#100daysofcode Day 79: we started learning #blender by making a #lego man using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv-qsxHA9Ug (not really code but it's for the game)
#100daysofcode Day 78: we completed the last tutorial, which was to add coins to the game. once you collect 5 coins it brings you back to the menu screen
#100daysofcode Day 77: we got some textures, enemies, and collision detection working in #godot following the tutorial
#100daysofcode Day 76: My friend and I are learning the open source #godot game engine using this tutorial: https://invidio.us/playlist?list=PLda3VoSoc_TSBBOBYwcml amF1UrjVtccZ Here are some gifs of our progress after just the first 2 parts of the tutorial
#100daysofcode bonus: I cleaned up the code, made walls block light, and turned off debug mode so this screenshot is what the player sees
#100daysofcode Day 75: Getting back into this challenge for the summer by making a #roguelike in #golang called "ruegolike" https://git.sr.ht/~johanvandegriff/ruegolike I've been working on it for a bit, but today I added generation of corridors between rooms. (I know the #100daysofcode is supposed to be continuous, but... I guess I'm going for a piecewise continuous function.) Also yes, it is heavily inspired by #nethack, one of my all-time favorite games
got raycasting working! opted to just port the code over to go instead of implementing it myself. it actually uses shadowcasting instead of raycasting but it looks great!
currently trying to find a simple way to do #raycasting on a 2D binary grid. the black squares are where there is a tile, and the red is the "shape" of the tile based on its neighbors. Based on this page: http://www.adammil.net/blog/v125_Roguelike_Vision_Algorithms.html#mine
Surprisingly, Darth Vader has some helpful tips for social distancing...
#ShowYourWorkspace I found the 2 large monitors for $15 each at the thrift store! I have #PopOS installed and #teeworlds, #anbox, and https://windows93.net open
#100daysofcode Day 71: I wrote a complete #flask web app in under 8 hours where users can vote which image is their favorite. https://votephome.herokuapp.com/ https://gitlab.com/johanvandegriff/VotePho.me We also finished the #ZFS backup setup. https://gitlab.com/johanvandegriff/zfs-backup-pull
It's #DocumentFreedomDay 2020! Openly document for the future; avoid proprietary formats that won't be readable long-term. #libreoffice #DFDDove2020 #DFD2020
#100daysofcode Day 69 (yesterday): I tried to update my video embed links on my website to #LBRY, but only some of them would load so I left it unchanged. Then I installed cockpit on my servers to see stats for all of them in one page!
#100daysofcode Day 64: I FINALLY fed the boggle letters into #tensorflow. The first time I got 40% accuracy, but after some simple tweaks it improved to 70%. Anyway, this marks the first actual use of #machinelearning in this machine learning boggle project.
#100daysofcode Day 61: I'm back at it again for spring break! I added a button to the boggle game to view the past games and stats without logging in. https://games.johanv.xyz/boggle
#100daysofcode Day 60: I helped someone deploy their hackathon project to heroku (the hackathon is over, they just wanted to have it up). The idea is that you upload an image, and it removes the plants to simulate what might happen in the future: https://theyear2100.herokuapp.com/ https://devpost.com/software/2100
A few weeks ago, I went to the graduation for Year Up, which I volunteered for over the summer.
Year Up is a program for students who can't afford college to learn skills for 6 months, then get an internship at a tech company for 6 months.
If you know someone in the Washington DC area who would benefit from the program, pass this on! (boosts appreciated)
#100daysofcode Day 59: We finished up the app, adding a way to set a nickname for your devices. We made an authentication system similar to #nextcloud notification 2fa, where if a nickname is already claimed, you can request to also use that nickname. Then you have to approve the request on the device that is assigned that name, proving that you own that device/name. We won "best domain name" for http://www.scan-the.space/ and our prize was domain.com backpacks! :) https://devpost.com/software/scan-the-space
