Mortals! What's up.
This font feels awfully large...
That better? I dunno, it looks right on here, but I think it used to have a problem of text scaling between the post editor and the final piece. Always made the text hard to read on the actual post.
We'll stick with this size for now, and see how it comes out.
Anyway! This blog!
So, I haven't exactly been very active, development-wise lately. Stuff keeps getting in the way or seeming more appealing an activity. It was mostly D&D or video games, but I have been attending a Traineeship last couple of weeks at BT.
...Sorry, none of you actually care about my personal life. Right, development. No progress since the last post, so I decided to make this one to give me something of an incentive to get me to work on my projects. During my Traineeship, I was advised to look into software development as a career path, so, I thought, let's start making some software. Something that can be put onto a phone, something that can demonstrate my design and coding abilities (what there is of them).
Well... I already had one of those sort-of in the works.
This is the very lowest phase of a Tabletop RolePlaying Game (TRPG) Companion App that I thought I'd put together. Basic idea is that it would work on most phones, making TRPGs like Dungeons and Dragons easier to play. Primary function will be dice rolling, with a few other features built in, more as convenience measures to make the genre more accessible.
When I first started playing D&D, one of the first things I had to do was purchase dice. Like, a lot of dice. I've got maybe 30 or 40 dice just sitting in my top drawer right now, not doing a great deal most of the time, and I had to order them off Amazon, it was this whole barrier to entry for me.
Only problem is that I'm still trying to find all of my notes for this thing, I fear that a lot of them would have been lost when I last moved. Didn't record them in a permanent fashion, unfortunately.
But, worst case scenario, I continue by re-conceiving any ideas that were lost. Shouldn't be too hard, I'm not a terribly complex thinker.
So yes, that's what I'm hopefully going to be working on this week, mostly as a piece of evidence to show to potential employers that "Hey, I can do things, hire me!"
I'll leave it there for the time being, mortals. Probably just gonna type up a few lines of code and then go back to bed. Traineeship gets me up early every morning, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't resent that fact.
Until the next post, mortals, praise that God Emperor with all your might!
