Devlog: Godot Project — Bricks in Level 2-3 Laid
Just a quick update today. I’ve finished all the brickwork in level 2-3. And it didn’t go too badly. Made one significant mistake which would’ve involved a lot of rework, that I patched up with some single tiles: Top: the mistake. Bottom: the fix. Doing the rest of it was pretty dreary work. Godot does have some tools to make this easier, but there was no getting around the level of care needed to place the bricks correctly. Continue reading →

Devlog: Shutting Down Nano Journal
With the move to Obsidian for my journalling needs, I shut down my bespoke journalling web-app. I deployed it on 26th August 2024, which makes it just over a year old. I did start using Obsidian on the 20th though, so it didn’t quite make it the entire year. Even so, not bad for something hand made and somewhat neglected. Most things I eventually abandon last way less than that. Continue reading →

Gallery: Day Trip to Yass
Decided to go to Yass today, a small town in NSW just north of where I’m staying in Canberra. I pass by Yass every time I drive to Canberra from Melbourne, and I wanted to see what it was like, at least once. And this morning I discovered that it had a railway museum, which sealed the deal. Unfortunately the weather was not kind: it was bitterly cold and rainy the whole time I was there. Continue reading →

Devlog: UCL — More About The Set Operator
I made a decision around the set operator in UCL this morning. When I added the set operator, I made it such that when setting variables, you had to include the leading dollar sign: $a = 123 The reason for this was that the set operator was also to be used for setting pseudo-variables, which had a different prefix character. @ans = "this" I needed the user to include the @ prefix to distinguish the two, and since one variable type required a prefix, it made sense to require it for the other.
