komaedas have you tried straw.page?

(i hope you don't mind if i make a big ollllle webdev post off this!)

i have never tried straw.page but it looks similar to carrd and other WYSIWYG editors (which is unappealing to me, since i know html/css/js and want full control of the code. and can't hide secrets in code comments.....)

my 2 cents as a web designer is if you're looking to learn web design or host long-term web projects, WYSIWYG editors suck doodooass. you don't learn the basics of coding, someone else does it for you! however, if you're just looking to quickly host images, links to your other social medias, write text entries/blogposts, WYSIWYG can be nice.

toyhouse, tumblr, deviantart, a lot of sites implement WYSIWYG for their post editors as well, but then you can run into issues relying on their main site features for things like the search system, user profiles, comments, etc. but it can be nice to just login to your account and host your information in one place, especially on a platform that's geared towards that specific type of information. (toyhouse is a better example of this, since you have a lot of control of how your profile/character pages look, even without a premium account) carrd can be nice if you just want to say "here's where to find me on other sites," for example. but sometimes you want a full website!

---------------------------------------

neocities hosting

currently, i host my website on neocities, but i would say the web2.0sphere has sucked some doodooass right now and i'm fiending for something better than it. it's a static web host, e.g. you can upload text, image, audio, and client-side (mostly javascript and css) files, and html pages. for the past few years, neocities' servers have gotten slower and slower and had total blackouts with no notices about why it's happening... and i'm realizing they host a lot of crypto sites that have crypto miners that eat up a ton of server resources. i don't think they're doing anything to limit bot or crypto mining activity and regular users are taking a hit.

↑ page 1 on neocitie's most viewed sites we find this site. this site has a crypto miner on it, just so i'm not making up claims without proof here. there is also a very populated #crypto tag on neocities (has porn in it tho so be warned...).

---------------------------------------

dynamic/server-side web hosting

$5/mo for neocities premium seems cheap until you realize... The Beautiful World of Server-side Web Hosting!

client-side AKA static web hosting (neocities, geocities) means you can upload images, audio, video, and other files that do not interact with the server where the website is hosted, like html, css, and javascript. the user reading your webpage does not send any information to the server like a username, password, their favourite colour, etc. - any variables handled by scripts like javascript will be forgotten when the page is reloaded, since there's no way to save it to the web server. server-side AKA dynamic web hosting can utilize any script like php, ruby, python, or perl, and has an SQL database to store variables like the aforementioned that would have previously had nowhere to be stored.

there are many places in 2024 you can host a website for free, including: infinityfree (i use this for my test websites :B has tons of subdomains to choose from) [unlimited sites, 5gb/unlimited storage], googiehost [1 site, 1gb/1mb storage], freehostia [5 sites/1 database, 250mb storage], freehosting [1 site, 10gb/unlimited storage]

if you want more features like extra websites, more storage, a dedicated e-mail, PHP configuration, etc, you can look into paying a lil shmoney for web hosting: there's hostinger (this is my promocode so i get. shmoney. if you. um. 🗿🗿🗿) [$2.40-3.99+/mo, 100 sites/300 databases, 100gb storage, 25k visits/mo], a2hosting [$1.75-12.99+/mo, 1 site/5 databases, 10gb/1gb storage], and cloudways [$10-11+/mo, 25gb/1gb]. i'm seeing people say to stay away from godaddy and hostgator. before you purchase a plan, look up coupons, too! (i usually renew my plan ahead of time when hostinger runs good sales/coupons LOL)

here's a big webhost comparison chart from r/HostingHostel circa jan 2024.

---------------------------------------

domain names

most of the free website hosts will give you a subdomain like yoursite.has-a-cool-website-69.org, and usually paid hosts expect you to bring your own domain name. i got my domain on namecheap (enticing registration prices, mid renewal prices), there's also porkbun, cloudflare, namesilo, and amazon route 53. don't use godaddy or squarespace. make sure you double check the promo price vs. the actual renewal price and don't get charged $120/mo when you thought it was $4/mo during a promo, certain TLDs (endings like .com, .org, .cool, etc) cost more and have a base price (.car costs $2,300?!?). look up coupons before you purchase these as well!

namecheap and porkbun offer something called "handshake domains," DO NOT BUY THESE. 🤣🤣🤣 they're usually cheaper and offer more appealing, hyper-specific endings like .iloveu, .8888, .catgirl, .dookie, .gethigh, .♥, .❣, and .✟. I WISH WE COULD HAVE THEM but they're literally unusable. in order to access a page using a handshake domain, you need to download a handshake resolver. every time the user connects to the site, they have to provide proof of work. aside from it being incredibly wasteful, you LITERALLY cannot just type in the URL and go to your own website, you need to download a handshake resolver, meaning everyday internet users cannot access your site.

