When I first set my goals for 2021, I had anticipated learning a lot more about Kotlin and its quirks. And what better way to put it through the test, by using it in a game jam?
postmortem
Game jams are kind of like a roulette of good and bad luck; you never really know how a game will turn out until the jam in question is over.

I recently participated in the 129th Trijam game jam in which I had to make a game in three hours. While I didn’t quite make that mark, I had a lot of fun participating in last week’s jam.
goals
So long, 2020, and good riddance. I hope 2021 will be better than the dumpster fire that was the previous year, and I hope to accomplish some more things this year. Earlier in December, I posted a short list on Ko-fi with some goals I had in mind. Since then, I’ve thought of a couple extra goals.
goals
Okay, so that was a thing… 2020 really threw us in for a loop.

For the Fall 2020 semester, I developed a game for macOS called The Costumemaster. Suffice to say, it didn’t work as intended, and I didn’t get anywhere exciting with it. However, I did play with machine learning in the final weeks of the semester.
opinion
Apple, you continue to surprise me. I’m being serious; I was genuinely thrown off-guard with macOS Big Sur this year as my friends and I watched the WWDC 2020 livestream keynote on Monday.

Around the time of WWDC last year, I went and redesigned my website to make use of simple, but effective, styles. The stylesheet mostly consisted of adding padding to places, creating shadowed cards, and responding to the users’ preference of themes.
goals
It’s finally here: 2020! The start of a new decade means it’s time for me to make some new goals for this year! While I don’t necessarily set new year’s resolutions, I do set some goals since they seem to lead me to completely new experiences, even if I don’t quite hit the mark.
goals
As 2019 comes to a close, it’s time for me to take a look back at my goals and accomplishments throughout the year. 2019 was definitely an interesting year for me in a lot of ways, especially in the developer space. Without further ado, 2019 in review.

I love torturing myself. Or at least I think I do. I just don’t know what it is, but I always find it rather fun and exciting to see where Ren'Py can fit in places it shouldn’t.

In my previous post, I had discussed how I managed to get Ren'Py to work more nicely with Xcode as an Xcode project, meaning that Ren'Py developers that also develop apps for macOS, iOS, etc. can still do their work without having to leave Xcode.
