Agony and More Agony – Home Server Setup

Scopique June 26, 2022

This past week, I have been trying to set up a home server. This whole thing started when I had been talking with my boss about the server he has in his home (Synology DS920+ specifically) and all of the cool things…

Dice Dice Baby

Scopique June 20, 2022

Because there are more projects that I haven’t gotten to than those which I have, last December I came across an Instagram add for silicone dice molds and thought, “that’s what I want to do with my free time!”. What I got…

Starfield

Scopique June 15, 2022

This is a wildly condensed version of a post I had written this morning. You’re welcome. Starfield is the one thing I had wanted to see out of the spate of “not-E3” presentations of last week. As a sci-fi fanatic and an…

Tales of Tribute – A DCCG for Non-DCCG Folks

After The Big Bang – Editing A Galaxy

Scopique April 29, 2022

I finished up the fast and loose galaxy editor v.0.0.1 this morning. It’s certainly not glamourous, but it’s functional, and that’s what modern development is supposed to be, right? Make it work, refine it. Make it work, refine it…ad nauseum. FlexLayout The…

React +- Firebase: Data Storage

Scopique April 28, 2022

Squirrel! Testing PlayCanvas

Scopique April 24, 2022

One of the benefits of having attended the JS Game Developers Conference was that I learned a bit about a bunch of game engines written in or designed for use with Javascript. Although I hadn’t intended Project Galaxy to use a graphical…
