I don't know what holds me back from doing it most of the time, maybe physical laziness, but I tend to solve most of my programming problems by putting the damn problem on paper first.

The FSM attempt in my assignment was a real confusing mess that froze my mind, until I turned to pen and paper to sort it out.

Taking a break now from my assignment game dev.

Implemented simple finite state machine to switch between player turns.

Next up is to actually play the damn board game itself.

I was using VS Code as my code editor for Unity scripts. Switched over to JetBrains Rider - proprietary but I got free educational license with my uni alumni email.

Now I feel like I'm being spoiled so hard by a proprietary IDE: full Unity API integration, auto recognition of Unity project folders and related scripts in the same game, separate IDE windows for different game projects.

I suppose some things in life are worth paying for.

I'm remaking this ancient board game Royal Game of Ur as part of my game dev assignment, wish me luck.

Every once in a while, say 1 - 3 months, I make "that list" which sum up what I've got going on, what productive things I am on track or should be on track with, and my goals, blah blah blah blah.

It never occurred to me to include "fun things to do" in that list. I forget about the games I was having fun with but got sidetracked from, hobbies that I genuinely had fun doing but self doubt interrupted me on the way.

Now's about that time again for me to make that list, but this time, more human.

Got my first job in foreign land as a Christmas temp. Only gonna work for a month but it'll buy me some time.

Potato is one of the ways to remove manufacture coating from new nibs, making ink flow easier out of the box.

Flight cancelled, fun fun

Big move day - this is my new home for the next few months, at least through the winter.
