A few websites I made

Hello. I just wanted to share a few of the websites I made. One is  an online soundboard, and the other is an online index/encyclopedia for a competitive fighting game.

Although Web development is not my first foray into programming, it was pretty fun to dip my toes into it. I especially like my SamSho strats website, especially after all that time indexing all the character pages. That was a pain. Other than that, web development is pretty easy to get a grasp of, and I definitely do see myself diving more into it as a secondary pastime.

Shigechi Discord Bot

How do you do, fellow kids? Just kidding. I'm 22. Anyways, I'm writing to show you guys a cool project I have been working on. Ever heard of Discord? You know those things called Bots? Well I made one of those in C# with the help of the Discord.net API made by LtLi0n over on Github. Anyways, I based this bot and its commands off the character Shigechi, from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, based on his unique stand, Harvest, a spiritual entity that takes shape in the form of bee like humanoids and can collect objects/make decompose small objects.


ShigechiBot follows some of the same concepts, but in Discord form. It can  give resources to programming guides/websites, give resources for competitive gaming, and resources on how to cook, and much more in the future as I keep updating. This was a great project. I had a lot of fun creating it, and have gained a better understanding of C# better than the rest of those stupid coding books that make you do a whole bunch of unfinished projects and don't really teach you anything.

For a much bigger update, I intend to incorporate bigger commands, like searching images from an online database, Youtube Video Search straight on the application, and hopefully soon. 

Anyways, if you want to check out the bot, you can click right here for the invite link.

Snake Game in Python

Hello again. I made a snake game in Python.

Here is the source code.

import random
import curses

s = curses.initscr()
curses.curs_set(0)
sh, sw = s.getmaxyx()
w = curses.newwin(sh, sw, 0, 0)
w.keypad(1)
w.timeout(100)

snk_x = sw/4
snk_y = sh/2
snake = [
    [snk_y, snk_x],
    [snk_y, snk_x-1],
    [snk_y, snk_x-2]
]

food = [sh/2, sw/2]
w.addch(int(food[0]), int(food[1]), curses.ACS_PI)

key = curses.KEY_RIGHT

while True:
    next_key = w.getch()
    key = key if next_key == -1 else next_key

    if snake[0][0] in [0, sh] or snake[0][1]  in [0, sw] or snake[0] in snake[1:]:
        curses.endwin()
        quit()

    new_head = [snake[0][0], snake[0][1]]

    if key == curses.KEY_DOWN:
        new_head[0] += 1
    if key == curses.KEY_UP:
        new_head[0] -= 1
    if key == curses.KEY_LEFT:
        new_head[1] -= 1
    if key == curses.KEY_RIGHT:
        new_head[1] += 1

    snake.insert(0, new_head)

    if snake[0] == food:
        food = None
        while food is None:
            nf = [
                random.randint(1, sh-1),
                random.randint(1, sw-1)
            ]
            food = nf if nf not in snake else None
        w.addch(food[0], food[1], curses.ACS_PI)
    else:
        tail = snake.pop()
        w.addch(int(tail[0]), int(tail[1]), ' ')

    w.addch(int(snake[0][0]), int(snake[0][1]), curses.ACS_CKBOARD


This was my first foray into Python, and it was very... weird. I usually program into more lower-level languages like C# and C++, or something with understandable syntax like HTML. Python is just... very weirdly structured. I still understand most of the syntax, but there isn't a whole lot you can mess around with in the context of your program. Especially in the context of being universal. The simplicity of the language doesn't give much to work with, and is pretty slow. It's good for making small games and web/widget applications, but is not great in much else. I may develop a Discord bot in Python, since there is a framework out for it and I do want to learn the language in order to code faster. I do not think however it will replace C++/C# for me.

Universal MineSweeper

Hello. I recently made a simple application game using the wxWidgets framework and C++. It's quite a simple game to play and it was a nice test using wxWidgets. With some simple button events, if-else statements, and for loops, there is Minecraft. Although it is very simple graphically, the great thing about this application is that it's universal on all desktop platforms(Windows/Linux/Mac) thanks to wxWidgets' multisystem/OS handling and threading, making it easy to speed up development processes. Anyways, I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I did making it. It's quite addicting actually.
