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.

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 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.

I worked on the cushman 53 today

I have got a lot of the body of the cushman 53 done.

What intimidates me is working on the engine which seems very complicated to do. But, I worked on the engine and wheels today.

I look at pictures but, what helps me also is watching a video of the cushman. For me the video is clearer and I can get a better view of the scooter.

I am getting more of the scooter done every time I work on it. I suppose I want the model to be perfect. But, its only my first or 2nd motorcycle model. Or well not exactly. But, done is better than perfect. At least I think so.

I now know the things I want to learn

I know I have written about this before. Maybe I should call it I now know what is important to me. Or I could say I think I know what is important for me.

I want to learn how to cook new recipes, grow vegetables and flowers, make video games; draw, code, make music, learn about astronomy, learn about world war II, learn about machine learning, ethical hacking, learn about ardunio and raspberry pi.

There are so many things I can do for hobbies that I have always had a hard time trying to figure out what I want to do with my free time. I suppose someday these things could become a way to make money but, they are not right now for me.

I am sure that lots of people don’t want to learn about cooking but, I do. I have fun thinking about learning new recipes. So why not learn to cook.

So I thought about what I like and what I think is important to do and learn. And I think that makes me feel better.

I want to be great at something but, how can I be great at something if I don’t know what I want to be great at. I hope

I want to think about my interests such as drawing

music, making video games, astronomy, machine learning. I want to think about what I want to do in those subjects. My next song or what I want to draw.

But, I seem to end up thinking about other things. What I wished I had done better in the past or what might happen in the near future, or how do I feel right now.

And as I said I want to think about making music, making video games, astronomy, machine learning. And I don’t spend as much time as I want to thinking about those things

So from now on I want to try to think a lot more about the things I want to make than how I feel at a particular moment or what has happened in the past or what might happen in the future.

I know my thinking time will be better spent thinking that way.

I suppose it so easy to worry about what happened in the past or what might happen in the future or worry about how I am feeling right at this moment. But, tomorrow at this time I probably won’t remember how I am feeling right now.

So I will try to think about the things I want to get better at.