---------------------------------------

hosting a static site on a dynamic webhost

you can host a static (html/css/js only) website on a dynamic web server without having to learn PHP and SQL! if you're coming from somewhere like neocities, the only thing you need to do is configure your website's properties. your hosting service will probably have tutorials to follow for this, and possibly already did some steps for you. you need to point the nameserver to your domain, install an SSL certificate, and connect to your site using FTP for future uploads. FTP is a faster, alternative way to upload files to your website instead of your webhost's file upload system; programs like WinSCP or FileZilla can upload using FTP for you.

if you wanna learn PHP and SQL and really get into webdev, i wrote a forum post at Mysidia Adoptables here, tho it's sorted geared at the mysidia script library itself (Mysidia Adoptables is a free virtual pet site script, tiny community. go check it out!)

---------------------------------------

file storage & backups

a problem i have run into a lot in my past like, 20 years of internet usage (/OLD) is that a site that is free, has a small community, and maybe sounds too good/cheap to be true, has a higher chance of going under. sometimes this happens to bigger sites like tinypic, photobucket, and imageshack, but for every site like that, there's like a million of baby sites that died with people's files. host your files/websites on a well-known site, or at least back it up and expect it to go under!

i used to host my images on something called "imgjoe" during the tinypic/imageshack era, it lasted about 3 years, and i lost everything hosted on there. more recently, komaedalovemail had its webpages hosted here on tumblr, and tumblr changed its UI so custom pages don't allow javascript, which prevented any new pages from being edited/added. another test site i made a couple years ago on hostinger's site called 000webhost went under/became a part of hostinger's paid-only plans, so i had to look very quickly for a new host or i'd lose my test site.

if you're broke like me, looking into physical file storage can be expensive. anything related to computers has gone through baaaaad inflation due to crypto, which again, I Freaquing Hate, and is killing mother nature. STOP MINING CRYPTO this is gonna be you in 1 year

...um i digress. ANYWAYS, you can archive your websites, which'll save your static assets on The Internet Archive (which could use your lovely donations right now btw), and/or archive.today (also taking donations). having a webhost service with lots of storage and automatic backups can be nice if you're worried about file loss or corruption, or just don't have enough storage on your computer at home!

if you're buying physical storage, be it hard drive, solid state drive, USB stick, whatever... get an actual brand like Western Digital or Seagate and don't fall for those cheap ones on Amazon that claim to have 8,000GB for $40 or you're going to spend 13 days in windows command prompt trying to repair the disk and thenthe power is gong to go out in your shit ass neighvborhood and you have to run it tagain and then Windows 10 tryes to update and itresets the /chkdsk agin while you're awayfrom town nad you're goig to start crytypting and kts just hnot going tot br the same aever agai nikt jus not ggiog to be the saeme

---------------------------------------

further webhosting options

there are other Advanced options when it comes to web hosting. for example, you can physically own and run your own webserver, e.g. with a computer or a raspberry pi. r/selfhosted might be a good place if you're looking into that!

if you know or are learning PHP, SQL, and other server-side languages, you can host a webserver on your computer using something like XAMPP (Apache, MariaDB, PHP, & Perl) with minimal storage space (the latest version takes up a little under 1gb on my computer rn). then, you can test your website without needing an internet connection or worrying about finding a hosting plan that can support your project until you've set everything up!

there's also many PHP frameworks which can be useful for beginners and wizards of the web alike. WordPress is one which you're no doubt familiar with for creating blog posts, and Bluehost is a decent hosting service tailored to WordPress specifically. there's full frameworks like Laravel, CakePHP, and Slim, which will usually handle security, user authentication, web routing, and database interactions that you can build off of. Laravel in particular is noob-friendly imo, and is used by a large populace, and it has many tutorials, example sites built with it, and specific app frameworks.

---------------------------------------

addendum: storing sensitive data

if you decide to host a server-side website, you'll most likely have a login/out functionality (user authentication), and have to store things like usernames, passwords, and e-mails. PLEASE don't launch your website until you're sure your site security is up to snuff!

when trying to check if your data is hackable... It's time to get into the Mind of a Hacker. OWASP has some good cheat sheets that list some of the bigger security concerns and how to mitigate them as a site owner, and you can look up filtered security issues on the Exploit Database.

this is kind of its own topic if you're coding a PHP website from scratch; most frameworks securely store sensitive data for you already. if you're writing your own PHP framework, refer to php.net's security articles and this guide on writing an .htaccess file.

---------------------------------------

but. i be on that phone... :(

ok one thing i see about straw.page that seems nice is that it advertises the ability to make webpages from your phone. WYSIWYG editors in general are more capable of this. i only started looking into this yesterday, but there ARE source code editor apps for mobile devices! if you have a webhosting plan, you can download/upload assets/code from your phone and whatnot and code on the go. i downloaded Runecode for iphone. it might suck ass to keep typing those brackets.... we'll see..... but sometimes you're stuck in the car and you're like damn i wanna code my site GRRRR I WANNA CODE MY SITE!!!

