100 Days of Code Day 84
Today’s exercise was All Your Base. I appreciate the meme name. Anyway just convert from one base to another for example from binary (base 2) to decimal (base 10 — normal). I think it was more work to add in all of the error handling than the actual exercise. I did see someone use just one higher order function to do the source to number conversion so I did swipe that and put in a second version. (The .some() call was all mine.)
I am kind of flailing trying to figure out what I want to do next. Do I want to make a Game Boy game like breakout, or perhaps something else like snake? It turns out Z80 assembly is still unpleasant and hard for me. I also think that I should do some job skills like thing. I did look at Angular previously to see what has changed since I last used it. I also have a few books I could finally go through, but they are old now (10 years old which is really old in tech).
I could make something in Angular, but I don’t want to do a To-Do app again. I could do a recipe book, but that was the project in the Angular class I took way back when. I could do a bug tracker but why when I can use the Issues in Github or just download something like Bugzilla. Ideally I would like something smaller scale I would actually use.
In the end I made some tile images for a snake game for the Game Boy in a spreadsheet (didn’t do enough to even put them in enough code to see them in VRAM), and I also pulled up an Angular video and watched a bit. It looks like there is new stuff around signals which sound like a variable that can fire event handlers when changed. There is also the new if, for, switch syntax I mentioned last time. I was kind of grossed out when one of the Angular new project questions what which AI platform to integrate into your code.
