There's a new VSCode update that adds a tab titled "Agent Sessions" at the very top of the sidebar, focused by default

Before backing up my hard drive, I wanted to delete all the node_modules files
I simply ran `npx npkill` in my root projects directory and it found every nested folder
14.5 GB recovered 🥰

This afternoon has devolved into a good amount of refactoring & adding attributes to guns.
Projectiles now spawn from the edge of the barrel (the black dot) rather than the player's position

It's lunchtime and I haven't posted an update today. Oops!
Here's what's new:
- HUD
- Invincibility powerup
- Enemy drops
- Gun stats (bullets have a spread radius)
- A bug fix in my game engine when you accidentally remove an entity twice 🤦
After lunch I'm going to continue my work on the shotgun

Room bounds & walls! I also got some sound effects hooked up, as well as flashing characters white when they've been hit.

I'm participating in #Devtober this year!
For the first day, I did some planning, set up my dev environment, and created gamedevmountain.com as a home for all the different parts of the project.
Featured below is a lil' something I threw together with createPattern()

I find it so funny (and lovely) that the ONE shirt I thrifted during my time in NYC is the only piece of clothing I regularly get complements on
Cannot wait to get back out there and thrift some more stellar fits

Every day, while I'm applying for jobs, I see sooooo many company websites that break at my laptop's screen resolution
It is especially infuriating having my resume be rejected by companies having visible bugs that I would have never let hit production