↑ code written in Runecode, then uploaded to Hostinger. Runecode didn't tell me i forgot a semicolon but Hostinger did... i guess you can code from your webhost's file uploader on mobile but i don't trust them since they tend not to autosave or prompt you before closing, and if the wifi dies idk what happens to your code.

---------------------------------------

ANYWAYS! HAPPY WEBSITE BUILDING~! HOPE THIS HELPS~!~!~!

The Assistant Book Seller

Edit 1 Dec 2023 - added missing information on the "ribbon pattern."

Edit: 3 Dec 2023 - correct information about middle pattern from creator

GABRIEL: Greetings! I'm Jim! It's short for James, but I don't need to keep telling everyone that. I'm an assistant book seller.

I'm sorry. Before I do anything else, I need to apologize for something I need to write further in. I didn't plan to write it, I just kind of bumped into it and, well, I can't ignore it. So...sorry. It's said. Forgive me for what needs to be done.

Although he arrived with nothing but a cardboard box and Rodney the Stunt Fly, Aziraphale made sure Jim was clothed in appropriate raiment while under his protection. We'll forgive him that he took a step back about, oh, fifty years or so to the 1970's, as Jim's overall look is a nod to the famous old sitcom "Open All Hours." So if he looks a little bit out of place, or, a little bit familiar, even, that's why.

While we are used to seeing angels in overcoats, it's Jim's vest that is the particular feature here. But I will take a moment to comment on the overcoat - not just the colour but its lapels. Aziraphale has obviously given him a colour with an earthly connection and one that indicate that he has bought Jim under his protection, but the lapels look quite neutral, with one up and one down. (Muriel is the same in their Inspector uniform, btw) This is the first indication they are between two things at the moment.

Onto the vest.

There is so, so much work and thought put into this vest! It was a one-off commission for the show, and the creator, Sandy Higgins, has said she is not allowed to give away the final design pattern. I have tried to contact her, and I'm waiting for a reply, so in the mean time I thought I would ask my keen knitter of a sister-in-law about one of the patterns I'm not sure about. "Well, that's Fair Isle knitting," she said, but she knew nothing about the individual line pattern I was interested in. Hmm, I kind of know that already, its in the notes that are guiding me for this meta, but hey, why not do a broader search and see what comes up?

So once I got back home I did. "Fair Isle knitting patterns" hmm...Wikipedia page for starters...what on *earth* is that at the bottom of the page...? YOU ARE. FRIKKING. KIDDING ME!!!!!!!

"See also: Gumbys"

oh ffs

I am so sorry that needs must make me mention Monty Python yet again, but here we are. And we must mention them, because this link is just too...unbelievably, deliciously good.

If you aren't familiar with the Monty Python catalogue, and don't recognize the mention of Gumbys, they were a set of characters that dressed and spoke in a certain way but the main points to take away were they wore woolen vests in the Fair Isle knitted style and their catch-phrase was - wait for it - "My brain hurts!"

I think we've heard that somewhere before?

CROWLEY: When you first arrived, you said you were here because they were planning to do 'Something Terrible' to you. So you remembered it then. Remember it now. GABRIEL: It hurts to remember. My head isn't built for that.

Right. Now we've got that out of the way...back to the serious stuff.

The colours used in the vest are not your typical angel colours. There is a base of angelic off-white and there are some bits of purple for his royalty around the shoulder area - sometimes you need to look carefully for it. Otherwise it is dominated by vintage shades of red and green. Well. Who's an agent of change driven by love, then?

The horizontal stripe pattern is partly to remind us of the classic biblical robes with stripes that ran along them, much like the style of Crowley's black and red robe in the Job minisode, but is also part of the traditional Fair Isles pattern work. And each row only has two colours, but up around the shoulder area we do see purple start to sneak in as a third colour.

On to the incorporated symbols! I'm going to go from bottom to top.

On the lowest two we feature Crowley and Aziraphale. We have Crowley's demon satyr tail from the Good Omens logo on the lowest stripe - the double-headed arrow.

The next stripe is Aziraphale, with a variation of the classic OXO pattern ("hugs and kisses.") The X is meant to represent his angel wings, and the O is modified to mimic the "o" with a halo in the Good Omens logo. I've highlighted all three in the image on the right.

The third row up is a Sumerian Star pattern that represents one of the flowers associated with Gabriel, the lily. They are supposed to represent the purity of Mary, mother of Jesus, as he had one in his hand when he visited her during the Annunciation.

The row above that is what I believe to be a Byzantium pattern, and is included to show "an Angel's ability to be timeless."

