Tech Tea

I was thinking about how to make my prototype look better even with the bad pixel art, and I eventually decided to add shadows. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

The screenshot shows a room with light sources (i.e. windows) at the top and bottom. The black objects are walls, as they completely block light rays.

Just noticed that I haven’t posted my first mechanical keyboard here, even though it’s on my profile banner. This’s the Leopold FC660M with MX Cherry Blue switches, thick PBT plastic and double shot keycaps. #MechanicalKeyboard #MechanicalKeyboards #MechKeys #Keyboards #Keebs

The switches are mounted on a thick metal plate. The plate is simply sandwiched between two plastic parts of the case. So when I quickly press hotkeys, the plate makes a loud metallic noise, which can be quite annoying.

I haven’t touched web backend development since 2021, so I built a simple website to refresh my knowledge. For the site, I choose TypeScript, Node.js, SQLite, Fasify, Prisma, Pug and guess what? I’ve never created SSR sites faster and more enjoyable. #WebDevelopment #BackendDevelopment #Nodejs

I have no plans for the site, so I’ll delete it and create a new one from scratch. And then another one and another until I figure out how to best use Fastify with Prisma.

I haven’t tried it yet, but it seems to me that I can convert Prisma schema to Ajv schemas using ts-json-schema-generator.

That’s it. Now I have an empty BD with TS types that I can use on the site. I mean, use Prisma.PostCreateInput as a form body request, for example.

There’s also a built-in request validator based on Ajv that uses JSON schemas, and with @fastify/formbody I don’t need to write headers for form requests.

Fastify and Prisma are new things to me, so I can’t really say how good they are. I also can’t say how difficult it’d be to build something much bigger, or how expensive it’d be to maintain with these tools, but so far, so good.

While I’m working on the engine for my upcoming visual novel, I want to show a prototype I created a month ago. #platformer #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

I started learning Japanese. In the three days, I learned the vowels (a, i, u, e, o), the k-row (ka, ki, ku, ke, ko) with their dakuten versions (ga, gi, gu, ge, go), and the s-row (sa, shi, su, se, so) with their dakuten versions (za, ji, zu, ze, zo) from hiragana.

Before I started learning, I googled a bit about Japanese. Found that the words in sentences have a different order. There are three “alphabets” (not exactly, but it’s easy to think of them that way): katakana and hiragana from kana, and kanji. Don’t know what they’re for but I hope to find out soon

In 2008 I switched to GNU/Linux because my old PC wasn’t powerful enough for Windows Vista. Then, in 2010 I bought a new laptop with Windows 7, and shortly after that I installed Linux on it because Linux was better. Now I use a MacBook with macOS and I can’t say it’s better than a ThinkPad + Linux.
