Mini React.js Tips #1 | Resources ✨

I thought why not share my React.js (JavaScript library) notes I made when I was studying! I will start from the very beginning with the basics and random notes I made along the way~!

Up first is what you'll need to know to start any basic simple React (+ Vite) project~! 💻

What you'll need:

node.js installed >> click

coding editor - I love Visual Studio Code >> click

basic knowledge of how to use the Terminal

What does the default React project look like?

Step-by-Step Guide

[ 1 ] Create a New Folder: The new folder on your computer e.g. in Desktop, Documents, wherever that will serve as the home for your entire React project.

[ 2 ] Open in your coding editor (will be using VSCode here): Launch Visual Studio Code and navigate to the newly created folder. I normally 'right-click > show more options > Open with Code' on the folder in the File Explorer (Windows).

[ 3 ] Access the Terminal: Open the integrated terminal in your coding editor. On VSCode, it's at the very top, and click 'New Terminal' and it should pop up at the bottom of the editor.

[ 4 ] Create the actual React project: Type the following command to initialize a new React project using Vite, a powerful build tool:

npm create vite@latest

[ 5 ] Name Your Project: Provide a name for your project when prompted.

[ 6 ] Select 'React' as the Framework: Navigate through the options using the arrow keys on your keyboard and choose 'React'.

[ 7 ] Choose JavaScript Variant: Opt for the 'JavaScript' variant when prompted. This is the programming language you'll be using for your React application.

[ 8 ] Navigate to Project Folder: Move into the newly created project folder using the following command:

cd [your project name]

[ 9 ] Install Dependencies: Execute the command below to install the necessary dependencies for your React project (it might take a while):

npm install

[ 10 ] Run the Development Server: Start your development server with the command (the 'Local' link):

npm run dev

[ 11 ] Preview Your Project: Open the link provided in your terminal in your web browser. You're now ready to witness your React project in action!

How do you organize BoS in Twine? Is it just a single story or is there multiple, like one is just night 1 and another story is night 1 + 2 and so forth.

Oh wow. Sometimes I feel like readers and I are psychically linked. I had to cut writing short this morning to go through and organize my file because the Night VI branches were getting a bit out of hand.

This is how they're supposed to be labeled. My episode titles are formatted as [Chapter]_[routePassage]_[Title]. So n5_z1_wake would be Night 5, Zealot Passage 1, Wake, the title mostly being a label for my own quick reference. As I'm working with major differences between the MFM and MMF routes + Weaver Alignment in Night VI, they look more like this: n6_mfm_za40_follow, which is Night 5, Bound mode, Weaver-Aligned Zealot Passage 40, Follow.

This is hardly an ideal way to do this. In fact, I think most Twine authors do their stories in a coding environment. As I'm more visually inclined and like seeing the interconnectedness of the passages, that's challenging for me. If you're looking for a more proper way to go things I recommend this guide.

As of right now this method, when properly labeled, works fine for me. I also have a separate Scrivener file where I take notes on each route, that way I don't lose my place/forget who knows what. If/when using the visual environment becomes unwieldy, I'll probably switch to using Visual Studio to code. As I write, I am also working my way through Harvard's free CS50 course and I become more comfortable with coding each month.

Pixel Cat's End Bean Calculator

As a few of you may be aware (also I have pinged those who expressed interest in the first post btw) I have created a calculator that takes the genetic strings of two not-cats, along with some filters, and returns EVERY. POSSIBLE. BEAN. along with its corresponding probability! It also displays the total probability of matching all input traits.

The link to the file is here. (Current version: 1.0)

In order to use it, you will need a python interpreter (there are plenty of guides for that online, it shouldn't be hard to do) along with a program to run it in. I chose and recommend Visual Studio Code. Again, there are plenty of guides for python and VS Code.

At the top of the file, there are some settings that you can change, including fonts and colours, with the formats needed for those settings next to them. You can change those whenever, but be warned that changing font size may result in the window being weirdly sized.

