i might buy a 3ds to replace my switch

at least i can carry it in my pocket and not put it in a locker

(ofc i’ll mod it)

you ever just hear a song and have dramatic flashbacks of your favorite memories, or is that just me?

working on my makecode arcade rpg game!!

i’m currently writing the battle engine! similar to pokemon’s but with less choices because i’m lazy and only adding “Block” and “Attack”

i’d say 10% of the game is done and idk if i’ll ever “release” it (since i don’t think you can compile makecode arcade to an executable file)

edit: turns out i can embed it in a webpage or just upload the uf2 file to itch.io (you can load it on arcade.makecode.com or on your own makecode arcade system i think?)

day three of procrastinating

am i bad at math or am i bad at javascript

function control_loop() {
    if (controller.dx() > 0) {
        if (x_vel > 40) {
            x_vel = 40
        } else {
            x_vel += 10
        }
    } else if (!(controller.dx() < 0)) {
        if (x_vel < 0 && x_vel != 0) {
            x_vel -= 10
        }
    }
    
    if (controller.dx() < 0) {
        if (x_vel < -40) {
            x_vel = -40
        } else {
            x_vel -= 10
        }
    } else if (!(controller.dx() > 0)) {
        if (x_vel < 0 && x_vel != 0) {
            x_vel -= 10
        } 
    }
}

for context, this code just checks if you have an arrow key pressed and then it’ll change the x velocity to move the player, but the left movement isn’t working (player’s velocity won’t reset like normal)

TIL that i can set a sprite’s velocity in makecode arcade right after i spent 3 hours implementing a physics engine from nothing!

finishing school work is so satisfying…

i always found my multimedia class projects so boring but they’re actually very fun!

new project: @flame

this feels scummy

Let’s be real, the best years were 2013 to 2018

Not saying 2019 to 2024 suck, but they’re just… different

nintendo said if i want to get the location of my switch i have to get the police involved? ok, bet

i would love if scratch implemented scripting with javascript or c++ (or python)

it would attract a lot more people to the platform including me, and it would help people get a basic understanding of text-based langs

edit: if anyone wants to actually try this out, try ApuC

random thought

why are literally all security cameras fucking dogshit

it looks like they put up a potato running android 6 and called it a “security” camera
