I honestly thought at the time that I was working quite well, but looking back at it, I didn't make very much progress. I was also not in the habit of committing very often,
so that really didn't help my case. One key thing I remember struggling with was the images. Since I was still developing in the backend for whatever reason, I didn't know about the
static folder. Once I finally figured that out, I got my images again working, seen in this commit. fixed up my images it works now yay
- My goals at this point were to:
- Complete the first part of my game (all the generators, make a lot of upgrades)
- Add a way to implement some kind of API
I honestly didn't 100% understand how API's and everything worked, so a lot of this week was me doing research.
So what did I end up finishing?
By the end of the first part of the week, I had actually gone way past my goal. I had done a good amount of work at home, and had added that little "spice" I wanted to introduce
into my game. I had added a gacha system for the richer players to spend their hard earned coins in. I had also rebranded the game to be fully centered
around a funny picture of my friend, and a meme we had created out of it named Alex Coins. Now, I had turned the whole point of the game into
collecting and generating enough Alex Coins to win the game in the end. I had also outlined a plan for the end of my game, which was to
have a sort of tycoon where you end up building a rocket. It sounds odd now, but I wanted the player to slowly gather materials
to put something together to kind of "escape" the game. I had a whole animation planned out as well! The last thing I completed was
to do with the API part of this week. I modified the jokes API, and after an embarassingly long while and a lot of time on ChatGPT,
I was able to understand how it all worked, and got a few jokes appearing on the users screen to keep them "entertained".
(In this commit I added the jokes and in this one I added the gacha)
