Goal: Program the music log!

Notes: I've been feeling a little out-of-focus lately, so I'm hoping my work today will get me back on track. I'm resisting the urge to scrap the little I have and start again. I just want to get some scripting done.

Reflection: I don't know why but I am struggling a lot trying to figure out how to save inputted text. I hope next time I'll be able to get a lot more work done on this project.

Goal: start putting together the music journal in Godot

Notes: I had so much trouble with importing the Flutter package into VSCode that I had to switch to a whole other way to code this project. Off to a great start!

Reflection: I'm writing this reflection a week later, but I think godot is definitely giving me a lot more room to do what I need to. I have some basic UI right now that I need to write some code for, and then the "journal" section will be done. All in all, I'm optomistic.

2/15/25 - B-Sides Progress

Goal: make significant progress on the "Journal" aspect of the program. This allows users to log the physical forms of music they've been listening to in terms of full album, specific songs, and repeats.

Notes: I am working in DartPad for now to code this project because I am having issues importing the flutter package in VSCode. The thing is, this app relies on user input, and that is not something that can be used a lot in DartPad. This will be fun!

Psuedocode: void musicJournal(){

column(

create Widget album(

Text: "Enter Album Name" //takes user input (string)

)

row(

create Widget tracks(

Text:"Enter Track List" //takes user input (string array)

)

create Widget plays(

Text:"Enter Amount of Plays" //takes user input (int array)

)

)

create TextButton(

Text:"Submit";

onPressed: (){

albumInput -> albumLibrary

tracksInput -> albumInput.tracks

playsInput -> iteratively add plays to each tracks data

}

)

)

}

Reflection: I struggled a lot to stay motivated and on task today, especially since my goal of using user input is unachievable with DartPad and I can't seem to get the right packages imported on VSCode. I am really excited to get some work done on this project, so hopefully I'll be able to iron out the VSCode issues soon.
