easily my favorite part of this though >:)

When you quit Spotify without having an alternative lined up so you have a deadline for your media player project. #ADHD hacks #in no way can this possibly go wrong

There now is a little vocab detective screen:) it's supposed to be an app for 5th grade English in Germany, the words are from a school book they use in my area.

[jays-dev-blog]

I really like farming sims. Cozy games in general are nice, but my brain really likes the grow-stuff-talk-to-people thing. So many hours in Coral Island~

POV you're a student with social anxiety+adhd so your power fantasy is having a garden and being active in your local community (wild, ikr)

Day 2 of Vocab game coding on Godot! It's getting easier!

Never made a point and click before! In seven years of game programming! I understand why people like Godot for 2D stuff now

[jays-dev-blog]

Trying to get into Godot again! With corporations escalating their villain arcs all over the place, maybe getting some practice here isn't such a bad idea.

Motivated to make vocab practice games for the 10y/o i'm tutoring:)

[jays-dev-blog]

spelling level finally done!

what do you use for hand tracking ? pure camera or some glove/tool

[jays-dev-blog]

I'm using the built-in hand tracking of my old Oculus 2 headset. It's pretty convenient to use in Unity, and I can work with the finger positions to interpret all sorts of gestures. (Although there are plugins that make the code work with a normal webcam outside of VR)
