Released version 1 and 1.1 of Stylus Theft on itch

Even thought I needed help for all the code well almost all the code for Stylus theft from claude.ai at least I finally made a program that I want to use. Though I have not used it much yet. I hope that changes.

Anyway I think so far the apk has been downloaded once. I was disappointed I was hoping it would be a huge hit. I hope everything like my youtube channels, and other stuff I have done would be a huge hit but, it never seems to happen.

I don’t know if I will ever be able to code without the help of AI but, as I said above at least this year I finally made something instead of saying this is the year I want to make something.

So about Stylus Theft you can trace the images from your gallery, or pixabay with your pixabay api key, and also there is image included if you uncheck both of those options. You can use use it online on its itch page. There is also a downloadable apk.

You can save an image you draw to an in app gallery, change the brush size and color, skip to the next image, undo strokes, but, when you change brush color and size it changes the color and size of all previous strokes, and sometimes there is a delay loading pixabay images.

I hope to keep improving it.

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.