The next three rows are still under a bit of a question mark as I write this. I plan to come back and edit it in if I find the answer.

The bottom of the three is the Duke of Buccleuch pattern, "to celebrate the long and necessary contribution that the cottage industry of hand knitted items."

The middle one - ? (perhaps you, the reader, know? It looks like a spiralling ribbon if I stand back, but that isn't sparking any connections, either.)

Edit: @noneorother tells me in a reblog (below) that this pattern represents the shoelace from the magic incantation Aziraphale uses "Banana Fish Gorilla Shoelace." So it is ribbon-like! This then points to the Second Coming, as it the shoelace references the end of the book, and the last paragraph of the book references Yeats poem "The Second Coming" as well as the novel 1984. To me it is then also telling us there is a cycle occurring, or a cycle that needs to be renewed. This fits in with some other clues other meta-writers have been picking up.

Edit 2: Turns out none of that was correct - I heard back from the creator herself and it's actually the double-ended satyr tail pattern again! It just seems to make a bit of an illusion of a ribbon or shoelace.

The pattern below is a modified OXO pattern.

The top one looks like two rams horns facing each other. A hollowed out rams horn can be used as a trumpet, and is known as a shofar in Jewish religion. Gabriel was traditionally known to carry a trumpet.

The ancient meander pattern would be recognized by most people, included as another classic timeless pattern found all over the world. For some it symbolizes eternity and endless flow.

The wheels here appear to be Michael's ophanim wheels, that would have eyes around the rims.

The hourglass is to remind us that time is running out. Memento mori - "Remember that you die." It is a major theme in both series.

Right up high, just before we lose the rest of the vest inside the overcoat, we get a glimpse of a large diamond-shaped icon. I wonder if this is another stylized set of angel wings, like we saw in the Job minisode on Aziraphale's golden collar.

To finish off the outfit, he is wearing dark gray trousers with sneakers! I'm sure that's so he could keep sneaking up on Aziraphale in the shop, haha. His shirt seems a little too large for him and the tie is knotted too high and is not settled along his centerline. It's all at odds with his previous neat and sharp appearance as Supreme Archangel Gabriel.

I'd like to say a big thank you to @aduckwithears for helping me with information on the vest and finding the creator's other social media sites. You can see their two posts about it here and here.

coder friends, I require assistance!

basically, there is a tool I want that doesn't seem to exist, but it feels just simple enough that I feel like potentially I could learn the required skills to make it and I need a sanity check that it is as achievable as I hope, and also that I'm choosing the most sensible language (python from my vague google searching)

here is a rough mockup.

step one: decide how many segments

step 2: decide how many little bumps per segment

step 3: choose your offset

step 4: choose a colour (ideally you can use a colour picker or hex code, but I can live with a predefined palette)

step 5: (image one!) click a colour onto one of the bumps, that automatically makes lines between all of those bumps (angle defined by the offsets)

[repeat that for all bumps] (image 2)

step six (stretch goal): clicking one one of the threads moves that to the top (image 3)

this website is *kind* of similar to what im aiming for, it shows the way i want the colour to apply along the zigzag, and it shows how if you click somewhere the rotation changes? (sidenote: EXCELLENT website for inkle/tablet weaving!)

basically i want a sanity check that this seems like it'd be a Pretty Doable level of "learn 2 code", and that python is the most sensible language to learn?

i did also look at lua but idk if its a "slightly harder to learn python" but python could be more useful for other things sooo might as well work a little harder?

edit: a friend suggested JavaScript, plus they know it and have become Intrigued so will probably help me if I need it haha, so I shall start my quest with js

#genuinely nearly posted an image of a dragon instead of one of these

book one, chapter six; home sweet home and with an unexpected snake

•°•°•°•°•°☆°•°•°•°•°•

pages 1 2.1 2.2 3 4 5 [info]

■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□□■□■□■□■

Aileen spoke up , shifting to cover pheobe from view

》now that you two terrors are done talking, could you leave? Dinner is done now anyway, and I'm sure laertes is exhausted....《

I nodded weakly as the two gods walked away, leaving us alone. Asteria looked at me and smiled

》welp, I guess it's time for you too see the place you'll be staying for a while, hm?《

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●●●○●○●○●○●○●○●

Naturally, Asteria didn't tell me about the snake until I saw it.

My mind should have stayed on other things like the fact that Damien was a child of a god - a demigod, or the fact that gods were about to train us tomorrow or maybe the fact that Asteria was called owlette by deimos.

My mind could have also wandered to the way that she always seemed so nervous and shy whenever she was about to mention her heroic ancestor.

But my brain, and probably Odysseus, spared my those thoughts.

Where was i? Oh right. The snake.

