  13. In an effort to make a game with @messerman for #HackingTheGrepson, I'm learning the game engine known as Defold. DEE-fold? DEF-old? Duh-FOLD? Whatever.

    Starting with their Platformer tutorial, and trying to see what I can modify, improve, tinker.

    You learn as much by breaking a working example as you do making it better. Let's change this number and see what it does! To think that something like Super Mario Brothers was an arcane mystery and now a downloadable tutorial...

    Regarding the latest episode (049) of the #HackingTheGrepson podcast, I decided to make a more full-featured solution using the #FetchAPI. I now know how to pull puzzle input directly from the #adventofcode site, which is pretty cool.

  35. Almost at 100 episodes for the Hacking the Grepson podcast! Our host has a list of our episodes, but I wanted more control over it, so I made this: michaelchadwick.info/podcasts/

    For fun, I took our longest ep and "ranked" all others against it. If it's 50% as long or shorter, it gets only green squares. The longer the episode, the more squares, and the more they turn to yellow and red.

    It's a way to see this info at a glance, visually represent them, and keep us in check!
