December Tenth

10 Dec 2023 - Daniel Ramirez

I woke up hungover. Slept until 4pm, handled an incident for my day job, slept until 8pm.

Wins

Cranked out feature: naive move auto complete suggestion list and I’m pretty happy with the results. Here’s some muscle memory kicking in where I know I would like to hit tab to complete the move command.

Notes

I’ve been looking at some other sites that are doing DecemberAdventure and wow do these folks know how to style a blog site. Ex:

• varvara zine
• 100rabbits
• Arcade Wise

A couple of these sites use a template that I really like. It gives this feeling that there is a lot to discover on the site but it the entire site does not reveal itself to you at first blush. You have to actually crawl through the hyperlinks. And as a side note I noticed a few of these folks use C and do low-level stuffs.

Next

1. tab auto-complete
   • allow user to cycle through guess menu using tab and make sure to update the highlights as this happens
2. design work
   • pen and grid paper
   • design validation system (layout/style/content)
   • design menus (restart/exit/game setup)
     • downwell, vitetris, galaga, etc.