Basically, to use it, you just run the code, input the full genetic strings (if growth or accent are unknown, put [??] in its place) of a North/Trade cat and a South/Trade cat in their respective fields, select the traits you want to see, and click the Big Red Button™. From there, you can see every possible bean, its chance, and at the bottom will be the chance of a bean matching your selected traits.

Note that for recessives (for example longhair), carrying the trait and not carrying it are two separate fields (short and short (carries long)). If you want the overall chance for shorthair, you would add the chances for short and short (carries long).

There is a button at the bottom for if there are any bugs that you have found, along with some troubleshooting steps to fix them.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

[moose-mousse]

Greetings moose-mousse, it is a bit niche/weird (but let's see how far it goes) but may I ask for some suggestions / advice concerning making pseudo-code / fake code scripts / programs to put onto scenes to film? Because I work towards portraying sidestream programming environments of the past (yet customized into my own 16^12 worldbuilding stuff) to show for films I look forth to produce this summer and idk where to pull fitting samples, code style guides & whatnot to put on various screens.

A great start. Wireshark. It is a packet sniffer. Especially on wireless networks in looks great as background busywork. Do it to a public network and you will get plenty of noise to look technical. Basically in wireless networks, everyone is just screaming things. Only the intended target really reacts, and things are encrypted and all sorts of safety is in place, but the fact of the matter is still that everyone is screaming. So you can just have wireshark show you everything that is happening, and it gives a nice constant feed of technically valid but essentially nonsense to look at. Customize the look a bit and you are great. Note that this is both legal and fine. This is stuff it is ok to yell about in public The other is of course a command console. For that I would recommend installing Python, and then simply make a infinite loop that prints technical nonsense. If you need sample text then install anything by writing "pip install ______", copy the text and print it in your own python thing. Creates infinite nonsense text that looks real (because... it is a copy of something real.) Both of these should take less than an hour to set up, and will create great looking backgrounds on screens for "someone doing something technical"

If you want code just staying still on the screen, then basically install visual studio code, find an open source project on github and open a file. Open files of a few different types and visual studio code will automatically recommend you extension that will color the text to look like proper code.

A Beginner’s Guide to the World of Anime: From Studio Ghibli to Shonen Showdowns

So, you’ve stumbled into the wild, colorful, sometimes bizarre universe of anime. Maybe a friend recommended Attack on Titan, or you’ve seen TikToks of cosplayers yelling “Bankai!” in public. Maybe you're just curious: What’s the big deal with these Japanese cartoons anyway? Well, welcome, traveler. You're in for a ride — one that includes giant mechs, quiet slice-of-life moments, tear-jerking character arcs, and yes… a lot of ramen scenes.

This guide will walk you through what anime actually is, the different genres, iconic studios and creators, where to start watching, and a bit of fandom etiquette (yep, that’s a thing). Buckle up.

What Is Anime, Really?

Technically, anime is just the Japanese word for animation. But internationally, it refers specifically to Japanese animated TV shows and movies — a style known for its distinctive art, expressive characters, and storytelling depth.

Unlike Western cartoons, anime isn't just for kids. There’s anime for toddlers, for teens, for adults, for people going through heartbreaks, mid-life crises, or just craving action and absurd comedy (yes, One Punch Man, we see you).

Genre Galore: There’s an Anime for Everyone

One of the biggest myths? “I don’t like anime.” Reality: You just haven’t found your kind yet.

Let’s break down a few major genres — and keep in mind, these are broad strokes. Many series blur the lines:

Shonen (少年): Aimed at teen boys, filled with action, growth, and friendship. Think Naruto, My Hero Academia, One Piece. Expect power-ups. Lots of yelling.

Shojo (少女): Geared toward teen girls. Romance, drama, pretty boys with sparkly eyes (hello, Ouran High School Host Club).

Seinen: Mature themes, complex plots, often darker. Berserk, Tokyo Ghoul, Monster.

Josei: For adult women — more grounded romance, slice of life, and emotional realism.

Isekai: “Trapped in another world” genre. A person dies (or gets transported) and ends up in a fantasy realm. Re:Zero, Sword Art Online, No Game No Life.

Slice of Life: Chill, relatable, daily life — like March Comes in Like a Lion or My Roommate is a Cat.

