+ Fall 2023 was my first semester coming back after being out of school for 16 months (I tried taking CHINA 101 in Fall 2022 but dropped it after a week).
+Because of that, I have forgotten how to study. Both midterms and finals went pretty horribly. It’s not even that I don’t care about grades anymore, and I definitely could have done better if I just did the practice exams thoughtfully.

I’ve always thought that having published open source code meant something, but then I realized that it doesn’t matter if it’s not useful.
Learning how to package libraries and applications was a good experience, though, and I would probably publish stuff IF/WHEN I have actually solved a need.

- I feel like the hardest part of writing this game would be the enemy logic. That’s why I’m putting it off for as long as possible! Today I implemented map generation, randomly placing boxes sufficiently far enough from players.
I also added controls for other players, which reminded me of my local multiplayer experience with Boxhead. I miss having multiple people on play a single keyboard. These days it would be awkward to play that way.

+ cancheta.dev@gmail.com (Charles Ancheta)https://charles.thyck.top/post/dev-log/boboman/day-3/Feeling good today. I got to fix the collision bug that was happening yesterday. It actually had to do with the collision lifecycle, so to make the player detectable, I decoupled the check from the lifecycle of the bomb. Because of this, I could revert the player’s bomb timer to normal. Moving away from a project and letting your brain sit on a problem for a while really does wonders.

- MAJOR BUG ALERT!!
Apparently my collision logic for the bombs weren’t going to hold up. Every time a bomb explodes, there is a small time window where you can place a bomb and the bomb would not recognize the player, making it a “not new” bomb. Because of that, the player gets pushed off right away and could end up in the weirdest of places.
After hours of debugging I couldn’t really solve it because of how the collision library orders the entity updates.

+ A couple of months ago, I help a friend set up a website for a business. Today, I had another talk with a friend about building a portfolio website and he asked me for a few resources. I couldn’t find a comprehensive one that outlines all the required steps so I’ll try my best.

- I deleted all 4 of my NPM packages today. It has been over a year since I’ve last updated them, and I didn’t want to add any more clutter to the system.
I’ve always thought that having published open source code meant something, but then I realized that it doesn’t matter if it’s not useful.
Learning how to package libraries and applications was a good experience, though, and I would probably publish stuff IF/WHEN I have actually solved a need.

- I feel like the hardest part of writing this game would be the enemy logic. That’s why I’m putting it off for as long as possible! Today I implemented map generation, randomly placing boxes sufficiently far enough from players.
I also added controls for other players, which reminded me of my local multiplayer experience with Boxhead. I miss having multiple people on play a single keyboard. These days it would be awkward to play that way.

It actually had to do with the collision lifecycle, so to make the player detectable, I decoupled the check from the lifecycle of the bomb. Because of this, I could revert the player’s bomb timer to normal. Moving away from a project and letting your brain sit on a problem for a while really does wonders.

- MAJOR BUG ALERT!!
Apparently my collision logic for the bombs weren’t going to hold up. Every time a bomb explodes, there is a small time window where you can place a bomb and the bomb would not recognize the player, making it a “not new” bomb. Because of that, the player gets pushed off right away and could end up in the weirdest of places.
After hours of debugging I couldn’t really solve it because of how the collision library orders the entity updates.

My Worst Semester so Far – Charles Ancheta
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Fall 2023 was my first semester coming back after being out of school for 16
+months (I tried taking CHINA 101 in Fall 2022 but dropped it after a week).
+
Because of that, I have forgotten how to study. Both midterms and finals went
+pretty horribly. It’s not even that I don’t care about grades anymore, and I
+definitely could have done better if I just did the practice exams thoughtfully.
+
Maybe it’s because I only had two courses which meant that it was hard to care
+about school, or that there are too many distractions now. Instagram and
+MonkeyType are definitely the worst offenders, maybe
+抖音 and 小红书, too.
+It surely would’ve been worse if I added Tiktok to the mix.
+
I think it’s time to bring back first-year studying habits, which was having all
+my notes in a clipboard and having no distracting apps. Especially with my
+capstone project, it’s going to be a challenging semester and I gotta lock in.
