Jumped headfirst into C++ to build out a music theory engine for the game!

Lot's of shenanigans related setting up the IDE, compiling reliably, etc. but the actual coding part was pretty straight-forward.

Next week I'll start looking into Unreal's Quartz music system, which should enable me to add rhythm/time signatures/beats per minute to the game.

An hour or two a day, starting beginning of October, no previous Unreal experience.

Using C++ to build custom blueprints.

Current task is to develop a

Designing and Writing and music engine has been documented here:

This is a wiki for the random ass game/prototype/demo thing I've been working on.

I'll probably work on it until someone pays me to work on something else.

This Notion page is the central documentation repository for my various experiments using Unreal Engine.

It’s the front page for all the design, commentary, links and resources for my journey into Unreal.

This space is highly opinionated. Cause ain’t nobody gonna actually read this let alone depend on it for anything.

Y’all just gonna open this wall of text and close it faster than you can scroll your insta.

I see you.

Here’s a link to the repo:

Notion is actually super dope in the sense that it integrates really nicely out of the box with GitHub. I get really excited about these kinds of things.

Why Git?

One of the things I’m trying to do is to build out in the open. Really lean into how one works remotely post-2020.

Video streaming is stupid cheap, so I should do it more, and recording where I’ve invested my time allows me to optimize those investments.

You can’t improve what you don’t measure.

Yo calendars in Notion are sick. Like look at this. It’s a fine needle you have to thread to make something so powerful so easy to use. Dope.