》Uh.....Ari? I...I think some of these buildings have a minor reptile issue 《

I gestured to the hallway of the container building cabin >thing< that i now called home, where a giant, jet black, Blood Python was curled up.

She sighed exasperatedly and tried to move it gently with her foot.

》Oh for athenes' sake! Sorry Lee, -I can call you that, right? This snake keeps on finding a way in here! I swear I don't do anything to it, it's just!-《

She didn't look bothered or scared by the snake at all, she just looked annoyed that it had gotten into our hallway. She seemed quite used to snakes, and I briefly wondered why.

I gently picked the slithery reptile up and looked at it. It's opal scales contrasted stunningly with its liquid gold eyes.

》i don't mind.....honestly....this snake is really pretty...and non venomous...i kinda want to keep it? I mean...he is harmless afterall《

Her jaw dropped, then she stared at me, the snake again, then me again in disbelief.

》you....you actually want to keep the snake? Why??《

》dunno....but he's kinds cute, isn't he?《

The snake stared at me unnervingly (probably because it was anatomically impossible for it to blink).

Asteria stared at me as if I just grew a second head.

》so um.....what ya gonna call him then?《

I searched my mind for ideas. One time my mom told me about an aunt who named her snake "chicken" so I decided that this stunning boy should also have a rather harmless name.

》hm.....what about Charlie? Short for charcoal maybe?《

She looked at me, amused.

》well, ill ask chiron if he can get you a terrarium for him, but let's keep on going, yeah?《

Now, I already told you about the layout, or at least just briefly mentioned it a while back, but it was rather impressive.

Considering the fact that I didn't know if having a god in our camp meant more or less money, the place felt rather luxurious.

There was a bedroom with two bunk beds, a few drawers and a TV, a living room, fully decked out with a sound-surround system and some really soft couches, a kitchen and dining place that could fit at most 10 people, and a study space near the entrance, right by the window, streaming in sunlight.

Ari turned to me and smiled

》i decorated the place after my tastes, which is why all the walls are coloured a deep navy, but you can make requests at chiron office if you want to change anything. Well, after asking me of course《

I nodded, returning her smile before I heard a knocking sound at the main entrance She huffed as I opened the door, seemingly knowing who was at the door, and by the looks of it, she didn't necessarily want them here.

》Ah, there he is, the runt.《

Ares spoke up gruffly, looking at me with an amused scowl. Phobos and deimos snickered beside him, both of them holding spears.

》your training begins soon, little hero!~ we expect you to pick our a wepon shortly, alright? We'll personally guide you!《

And with that, phobos and deimos grabbed me by the shoulders, threw my nearly forgotten baggage carelessly in the room and handing ari hebes cage and dragged me to the weapons shed.

What Is The Difference Between Web Development & Web Design?

In today’s world, we experience the growing popularity of eCommerce businesses. Web designing and web development are two major sectors for making a difference in eCommerce businesses. But they work together for publishing a website successfully. But what’s the difference between a web designers in Dubai and a web developer?

Directly speaking, web designers design and developers code. But this is a simplified answer. Knowing these two things superficially will not clear your doubt but increase them. Let us delve deep into the concepts, roles and differentiation between web development and website design Abu Dhabi.

What Is Meant By Web Design?

A web design encompasses everything within the oeuvre of a website’s visual aesthetics and utility. This might include colour, theme, layout, scheme, the flow of information and anything related to the visual features that can impact the website user experience.

With the word web design, you can expect all the exterior decorations, including images and layout that one can view on their mobile or laptop screen. This doesn’t concern anything with the hidden mechanism beneath the attractive surface of a website. Some web design tools used by web designers in Dubai which differentiate themselves from web development are as follows:

● Graphic design

● UI designs

● Logo design

● Layout

● Topography

● UX design

● Wireframes and storyboards

● Colour palettes

And anything that can potentially escalate the website’s visual aesthetics. Creating an unparalleled yet straightforward website design Abu Dhabi can fetch you more conversion rates. It can also gift you brand loyalty which is the key to a successful eCommerce business.

What Is Meant By Web Development?

While web design concerns itself with all a website’s visual and exterior factors, web development focuses on the interior and the code. Web developers’ task is to govern all the codes that make a website work. The entire web development programme can be divided into two categories: front and back.

The front end deals with the code determining how the website will show the designs mocked by a designer. While the back end deals entirely with managing the data within the database. Along with it forwarding the data to the front end for display. Some web development tools used by a website design company in Dubai are:

● Javascript/HTML/CSS Preprocessors

● Template design for web

● GitHub and Git

● On-site search engine optimisation

● Frameworks as in Ember, ReactJS or Angular JS

● Programming languages on the server side, including PHP, Python, Java, C#

● Web development frameworks on the server side, including Ruby on Rails, Symfony, .NET

● Database management systems including MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL

Web Designers vs. Web Developers- Differences

You must have become acquainted with the idea of how id web design is different from web development. Some significant points will highlight the job differentiation between web developers and designers.

