RC Day 29 - MakeCode Arcade

Another️ kind of chill/less-driven day.

• Learned about positioned layout in CSS. Of course, I have done some position:-ing in my time, but I learned some things today that helped me understand how it really works, like stacking contexts and containing blocks.
• Coolest part of the day was mobbing on making an arcade game with arcade.makecode.com. Here’s the game: whale hunts businessman, which was inspired by the creative coding prompt: 🐋🎣👔. MakeCode Arcade is a platform for arcade games, with visual block editor and many sensible defaults and useful utilities. I guess it’s a kind of DSL for arcade games. I was impressed by what we could create in 75 minutes.

Tomorrow is the mid-point of my batch. I can’t believe how quickly it’s flown by. I intend to spend some time reflecting on RC so far, and to begin setting intentions for my remaining time here.
