Some projects have halted for a bit, some I did small things on. The curse of AUDHD. However. I was playing Old School Runescape and was getting a little nostalgic to the good old days. I decided to teach myself programming in Rust to see if I could make a small scale MSN Messenger clone. For 5-20 friends. There are a lot of interesting disciplines that come up to do such a thing. Backend, Frontend, all the networking disciplines, and that’s also good training for some of my game projects later on.

How it stands now. I have installed Rust and did some little practice coding. Learning the difference betwen mutable and immutable variables, a basic for loop, how to get a user’s keyboard input, and a hard coded message on a hard coded if/else check. keep an eye on the portfolio, as I track progress there also. MSN’t: A Rust Practice Messenger.

Did some more work on the side scroller project. implemented a button and gate logic, learned how to make nodes interact with eachother. Also added a level exit, which learned me how to check if requirements are met to continue. overall a productive evening.

Worked on the side scroller. Implemented an enemy_base script (may 28th) and added a patrolling enemy.

After 2 years of hiberantion, decided to revive this site. Fixed MariaDB, reconfigured Apache, and recovered WordPress. Up and running again!
