Poor Elyse, exercism is running her ragged. She has been the focus of half the exercises so far. Give her some time to catch her breath. Anyway today’s exercise was about array higher order functions again. Didn’t realize the three-triplicating[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Another easy exercise just using a for item in list loop, and a forEach loop with a callback function. Not hard but as expected I saw at least one community solution that had to show off their skill and do[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Todays exercise was about callbacks. Truthfully it just felt like we were calling already defined functions. Probably could have set that one up better. For minesweeper I did go back and add in the settings table (without a tutorial) and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s exercism exercise was Coordinate Transformation which involved closures specifically returning functions that process data using data from the enclosing function call. Pretty cool, I don’t think you can do that easily in other languages. Not sure if I will[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s exercism exercise was Train Driver which is about the rest/spread operator. Had some problems but did figure it out eventually. Would have been faster if the debugger worked as expected. I probably need to put this top-down movement code[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s exercism exercise was: Elyses Destructured Enchantments which involved swapping things around with destructured arrays and objects. I did need help figuring out the last part. I got a manual swap working but it looks like you can name the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s exercism exercise is Lasagna Master and is about declaring and using functions. I am going beyond the top-down movement exercise for a moment. For today I added some map-building primitives. We already had the mset pico-8 shim that lets[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s exercise was lucky-numbers and focused on type conversion. I did get tripped up on checking for NaN. You need to use Number.isNan() instead of value == NaN. I wanted to finish up the top-down movement code, and I think[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Day three and I am already feeling the time crunch. Had to sneak off to the computer at 10pm to get my coding time in. I only did one exercism exercise “Amusement Park”. That left some time for the top[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Another five exercises from exercism. elyses-enchantments vehicle-purchase bird-watcher mixed-juices high-score-board So, I got myself a modretro chromatic for myself for Christmas. My old GameBoy color has audio issues and it didn’t sound like repairing it would be much cheaper than[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
