am i bad at math or am i bad at javascript

function control_loop() {
    if (controller.dx() > 0) {
        if (x_vel > 40) {
            x_vel = 40
        } else {
            x_vel += 10
        }
    } else if (!(controller.dx() < 0)) {
        if (x_vel < 0 && x_vel != 0) {
            x_vel -= 10
        }
    }
    
    if (controller.dx() < 0) {
        if (x_vel < -40) {
            x_vel = -40
        } else {
            x_vel -= 10
        }
    } else if (!(controller.dx() > 0)) {
        if (x_vel < 0 && x_vel != 0) {
            x_vel -= 10
        } 
    }
}

for context, this code just checks if you have an arrow key pressed and then it’ll change the x velocity to move the player, but the left movement isn’t working (player’s velocity won’t reset like normal)

TIL that i can set a sprite’s velocity in makecode arcade right after i spent 3 hours implementing a physics engine from nothing!

wasteof.money has something twitter doesn’t have — a ceo who isn’t tryharding to be relevant

finishing school work is so satisfying…

i always found my multimedia class projects so boring but they’re actually very fun!

new project: @flame

this feels scummy

Let’s be real, the best years were 2013 to 2018

Not saying 2019 to 2024 suck, but they’re just… different

nintendo said if i want to get the location of my switch i have to get the police involved? ok, bet

i would love if scratch implemented scripting with javascript or c++ (or python)

it would attract a lot more people to the platform including me, and it would help people get a basic understanding of text-based langs

edit: if anyone wants to actually try this out, try ApuC

help me steal the moon

random thought

why are literally all security cameras fucking dogshit

it looks like they put up a potato running android 6 and called it a “security” camera

i seriously hate my school

“oh well we can’t do anything about it because we can’t accuse random students even if we have video evidence!”

if they gave me a single frame where their face or even their outfit was visible i could literally crack the case in an hour or two.

i’m gonna disable the switch and hope the person turns themselves in from fear. why did i ever choose to go to a school full of criminals…

neal.fun is fun

i have an english project due in 2 hours and i haven’t even started

i know, three posts in a day is pretty wacky BUT

would it make sense for my blog project to have a ratelimit of 3 new blog posts per 5 minutes, 250 views per hour (it doesn’t make a db query for everytime someone reloads the page, the posts are cached and the list is refreshed everytime a new post is made so the db doesn’t feel stressed), and a 50 requests per minute for the api (the api makes a new db query for each request)

i might upload a new youtube video about it sometime soon but i’m grounded so y’all will have to wait a few weeks lol…

some interesting features about the blog:

• 100% flask, python, pymongo

• FIRST time i’ve used fetchapi (to make an admin panel)

• probably my biggest project that functions properly

• my first time using tailwind css

• my first time making json configuration files (you can customize fonts, theme color, admin accounts, etc.)

• first version on github was made in 4 hours (didn’t have much, no admin panel or CSS)

• latest version made in about 12 hours of work (2 seperate days of work)
