Commodore-Repair-Toolbox 2025-December-20
Going to try again! I failed this year due to drama in my life but 2025 will be better. I present my challenge of coding everyday for a year! Even if it's a couple of minutes and it's something simple it counts!
Today on 12/27/2024 I start with a .Net Maui project where I make a therapy app! It will interface with your therapist so therapy appointments focus more on solutions rather than recapping everything and it takes up 30/45 minutes
I'm moving on to a different project today! I am excited because for the first time I will develop a project with .NET core. Actually, I went to a 6-month course for ASP.NET and there wasn't much mention of core there, so I'm on my own in this, but I think I can do it.
This project I will do will be an income and expense calculator. People will see how much they spend and earn per month by entering their income and expenses and how much money they have, I will show them with a graph. Actually, I would like to make an online banking system, but I didn't want to push myself that much, but I'm always open to ideas! I will develop the frontend first and then create the database, but my database will be code-first and I will use layers for the first time in this project.
For those of you who are worried about AI taking over the world, this is the sentence produced by a “neural network” (a fancy name for my relative frequency matrix) after I had it read Beowulf, Galen, Guinea, Little Women, Mansfield Park, Peter Pan, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, A Tale of Two Cities, and The Call of the Wild. (All are freely available on Project Gutenberg in many filetypes including plain text, btw).
A (mini) progress report
Yeah... I need to be more active, but doing rewrites takes a good chunk of time.
While the launcher's re-write is almost complete (just need to write a bit of code that missing from WPF), I needed a new tool to make the installer. Flexera seems to have stopped supporting the LE version of installshield. It's a shame since this was a great tool (mainly since I could install the .NET Framework when needed). So, I needed to search for a new tool. And I found a combo. WiX (Windows Installer XAML) provides a good suite to write an installer, along with fetching dependencies via its bootstrap. Which is great. But this is a pretty complex tool. Luckily, I found another tool that helped to make the GUI for the new installer. The result is this:
This combo is pretty neat since it allows better customisation (so, fewer pages to go through and give it a nicer flair) and lets me add languages to the installer. Pretty handy indeed.
Speaking of the launcher, I did some re-tooling in the logic, thanks to data binding. In the current version, I had to practically program the entire logic to manipulate the GUI (such as disabling some buttons when no saves are in the folder). WPF allows a "code-less" way to implement that logic, by simply binding some properties of the items in the GUI to specific things. This makes the launcher less of a hassle to maintain and cut down unnecessary code from it. It does need some things to work on, but for the most part, it's easier for me to develop the game and the launcher. Here's a snippet of the implementation:
That is all for now. See you in the next post.

Day 3 of coding for a year. I'm a bit late posting this, because I passed out 😅
Last night I worked on the backend of getting the tasks implemented and my husband was getting notifications to work correctly. We had some snags with notifications since we've never done that before (I'm thankful for friends and videos online)
Today I'll be hooking up the tasks with front end work using xaml and testing.
