Friendslop NPC v1

07:15PM

Added a diverse set of NPCs into the game, that way we can test their speech, movement and slowly build out the RPG flavor for the game. I am thinking that we start small with a decent set of characters, then we can build out small camps and villages. Once there is a traveling caravan, we can move towards the idea of a village too. An example quest could be that you meet a couple people that are refugees of the elven raids and that they been traveling around to eventually build a village. The first phase of the quest would be to help them get a caravan, then later on we could implement a way for them to build a small settlement. This way the world building can continue and we can keep the flow going, as for the death and murder aspect, this will be interesting to look into.

BBS Unit

09:13PM

We go the first part of the bbs hooked up, so that people could in theory message using it, but what I want to see is if I can get a small modular display going. This would pull the information from the kbve bbs and then display it on the board, ideally it be a small device that shows what is going on in realtime within the chat room.

Nginx Kong

10:05AM

Going to end up spending the whole day trying to get the kong and nginx reverse proxy fixed. There are no plans to give up, just going to wild out into the eco-system until I get it operational. The biggest issue that we are facing is getting the CORS to be operational, without breaking the security of the whole pod/eco-system. I plan on also making sure that any front facing application has CORS built into it too, so that we can handle it at the rust level.

ARURF

11:05PM

The best gamemode that can ever come out for league, its just so much fun to burn through it. My plan was to play some BF this weekend but I just do not have the time to deal with shooters.

2024

Quotes The quotes plugin for the journal entries should be similar to how we are doing itemdb.astro, where it grabs the front matter quote data and then displays.

PasteBin We should place the a KBVE pastebin as a test case, maybe even include the ability to have it cross post onto the Discord? There could be additional requirements like password protection via AES? Ideally this would be a test on our ability to utilize the SQL database and also we do need to test out the transactions against the planetscale model.

FlyIO It seems thast the FlyIO service also seemed to remove their free service, according to them it was because of abuse. For now they have a pay-as-you-go plan and will cover about $5 worth of expenses each month. Now that I am thinking it would still make sense to at least deploy 3 VMs that would act like cache end points to help offset any heavy load. The 256mb should be enough for us to handle around 10000 active connections each, so the cache pool would be around 30,000 active connections. I will try to formulate a way to call those cache endpoints without having it affect the main script, we could setup a simple client side algo to help with that. As for the flyio deployments, it should still be all done via the github actions? We could also make it so that it gets deployed as dev branches, this way we can test case our dev APIs.

2023

6:00am - Still need to clean a bit of my room up, the only mess that is getting me annoyed is around by work bench.
7:27am - Time to clear up the Layout issue with the MDX files. Oh man, the joys :/
8:24am - I should make another patch with the layout: killer.
7:23pm - I been at this for almost 12 hours and I am still running into random errors, ugh! This day is extremely lame.
