day 22/30 of productivity

studying SQL and to make it fun I made a database of my favourite hockey teams and players 🏒

day 14 + 15/30 of productivity

calc II mid exam prep. i am scared but I'm doing my best 🧘🏾‍♀️ first two photos are a cappuccino my brother brought me and a trip to the park a few days ago.

day 13/30 of productivity

still tired. Im going to have another exam after this week and then in a month it'll be finals and in between all that I have assignments to submit and worksheets to complete 😞 but summer break's coming and I'll rest soon.

day 10/30 of productivity

this was from yesterday where i spent the whole day (and night) cramming for my computer architecture and assembly language exam. it went well!

day 9 of 30 days of productivity

90 minutes of computer architecture cos i have an exam on saturday.

day 8/30 of productivity

a little more calculus and a lot of assembly language 🙄

day 5+6/30 of productivity

a good few days of studying- mainly database and calculus. mid exams start after next week and Im not feeling as anxious anymore because I'm catching up on things :)

day 4/30 of productivity

calc II after procrastinating on it all week. I finished ch1 and did half of a worksheet.

day 2/30 of productivity

database systems. this class is mainly memorization (at least for now) so I'm using flashcards. today I revised ch 1 then studied and made flashcards for ch2.

day 1/30 of productivity

3 hours of assembly language. first two hours of studying were really hard (I was NOT motivated) but I pushed through and the last hour in the evening was easier :) assembly's fucking awful tho

im not posting on here as much because im just not studying which is very very bad. ive lost sight of my goals and motivations, im putting my hobbies above doing uni work and i need to get back on track before the work piles up, i forget what ive learned and it becomes impossible. so im going to tentatively do a 30 days of productivity challenge on this blog, starting today. ill try to post pictures if i can or just a to do list for the day. it doesnt have to be perfect, i just need to do more than im doing now (which is almost nothing).

goals for the challenge/the rest of the semester:

revise c++ and do some projects to refresh what i know

start self-studying oop in c++

study current courses and prep for exams

calc I revision cos im taking calc II this semester plus my setup in siyuan

notes from when I was studying for finals plus code from a group assignment where we made a bank management system with c++. it was fine and we got a good grade in it but we had to abandon our original plan because we didn't have enough time and ended up making a simpler version. I'm going to try to make it on my own this week.

also i keep forgetting about this blog, will try to post more in second sem. hope you're all well :)

notes and practice from the last chapter in our prog II class: file management. it's actually a fun topic.

exams killed me so the 30 days of code did not make it past the first week, maybe i'll start again another time.

day 7 of 30 days of code

(didn't do anything yesterday cos I was really sick of studying)

today I did the last of the functions exercises. i used my white board and talked aloud about each function as I wrote it and it helped a lot.

day 6 of 30 days of code

skipped class to study today and i did 4hrs of coding. i finished almost all the exercises from our prof (i have one left i half completed but i'll do it properly tomorrow). used the forest app cos i saw a studyblr post yesterday and the snow and christmas trees looked so pretty i wanted to have my own.

day 5 of 30 days of code

(didn't do anything yesterday cos i was out all day and had a headache when i came home)

today i redid an exercise our prof gave in class.

day 4 of 30 days of code

my programming II exam is next friday and it's all about functions. today i finished revising every topic in the chapter and filled in any gaps in my knowledge. i feel much more confident about it now :)

day 3 of 30 days of code

functions practice as usual, and structures (they're fun, it's cool to make your own datatype). and i ditched vs community in favour of dev c++ because it was being weird and not compiling some programs and i didn't want to waste time trying to figure it out.

day 2 of 30 days of code

(ignoring the fact that i already skipped two days)

more functions practice.

day 1 of 30 days of code

honestly don't know if i can do something every day for a month, much less post about it on here regularly but i'm going to try. no pressure though, if i'm ill or super tired i'm allowed to skip a day or two. but i'm going to give it a go, even if some days it's like 10 lines that i write on my phone on my commute home. and i think it'll be easier to post on here because i just have to take a screenshot of my code.

anyway tonight i focused on user input validation because it's something i kinda forget about when working with functions.

kinda forgot about this blog but here's some pictures from the last few weeks. it's midterms season and i've been focusing on studying for exams instead of on programming practice, which i don't like. i'm thinking of doing sth like 30 days of code so i don't fall behind on my c++ studying, even if it's just a tiny bit done each day.

hope you're all doing well!

for loops practice + a linear algebra worksheet I had to do this afternoon.

C++ studying is going well, I'm using Starting out with C++ by Tony Gladdis because it has loads of exercises for every topic.

c++ practice. i've been using notion to keep notes and track my studying

I love you codeblr! I love you blogs who compile a shit load of resources and post them! I love you reblog threads of people helping one person with a code issue! I love you codeblr discord! I love you codeblr!

data structures and algorithms notes. I actually enjoyed studying it :)

electric circuit fundamentals + coffee

✧･ﾟ: Customize your highlight color! :･ﾟ✧

I recently came across a blog where when I went to highlight some text I noticed it was a unique color!!! (」°ロ°)」

AND IT'S SO SIMPLE TO DO

all you do is go to your css file and add this:

::selection { background: <hexcolor> }

Enjoy!! ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡

c-tetris is finished!

Holy crap this is the largest coding project I've ever completed. Over the last 7 months I've been recreating Tetris from the ground up, without any game engines or libraries or whatever. Everything, from code to art to sound effects, is made by me! I made this! And I published it on Itch.io!

You can get it → here ←

Hey guys, it's been a minute since my last Tetris devlog. For those of you that are new here: Hi! Welcome! I'm making a Tetris clone of sorts completly from scratch without any game engines or libraries or anything of the sort, writing all the code and making all the assets myself. It's running on a custom-built engine I wrote (or rather, am writing) in C, using the Windows API for window creation and sound output and other low-level stuff.

Development has been going pretty smoothly since my last devlog. There's sound effects now! And new music! And new graphics! And pausing! And text rendering! And save files! And a lot of other things besides. I've spent a decent chunk of the time on behind the scenes stuff to just make the game run better basically. There's still a lot to do left but at this point the game has really started to come together. I'm really happy with it so far :3

You can find the GitHub repo here if you wanna compile it or just take a gander at the code or whatever. Please don't steal anything I will cry if you do and you don't want that on your conscious right? :(
