After about 2-3 weeks of Comp Sci 1, I'm pretty excited to start really working on my website. We've learned about how HTML creates the content of a website and CSS creates the format, and used that to make our person cards. Today I watched videos about the web and using tags in HTML, which I'm using to make this journal entry!

i made my website look cool now i just have to update the content-- i want to work on my about me page and maybe start some projects for my projects page (which is atrocious)

last week i made a website page for tara using javascript event listeners, which she taught us in class. it kind of made me want to make a gvs page, so that might be my next codesketch.

over the weekend, i worked on my ghost game codesketch for like three hours before i realized there was a much easier way to do it, which took me five minutes. i used event listeners for each of the square divs listening for a click, which made the div disappear and added one to the click counter. my goal was for a notification to appear when the ghost and the mouse were on the same coordinates, but because i was using a transition delay to make the ghost fall behind, the code was reading the ghost and mouse coordinates as the same regardless of how far behind the ghost was. i ended up just adding an event listener for "transition-end," which read when the ghost caught up to the mouse because it meant the ghost was no longer transitioning.

oh wow! it's been forever since i've done this. yay for 2023! i've posted a couple new projects, the most recent were digital valentine's day cards for my sister and kellen. for kiera's i had to figure out how to use a function to create divs with different specific backgrounds, which was super annoying but i got there eventually. for kellen's i got to figure out how to make elements draggable, which was so satisfying once i figured it out but i still want to try to consolidate it. right now i have a different function for each draggable element, but i wanna find a way to make it one function i can apply to any element. anyway, happy valentine's day!

in the past two weeks i've completed two projects, both of which i'm really excited about. the first (and the coolest) was a birthday card for avery, which took me forever to make and was so cool. it featured the sun setting over some mountains and then when night sets there are rotating stars, one of which contains a hidden link to a dancing fork. my other project was a flying car, which was pretty cool too.
