It's a term refering to a measure that operating systems take when they encounter a problem or error they cannot solve. Kernel Panic is a term mostly used by Unix-based systems (like Linux or Ubuntu), but some equivalents would be the famous Windows Blue Screen of Death!

I have been looking for courses that help guide through the beginning stages of actually building a game in an Engine.

A Random tiktok video showed me Unity Learn, this isn't sponsored (obv) but it has been so helpful. I already feel more at ease inside Unity and I have barely started the courses.

It's also 100% free!!!

It shows you every piece of info, down to downloading Unity itself and all of the other things you need!

Truly so helpful!

Out of curiosity, I used the material definition of one of those memory header thingy on a regular sculpture:

I changed the shell casing on my ds lite! The old case was breaking and I didn't want to lose yet another ds to the orange hinge ribbon cord tearing.

The first three pictures are of my practice runs on an old, broken ds. You can see where the cord tore a bit in picture two. Picture three is what I consider the toughest cord to put back together. There are a couple other tricky cords that other people consider bigger problems, but once you get the hang of those they're not a that bad. There is no trick to this one. It is tiny and bent in such a way that it likes to close the latch its supposed to go inside instead.

Picture four is on the working ds when I thought I was done putting it in the new shell casing, before realizing there was a piece missing that was still stuck in the old shell. Picture five is the missing piece, and picture six is what it looks like once installed. I had to take the entire ds back apart in order to put that piece in its place. It added an extra hour onto the work time.

The next three pictures are what it looks like finished! There are a couple of flaws I couldn't do anything about because the new shell was built wrong, like the battery cover. I had to tape that on because there was nowhere for the screw to hang on to. Can you find the star glitter? I found it on the circuit board when I took the working one apart.

Okie dokie!

Today, my goal is to finish up the UX Prototyping course. It's a bit boring because I'm not planning on using these programs myself. I want a good understanding of the basics of most programs though. It's probably a ✨sparkle worry ✨ issue, but hey. I did see a lot of posts and content by UX designers saying that they wish they knew more programs. It makes sense to me, but I love learning. 😋

I'll probably get in a HMTL and/or CSS course today. I did the math...it's about 40+ hours of video time between the two courses. That's a lot. I want to make sure I really absorb it so I'm gonna take a bit longer. I don't plan on finishing them this week, that is for sure. I'm going for balance this month, no cramming! 😅😂

I am going to start my first portfolio project today!!! I don't know which one I'm gonna do yet, but I'm gonna do it! I'll probably find a challenge somewhere first, maybe. Even if it doesn't make it to my portfolio, it will be good practice. I have a project of sorts that I was working on, but I'm not sure it would work for this. It will take awhile to get done though, so I'll be doing it along with the other projects.

The AI got to me!

So, you know how I said I was gonna get seduced by the AI dev classes... They found me, and I think I'm a goner. 😋😁 I wanna take courses that discuss it but don't cover any coding yet. Like I said yesterday, I need to know what it's gonna do before I learn how.

I'm also looking at Learning Experience Design. This is something I've always been interested. Might as well take a course on it while it's available. Try it on for size, if you will...

P.S. I'm not sure I like having a list of things I'm "supposed" to do each day. I have tried it a couple times and it feels like a demand (no bueno) and I have more fun when it's just written about instead...😊

I have a list of things I wanna get done eventually and that tend to work better. Making a daily list just adds too much to do. Little lists tend to turn into big lists no matter what I do. If I make something bite size, I just take bigger bites...
