Here’s a demo of a game I made in Sprig. I started yesterday afternoon and this is what I have right now. My computer actually crashed yesterday and deleted like all the art so I had to redo that lol. I initially wanted to make a flight sim but I ended up simulating gravity (even though this is supposed to be like a tile-based map kind of game engine) and things just naturally happened from there. Thanks to @ced for all the bug fixing ~and no thanks to ced for all the crummy error messages sprig gives you~ :angryeyes:. Also thanks to Leo and Kara. 10/10 would recommend you try out sprig.hackclub.dev. I don’t often post here but someone told me I should. Here’s a link to the game as it is now: sprig.hackclub.dev/?id=69498e0157d29c9dafa168e998e82712. See if you can figure out the cheat code that lets you skip a level. Currently adding a score system (which will rely on a hacky text renderer ced made today). I’m really excited to see this on a physical console.

posting because ced wants me to: @ced here you go: microworlds.hackclub.dev/?id=b18f167c332a1121fff537bb446404f4

@meridi’s at my house after I casually asked him to come over at midnight yesterday! We’re talking about satellites and @pranav came too

Hosted a Deck Of Cards CLI workshop for HC today!

Today was such an insane day omg omg I flew an RC airplane for the first time in a relatively small field which made the experience so scary omg omg I visited the famous Seattle Space Needle which was surprisingly built in the 1960s. Also they had very cool glass art Idk why the italics are still on dammit slack mobile but today I also played the ukulele a bit :eggsdee: I don’t actually know how to play it so I was just plucking strings in a pattern like on zephyr :ukulele-ishan: I also configured my new Mac so now it has a perfectly configured terminal and a custom Firefox theme and a lot of other essential utils and apps and I did my history homework on it Oh and I also went to beechers which has epic Mac and Cheese (the worlds best apparently) and lasagna. Oh and my cousin is visiting us, this was his first full day here. I’ll send my epic and very scary rc plane maiden and a photo of the plane

Had fun speaking for 1h20m at @warren's hackathon called Midnight Hacks about CLIs (we all made one together)

First ever trick or treat!!

So dogs can read the dogecoin docs.

Stroberry DNA

Did the Ross doge stream, watched the rain, I thought it was poetic: just thinking about how this planet is so supportive of life, water just dripping from the floating water stations above. Also banged my foot on the floor. Also I pranked an Apple employee at Costco yesterday by running top in a scary green terminal also look at this log oh I also went to Trader Joe’s for the first time

Duckcoin: change how blocks are stored Advertised HC at my school today

OOP, forgot to show this

so today I did a heck of a lot of work on duckcoin, I'll let the commit message tell you:

HARD FORK: change the way block hashes are calculated for increased speed, improve docs, nicer server UI, add automatic difficulty calculating, automatic difficulty checking, abstract away the <http://big.Int|big.Int> part so difficulty is represented as the average number of hashes needed.

I also am finally starting to read Foundation by Isaac Asimov, and whoa this book has been in my school library since at least 1999. Also did a heck of a lot of work on homework, damn you Mr Wiebe. Physics homework was nice tho. ALSO LOOK AT THIS REALLY FUNNY METHOD SOME IDIOTS AT SOME OTHER TABLE WROTE THAT WE HAD TO FOLLOW OUT IN BIOTECHNOLOGY WE WERE IN HYSTERICS "4 BEAKER" AND MEASURING THE HEIGHT AND WIDTH OF FREAKING GUMMY BEARS :eggsdee: :fb-laugh:

Today I basically finished the Dogecoin CoC, did a massive refactor of Duckcoin to aid readability (2a766cd3), made the difficulty controls on Duckcoin as fine grained as possible (769bea24) and did school and very little homework (fun, physics one). Also vibed to Crazy Frog with my sister.

Oh my god, school is taking up so much of my time. Did lots of math and physics homework and that’s about it, a tiny bit of Duckcoin refactoring and research into on-dish hashmaps for storing the blockchain. Also look at this freaking perfect photo of Robert from zephyr

Most of my time today was spent on homework but I also managed to start drafting Dogecoin’s CoC

Made pizza for breakfast, a tiny bit of work on the doge bot, lots of math homework and WHOLE lot on wasting time on the internet!

Again, did school, my English teacher again started talking about relationships, this time recounting a story involving a rejected freshman girl. V sad. Speaking of that, my physics teacher said something which he said applies to both graph tangents and dating: “only kiss, don’t puncture”, the meaning of which I do not grasp :flug:. Also he has really nice hair and I want to copy his hairstyle. He also hates jellyfish so people prank him by hanging photos of jellyfish in his classroom and wow his classroom is nerd heaven it’s so beautiful, so many old books and whatnot complete works of Galileo and everything. I did no programming today, I built a nightstand and watched a movie, rescheduled my Orpheus show recording.

Today I did school, made a new friend who I convinced to join HC, did some physics homework, wasted time on random stuff on the internet, and added Airtable to my discord bot for the doge foundation! Also saw some bunny just wandering around when I was out jogging. See the Airtable data here: airtable.com/shrLXtdF7tEBLFfRA. See source here: github.com/dogecoinfoundation/discord-bot. I have a demo screenshot too!