Generally, Coding Is Not A Cup Of Tea For Web Designers:

Don’t ever ask any web designers in Dubai about their coding knowledge. They merely know anything about coding. All they are concerned about is escalating a website’s visual aspects, making them more eyes catchy.

For this, they might use a visual editor like photoshop to develop images or animation tools and an app prototyping tool such as InVision Studio for designing layouts for the website. And all of these don’t require any coding knowledge.

Web Developers Do Not Work On Visual Assets:

Web developers add functionality to a website with their coding skills. This includes the translation of the designer’s mockups and wireframes into code using Javascript, HTML or CSS. While visual assets are entirely created by designers, developer use codes to implement those colour schemes, fonts and layouts into the web page.

Hiring A Web Developer Is Expensive:

Web developers are more expensive to hire simply because of the demand and supply ratio. Web designers are readily available as their job is much simpler. Their job doesn’t require the learning of coding. Coding is undoubtedly a highly sought-after skill that everyone can’t entertain.

Final Thoughts:

So if you look forward to creating a website, you might become confused. This is because you don’t know whether to opt for a web designer or a developer. Well, to create a website, technically, both are required. So you need to search for a website design company that will offer both services and ensure healthy growth for your business.

Hey Kristi! how are you doing today? uwu.

I hope you have enough water thoughout your day.

How did you get into the IF world, and how did you learn how to code (or pseudocode)? What engine are you implementing on your game?

I love your story, and as a person who wants to tell a story, i am struggling with that. (I only speak python for god's sake i'm a poor it student)

Also, a recommendation for fans out there wanting to make a game independently?

When can we hold Blane for a sec really he needs a hug

hi! so, all my advice i've tagged on my blog, but the best post i have for coding and this particular scenario is probably this one.

however, i've said it before and i'll say it again: i'm probably not the person you should go to for coding. i learned (a word i use loosely) everything in the span of two months and promptly forgot it all. ask me anything now and i'll be stumbling through an explanation that might not even be correct so. take all of my coding advice with a grain of salt.

but to answer your question, i use twine (sugarcube) to code my story. for ease of writing, i open my code in visual studio code with the twee extension that colour codes everything to make it easier on the eyes.

in general, my best advice for learning to code is to just go nuts. start with a template, play around with it, look at blogs that are better coders than i am and see if they can answer the questions you have. google things, search up css guides (w3schools was extremely useful for me) and eventually, you'll start to learn the patterns enough to put together what you want. it's very vague, i know, but this is genuinely how i learned and what worked best for me.

good luck !!

O2A2 Daily Log. DAY/NiGHT 1 (July 5th, 2024)

I'll be posting these until I get to the game's development conclusion!

Day I.

It was around 10 AM when I started working. My initial process laid in drafting the story. After deciding on the main character (in this case, Amaranth) I stripped the story to its two components – place and premise – because in other cases it’d be down to building the plot off of a character, and my mind runs wild whenever I construct it like that.

The place is the library, where souls come after they’ve passed, so an Afterlife Library. And the premise is quite simple – it’s a game for the player’s life! In this case, instead of a gamble it all comes down to outsmarting the machine, ahem, the experienced librarian.

And as a person who barely knows Python beyond freely coding in Ren’py, I wandered to the search engine to find a tutorial and realised that I’ll probably be better off searching on Reddit. One of the posts gave me a really good idea – the OP was talking about imagebuttons and logic and then it clicked for me.

Tic-tac-toe is a game where you draw the image inside the grid spaces, taking turns and adjusting your movements to your opponents’... Was it possible to code something like that?!

(duh, of course it was, this log is a testament to that)

I started by cropping the supposed “images” (solid blocks of two colours – one for the scroll and one for the charcoal), and cropped tiny squares of the scroll's colour. So the layering was like this – background scroll - big dark square - vertical box full of horizontal boxes of scroll’s colour, creating the illusion of a drawn grid, when in reality it is not.

And this marks the beginning of my two-hour suffering. I ditched the idea of imagebuttons that I wanted to go with, since that’d require assets, which I only could use one of. So I opted for textbuttons, and it was the most Hell I’ve had coding.

At first I couldn’t get them to show up. Then, I remembered to set a box just for them (x/y maximum of 70ish, since the squares are 90), had nightmares doing the horizontal and vertical boxes, and increased the font. Hooray! Visible!

Setting a variable on click with “action” function was easy, and soon enough I could fill an entire board with. Xs and Os. Time to code Amaranth’s turn in! (scared)

It wasn’t as scary as I imagined: basically, all tiles are “if” functions, and if they’re empty the player can fill them. If it’s not their turn, they’re not active, and Amaranth is quick to respond (I did a test to see if she’d fill an empty cell and she did!)

