FINAL DEVLOG
I’m sorry that I couldn’t devlog like I should’ve. But since I need to
keep my streak, I felt like making a rushed post. I wanted to make one
huge last devlog with everything I’ve done in the last 7 hours.
First add: I added random images to the ‘intro’ screen, you’ll see
images other than the cat now.
Second add: I made a choosable cue sound for the LOCK IN text.
And the final add was the Pomodoro timer with break music.
My stupid mistakes:
I lost a lot of time on the preload because I always got something
spelled wrong, and since I forgot to open devtools, it was a nightmare.
Then, for fileName, I typed __filename instead. Node already uses that
for something else.
And while I was fixing the blacklist and adding some tooltips, I
deleted an important div. Everything was sitting sideways for some
reason.
The Pomodoro timer made me crazy.
The code was hard, but figuring out
what to do was harder. I went round in circles debating whether to
divide by 4, or use fixed 25-minute blocks, or wondering if the time
you write down is the total duration or just the work itself. In the
end, this is what I settled on: the number you write down is ONLY the
work time, it doesn’t include breaks, so the actual session always
takes longer. 25-minute blocks, a short break in between, and a long
break at the end.
There are some minor tweaks I did, but I think I’m going to write
those in the shiplog instead. That’s it.
Bye