I did a heck of a lot of work on a discord bot that I'm making for the dogecoin people, I made pizza and one calzone because I got my new pizza stone, I went to school which was half as long as usual, made friends, reviewed some PRs, and heard my english teacher tell all the girls to stay away from guys :eggsdee:. That was really funny. We did some satire and stuff and I sadly did not have the funny-physics-teacher class today. Also, we're doing another Crypto Call™️ on Sunday at 8 am where we'll walk through the #duckcoin source (rsvp there). Also emailed the HC leader at my school and I might become a co-lead? He seems to be into getting people interested in HC, so that should be fun! Also noticed that my neighbor has a bunnyyyyyy cute

Homework, school and discord bottery

Finally got a physical whiteboard to actually get organized, did some homework and we finalized a car to buy!! Took so dang long in the showroom. Also played the actual Atari lunar lander whoaaaa. Edit: I tried to make the photo of my to-do list small to hide the stuff on it but damn you 4K resolution

HELLO TODAY I DID SOME DUCKCOIN REFACTORING SO ITS NOW MY FIRST EVER PROJECT THAT USES MORE THAK ONE PACKAGE AND GOOD GOD GO MODULES ALMOST MADE ME GO CRAZY AND I REVIEWED SOME PRS BY ARCADE AND WE WENT TO A TESLA SHOWROOM BUT IT WAS CLOSED AND SO WE WENT TO OTHER CAR PLACES AND THEN I WENT STATIONARY SHOPPING WHERE I FOUND A KOOL HAT and one more semi-hush-hush thing today

For some reason I actually want to go to school. Anyways, merged some Duckcoin PRs, hats off to @ArcadeWise! Apparently I have a maple tree in front of my house :eggsdee: Canada moment. Also hosted the crypto call today. I can now say I am officially rich because Christina tipped me 5 dollars worth of doge: 17 doge :dogecoin: Also, huge thanks to @msw for helping me with a certain problem in my plans to decentralize duckcoin and still let it be easily mine-able. I think I have it all mostly figured out. Duckcoin had zero monetary value right now and if you’re mining it you’re wasting your computer’s processing power but Belle said “not with that attitude” so I guess: Duckcoin to the 🌙 🚀 :eggsdee:

Escargot Despacito

Today was my first day of school! Went great, made some friends, talked with a lot of people, GOT HOMEWORK YIKES COME ON ITS THE FIRST DAY Also got introduced to another hush hush thing

Today we did more #duckcoin dev, and people’s interest in it is rising (the 70,000th block was mined today). Everyone was mining simultaneously, which showed me that my earlier plan won’t work and I’ll have to think of a new plan (what if we had blockchains with blockchains inside them :thonk:). It was also my dad’s birthday so I wrote him a very embarrassing two line poem and made him tea in the morning. We went to two parks, one right by the lake. Both had a lot of ducks. I tried telling them I’m quackduck on GitHub but they still ran away from me :sadge:. Anyhow, here’s some duck photos, a plane in the sky and a screenshot of Christina mining Duckcoin units called quacks on her M1 computer (the UI looks better in the latest build okay) also also, me and some people may have a cryptocurrency discussion soon, let me know if you’re interested!

Nice day today, almost done thinking about the plan for Duckcoin, refactored some of it, SAW A REAL ACORN, plucked some berries and a green apple and this blue colored berry that contains a really good blood substitute. I also visited my school etc etc

Today was a very relaxed day, I went and met some Seattle people plus @bjm and we vandalized parts of Seattle and oh, hq should receive mail soon and I shopped for jackets and pullovers (found 2 good ones) and also had an incredibly cheesy sandwich 🥪 and set up an Xbox. Very not-programming day, v chill

Today I did the Ross Nicoll Dogecoin livestream and restarted work on Duckcoin and met, talked and biked with Pranav and thought a lot about how to make Duckcoin both fully decentralized and easily mine-able on your own computer (hard cause people don’t usually have their own IPs) www.twitch.tv/videos/1132323504

So yesterday I made a nightstand with my sister, received my shipathon pizza and Zach revealed that I’m streaming with Ross today. I also tried to understand some Kotlin and run it but neither worked lol. V nervous for the stream AAAAA :dogecoin:

Today I built my desk (with one mistake: the bottom slab of the cabinet has an un-polished side in front), which took super long, and was way more complex than building the bed. I also found an apple tree and smuggled four apples home and cleaned yet another 200 tabs and tried to understand some crypto UTXO-related code (ugh, Kotlin). The desk making took legit 6+ hours istg that's basically what I did the whole part of the day with sun. Tomorrow hopefully I get more time to code, deadlines approach 👀 :spaceduck: :doggo: :goose-dance: :piggy:

Made a bed, bought and set up a TV and removed 200 tabs yesterday (slack didn’t post yesterday’s post ughhh)

