Welcome back to me learning Bitsy and being overambitious with my goals.
I've been trying to wrap my head around how to post this because I think my original goal was to put a tiny game on my page each day of October, but I don't think that's what I want to do anymore since I want this to be one big cohesive thing. Instead I'm just going to post a log of what I did for each day and what I learned, post some progress gifs, and the html file to play and mess with.
Prompt 1: Rainfall
[html]
Today's vignette is about the smoke from the Californian wildfires that overtook the pacific northwest and the rainfall that helped clear it away. Told through checking the weather on my phone.
I started with the main studio and the phone. My reconnaissance let me know I could merge Bitsys and I could use different avatars for different rooms. I have not done a ton of coding and I did not know exactly how. So today was about learning how to do that more than anything. I spent a lot of time combing through source code and game data, trying to fulling understand the formatting and what the code was telling the software to do. I felt like I had almost figured it out, but resorted to asking the Bitsyfolk for help (tysm).
I was missing some commas. Classic.
I've learned a bit about pacing, the format of the Bitsy game data (and how to make changes from the game data plain text file), some file organization habits, and how to utilize hacks.
There's a few changes that need to be made to this section and I don't know if it's even going to be the first vignette in this whole thing. But. I feel good about the work I've done here today.
