I’ve not worked a lot on the game since the last post, but I have updated my menu buttons to look like proper buttons. I am not 100% satisfied with how they look, mostly because the indication of the selected button is less obvious than I thought it would be. I might need to change the pixelart for them, but it’s a start. It was very interesting to learn and figure out how tiling works to create a button from 3 squares.

Yesterday I worked a bit more with the LÖVE lua framework. I’ve started with a very basic main menu and made a module to use for the gamestate. It’s not much but I think the modules I’m building are a great start.

I’ve also started with some pixelart for the game. Although this isn’t really my thing, I want to make as much as I can myself. It might not be the prettiest but I think I’ll be fine :)

I’ve been thinking about coding a game. I’ve never done this before but it sound fun! LÖVE or love2d looks good and beginner friendly. To be clear, I have not yet tried to make a game with love2d, I have installed it and ran a hello world. I also have read quite some documentation. This does sadly not mean I know where to start. BUT, I have an idea for a game I would like to make so maybe I’ll get there some day.

I haven’t gotten around to adding the content files of this blog to my personal obsidian vault. But once I do I might do a longer post about my obsidian setup. I think it’s quite fun to think about your vault setup and your folder structure compared to the ones of others.

Since setting up the couchDB to self host live sync for obsidian. I’ve been working on the structure of my personal vault. I think I might try to figure out a way to add this website’s vault to my personal vault. That way, I only need to have one single vault open.

…

I’ve just set up a couchdb instance to use as database for the selfhost live sync plugin on obsidian so I can sync my personal vault between all my devices. Tested it out on my laptop and phone, it seems to be working as intended :)

I have set up a discord alternative called fluxer for me and my friends. The setup was quite easy with the help of the Get Started Guide from their website. But there was a problem with the seaweedfs buckets. After just restarting the docker containers, it seemed to be fixed all by itself. I still need to figure out if the snmp server (mail server) really is necessary… For now I need to test it with my friends :)

I’ve been working on a discord bot for the discord server with my friends. It’s been fun to get into some programming again. I’d like this bot to handle quotes, confessions, some economics stuff (casino games 👀), server announcements and server auditing. Seems like a lot, but the auditing stuff is really just logging server events, server announcements was also a quite easy command. The quotes and confessions just send an embed to a specific channel. But it’s the economics and games that I find the most interesting (for now).

I wanted to do some smaller posts, more like thoughts than the somewhat better, mostly longer posts I do in the posts section. For this I tried to add this, let’s see if this works :)
