December Sixth

Cat coding companion, func born to die, commit to move on

Day 5

Wins:

Finished three-rune highlighting
- b1c highlights the B-file knight’s right hand move
Started single-rune piece-type highlighting
- N highlights all knights
Determined lots of my rough draft code will be replaced soon!
- I’ve gotten good at writing functions quickly to express the idea in my head so that as my understanding of the goal/problem improves I can rip up the funcs laid down right behind me to place new funcs in front of me.
- This likely looks like a intuitive understanding of the “don’t prematurely optimize” nugget of wisdom.

Notes:

My cat decided to sleep next to me while I’m writing tonight, look at him
Some func-y Golang stuff is going on
- CI pipeline cannot build project for some reason. Devoops
  - Which on that note I don’t have any tests at the moment, that might be worth addressing soon

continue work on highlighting
- named moves need to mesh into the existing one-two-three rune highlighting progression
think about auto complete system
- seems like the easiest way to convey non-obvious movements like capturing, assisting users with including piece names in their move command
- really like the zsh behavior for tabbing between possible options where each option updates the content of the command line as you select
  - cd and then tab tab tab
design work
- miro?
- design validation system (layout/style/content)
- design menus (restart/exit/game setup)
