About Me and My Blog

Today is 14th April 2022, New Year's Day in Sri Lanka, a good day to create a new blog. So I created one. Welcome to my brand new blog; dev-tharinda!

About Me

I'm Tharinda, a developer from Sri Lanka. I'm following an IT degree and am currently in my final year. Since my childhood, I love computers. So I started following a degree in Information Technology after finishing school. I love programming. Java is my first programming language. I also know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a little bit of Android/Kotlin. I'm proficient in relational database concepts and SQL. I'm also passionate about game development. I'll talk more about that topic in my next blog post.

About My Blog

I decided to create this blog because I want to share my developer journey. I'm planning to share with you what technologies I'm learning, what are the projects I'm working on, and other related stuff. I'm also going to share my knowledge with some tutorial blog posts. Because of my tight schedule, I can't be sure about the frequency of updating the blog. But I'll try my best to keep this blog up to date. 

Goodbye and see you in my next post! 👋
- Tharinda

Day 11: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

Today I built the Credits screen! I don't know whether this is the correct way to build the Credits screen but somehow I did it. I also use the grid for the first time. It is a useful tool to align objects. Then I built the logic to blink the texts that appear at the top of the screen. It took so much time to build the logic for the "Play Again" text. I will need to review the docs for the event system of GDevelop later.

Day 12: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

I submitted my game!!!!!!!  Today is the final day to submit the game and I did it! All I had to do today is to add some sound effects and some minor tweaks. I added a particle emitter object to appear when the boy dies. I tried to add a particle effect for the "You Won" text to appear as confetti but it didn't work. Then I watched a tutorial on how to export the game and upload it to itch.io . I followed the steps and uploaded my game. At first, the resolution was not right, so I had to change it. I need to learn about different resolutions for games to avoid such kinds of problems. I also created a GitHub repository for my game. Even though this is not a fun game to play (at least for me), I feel proud for creating this game and participating in this game jam. I might write another blog post on my experience with this game jam.
