I&#8217;ve realized that it makes sense at this point to refactor a lot of the game logic code.<\/p>\n<p>So when I do get time to do a pommodoro of work, I&#8217;ve been trying to clean up and finish that part.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still missing some graphics and the menus and UI could use a lot of love, but I&#8217;m still working on it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CHEAP 3D PRINTER REVIEW from gearbest (Tronxy XY-100 \/ Anet A8)- This Is A Review\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D7frP_pXbvU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In the interim I&#8217;ve also bought myself a 3D printer. It&#8217;s the TronXY 100. A cheap and cheerful acrylic frame printer. You receive the parts for it flat-packed like Ikea furniture and assemble it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been quite liking it. At first it was pretty wonky. The screws for the Z axis (augers?) were too tight in the z-axis gear that meshes with them to carry the z-axis up and down. It was so tight that when I received it, the printer didn&#8217;t really work. I had to grease them with automotive grease to get it to even move.<\/p>\n<p>Since then I&#8217;ve actually done tiny mods to increase the amount of printable space on the y-axis. I can print slightly larger things and the prints are more accurate now that I&#8217;ve tightened things down.<\/p>\n<p>What remains is to maybe build a much sturdier box frame for it instead of the free standing tower. The tower has some give and I think that manifests as waves in my prints.<\/p>\n<p>All said, I&#8217;m as busy as I always am. Maybe I should take time more often to write down my thoughts here, as reading through them again really helps solidify my plans.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now. Have a wonderful day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there!
