<h1>8 what is blessfrey? </h1>
august 10, 2020<br>
<br>
<b>Blessfrey</b> is a 2D action RPG developed for PC by me, chimchooree. <br>
<br>
The game is designed to pit your skill + creativity against a series of combat + puzzle challenges while exploring the depths of the downtown dungeon. <br>
<br>
Class progression is freeform, and virtually no decision is permanent. At character creation, you will choose a permanent First Class, but you can unlock several new classes for multiclassing through gameplay. Through swapping out Second Classes, you can find a combination to express your playstyle. <br>
<br>
Each class has its own style of skills associated with it. Skills are individual powers gained through gameplay which give specific effects according to their rules. Your skillbar only has 8 skill slots and can only be edited in safe areas. The challenge comes from building winning strategies + synergies against the next area. <br>
<br>
Skills are gained through exploration of the game world. As you encounter enemies, meet people, and reach new areas, you will translate those experiences into new skills. <br>
<br>
Blessfrey has been lots of fun to work on. I hope you enjoy it once a demo and eventually a game drops. <br>

<h1>2 why bottle over php? </h1>
october 1, 2020<br>
<br>
<b>Bottle</b> is a Python framework for server-side web development.<br>
<br>
It's useful because it lets you reuse code for HTML, supports simple HTML templating, and is Python, which is a fun scripting language to use with tons of libraries.<br>
<br>
<b>PHP</b> is an old server language. It's very verbose, doesn't natively support templating, has extreme differences between versions which makes it confusing to research the fastest approaches, and its documentation is confusing. At least, amusingly, each documentation page has an open comment section underneath it, filled with conflicting and frustrated opinions, some dating back to when I was a toddler. <br>
<br>
It's still good to practice with, since it's a widely used web development language, and I feel like understanding it brings me closer to the PHP petsites of the mid-2000s which I dearly love.<br>

<h1>1 this week</h1>
september 27-october 3, 2020
bottle, css, git, html, regex, regular expressions, website<br>
<br>
<h2>wednesday, august 9</h2>
<ul>
<li>Working on the website in the first time in a while;; </li>
<li>blessfrey.me's static pages look as intended - no footer in the middle of the body, no unclosed &lt;ul&gt; tags from diary entry previews breaking the CSS.</li>
<li>w3's Nu Html Checker (lol @ the nu name) is really handy for automatically checking whether all my html tags are closed and CSS is valid, especially the parts generated through Bottle + SimpleTemplate. </li>
</ul>
<h2>thursday, october 1</h2>
<ul>
<li>blessfrey.me's diary properly displays snippets for all articles: a header taken from the title, a truncated view of the article, the date + a place for social media share links, and a link to the article.</li>
<li>Cleaning the snippets enough to look okay and not break the page was a challenge. I used regular expressions to remove html link + header tags, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags">which is apparently a lost cause Stack Overflow users stand against daily, hourly even</a>. It's not so bad if it's not user content, and the content is pretty predictable, right?
<li>Pythex @ https://pythex.org/ is useful for checking whether your regular expression will catch your target strings</li>
<li>First command line git merge. I usually do it on the website. It's really simple - switch to the branch you're merging the second branch into, type 'git merge second-branch' (second-branch = name of the second branch obviously), and fix any conflicts.</li>

<h1>2 why bottle over php? </h1>
october 1, 2020<br>
<br>
<b>Bottle</b> is a Python framework for server-side web development.<br>
<br>
It's useful because it lets you reuse code for HTML, supports simple HTML templating, and is Python, which is a fun scripting language to use with tons of libraries.<br>
<br>
<b>PHP</b> is an old server language. It's very verbose, doesn't natively support templating, has extreme differences between versions which makes it confusing to research the fastest approaches, and its documentation is confusing. At least, amusingly, each documentation page has an open comment section underneath it, filled with conflicting and frustrated opinions, some dating back to when I was a toddler. <br>
<br>
It's still good to practice with, since it's a widely used web development language, and I feel like understanding it brings me closer to the PHP petsites of the mid-2000s which I dearly love.<br>

<h1>1 this week</h1>
september 27-october 3, 2020
bottle, css, git, html, regex, regular expressions, website<br>
<br>
<h2>wednesday, august 9</h2>
<ul>
<li>Working on the website in the first time in a while;; </li>
<li>blessfrey.me's static pages look as intended - no footer in the middle of the body, no unclosed &lt;ul&gt; tags from diary entry previews breaking the CSS.</li>
<li>w3's Nu Html Checker (lol @ the nu name) is really handy for automatically checking whether all my html tags are closed and CSS is valid, especially the parts generated through Bottle + SimpleTemplate. </li>
</ul>
<h2>thursday, october 1</h2>
<ul>
<li>blessfrey.me's diary properly displays snippets for all articles: a header taken from the title, a truncated view of the article, the date + a place for social media share links, and a link to the article.</li>
<li>Cleaning the snippets enough to look okay and not break the page was a challenge. I used regular expressions to remove html link + header tags, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags">which is apparently a lost cause Stack Overflow users stand against daily, hourly even</a>. It's not so bad if it's not user content, and the content is pretty predictable, right?
<li>Pythex @ https://pythex.org/ is useful for checking whether your regular expression will catch your target strings</li>
<li>First command line git merge. I usually do it on the website. It's really simple - switch to the branch you're merging the second branch into, type 'git merge second-branch' (second-branch = name of the second branch obviously), and fix any conflicts.</li>
