Today I'm launching Avo 馃, a configuration-based, no-maintenance, extendable Ruby on Rails admin. It's in open beta, and I would love your help to try it out and let me know how it helps you move faster with Rails. avohq.io

Internal tools you can stop worrying about

With Avo, your Rails app is your company's command center. Support, ops, and finance ask it questions and get answers, seeing only what their permissions allow. Every change waits for a person to...

R2D32: wrote out a todo list for game, plus started writing rough code to see if I can implement the most difficult parts of gameplay #100DaysOfCode

R2D31(yesterday): settled on an idea to remake the game Kingdom in #pico8. Watched a video on animation and code abstraction in pico8 before finishing this mockup of the game #100DaysOfCode

R2D30: I'm giving up on my Qix remake - it's been 30 days and I'm still stuck on the fill feature. I'm not giving up on game dev or #100daysofcode tho - I'm starting work on a new (simpler!) game tomorrow 馃馃従

Learnings: - I need to scope out the game more before settling on remaking it - I need a game that is made up of smaller playable parts that I can playtest with people earlier - I need something that is graphically interesting to work on

R2D29: one thing I miss from web dev when doing game dev is test driven development. I especially missed them today whilst trying to fix a pathfinding bug. So I've started writing a rough test framework to assert the following pathfinding scenarios in my game #tdd #100DaysOfCode

R2D28: tried to implement autofilling shapes with only one side connected to the edge of the screen and instead created a bug 馃槅 #100DaysOfCode

R2D24 At last! A flood fill algorithm that works! Found it on a random #pico8 thread and I'm tweaking it for my purposes. Tomorrow I will refactor the code and then I'll try and fill shapes that are only connected to the border by one side #100DaysOfCode

R2D22 I found a flood fill algorithm that works! Trick is I need to feed it all the vertices of any shape a player draws. So that's what I'll be working on tomorrow #100DaysOfCode
R2D21: I'm giving up on using any type of flood fill algorithm in my game - it just eats up too much memory. Instead I'm gonna change the game slightly to only allow the player to draw rectangles which should be a lot easier to fill 馃 #100DaysOfCode

R2D20: I've got an alternative to the flood fill algorithm working 馃帀 Tomorrow I'll tweak it to color shapes precisely #100DaysOfCode

R2D19: hm, I seemed to have hot a brick wall - my implementation of the flood fill algorithm for my game still doesn't work, even after a couple of refactors. Tomorrow I might head to the #PICO8 forums for the first time to ask for help #100DaysOfCode

R2D18: not much coding today, but more re-thinking player movement. Using what I learnt from the first attempt, I'm hoping to avoid re-writing this code again 馃馃従 #100DaysOfCode

R2D17: had to rewrite a lot of code today to overcome a problem to do with player movement. Hopefully it will be fully fixed tomorrow #100DaysOfCode
