I’ve been reading Harry Potter the last few days and drinking tea. I’ve finished books two yesterday morning, three today, and have moved on to book four just now. Crazy how much detail I’d forgotten over the years. Don’t tell my kids I’ve been reading it without them. 🤭

Mainly Minecraft and Roblox, mainly because of my kids. I’ve been learning to use Roblox studio and building a replica of the local park/downtown area in it as an excuse to practice using the software. I would love to try playing poker some time, I used to go to a high school friend’s house to play ages ago and always enjoyed it.

I just used normal printer paper in our epsom inkjet printer. There are some lines from the printer but my hope was having a full wall of the drawings would distract from that. Ideally I think you’d have a local shop print them on matte cardstock at at least 300dpi but I’m not extremely knowledgeable on this. I mainly wanted to be able to see the drawings I’ve done. Having them tucked away on the iPad it was easy to forget all the time and effort I’d put into them. Now I can glance up and think about what I’d like to draw next and feel like I’ve actually made something. 😅

When my grandfather was in town recently, i mentioned to him there ought to be a book for fathers on how to be more empathetic with their children and their partners, that it would make their lives more fulfilling and their relationships more whole. He said why aren’t you writing it. I said I don’t feel qualified. He indicated you seem like you have thought about it enough to at least try. I don’t know… I don’t feel i’m the right person to write such a thing, but does anyone feel so when they begin a project?

It kind of varies from day-to-day. at the moment I’m using a bearing called a center track which is flat in the middle and has two 45° angles on either side directing the string towards the center but they’re all flat.
This is a new string for me. This is from a company that went out of business about a year back or so. They were called Bad Wolfe Co. it’s a thicker and heavier string. A couple weeks ago I noticed I had a few I got a couple years ago and thought I should try it out. I’m not really sure what it was called.

I figured making the game loop pick left or right randomly each time would ensure that the player wasn’t simply memorizing the path. I have been thinking of game ideas. Maybe a head to head race, or a high score board where you keep going until you give up/fail and then the final score is saved to the server so promote some competition… I don’t really know what I’m doing. Just forcing myself to do something.

2024-08-08 16:56:35

My kids keep asking me to work on games in Roblox Studio so I spent some time last night and this morning working on a random simple game idea I had with the help of ChatGPT.
My efforts on this project were focused on making an extremely simple Obby. In this obstacle course the player is told to go left or right. If they choose the wrong platform they start over. If they get the correct platform they can continue towards the end of the game.
I wanted to make some left/right challenges to help my kids with memorizing them so I combined all the things and now I have a game no kid would play. But it works! :) I need to continue iterating with it but I’m excited that it works. https://www.roblox.com/games/18861264552/Left-or-Right
