This is the year I see myself making my own programs

Since I got my first desktop computer I have wanted to make my own programs. But, have not. Well this year is going to be different. I hope.

The other day I had claude.ai help me installed free pascal on my tablet. I already hat clang for c installed on my tablet and I hope to learn Aarch64 assembly. And I have pharo on desktop and also code blocks and FASM assembly language. I can also use python on the desktop.

I told claude what programs I want to make and had it help me bread them down into small pieces. I know I can have claude write the code but, I want t try to think of the code myself. I also hope to read code.

It dawned on me that I had thought that if I read enough programming books that one day I would be good enough to write my own programs. Now I realize it would have been better to get a programming project right away.

I don’t know why I thought I had to read a bunch of programming books and then one day I would be ready to write my own programs. It does not make sense.

it was the same way with blender. I thought I needed to follow a tutorial to make anything.

So now I realized I have got to get projects and work on them everyday. I hope to work on them everyday.

A few days ago I solved the rubiks cube

I had had my nexcube for about a week. And here I thought why get a nexcube when I will never solve the rubiks cube.

I have not practiced with the cube since I solved it. So I want to get back to practicing. So it took me about 6 months from the time I got a cube which was the old rubiks cube to the time I solved a nexcube. I did not work on it a lot just off and on.

I thought I would never solve a rubiks cube or cube. I am glad I was wrong.

Another thing I want to be able to do is memorize a deck of cards. I have wanted to do that for years but, had not worked on it much.

Rubiks cube

I am trying to solve a rubiks cube by watching the video below

I had been wanting a Rubiks cube for years and finally got one earlier this year Well you could say found the Rubiks cube I already had. It was years old and it was hard to move but, I tried to solve it. I did not.

I had been wanting to get a nexcube for awhile and thought no I shouldn’t get it because I have no solved my old Rubiks cube yet but, then I got the nexcube anyway. Right after I got it I took it out of the box and started using it.

I am stuck on step 6 from the above video but, now I believe I can solve the cube. Though I don’t think I would ever be able to solve the cube if I did not have a tutorial to show me how. The nexcube is a lot easier to move than my old cube.

So hopefully I will solve it soon and then keep practicing and try other methods to solve a cube.

Finally I have a Rubiks cube

Years ago on this blog I wrote that I wanted to learn how to solve a Rubik’s cube. And finally after years of wanting a Rubik’s cube I have one.

A have watched parts of some youtube videos about solving Rubik’s cubes and have almost got the daisy on the top of the cube.

One thing I know is that I am going to try my best to learn so solve a Rubik’s cube. Right now it seems impossible that I will ever be able to solve one. I hope I am wrong in thinking that I will never be able to solve a Rubik’s cube.

Writing this made me wonder when I got my first Rubik’s cube and from whom. I can’t remember. I do remember that when I was young I always wanted to learn how to use a yoyo and could never get it to do its yoyo thing.

When I got older I tried yoyoing again and I could get the yoyo to go up and down from my hand. So I hope its the same with a Rubik’s cube. I hope I can learn to solve one.

Time will tell.

I also hope to one day post blender and godot videos on

youtube. I think it would be more interesting if I had a microphone to post videos like that and I want to get a lot better using those programs before I record myself using them.

Its amazing to me that I have used blender since 2.42 and am not an expert user. Maybe I can get good using blender real fast.

I have wanted to have a youtube video game channel for awhile

and stream on twitch also. However I don’t have a microphone. So I thought someday when I get a microphone I will start making videos. but, I want to get my channel up and going so why not make videos now. I hope to post maybe 3 or 4 times a week.

I will wait on streaming on twitch until I get a microphone since I figure if I stream people would want to hear me talking.

Below is the video I made today. Its under 3 minutes long.

I have almost finished the 1960 c60

Well I have almost finished it to the level of detail I want because I want to get a project finished. I want to add a low poly environment and low poly human next.

I want to get all that done as soon as I can.

I textured the cushman 53 about 2 weeks ago

And I tried to render it but, I thought the rending was going to take awhile so I never rendered it.

That got me to thinking that maybe I should focus on low poly modeling since the computers I use are not that powerful.

And I want to get more projects done so modeling low poly models would be good for that I think.

So right now I am working on a 1965 c60 flat bed truck.

So I will see how low poly modeling will work for me.

I am still working on the Cushman 53

And I did not notice that I had record keyframes on. So I turned it off. And also for the past few times I have been working on it the chain and back fender and some other parts haven been out of place when I re-open the file.

I tried resetting the location or moving origin to geometry. Those things did not work. So I went to the internet and saw that if I clear keyframes that would solve the problem. And it worked.

I thought I would have to deal with parts of the cushman moving and never get it solved. I was wrong. And I am glad I was wrong since its a pain to have to reposition the parts every time I reopen the cushman.

I am trying to put the finishing touches on it so I can get it finished. I hope my next project in blender does not take this long.

Getting closer to finishing cushman 53

And its about time I have been working on it for months. I am putting in the nuts and bolts. And then I hope to texture it. Its fun making the cushman 53 but, at this rate I will never get any models finished if I keep up this slow pace.

So I wanted to give myself a week to finish a model. I wish I could finish a model in a day but, I don’t think that is possible for me right now. I just want to speed up my blender model making. Well I just want to get a model finished. Pronto.

So I hope to get the cushman 53 finished soon. I will see if I get that done or not.
