Gosh, yesterday didn't go as planned.
I didn't do ANY coding on this week's game. I didn't do ANY coding on the iOS Framework. But that doesn't mean I didn't do any coding!! -=-=- My bedroom wall is bland as hell, and I desperately need to fill it up. The other day I got the AI to generate a lovely pixellated retro sunset landscape image, and figured "Sure, that'll do.." Yesterday, I hit the print button, expecting to print in an old-skool banner style, over multiple sheets that I could then "connect" on the wall. I hunted the print dialogue's options.. Hmm.. So I opened up Pages, the free DTP tool included with MacOS, and scanned through my available options. .. .. hmmm.. So I downloaded Serif's Affinity Publisher, and that complained that my Free Trial was up, because I guess I must've tested it for something, a while ago, before deleting it and never using it. .... hmmmm.. So I opened up Google Docs to see if .. nope.. that can't do it either. What the heck!?! I swear, I could've easily done this in the 90's, why's it so hard now!? Oh, sure, there's a ton of apps that are specifically designed to do this task, ranging from £1.99 with adverts to £169.99 I saw one for... The what now!?! .. Bugger that.. I'll make my own. So, a new tool was started. There's a ton of maths involved to get everything up to scratch, and then I need to decide exactly how best to render the output as a pdf, but that's the plan. I REALLY shouldn't have to make this tool!!!! ..
