June 8th, 2023: Errands Day and A Little Programming

Today was not bad.

Now that school is over, I have a lot more liberty and free time. Today, I had to help my grandma with some errands and we went to go shopping and eating out as well. Anyways, when I got home, I played some Minecraft.

I also made a better splash screen for my games. Browsers don't let websites play audio before a user clicks/interacts with the website, which caused a delay for the audio part of my previous splash screen. I made it so that when the game has finished loading, it forces the user to click on a play button before my intro plays, then the actual title screen is shown. I haven't updated any of my current games to have this splash screen yet, but I plan on adding it tomorrow or in the near future.

I can also spent a little less time creating games now because I created a template with just the splash screen as a default, so now I don't need to drag stuff in and piece the splash screen by myself every time. Anyways, hopefully I get more committed in game development. I plan on participating in the Summer Slow Jam: Idle because it starts soon and it fits in the time period where It's summer and right before summer classes.
