Day 26 of the #DecemberAdventure!

https://eli.li/december-adventure-2024#section-25

I added some themes to my quest log! Light, dark, and bubblegum.

I think this’ll be the last log for 2024's adventuring.

I’ve had a blast, and I’m really happy that so many other folks joined in this year. I find it really inspiring to see everyone’s projects and approaches to creative, playful coding and project-ing.

Being able to form a little community, even if distant and ephemeral, seems good and important these days.

A huge thanks to everyone who encouraged this, and who followed along or participated in any way. Thank you!

Keep adventuring!

Day 23 of the #DecemberAdventure I worked on making a deep where function, sorta like the one in APL and K.

Day 24 of the #DecemberAdventure I wrote some documentation and tests for that deep where function...because I'll do nearly anything to stop myself from working on the game I wrote that deep where for...

Day 22 of the #DecemberAdventure was a return to an oldie, but a goodie!

I revisited a pixel art drawing toy that I made a while back today. I made it work a bit better on touch devices. It is still much better with a mouse than on a touchscreen, I think, but it at least works on mobile now, too!

My kids use this on all the time, actually, so I was nervous to change things too much since this one is mostly for them.

Draw me a goblin!

Day 20 of the #DecemberAdventure was mostly sleepy.

Day 21, though...

I accidentally did a week notes!

@plexus got me to do a bunch of math!

Dreidles are better than beyblades.

aaaaah...I think the issue on WebKit is with the cooldown, so, after you've exhausted your sprint the game is drawing the UI in the wrong order...maybe

...curse me for doing all my development in Firefox.

Day 19 of the #DecemberAdventure, in which I started my day by playing squash! 10/10, do recommend.

I also got the sword swinging, little black square adventure game to a shareable state! Go forth and play it! Let me know if it crashes...I don't think it likes WebKit. Not mobile friendly. Needs a keyboard.

Day 18 of the #DecemberAdventure is cooking! I continued work on what I'm calling "plains," the little black square with a sword game.

Day 17 of the #DecemberAdventure was an early one! I woke up first thing before anyone else in the family and started to add enemies to the little game.

...and then this evening I cleaned my desk. It isn't like the cozy, colorful space I wish it was, but it is clean and that is a start. I've included a blury photo by ways of proof.

Day 16 of the #DecemberAdventure has me working on a blog post.

Haven’t done one in a bit. It’s inspired by a really beautiful yearly portfolio review and reflection a friend published this morning.

Little black square can now rescue villagers from the wilderness and they'll hang out, bobbing around in the extremely boring, aesthetically bleak grey village!

Day 15 of the #DecemberAdventure started early!

I had an idea for how to vastly simplify drawing a bunch of the map, and also how to de-uglify it.

I think I've met success! :please_no: :please:

I've also started to rough in the primary mechanics...I'm hoping those are easy because I think I can mostly lift things out of some previous stuff I made this year.

Day 14 of the #DecemberAdventure -- I figured, now that the little black square has an eye, it should have a world to explore...and, like, technically, I made one.

It is remarkably, heiniously, shockingly ugly, though.

I think I need to stick to monochrome colors schemes for the time being. :yell:

Day 13 of the #DecemberAdventure -- the little black square got an eye!?

The eye show what direction the character is facing, and is tied to the recharge time for the push. Left to its own devices, too, it'll look around a little bit.

Day 12 of the #DecemberAdventure -- a gallent return!

Little black square already had a laser sword and protective bubble, now it has a dash and force push, too! Also foot prints...feet?