Mecha: Robots. Big ones. Evangelion, Gundam, Code Geass.

Sports: Yep, even volleyball can be intense when animated (Haikyuu!! supremacy).

There’s also horror, historical, comedy, fantasy, supernatural, music, and… well, niche upon niche. Ever seen an anime about anthropomorphic cells inside the human body (Cells at Work)? Now you have.

Icons of the Industry: Studio Ghibli & Beyond

If anime were a religion, Studio Ghibli would be its Vatican.

Founded by Hayao Miyazaki, Ghibli gave us legendary titles like:

Spirited Away (Academy Award winner!)

My Neighbor Totoro

Princess Mononoke

Howl’s Moving Castle

Ghibli films are ethereal, emotional, and steeped in Japanese culture, often blending fantasy with real-world issues like war, nature, and coming of age. They’re perfect gateway anime for people who think they don’t like anime. (Trust me, just watch Spirited Away on a rainy night.)

Other notable creators and studios:

Makoto Shinkai (Your Name, Weathering with You): Visually breathtaking modern love stories.

Trigger (Kill la Kill, Promare): Over-the-top, frenetic, rebellious style.

Kyoto Animation (Clannad, Violet Evergarden): Gorgeous slice-of-life and emotional narratives.

MAPPA (Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan: Final Season): Action-packed and high production value.

So… Where Do I Even Start?

Here are starter-friendly recommendations, depending on your vibe:

For fantasy & whimsy: Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, The Boy and the Heron

For adrenaline and plot twists: Attack on Titan, Death Note, Demon Slayer

For heartfelt drama: Your Lie in April, Anohana, A Silent Voice

For comedy: One Punch Man, KonoSuba, Gintama (chaotic but genius)

For chill vibes: Barakamon, Laid-Back Camp, Natsume’s Book of Friends

Warning: Some of these WILL emotionally wreck you. Not sorry.

Sub vs Dub: The Eternal Debate

Ah yes, the war. Sub = original Japanese voice acting with subtitles. Dub = voiceover in your language (usually English).

Pros of sub:

More authentic to the creator’s vision

Usually released faster

Superior voice acting (subjective, but kinda true)

Pros of dub:

No reading! Great for multitasking

Easier if you're neurodivergent or have trouble focusing

Some dubs are genuinely excellent (Cowboy Bebop, anyone?)

Honestly? Try both and see what you like. There’s no wrong way to watch anime (unless you’re skipping the opening songs — which are sometimes bangers).

Where to Watch Anime (Legally!)

Sure, pirated anime sites exist, but legal streaming helps support the industry. And also, less viruses.

Crunchyroll – Largest library, simulcasts, mostly subbed

Netflix – Great original anime + popular series

Funimation – Good for dubbed content

HiDive – More niche/retro anime

Amazon Prime, Hulu – Has some solid options too

Don’t forget YouTube! Some classics and shorts live there legally.

Fandom 101: Be Chill, Be Curious

The anime fandom can be super welcoming — or… chaotic. Here’s how to survive:

Don’t gatekeep. Let new fans enjoy Naruto without quizzing them on filler episodes.

Avoid spoilers! Some people just started Attack on Titan, okay?

Respect the culture. Anime is rooted in Japanese customs, language, and values.

You don’t have to cosplay or read manga to be a real fan. Watch what you love.

Also, beware the rabbit hole. One moment you’re watching a light-hearted sports anime, the next you’re learning Japanese and buying figurines you don’t have shelf space for.

TL;DR: Anime Isn’t Just a Genre — It’s a Multiverse

Anime is not a phase. It’s a storytelling medium with infinite styles, voices, and messages. Whether you're into action, romance, existential dread, or magical girls with absurdly complex transformation sequences — anime's got something for you.

So go ahead. Watch that first episode. Let yourself laugh at the absurd, cry with the characters, and fall in love with a 2D protagonist (no judgment).

Welcome to the fandom. We saved you a seat.

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

<3

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 !!

