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

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.

i’m back again asking what nail design to try next :3 poll so that people can vote anon if they want

Currently learning css + html for real this time instead of just tweaking shit I find on the internet and hoping for the best -- y'all why is it built like this

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.

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

Did they hack their 3DS if they have one? It's actually really easy to

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.

Pointer To Object In C++ is a variable that holds the memory address of an object. This allows for dynamic memory allocation, enabling the creation and manipulation of objects at runtime. Pointers facilitate efficient resource management and provide access to object members and methods through the pointer syntax. Check here to learn more.

the first rule of using pointers is have fun and be yourself
