The game is in development!
I don't really have anything else to say here.

Around a week ago I installed SFML onto my computer and I began my journey into making games! I recreated an old game of mine (as previously mentioned) and now I'm working on an isometric-perspective, warped space (some people call non-euclidean, which is technically wrong from what I remember) sort-of-puzzle game. This past week I spent a couple of days working on an isometric map renderer from scratch, which proved to be very very annoying, but I was extremely pleased with the result once I actually got it to work. After that, I had to think what I was actually going to do with the renderer I made. I thought about making a puzzle game around pushing blocks and stuff, which would probably be great practice for coding a game in C++, but I thought it'd be too much work, and after I remembered some warped space concept games, I decided to go with that idea. I finished writing the warped space scripts today, and like earlier, I was very pleased. It's a bit lacking in game/puzzle mechanics, and I haven't implemented the functionality of some I've already started working on (along with not animating the player yet), but if I give it some more effort and myself more time, I'll maybe be able to finish this game in about another week.
I have a more long-term goal pertaining to game-development, and that's to create an RPG. However, I know I am NOWHERE near that level of experience yet, and I need to get comfortable the basics of game development first. I could of course use RPG Maker or an actual game engine thing like Godot, but considering that my background in game development is literally 98% comprised of making video games on Scratch (and 2% messing around in Roblox Studio many years ago), I'm more used to making things from the ground up anyway.
In unrelated news, this SITE! I still want to redesign it but I never really got around to it. Maybe soon...

I've been visiting several more websites, and as of now, WOW I really want to redesign this website. Originally, my idea of this website would be a "square" with which you would access different pages. But I've been seeing the "traditional" website style of a list of blog posts, and some pages for other things. Now I'm not someone who typically follows the "norm" (well, personal websites are relatively niche), but I've come to really like "that" kind of website, so I'm still going to continue to redesign this place :D

Aeugaughughhh. I've got a physics exam tomorrow (on thermodynamics, fun!!!!!) and a calculus exam the day after (not as bad). But I'm gonna ignore that for now!
I really want to get more involved in game development, so I spent a lot of my free time designing a game I have in mind. Anyway, the main thing I learned today is that designing and creating a game in a simple teeny little library thing (SFML) is going to be a lot harder than I initially anticipated. Aside from that, nothing's really been going on.

It's been a pretty nice weekend. I decided to actually manage my time, so I finished all my homework on Saturday, which left me plenty of time to re-explore my ideas and hobbies. I've installed SFML, and now I'm learning C++, so I can begin working on "actual" video games (the ones I've made before were all on Scratch). I have much to learn about independent game development, and although I've already recreated an old game of mine from several years ago, that only means that I've covered the basics. Still though, it's all very cool and I hope to get better!

I'm beginning to redo this website in a few ways. When I first made it, I thought I'd use it for making little javascript things for people to play with and use. Consequently, I never got around to doing that. Anyway, I have a clearer idea of what I want to do with this place (although, it's an idea that'll always need time for refining)-- I'm going to continue with the blog posts, but I'm going to base this site around something called "my binder" or something like that. It's going to be a collection of tutorials (which I haven't really been doing), cool websites I'm finding, etc. I guess we'll see how this goes!