Over time, Microsoft developed .NET right into a cross-platform, open-supply framework. In 2016, Microsoft launched .NET Core, a modular, high-performance, cross-platform implementation of .NET. In 2020, the company unified all its .NET technologies beneath one umbrella with the discharge of .NET five, and later persisted with .NET 6, .NET 7, and past.

Today, the unified platform is actually called .NET, and it allows builders to build apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and greater using a single codebase.

Key Features of .NET

1. Cross-Platform Development

One of the maximum tremendous features of present day .NET (publish .NET Core) is its ability to run on a couple of platforms. Developers can construct and deploy apps on Windows, Linux, and macOS with out enhancing their codebases.

2. Multiple Language Support

.NET supports numerous programming languages, together with:

C# – the maximum extensively used language in .NET development

F# – a purposeful-first programming language

Visual Basic – an smooth-to-analyze language, regularly used in legacy programs

This multilingual capability allows developers to pick out the nice language for their precise use cases.

3. Extensive Library and Framework Support

.NET offers a comprehensive base magnificence library (BCL) and framework libraries that aid the whole lot from record studying/writing to XML manipulation, statistics get entry to, cryptography, and extra.

Four. ASP.NET for Web Development

ASP.NET is a part of the .NET platform specially designed for net improvement. ASP.NET Core, the cross-platform model, permits builders to build scalable internet APIs, dynamic web sites, and actual-time packages the usage of technology like SignalR.

5. Rich Development Environment

.NET integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio, one of the most function-wealthy integrated development environments (IDEs) available. Visual Studio offers capabilities together with IntelliSense, debugging tools, challenge templates, and code refactoring.

6. Performance and Scalability

.NET is thought for high performance and scalability, especially with its guide for asynchronous programming using async/wait for and its Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation.

7. Secure and Reliable

.NET presents sturdy safety features, including code get entry to security, role-based protection, and cryptography training. It also handles reminiscence management thru rubbish series, minimizing reminiscence leaks.

Common Applications Built with .NET

1. Web Applications

5. IoT Applications

.NET helps Internet of Things (IoT) development, allowing builders to construct applications that engage with sensors and gadgets.

6. Games

With the Unity sport engine, which helps C#, developers can use .NET languages to create 2D, three-D, AR, and VR games.

Components of .NET

1. .NET SDK

The Software Development Kit includes everything had to build and run .NET packages: compilers, libraries, and command-line tools.

2. CLR (Common Language Runtime)

It handles reminiscence control, exception managing, and rubbish collection.

Three. BCL (Base Class Library)

The BCL offers center functionalities including collections, record I/O, records kinds, and extra.

4. NuGet

NuGet is the package manager for .NET. It lets in builders to install, manage, and share libraries without problems.

Modern .NET Versions

.NET five (2020): Unified the .NET platform (Core + Framework)

.NET 7 (2022): Further overall performance enhancements and more desirable APIs

.NET 8 (2023): Continued attention on cloud-native, cellular, and web improvement

Advantages of Using .NET

Cross-platform assist – construct as soon as, run everywhere

Large developer network – widespread sources, libraries, and frameworks

Robust tooling – especially with Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider

Active improvement – backed by using Microsoft and open-source community

Challenges and Considerations

Learning curve – particularly for beginners due to its giant atmosphere

Legacy framework – older .NET Framework tasks aren't like minded with .NET Core or more recent variations without migration

Platform differences – sure APIs or libraries might also behave in a different way throughout operating systems

Getting Started with .NET

To begin growing with .NET:

Install the .NET SDK from the legitimate .NET internet site.

Create a new project: Use the dotnet new command or Visual Studio templates.

Write code: Develop your logic the usage of C#, F#, or VB.NET.

I'm a wittle shy but I has a question about programming :3.I love the process of coding and making things with it but ughhhh I just don't know what to make. Should I take a course on computer science like CS50 to get a better idea of the process (I've been coding for almost 2 years but have been very inactive this last year) or should I just wing it and try to make just something, and maybe learn a new language like C? Thankies :3

WING IT!

My best advice is lowkey just steal ideas from others. The thing that kinda domino-affected me into this whole programming thing was an emulator of Flipnote studio.

