Bride of Frankenstein minute 67:
It’s coming up,
Like a flower,

It is kind of frustrating that a blogpost, read in less than five minutes, takes many hours to write, especially if only 40 (or less) people will be reading it, and maintaining it costs €70/yr, or €1.40 per post, especially now that there have been no races for me to compete in.

I get that people get excited over vaccinations. However, it’s not a cure, and doesn’t protect 100%. So, hand washing, social distancing, and wearing masks in public places remain essential to protect the weakest. After vaccination measures can be relaxed, but won’t disappear.

Another consecutive 🏃 day. After yestday’s “speed” I had to moderate today’s slightly. After 12.5 km I was pretty tired and stiff, remedied by some stretching. My current goal is daily 15 km runs at an easy pace by the end of April, which shouldn’t be much of a problem, I guess.

The prompt for the Sketch a Day app was exam. My experiences with exams are generally negative, especially preparing for it, and only needing a fraction to pass. I remember nothing of what I’ve learned. A good thing, since most of it was later proven factual wrong.

I went for a run, and today I ran almost 1.5 km farther in 75 minutes than yesterday. Still not in shape, though, because that’s still 3.5 km more in the same amount of time, or 30% faster than I went today. Obviously, I still have a long way to go to get back into shape.

I went for a 🏃♂️ It went much better than yesterday, when I kept hitting my maximum ♥️ heart rate, like I was sprinting 8 km long. Now, at the 8 km point, I got ⚡️➕❄️ , because of course I did. Tomorrow the same course in opposite direction. I do it just to get back in shape.

So, now it’s up to studying the craft of developing apps on the web. I suppose it will be well-covered, since it’s the thing powering most websites. For now, it will be a hobby, to extend my art hobby.

How to build a game with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - LogRocket Blog
I used this to test if my own server could be used to create HTML5 games.
Yep.
-
I have this managed shared account for which I pay 36 euros per year. I should use that to learn how to make HTML5 games, using my pixel art. I saw that game servers are really meant for players, not developers, and priced accordingly. As usual, I went for a complicated solution.

Pixel 🎨 64x64px, 4 colors. Drawn for the Sketch a Day app, prompt “loud.” Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler is pretty loud.

Creating pixel art made me think of my own game, to keep it more focussed. Since I don’t own a working desktop computer, a native app is out of the question. The alternative is HTML5 on a web server, which isn’t free and rather complicated.

There used to be a term for maxing out the number of characters in a Tweet, but sadly I’ve forgotten it. It probably is for the best 🤔 Since Micro.blog has a soft limit for the character count, perhaps that can be a source of creativity. I see very little experimenation, though.
