During my half term, I wanted to better prepare for my N5 computing assignment. I decided its best to do this through a Python course! I came to this decision after I began thinking about uploading more to my github, The reason for this is because I had a goal, last year, to get a full green carpet for at least 50 days on Github, uploading a new project, or addition to project everyday. I first tried to do this through my C++ console-based games, this didnt go on for very long even though I continued working on them and I kind-of forgot about Github for awhile. Recently, I`ve been feeling more and more motivated to upload and increase my coding skill, so I signed up for a Python bootcampon Udemy, it follows Angelina Yu across a variety of topics, starting at the humble beginings of data types, going to automating my own online bots on social media this course really covers it all. I`m very excited to reach the later stages on the course, as right now I`m still quite early on, you can view my progress on the embed below!
With my game development came the need for producing my own assets, through this I developed the ones shown below, and much more. I learnt about the basics of blender. First learning about the viewport and how to manage it, then moving on to all the edit modes and selection types. It was extrmely fun to learn about it, and even more fun to put it in practice, creating an amazing final product that I can use in a bigger project, such as a game.
Dolphsol Macro is an AHK based macro that aims to automate the game called 'Sols RNG' on roblox, I was obsessed with this aimless game after my friend showed it to me one night. The aim of the game is to `roll` for auras, these auras visually look stunning, and you`re able to use them for crafting recipies leading to higher chances of rolling better auras. As you can tell from the game, it gets boring fast. One way I countered this is by joining the project, Dolphsol Macro. I first found it through a youtube tutorial on the installation proccess, after I thought it was a stroke of genuis I wondered how it worked. This led me down the rabbithole of a lifetime; I joined their discord and talked to the owner (and creator) behind the scenes, I asked him about the functions of certian aspects of the macro and he responded enthusiastically, even leading to make a section in the discord where he described it publically! Eventually I joined as their staff, meant to moderate the server and I rose the ranks extrmely quickly, even becoming their first admin. One role of being staff was also to help others with their questions, lots of people had struggles with the installation, this lead to my idea of uploading tutorials to youtube for people to use. My video got around 14K views and helped lots of people! After doing so much for the server I grew closer to the owner at this point I asked if I was able to help work on the macro, willing to learn anything I needed to. He gave me a challange to learn ahk, and then use my knowlage to code new pathways for the macro. These pathways are extremly important as it helps you go around the map collecting potions to aid you in the aimless journey to get the best auras. After I completed the task I continued coding with the macro updating stuff when needed, the popularity slowed down and so did the macros updates. Soon I got bored and very inactive, this led to me resigning, and leaving the server. Ending my jounrey with Dolphsol Macro.
