This week, I spent time working on a website that used an API. Fun Fact: the API didn’t work. Next time I work on it, I’d either try to get it to work, or use a different API.

Right now, 70% is my most consistent score with the AWS exams. The highest I got was 75%. Although I’m happy with this, I still want better results. 70% is only the minimum score needed to pass, and I want more than that. As a matter of fact, I aim to surpass 75% in my practice exams before the real deal.

This score is obviously not over 70%. Although better than my last scores, which were 56%, 54%, and 64%(meaning I got the same score two times), I’m still not happy where I’m at. In conclusion, git gud scrub.

Today, I took the 4th AWS practice exam without notes, and scored…

Last time when I took the 3rd practice exam without notes, I scored 54%. Although the improvement was good, It’s not where I want to be. My goal for these exams is to scored over 70% (which is the minimal score needed to pass these exams). Sorry it ain’t coding stuff, but the grind don’t stop.

I should let you know that some of this stuff is already built-in engine code. The gravity, physics, bounce, and slip is built in. The grab script, and player was made by me. Made this post to give credit to the Unity engine devs.

I’ve added in a ground check for my player. This ensures that you can’t double, triple, and infinity jump after leaving the ground. Just one jump is all you got (says no when you try to jump in the air).

The only problem is that whenever there’s a small, unnoticeable gap between the ground and the player, the ground check thinks that the player is still in the air. Thus, not allowing the player to jump. I plan to get that fixed the next Free Friday, hopefully leaving me with enough time to work on more important matters.

Basically added floating circle, and triangle. I also updated jumping again.

Infinite jumping still exists, but it’s more of tap jumping instead of press and hold to zoom up.

The player is now affected by gravity. And to polish upward movement, I left some parts of the code commented(if I truly need it again, but I doubt I will). Going up is more powerful than elevator music for this block. However, I need to add a ground check to ensure that the player doesn’t float up into space whenever I leave the spacebar. Speaking of which, I should make it so that the spacebar can be used to go up. Anyways, enjoy this comparison.

Before

        Vector2 direction = new Vector2(xInput, yInput).normalized;
        body.velocity = direction * speed;

---

After

        //Vector2 direction = new Vector2(xInput, yInput).normalized;
        //body.velocity = direction * speed;

Remember that goal I set last Free Friday(not counting the Django post) to start tossing boxes? Well if you haven’t seen the video I posted first, I call mission accomplished. So instead of the mouse doing the work, I plan on having the hand(circle) drag the boxes whenever it’s colliding with them.

Unorthodox for the standard drag and drop, but that’s the point. I predict that this concept will have dirty execution, which will make this a big accomplishment when done right.

Today I worked on a Django assignment, and encountered an error that I couldn’t find the reason why it was there. This is a cry for help. I spent the whole class working on this error, and it’s still there.
