[day 42 of daily making till 2025 ends] carden is shaping up! drew some very nice corn sprites and worked a ton on the farm infra - now you can plant corn with a nice function! going to lock in and finish this tomorrow

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 23/12/2025

[day 41 of daily making till 2025 ends] today was day 1/10 of the last 10 days of the year, wow. got a lot done for carden! made some tweaks to card infra (switched from dicts to classes for storing card data), drew a much better farm sprite, and made cards actually do stuff! #gamedev #godot

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 22/12/2025

[day 40 of daily making till 2025 ends] went shopping, ate hot pot 😋, and worked on carden! completely rewrote the card infra but it should work much, much better now. also made the cards look a little nicer! let's hope i can finish in time... #gamedev #godot

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 21/12/2025

[days 38 and 39 of daily making till 2025 ends] 38: not much, prepped a mc SMP 39: attended a vibe-coding debate with hack clubbers! and worked on carden (secret santa gift) - drew a farm and fiddled with card infra. here's the current state of the game 😭 #gamedev #godot

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 19/12/2025

[day 37 of daily making till 2025 ends] did some pentesting on a vibe-coded site (the admin panel has no backend validation 💀) and made some nice infra for cards in my mini game! now it's much easier to add different kinds of cards with their own effects

010

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 18/12/2025

[day 36 of daily making till 2025 ends] whoops, missed a few days! started on my secret santa gift, with a card you can drag around in godot! hopefully this will go smoother than the last card-based game i made... #godot #gamedev

[day 32 of daily making till 2025 ends] more unbeatable + started to install etterna on my steam deck so i can use it with my usb dancepad. been feeling weirdly demotivated to code lately (burnout??) but i did start setting up my blog with the fuwari template

120

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 13/12/2025

[day 31 of daily making till 2025 ends] got to unbeatable episode 3! it is definitely absolute cinema so far. also got back to work on README - here's some of the stuff I've written for Part I - Hacker Culture

An article about hacker culture that contrasts the mainstream media's definition of hacker with the much more tame, but less widely known, definition

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 12/12/2025

[day 30 of daily making till 2025 ends] went to my little brother's winter concert, then got home and played unbeatable plus studied. also made this super scrappy sticky note wall with my last-50-days-of-2025 goals! i will lock in on actually making stuff this weekend trust 😭

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 09/12/2025

[day 27 of daily making till 2025 ends] new keeb switches arrived today! took the opportunity to disassemble [glyph], clean it out, and apply some mods. also fought with QMK a bunch, but I eventually figured out how to fix the joysticks! the keyboard sounds super nice now :D #MechanicalKeyboards

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 08/12/2025

[day 26 of daily making till 2025 ends] didn't get much done today since i'm getting sick (again 😭) but I did work on a pi pico game engine (coded in rust!) i'm making. after that headed to a bday party, then did homework. also looked into how to start AoC day 7 and a secret project 👀 #coding

010

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 07/12/2025

[day 25 of daily making till 2025 ends] halfway there!! did a bunch of AoC! completely reworked my day 5 solution so that it doesn't create a dictionary with hundreds of trillions of keys did day 6 as well! i quite like my solution :3 also picked up some snowboard boots #coding #AdventOfCode

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 06/12/2025

[day 24 of daily making till 2025 ends] not much today - did some research on some new tools and started on my day 5 AoC solution! it. uh. runs out of memory but that's a future me problem!

000

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 05/12/2025

[day 23 of daily making till 2025 ends] locked in on AoC! managed to submit a better day 3 part 2 solution, and then worked on day 4! it was fun, but i ran into many strange quirks of Python. i did manage to solve it though! spent the rest of my time on rustlings :3 #coding #AdventOfCode

[day 22 of daily making till 2025 ends] finally packed some stickers i've been meaning to mail out!spent the rest of the day on AoC day 3 - part 1 was easy enough but I couldn't for the life of me get part 2 to work :( maybe if I have free time tomorrow I can try again. #coding #AdventOfCode

[day 21 of daily making till 2025 ends] day 2 of AoC! part 1 was easy enough (but my solution took 30 seconds on a tower pc 😅) but part 2 has me rethink my strategy. regex to the rescue! part 2 solves in ~3s on the same machine which isn't terrible? also did more rustlings #AdventOfCode #coding

010

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 30/11/2025

[day 18 of daily making till 2025 ends] finally moved over to neovim today! i'm using the lazyvim config to get started. i can definitely see how things like motions and flash.nvim will let me code soo much faster :D here's me learning rust with rustlings with the new setup #coding

[day 17 of daily making till 2025 ends] back to working on readme! got a chapter navigation bar done :) instead of using tailwind like usual I actually wrote vanilla css, it felt weird but i kinda... liked it? there's something nice about cascading styles down instead of ctrl-cing classes #coding

Two buttons. One has a left-facing arrow and the text "part 0", and the other has the text "part 2" and a right-facing arrow. they combine to create a chapter navigator.

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 26/11/2025

[day 14 of daily making till 2025 ends] hack club slack is down :( but that means I got a lot done for mixtape! i set up a sveltekit route to hit my AI proxy, wrote a system prompt, did some frontend debugging, and Mixtape is now able to write Strudel code all by itself! #coding #strudel

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 24/11/2025

[day 13 of daily making till 2025 ends] played minecraft! played d&d! fixed the deployment workflow for README! and added a play button to Mixtape that interfaces with Strudel's CodeMirror editor - one step closer to being able to completely hide the editor! #coding

a button labeled "play" and a small strudel.cc editor on a cream background

000

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 23/11/2025

[day 12 of daily making till 2025 ends] finished up the first page for README, and started on my new project idea - i'm calling it mixtape! Strudel made it really easy to use in my project - i just import @strudel/repl and create a <strudel-editor> element! here it is so far, its not much 😭 #coding

020

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 16/11/2025

[day 5/50 of daily making until 2025 ends] fixed bugs and fiddled with github actions a ton, but tanuki (alpha) is now ready! still needs some more testing before the full ship but it is up: github.com/Hex-4/tanuki... #coding #animalcrossing

[day 3/50 of making stuff daily until 2025 ends] still sick, but I did manage to add K.K. Slider songs to tanuki! you can now select the "k.k. slider" game, and you'll get a new button allowing you to skip a song. there's also a new "random" game option! #coding #animalcrossing

[day 2/50 of making stuff every day till the end of the year] since i'm sick I didn't get much done today but I did figure out how to get tanuki to save the selected game! i used tauri's store plugin, but had to do some workarounds since async doesn't play nice with svelte $effect. #coding

020

hex4 @hex4.xyz · 13/11/2025

[day 1/50 of making stuff every day till the year is over] (this is yesterday's update that i forgor to post) i added rain sounds to tanuki with their own slider! tanuki is a Tauri rewrite of nook.camp, a desktop app that plays Animal Crossing's hourly music #coding

this is a little late but I recently made Modulo, a minimalist webapp to put time in perspective! select a time range, and see what's left visually. add notes and colors to dots, then save them. change up your theme too! try it out: modulo-app.pages.dev code: github.com/Hex-4/modulo

Modulo's interface. A grid of dots, with only some highlighted, representing the current year and how much time has passed. The current day is prominent in orange, and some dots are different colors. Buttons and selectors at the bottom allow you to change the shown time range, save customizations, and change the theme.