Then came the invisible (for now) work – I coded in a win condition. I SCREAMED WITH JOY WHEN I SAW THAT MY ARRAYS FINALLY UPDATED!

That concluded my day-work!

Night I.

So I decided to push forward and actually coded in her responses!

I took and hardcoded the first two turns for her Xs and the rest was assigned at random. As for Os, I made it do everything at random, since she’s more experienced at playing Xs! (totally not because I didn’t want to look at tic-tac-toe ever again)

Each turn the machine checks if there are any free spaces and if any of the rows match winning conditions. If they do, the player gets to the end plot (I still haven’t written any of it, aaaa!). If they don’t, the game continues until it’s a draw or X’s/O’s win.

With that, I finally slumped into the bed. Even with taking breaks it was kind of a hard exercise to be jumping straight into after a. Year. Of not working with Python’s syntax.

[I’ve cut off a huge text segment of me trying to design a less clunky random placement system, but all of my endeavours led to dead ends caused by my inexperience and complex requests. Thank you for all the answers, StackOverflow! So many people asking the same question, it makes me feel like we’re all a part of a big community…]

Ideas generation:

Most of my ideas I wont walk you through because I feel like that will be too monotonous especially for some of them that I don't really like but i'll show all the ones I've done before explaining some that i like and some I don't like

All of these came from an ideas generation activity where we where encouraged to straw away from doing work on the computers, I feel like this helped me a lot since I have a pension to pigeon hole myself into doing one idea and not explore the options I have.

Ideas Narrowed down:

The Bakery Witch:

Admittedly this is one of the worst drawn ones but i feel like it mixes a lot of the ideas that I personally have as keeping some ideas that the pound bakery advertising already have, I could mix in my love for Anime and goth aesthetics with pound bakery's tongue and cheek humour, and pension for complicated graphics.

Some inspirations I found while searching for the bakery is a game by the same name on steam which I really like the idea of and I've seen gameplay and it's a really wholesome idea, And i'd like to have tat same comfy feeling From this idea:

Morgan La Fae from Fate is another one because she's a witch and i'd like to draw on her for the anime elements I want to add as well as her colour scheme and deep lore with old British history, which I'm immensely interested in anyway but i feel like would be a good match for a very British brand:

And as well I could draw on just general ideas of witches which i've shown through an Ai image i've found because I feel like It would be a good tool in order to create quick and easy idea generation, I would rather quit being an artist however before I submit Ai art as my own work as i don't really like the technique in order to produce finalised work or outcomes:

Pizza-Zila:

For the Pizza-Zilla idea I wanted it to be more like the Terry Gilliam style that I like where I try and draw Godzilla but then layer over it different city scapes and environments to give it that type of collage feel that his art has, Not only that but I feel like it opens up a lot of avenues for me to animate it and do interesting things for it like different monster designs and Puns I could use for Slogans.

Some Examples and inspirations I could Draw from is;

Of corse most if not all of Terry Gilliam's art and his work on monty python, since I'll be using his style of collage as a base. This could also tie deeply into their already distinctly British branding and evoke nostalgia for old TV, that could bring in an older audience with deeper pockets or introduce it to a younger audience that is a lot looser with spending their money.

The original Movie of Godzilla since I like the style of the older movies better especially because they all had a little bit of comedy to them with their messaging and how they use the suits:

Other lesser inspirations I can think of is other Kaiju media like Neon Genesis Evangellian but i don't think i'd like to add too many anime influences into this idea if I'm already using it for other areas of my professional work:

One of the only other ones is old medieval art work and depictions of dragons and Monsters to try and make the Connection to Terry Gilliam and Monty python stronger and hopefully nail the style better, and i'd like to try and get that sort of tapestry stye into my work or even sort of :

Squeeze bottle:

With the squeeze bottle I wanted to do a more clever and restrained version of the work I've done before, shown here:

But I want to e better about it and take inspiration from artists like Foka Wolf, he was introduced to me a year ago and I love his comedic way of doing art and the creative way he does each piece is very interesting. This one being really funny to me because i know a lot of road men and they'd hate it:

After doing this I'll have to do some more work on the three Ideas that I've chosen to take forward as well as doing some extra work on a few of the other ideas I've had just to see If I like them or not, As I don't think I can fully rule any of them out without doing experiments on them first.

