started the slack bot project!

i added the code in from the guide that allows the bot to reply when someone uses a command, but currently you can use it only if im running the code for it.

i like that ive learned how to run some commands inside the terminal, since i had rarely done that before.

it was a bit confusing installing the necessary things required for it like node and nest, but i figured it out, and my nest application was approved, so i will work on getting this slack bot running 24/7!

finally added guitar picks :)

designed some funky guitar picks that are collectable once the guitar player collides with it. i also programmed an animation so they float.

i really like how the guitar picks contrast a lot, making them easy to see.

i struggled a lot with figuring out why my script couldn’t find the timer node, since i (thought i) had followed the guide exactly. my mistake was that i didn’t label the text (which had to be named timer so the script could find it), so “timer” never actually existed. i consulted claude a bit to help me debug this issue.

this helped me learn how to debug script problems and a good reminder to check what things are named

so far, this has been pretty fun! my godot DID randomly crash, which freaked me out so much, but nothing was lost! remember to ctrl + s!

started on my first minigame!

it got some platforms, and the player is able to jump on each one of them.

it was hard placing each platform in a good height where the player could jump on it with ease, while also making an engaging parkour setup where it had some sort of challenge that was fun to play through.

i learned a lot about how different shapes for collisions worked, like how the oval collision that i chose for my player allows it to climb up the edges of each platform, which i thought was a nice feature!

started a warioware inspired game! so far, i have a format for a main menu done and the buttons lead to different scenes. the trickiest part was trying to set godot up with github, and also the tracking time plugin. i had to put the super wakatime addons inside the project folder manually to fix it. once i got that figured out and working, things have been simple. the guide has been a huge help on starting this!

did some formatting, struggled a LOT with making the text look centered and neat, as well as trying to get the image onto the right side. i was able to fix it with flex-direction: reverse row, display: flex, and all of those flex box adjustments. i had to go onto a learning app (mimo) to remember all of the css flexbox stuff which helped a LOT

added two pages: facts and credits, and stylized the webpage a bit. i couldnt figure out how to add the image as the background, so i asked claude for help: my issue was that the image link was trying to find a path, but it didnt need to find a path since the image was already in the same folder.

making my own website huzzah! a lot of paragraphs on the website so far, trying to remember the html and css knowledge i used have years ago. nothin much so far but i am referencing old works (they were pretty basic but helpful) and it’s helping me get into a flow and kinda guide me on what i should do next, such as reminding me that you can add links
