yumaikas's December Adventure 2024

Day 18

Well, I -have- been coding things, but I've not done a good job at documenting them here.

has seen a lot of work over the weekend. A GDScript backend got added, and worked on, though the task I -wrote- the GDScript backend -for- didn't end up working out. Vera's strengths as a coordiation language help when coordiation is the burden, but they're less notable if the problem is something else that needs prototyped in a short burst, at least for me, for now.

I'm also starting on a little recreation of one of those "pick 3 matching items from a 3D field of things" in Godot. My partner enjoys that sort of game, but has been hitting level walls in the ones on the apple app store.

-Oh-, there's a bug in Godot 4's GridMaps where the `get_used_cells` and `get_used_cells_by_id` both only return the first... 24? Only so many of the cells. You can use `get_meshes` instead, but yeah. I feel like there's going to be a dumb bug in there somehow, and I might dive into it, but not now.

Day 11

Had jsvera loosely swirling through my head off an on through the day. Added a couple of lines. Over the new few days, I want to finish the calculator program.

Day 8, 9, 10

I'm -not- doing a good job keeping up with this, I've done some work on jsvera, and a little bit of tiny code Christmas

Day 5 - 7

So, the past few days have been a bit of a blur of working on jsvera.

Day 4

Did more work on jsvera today, getting the first pass of parsing done, and working on getting compilation to Javascript done. But, only a bit today.

Day 3

Got over the first big hump on js vera! Next up will be getting the pass infrastructure ported over, and/or wokring on getting this mounted into an HTML page that acts as a test fixture. I'm sure there's bugs in this code, heh

Day 2

Got started on this waaaaaay late, which meant that I didn't get this update in on time. Shifted gears from a demo page to more porting from lvera for today

Day 1

So far today, transliterated the tokenizer of lvera to javascript, and started on a little test page to gather cases and show outputs. Hoping to have a lil functional demo page tomorrow.

My first go at December Adventure: 0

In years past, I've typically attempted Advent of Code as a sort of December-based programming activity. Usually, the result is that I get somewhere between 3 and 10 days in, get burned out of writing a lot of parsing code, and then drop it as the holiday business grows.

This year, I'm trying something different. Devine Lu Linvega told me about December Adventure, which is a lot more low key

So, going to be doing that. I think, as my focus, I'm going to pick away at porting lvera to GDScript and/or Javascript, depending on how much time I have.

I also plan on doing some small programs in Vera itself.

But, if life demonstrates anything, it's that time brings change :D
