 <b><a href="https://weeklygamejam.itch.io/">WeeklyGameJam</a></b> is weekly theme-based game jam hosted through itch.io. It's fairly laid-back for a jam, giving you a full week's time, allowing for pre-made/stock assets and code, and being understanding of late submissions. Most people make videogames, but any kind of game is allowed. At the end of the week, streamers will play and critique the submissions while the devs hang out in their chat. <br>

 Instead of hard-coding text, keep it in a spreadsheet instead. It's easier to organize, edit, and it also makes possible future translations a much smoother process. <br>

 <h2>on topic </h2>
 Between the <b>8th and 15th</b>, I wrote a Python script for generating Godot skill scenes from JSON files. As opposed to the questionnaire script I used before, this one can generate multiple skills at a click of a button. It isn't a perfect solution either, though, since my JSON script and the skills I have in the game aren't synced. It'd be better for the skills to be something like JSON files that are read by the game at run-time, unless that would be too costly. That way, I only edit skills in one location and don't need to worry about different versions. <br>
