Kenny is learning Android Kotlin πŸ“˜

Trying to overcome procrastination and perfectionism one day at a time

Helped colleague with python code

Some kind of embedded testing they are doing, so I was trying to help with the existing codebase understanding

Made progress with reading Mere Christianity

Finished two more chapters. To be honest, I think I will need to re-read it again. Some of the philosophy makes sense in the moment, but I don't feel a lasting understanding is coming of it.

Uploaded edited video to youtube

Learnt that we cannot reupload a video content on youtube, need to create a new video from scratch.

Spent some time in video editing

Realized how much of a thankless job it is, to edit 5 to 10 minutes takes around an hour :(

Spent time learning more about video storytelling

Still trying to figure out the process of going from idea to a script and then to editing a video. Watched a breakdown of James Jani videos.

Fixed array coordinate logic computation for tic tac toe

This is kind of interesting, when the user makes a play, they are clicking with the mouse on the grid. This gives us the mouse coordinates within the svg. From these coordinates, we need to figure out the x and y cell coordinate in which the user pressed.

x = mousePointerYValue / (boardheight/3)
y = mousePointerXValue / (boardWidth/3)

This gives the cell position (e.g. (2,1)) that the user pressed in

I find it difficult to conceptualize x proportional to mouse -> YValue, can you explain how it is right?

Made progress with tic tac toe for youtube

Cleaned up the code and changed up some variables, refactored some code into reusable functions, etc.

Made some more progress with YouTube

Continued working on the codebase with some refactoring and better variable naming

Practiced drawing with a chalk brush in Krita

Played around with the existing chalk brush in Krita to customize it to my liking.

Followed a YouTube tutorial on how to create a text with floral embellishments

Not able to add image here for some reason.

Spent time learning more about visual storytelling

Made progress with tic tac toe implementation for YouTube project

Learning a lot about using in HTML and how to place items correctly based on the coordinate system.

Also learnt how to draw an X using the tag by giving the midpoint (x, y) location. The line needs start (x, y) and ending (x, y) coordinates. Computed that using Trigonometry and I was super proud of myself! Finally mathematics having a use :)

Made progress with learning digital drawing

Made in Krita by following this tutorial https://youtu.be/JQYtkSXdjcc
