A little less complicated, a little more coding, please. ♫

   

    Okay, so selecting an individual character is going to be pushed back to the "add later" pile.

    As of now, I have an image to use as the background (an amazing campfire photo) and a "cartooned" version of it. I will study how they both look once I have rough images of the characters to add, but I imagine it will look more visually blended if I don't have sketches laid over real life backgrounds.

    I need to figure out how to make the image fill the whole screen but remain centred, so that's task one. I haven't finished HTML lessons yet, and I believe CSS is needed to complete this task, so for the time being it's back to studying for me.

This, background's on fi-yaaaaaaaa! ♫

Image
    I did it! I have a background! Whee!      It took a bit of trial and error and a few google searches but I have a background that fills the screen. I took the original image, cartoonified it, cropped it into a wide image and voila. Screenshot of webpage in full screen:     I will probably have to fiddle with the sizing a bit more when I upload characters to lay over it, but I'm kind of proud of just this baby step. My frustration tolerance was below 0 today so I think I did well to get this done.     Next up, I need to add a text box for users to enter their name/username. I think I'll put it at the bottom, under the fire, with the characters in various poses to the right and left of the flames. I said 5 characters, but I might cut it to 4 for even numbers. And it's probably less important right now, I can add more details later. Must remember not to get sucked into details!     Also, I came up with a way to remember the syntax ...

New Blog, who this?

Okay. First blog. So, future me, let's create "Dungeon Code".      Brief outline (because your memory is atrocious): Dungeon Code will be an interactive game of sorts, inspired heavily by your love of Critical Role and fantasy. Because you struggle with concentration, and therefore staying focused on learning, this will hopefully be something you can work on to implement what you've learned and cement the knowledge in your brain, and make remembering coding languages a lot easier (and fun). Dungeon Code will be a set up of fantasy characters, namely a group of 4 alongside the main character (the user). As you are known to go off on tangents and focus too heavily on the details before creating the main skeleton of the beast, the focus will be on how each lesson in a language (Python, being as that's what you learned first) can be implemented as an element in the fantasy. One quick example: spells. For a spellcasting character, they would need components to cast ...
