i have turned my car simulator into a flight simulator now

Tired of having to click to craft and mine? Just set up a colony! For the low low price of free, they will give you more items of types that you already own

Am now receiving sensor data from the board and can also send data to the board too

It took me way longer than I care to admit, but I finally refactored some of my code to make the registration flow work better, and now activation emails get sent out with actual activation codes/urls

Got my smtp server set up and nodejs sending emails!

We got our character fully animated! Meet Adam Ravine!

Server-side field validation progress. I think REEEE is an excellent description what's wrong, don't you?

an enemy from the game the team I'm in is creating

I got some basic sign up validation done 😄

Just finished our platforming physics for our game:

my progress so far 🙂 you can give him a flower by pressing the button <:pikauwu:758748308343750657> not that impressive yet haha but we’re getting there!

Just finished our main sprite! I really like how it came out 😄

Here's what we have so far, a moving blue square:

Our progress for day one on our underground 2D/3D platformer, ima go to sleep now, gn yall

And if it is a Gas Giant, the drill is swapped for a generic looking collection device

I made the backing a bit darker to make it stand out more

Looking pretty good<:pikauwu:758748308343750657>

I also made a planet that totally isn't made of eyes

can we get this incredible game to the codeday frontpage

I put the codeday logo on my hardware kit

I put together an actual color pallet and then went through and re-colored all my creatures and potions to abide by it

my first electron app 😉 . It may be stock electron doc but still progress

Hosted an interactive sound festival this morning at school. Powering it was a massive system of NodeMCUs, a web app, python scripts, an API and groovy Sonic Pi code  https://github.com/sampoder/sound-festival

Bit of a surprise for during CodeDay, but I showed Erika a preview and here's what she said:

Now potion levels are somewhat not insane

i posted about my Trans Pride Bot™️ a couple days ago BUT
i Did end up rewriting it entirely -- it now works much faster, has much simpler syntax, is backed by an Actual Database, and it's fully documented on my personal website

There's a place in tech for everyone.
