Devlog #2

Overview:

Hi everyone! Thanks for following my project :) This is only Devlog 2 because this was my first project and didn’t know about devlogs before. As you may already know, I shipped my project after Devlog 1. I made some major changes, thanks to everyone who reviewed my project and gave me the valuable feedback! I added instructions at the top, continued telemetry (realistically - doesn’t stop halfway, continues until it is zero), made amount of rocket fuel needed more realistic, and more.

Challenges:

• Sorting out where to put the telemetry communication: I consistently was putting it in the wrong place until I found out that I was changing up the function which was calling it, not what defined it. Also I kept having issues with STATES.IDLE and STATES.SPACE, which I kept messing around with for like half an hour before I decided I needed an if/then statement, not a while loop.

Lessons Learned

• I should keep commenting in my code because I made this a WHILE ago, so I was kinda blanking on parts of my code
• Keep persevering! I spent about an hour trying to figure out this issue

Future

• I am trying to incorporate a reset button so people don’t have to reload their browser every time to start a new rocket launch! Keep following, stay tuned, and see you in the next devlog! Thanks!
