hi! this is my coding journal. i'm leela, a 14 year old girl who likes to code! i'm currently working on a scratch project called "tiny corgi". it's a platform game that's really cute! i love this all lower-case, gray, bold, italic, arial font.

i added a few new elements to my journal, including a link to the scratch project i'm working on. i'm doing some research on how to make a murder mystery game for my big project. i think i'm going to make it in scratch.

i've decided i'm going to try woof js to break my habit of coding with scratch, by using a middle ground between easy coding and real coding.

i just remembered that this journal still exists, which is a crazy coincidence because it's been excactly one month since my last entry- as if i had a built-in reminder/timer in my head that knew to go off after a month of posting! (am i the only one who finds this crazy?) Anyways, since my last entry, i've been working on the fizzbuzz project, a new "escape-the-room" project, and learning how to make javascript functions.

pt.2 of november 8/9

i forgot to mention- i went to a computer science competition last weekend! i went to the pclassic with the dalton com sci team members. it was mostly complicated math that i couldn't understand, but it was still very fun. also, i'm finally pushing this on my own without making molly help me with it (hooray!)

i've been trying to do the computer science team test preps, but it's very difficult to coordinate, plus the javascript is super confusing. i think i'll start doing codeacademy again.

i've been working on my escape the room project. i decided to theme it based off of a cartoon that i used to watch called miffy.

i finished my first escape room! spoiler: a duck pops up when you click on the sink tap in the kitchen. the 1 down, 8 more to go.

i finished the second escape room puzzle! spoiler: you have to fill in a rainbow in the order of some colored pencils. this one was glitching a lot because of the layers of the rainbow, but it also fixed another glitch that was happening.

i forgot to say this earlier, but i finished my favascript function with molly last week. also, i did the "fizzbuzz" challenge on scratch. it works! i'm going to post all of my diary entries for the month tommorow.

i started working on a gift idea for my friend which puts pieces of a story together and the story is made up of inside jokes.

first journal entry of the new year! (and decade). this year i want to work on being able to code using javascript

january 24, 2020

my sister's birthday was yesterday. it was at the ice cream museum, which makes me want to do a coding project with sprinkles!

february 1, 2020

i'm updating my personal website today. i'll add an entry about my miffy escape the room game! it's almost finished, but it keeps glitching :(

april-may-ish confusion, 2020

i sort of abandoned my journal for a bit there (spring break and the beginning of coronavirus quarentining began) so i've made a new journal so i can ~start afresh~.