To do List:

Create more experiments

Focus on three main experiments

Create more ideas

Work on more experimental forms of design

10 People I'd Like to Know Better

Thanks for the tags @gaiaseyes451 and @beerok23!💜!💜

last song: Gloria by the Lumineers

favourite colour: Red, like a deep luscious red that you know would taste good if you licked it. Don't act innocent, you know exactly what I mean by that. Red is a color that you just know tastes good.

last book: I am currently trying to read the Witcher series (per @lickthecowhappy's suggestion) so I am at the start of the Last Wish

last movie: Moana 2 (I have young kidsssss)

last TV show: My oldest is almost 10 which means she stays up late. Which also means I have so little time to watch adult things. So we've been watching the Office with her. I think I want to watch the Good Place with her next tho (I've never watched it!)

sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet followed very, very closely by spicy. Habanero maple syrup is one of my favorite things on the planet.

last thing i searched online: How to explain a 10 year career hiatus in a cover letter (looking to return to work since having kids. It's been an interesting experience so far).

current obsession: Have not moved on from Good Omens, but recently realized that my obsession may be more in my own little connected universe of fics that I wrote rather than the actual canon at this point😳. I'm sure once we get that first glimpse of red and white hair that will change very quickly.

looking forward to: Going back to work and having a more established adult life again, honestly. I've been so lucky to be home with my kids while they are young, but I am ready. And figuring out how my newfound passion for writing is going to fit into that new life of mine. Another big year of change over here for me, and I am eagerly looking forward to how the growing pains are going to make way for something beautiful beyond.

ten people i’d like to know better:

@addledmongoose, @di-42, @afrenchwriter, @haemey, @eybefioro, @alwaystuesday, @katspause, @alphacentaurinebula, @shadesofecclescakes, @ochre-sunflower and whoever wants to do it (but also feel free to ignore!)

Project Evaluation

I'm citing my project in a specialist context to enhance my skills before university. It allows me to focus on gaining experience in one area, particularly in learning programming languages like C++, C#, and Python. For this project, I'm using Blueprint and C++ to familiarise myself with these languages. I've removed blood from the game to maintain a PEGI rating of 12, making it more accessible. Additionally, I've considered the various religious colours in my game's design, such as red bullets for death. To improve the environment, I'll include trees and bushes, and players will have the option to add their own songs, contributing to the game's sustainability.

I chose a vr game at the start of my project, however this has changed due to time limitations. I wanted the game to be interactive and immersive, so adding the player on a motorbike racing down the road should do that. Throughout this project, I have learned the basics of Audio Synesthesia in C++ and blueprint, as well as learning how to make an endless scrolling world with customisable length and interesting fade in/out mechanics. My Target outcome would be to complete a game fully made inside of C++.

I started my project in blueprint to get a good idea of what to code in C++. I also researched some games that have similar mechanics to what I am making and took ideas from them. To increase the framerate, I received some help from my peers to make the sections teleport forwards rather than delete and respawn. These ideas and methods have supported me greatly with getting a great idea on the coding side of unreal engine. They have allowed me to create code that I would not have been able to make before.

I have found delays are not appropriate inside of C++. When I use blueprint, delays where my go-to node, so I had to adapt and change to “OnTriggered” and other events to get my code to work. I would love to learn most coding languages, especially the most famous C++ and C#. Coding games and software has the hidden feeling of accomplishment once you are finished with the project, and that's what I strive to feel. This year, I have gained a lot of experience in coding and therefore developed on my skills and techniques to a point that I can make near-full games inside of C++ (with some resources from forms).

Due to the difficulty of C++, I came across a number of issues and problems that caused a significant decrease in my development. Some of these issues might come from un-named errors or simple grammar mistakes. When a problem arose that was unforeseen, I searched on forms for a solution or found another way of doing what I needed to do. Due to specific coding practices in C++, it helps me better solve issues that might arise. This is also supported by compiling times, which take significantly longer than blueprint. If you can get all your code correct before you compile, it will save you time.

In the development of my game, I've included basic coding functions that not only add to the visuals, but also significantly help the game's mechanics. This includes adding buildings to hide NPC's till the last second, which adds a layer of suspense, and making sure that the bullets are visible against the buildings inside of the game. To further "refine" the gameplay and features, I've received feedback from peers using Google Forms, gathering thoughts and suggestions. The game is made for players who enjoy rhythm games that feature different levels of difficulty depending on the piece of music.

I have placed my game on itch to showcase my games to other players. Normally, small indie developers share their games on itch to get acknowledgement for their game and to get it out into the world. Nearly all developers create a project proposal to share their idea with other developers and studios, which is one thing that I created at the start of my project. My ideas have been shared across my blog with in-depth descriptions of each idea and blogs on how it was introduced to the game.

At the start of this project, my targets were to create a game using mostly C++, but also Blueprint, with VR compatibility, Superhot speed mechanics, and gameplay that reacts to the song that is being played. I was not able to incorporate the VR gameplay and Superhot speed mechanics, due to time restraints and the project deadline. I have however finished the main features of the game to the point that the game is fully playable. The game now responds to audio that the player imports and features C++ and Blueprint code.