Today I gave @pranavnt a signed zoogle sticker (which he should send a photo of in the thread) and me and him rode around the neighborhood and went to the zipline park together and I had a very secret hush hush meeting 👀 and I researched 55 inch TVs to buy (there’s a nice hisense one but my parents say we should take one of the more popular brands). This is the zipline:

Today we moved in my parents’ bed, I finally checked my post and found I had already gotten stickers from Hugo days back, me and my sister played in the park with ziplines and I went for a tour of my new school. Attaching garbage for scrappy to eat (slack is buggy and won’t send the actual images of the stickers and the school)

Today I tried the sauces I bought yesterday (Stubb’s BBQ, Frank’s Red Hot and Cholula, made such a nice sandwich with em), biked a lot, tried a zipline, set up a printer, met @pranavnt, wrote an email to a school counselor. I read up on multisig addresses in crypto, need to learn how json rpc works and need to learn how to actually use a CLI library and not make my own shitty argument parser cause serious project. You may have noticed I’m suddenly into a lot of crypto stuff 👀 :doge:

Oh no did I lose my streak. Today I did a lot of things. We bought a bike from someone so I went to pick it up but it wouldn’t fit in the car so I rode it back home the whole way. Going up the hills was so painful. My parents and sister were in the car the whole time. I HAD SO MUCH FUN GOONG DOWNHILL AND INHALING THE SWEET FRESH MOUNTAIN AIR. Then we returned something at Kohl’s and then we went to Target where I bought two kinds of hot sauce, a really nice looking barbecue sauce, a slime thing for my sister, some chocolate cereal, almost a pair of walkie talkies. I can’t wait to try the sauces tomorrow. Then we went to mod pizza for the first time ever. What a concept: Subway but for pizza. Great brand image. Busy day so I didn’t get to see all the swap fun :smiling_face_with_tear: :eggsdee: Also here’s my teddy bear from since I was 2

Today I got zoogle stickers (2 more than I paid for!!) and today I went to USPS and today I showed my dad my Aces explanation and he started asking me if we could make a computer that has like, a different number of bits in a byte and stuff. Not a very code-filled day today. Am thinking about whether an encoding with Unicode characters as output could be useful. I also showed my sister how to pick locks.

I played tennis with Pranav, read the surprisingly short and easy to understand Bitcoin whitepaper: bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf, learnt a tiny bit about ZKPs and sadly, did not code today!

Oh I also had my first US-made chicken nugget

Got the Tdap vaccine (schools here need me to have it), went to my school again but it was closed, went to the bank with my parents (who opened an account) where we asked the guy if I could have my own bank account but he said he needs special permission from his manager cause im a minor, and in the morning I became part of something exciting :shut: 👀. Posting a random screenshot cause scrappy is a complain bot. As one of the Zachs says, there are no surprises in Hack Club.

Today me and my sister walked to her school, we drove to mine and I shipped three things

YOOOOOO today I wrote the goreleaser file so now aces is on hombrew and has releases: brew install quackduck/tap/aces. I wrote a heck of a lot of documentation, most of which explains how encoding and aces works: github.com/quackduck/aces/#how-does-it-work. I spent roughly 6 hours being extremely bored at Macy's too. Shoutout to @matthew, the very first user of Aces. He's also featured in the examples cause his name sounds very funny when encoded in the HhAa charset.

Moved into my new house, started writing README and did some simple optimization and improved an error message. Also found apples from a tree, real lavender and other nature stuff whoa

Finally picked a name for my next ship thanks to @sporeball. Next up, README.md, reddit, product hunt and #ship posts. Maybe some optimization. Also tried habaneros for the first time. That was super fun! Very fun!!

Just set up WiFi in my new house!

made some docs for my next ship

MORE FREAKING BIT MANIPULATION BUT SO WORTH IT, SHIP COMING SOON!! make sure to watch the recordings

Me and @pranavnt spent 1/3 of the day together! @matthew missed his space rocket so he didn’t join us

broke my head a little bit over generalizing bit manipulation. don't you just love it when something works just fine after a major refactor

Last day of zephyr, I made everyone say HC in a weird voice

Times Square

Lol i posted this www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/oi3vrj/copilot_rickrolls_unsuspecting_programmer

Hooray new year!

same as ongzz ^ How's this for an intro?

Funny meme (not by me)

Had a math discussion (more like a monologue) with my teacher about log 0-

Had an absolutely incredible #math discussion (because of which I learnt a lot) with Damicake et al about this problem on #math

Wrote some help stuff for Uniclip. That bug is still bugging me.

Extremely annoyed by just this one bug that somehow gives back an empty string where it shouldn’t. Just this one thing that’s wrong with my program before I can #ship it. #go people, the getLocalClip function returns an empty string when the clipboard isn’t empty sometimes. If you know how to fix it, please enlighten me

Learning to understand Damicake lol Here's the picture I deleted mistakenly

Prepping for my Bio exam tomorrow

Just one bug in my #go code and I can't figure out whyyyyyyy. It's almost done. Just one buggggggg. It's a universal clipboard cli app (share clipboard across devices)

My first actual product! Link - github.com/quackduck/WarpDrive
