I added a bit more to the text adventure. Up to where you turn in the parcel. For now I am going to try and add some pictures and see if I can help reduce the number of individual nodes. However, Im not going to spend to much more time on this specific project as it was just a fun test.

After having the text adventure game made, I wanted to reskin it and be able to manually add in the options that I want. I know that its a bit odd but being able to work with the prompting keeps me going. I wont claim to have built this all brick by brick, but im still learning. Fake it till you make it or something.

I added a game to the site. Its just a basic js text game, but im going to try and flesh it out with images and more prompts. I did this before on free code camp, but I didnt just want to copy/paste that project over here as I wanted to see if I could start over again fresh. Its a bit different as I am using AI to help build out some of the skeleton, but I want to make sure that I can manually add in objects and further details manually.

Made two smaller changes to the site today. I added a Spodify player instead of the audio player where I had to manually upload songs. I use spodify on the daily so its just easier to update the playlist. I also added a calculator removing the css image of a calculator I made in the Freecodecamp tutorials. My wife kept joking about it not working so I felt the need to replace it. Now that I'm thinking about it I am adding an image of her too. I didnt at first because the internet is a weird place, but this is my little corner and I want her in it.

I ran into a few issues today, but I think that these type of things help me gain skills going forward. First I realized that each change I had to delete cache and cookies in my browser so I could see them better. Than out of no where I was just unable to push from github to neocities. It turns out I had to update the actions file to some new version for node.js actions. idk. Finally I realzied the music player I added wont be able to work without the files and neocites wont let me upload a .mp3 without paying them. Im gonna think about it.

I took a long break from this site for a while. I guess I got lost after it was first created. Some times I get pretty excited about the idea of making a thing, but once the first few steps are done some of the excitement wears off.
