tuesday, august 4

Made a Python script that spits out new skill scenes for Godot after answering a little command line questionnaire. I could make it an plugin for the engine, but it would be a lot slower to develop + functionally no better.
Maybe I can rewrite it later in JSON, since Godot can read JSON.

Research PHP + MySQL while attending. I think MySQL is overkill for my purposes, since all my articles couldn't possibly be that much data. It might be interesting for analyzing data, though, like adding a word cloud of the most common tags or a search feature. I'll keep things simple for now.

Help run a FlightRising community event while trying out ArcheAge, since my friends play it.
I told a friend I would play Go with him soon but was too busy with the raffle. Then someone told him I was online a lot in ArcheAge...oops...that looked bad lol. It wasn't like I played more than a few minutes at a time. I'm sorry, friend;;
finally get access to the code for an MMO some friends work on. I start familiarizing myself with the code and start planning my new feature.

I work on pagination. The concept boggles my mind, but I can break it into pieces to solve like any other problem.

I work on my friends' MMO more. I make my own branch and make my first changes. The work environment is Windows-only, and the server is live with active players. Pretty cool experience.

Still working on pagination in PHP to create a navigation bar for my development blog.

Play around with CSS + HTML for the website. The CSS Grid didn't exist the last time I used CSS (for 2000s petsite profiles), so I'm more comfortable with floats. The Grid looks so worth learning, though, for more consistent and responsive web design.
