By candlelight, plague-year italian wine, and naiveté
Wins
- feature: naive reverse guess list traversal
- feature: naive representation of guess cursor
- feature: naive live highlight of guess selection
- feature: naive guess selection
It is possible to traverse the guess menu and have it behavior in a relatively intuitive way. Three cheers for the naive approach to things. Is it wrong? Yeah! Can I fix it? Yeah!
Notes
Really got a good understanding of just how simple old-school menu systems are. It’s just a list, a bounding box, and a pointer. Everything else is interaction and render logic. Feels amazing in comparison to centering divs.
Red wine is a 2020 bottle and I think this is very funny.
Next
- tab auto-complete
- behavior after choice is made is very jank, this is expected because the string representation is directly fed into the input box and the string interpreting is using a non-production ready method
- rethink the need for designing?? it seems like i’ve been fine just winging it, perhaps i don’t need to intellectualize about the placement of runes until after the game is 75% done
