Hi, I was just wondering how you do all your highlights and shading because ur characters always look so shiny! Obviously you don't have to tell me tho, I adore your art.

Hey there! I've done a few tutorials actually if you check my 'tutorial' tag. Some thorough, some quick. I have already mentioned before that I'll do a more deeper explanation on the process a while back and I'm still working on it!! Got at basic outline done but the writing is separated via notes or other apps, just gotta clean and compile :'D

It's text heavy so I'm going to have to cut a lot of pieces out or shorten it, but hoping it gets the point across! Of course it also has a image to go along with so we can work on it together :) Let me finish my current workload and I'll get back to this, sorry for the delay guys u-u

also, which legion do you think are the really fucked up ones. like, pug equivalent. which ones have every disease inbreeding-related genetic problem. is the astartes equivalent to daschunds having spine problems, like, thousand sons turning inside out or something. which space marines are chihuahuas

Programming? On my Tumblr?

It's more likely than you think >:3

So anyways here's an early tech demo for a lil project I've been working on. I'm making a game in pure C without any external libraries or game engines or whatever, writing everything from the ground up. Why? To see if I could. And also because I hate myself.

This bad boy's got low-latency audio output with a custom audio mixer and WAV file loading, input handling (keyboard + mouse, no controller support yet), and a basic graphics renderer (with BMP file support), as well as some other fun little features. It's built on the Windows API but all the platform code is isolated so that the game can easily ported. And what grand creation shall I make with this? ...Tetris. I'm planning to make a Tetris clone. Lol.

Oh, and the tetris remix you hear in the background? Wrote that myself. Music was never my strongest subject but I am determined to make everything by myself.

That is all.

hmmmm

if

and

then can i

?

just python things. this operation to reverse a number:

rev = int(str(num)[::-1])

is faster than this:

while num >= 1: rev = (rev * 10) + (num % 10) num = int(num/10)

for reversing an integer, because why wouldn't it be lmao

yeah let's just cast to string then chop backwards, and cast back to integer then save as a new variable. i suppose mod is a more expensive operation ??

but yeah it's like roughly 4x faster to use string comprehension.

spent the afternoon programming an html sanitizer in c++ so that i can take the hideous html outputs scrivener gives me and make them nice and neat and ready for archiving instead. i don't think it's all that close to done, but i can extract a stylesheet from an html file now

me: how about...natori contracting some kind of youkai illness & matoba finding out about it & showing up to his set & natori dragging him off to his trailer bc it would be bad for his sparkly reputation to make the angry faces he feels coming on in front of his coworkers & matoba offering to help but in that smarmy condescending way that raises natori's hackles so he refuses but unfortunately he doesn't know how to cure it so matoba just keeps showing up every day & natori keeps carting him off to the trailer every time & being suuuuper cagey when people ask him who his visitor is & what if his coworkers get the wrong idea & matoba is fully aware of this & what if one day in the trailer natori reluctantly agrees to let matoba help him & matoba's like okay fine off with your shirt i gotta paint this spell circle on your bare chest & what if he's in the middle of doing that when they hear somebody opening the door to the trailer & obviously they don't want anyone to know what they're actually doing in there bc youkai-exorcist confidentiality so matoba's like no worries i got this & he KISSES NATORI omg classic kiss-as-misdirection trope & the person at the door is like whoops my b carry on gentlemen & after they've left natori is like wtf matoba????? & matoba's like well it's what they all thought we were doing anyway & your mouth was right there & it allowed me to cover the writing on your chest with my body & also you kiss people for a living so i figured it wouldn't be too complex for you & your part-time exorcist training to handle & natori recovers admirably quickly & is like WELL for your information that was a TERRIBLE kiss & no one is gonna buy that i professional makeout artist natori shuuichi would be swapping saliva with somebody on the reg without any of my considerable skill rubbing off on them & matoba's like so what do you propose we do about it & natori's like obviously i have to teach you how to kiss in case they come back -

(Through gritted teeth) All that matters is earning the degree. You just need to pass.

Codertober Day 10

I missed writing down the past handful of days because it's been bits and pieces here and there.

But today I finally finished the Javascript roadmap, which took me an embarrassingly long time. Although if I think about it, distilled down it probably took me like 8 hours.

Next im either gonna blast through the Python roadmap or look at the computer science roadmap which goes over algorithms and data structures which is probably the skill I actually need the most work on.

All in all I kinda dislike this learning style so far, which is how I did it in school which was WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING. And then in school I'd use it to pass tests, but my plan was to use it as a reference for actually building some projects.

But I was testing out Javascript modules and there were, like, 3 things I had to stumble my way through because they weren't stated explicitly enough in the material I was reading for me to write them down.

I kinda wanna streamline that stumbling stage and maybe i'll just dive headfirst into a project and google my way to success, which I think would be more fun and make it so I actually learn.

10. What is your programming pet peeve

"One time it took me 2 hours to fix my code, turns out I had just missed a semicolon" read your goddamn motherfucking error messages, if you took two seconds to read past "syntax error" you'd catch it in two seconds.

"Uhn my pointer isn't working???" your compiler told you it's null you never allocated it!

READ YOUR ERROR MESSAGES.

That is all, thank you.
