects would rotate incorrectly, which was due to a lack of radian to degree conversion when setting rotation on an object.

Exam week is finally over! Today I added some coins to my game, with some more vfx, some more sounds, font rendering (with SDL_ttf), some ui improvements, leaves (particles that fall from the trees and stuff, kinda hard to see with all of the coins), and did some debugging (another seg fault waah). Next I am planning to add some lava, music and a main menu (finally). github.com/snej55/paper-world
