100 Days of Code 2025
I want to try 100 Days of Code again. However, I think I will change some things. One of the rules was that you post on twitter/x. However, I don’t feel like it, so I will post here instead. I am also going to not be too strict. I might skip a day or not post until I have something interesting to say.
I don’t have a big project idea yet. For the most part I want to go revisit some projects that have been languishing.
- LazyDevs Shmup – I want to clean this one up. I recently modded my 3DS for homebrew. Since the code is in Love2d (lua) it should be relatively easy to make it run under lovepotion. I actually have been poking at this. I would also like to fix the pc code to not run so fast it is uncontrollable, and maybe port it to c code for webassembly/windows/linux/3DS/genesis versions. I should also restart the upgraded shmup and not be so slavishly similar to the source material again.
- Minsweeper. I can’t remember what bugs I have but I seem to remember the high score system not really saving/loading. Again I would like to port it to other platforms mostly the web, maybe get a high score server running on a free service that saves/loads the high scores. Please don’t bot me bro.
- Seven Day Roguelike 2025 has already passed. So I will probably skip that idea.
- My sister gave me her old Gameboy pocket, I think I want to make some homebrew for that too.
- I would like a bunch of games to add to my website/itch.io. Maybe game spinoffs like:
- Tetris / Columns
- Minesweeper (see above – a web port)
- 2048
- Other ones from the GameFromScratch list. I would definitely like to make a pacman, platformer, or tic-tac-toe game with alpha beta search.
- I should go find my hangman game and upload that sometime.
- I have long since promised to make a to-do program in Ruby on Rails even if no one uses Ruby anymore. Might be resume fodder. Anyway, I need to get off my behind and do it. Bonus points for a django/express/.net version using react/angular/vue. Maybe with a nice rest api behind it. Shouldn’t really take all that long but I do want some authentication with jwt tokens or similar.
So feel free to suggest something in the comments. If it sounds fun I might do it. If it sounds like work, I probably won’t. Just planning for day one I guess. Actually I did stuff yesterday so yesterday was day 1 and tomorrow is day 2 or 3. Today, well I guess we will see.