Find the things that you enjoy making and make those, be it video games, websites, applications, emulators, simulators, engines, programming languages, visual novels, text interface games, hacking.

And google is your best friend, anything you can think of has been made before and someone's probably put their code or a guide out there.

And I would reccomend learning C because it's so so so so so easy. People say C is scary, it's really not. Once you've learned Pointers that's it, you've learned the hardest part (and they are so easy). AND C has a library for everything you can think of, since it's been around forever.

That's pretty much it, dive straight into something fun. And if something gets to difficult it's never bad to take a break or focus on something else. Dont burn yourself out like I did once.

Learn HTML and CSS: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

Introduction to HTML and CSS

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the core technologies for creating web pages. HTML provides the structure of the page, while CSS defines its style and layout. This guide aims to equip beginners with the essential knowledge to start building and designing web pages.

Why Learn HTML and CSS?

HTML and CSS are fundamental skills for web development. Whether you're looking to create personal websites, start a career in web development, or enhance your current skill set, understanding these technologies is crucial. They form the basis for more advanced languages and frameworks like JavaScript, React, and Angular.

Getting Started with HTML and CSS

To get started, you need a text editor and a web browser. Popular text editors include Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Atom. Browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are excellent for viewing and testing your web pages.

Basic HTML Structure

HTML documents have a basic structure composed of various elements and tags. Here’s a simple example:

html

Copy code

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

    <title>My First Web Page</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

</head>

<body>

    <h1>Welcome to My Web Page</h1>

    <p>This is a paragraph of text on my web page.</p>

</body>

</html>

: Declares the document type and HTML version.

: The root element of an HTML page.

: Contains meta-information about the document.

: Connects the HTML to an external CSS file.

: Contains the content of the web page.

Essential HTML Tags

HTML uses various tags to define different parts of a web page:

to : Headings of different levels.

: Paragraph of text.

: Anchor tag for hyperlinks.

: Embeds images.

: Defines divisions or sections.

: Inline container for text.

Creating Your First HTML Page

Follow these steps to create a simple HTML page:

Open your text editor.

Write the basic HTML structure as shown above.

Add a heading with the tag.

Add a paragraph with the tag.

Save the file with a .html extension (e.g., index.html).

Open the file in your web browser to view your web page.

Introduction to CSS

CSS is used to style and layout HTML elements. It can be included within the HTML file using the <style> tag or in a separate .css file linked with the <link> tag.

Basic CSS Syntax

CSS consists of selectors and declarations. Here’s an example:

css

Copy code

h1 {

    color: blue;

    font-size: 24px;

}

Selector (h1): Specifies the HTML element to be styled.

Declaration Block: Contains one or more declarations, each consisting of a property and a value.

Styling HTML with CSS

To style your HTML elements, you can use different selectors:

Element Selector: Styles all instances of an element.

Class Selector: Styles elements with a specific class.

ID Selector: Styles a single element with a specific ID.

Example:

html

Copy code

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

    <title>Styled Page</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

</head>

<body>

    <h1 class="main-heading">Hello, World!</h1>

    <p id="intro">This is an introduction paragraph.</p>

</body>

</html>

In the styles.css file:

css

Copy code

.main-heading {

    color: green;

    text-align: center;

}

#intro {

    font-size: 18px;

    color: grey;

}

CSS Layout Techniques

CSS provides several layout techniques to design complex web pages:

Box Model: Defines the structure of an element’s content, padding, border, and margin.

Flexbox: A layout model for arranging items within a container, making it easier to design flexible responsive layouts.

Grid Layout: A two-dimensional layout system for more complex layouts.

Example of Flexbox:

css

Copy code

.container {

    display: flex;

    justify-content: space-around;

}

.item {

    width: 100px;

    height: 100px;

    background-color: lightblue;

}

Best Practices for Writing HTML and CSS

Semantic HTML: Use HTML tags that describe their meaning clearly (e.g., , , ).

Clean Code: Indent nested elements and use comments for better readability.

Validation: Use tools like the W3C Markup Validation Service to ensure your HTML and CSS are error-free and standards-compliant.

Accessibility: Make sure your website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, by using proper HTML tags and attributes.
