Classes are the foundation of the engine, allowing for easy object creation and instantiation. With the project, even though I do use more of a procedural programming approach, classes and objects are key for abstracting away and simplifying the develpment process. The entire class file is quite simple, using the power of Lua metatables to streamline the process for the programmer.
After about 3 months since I started making this website, I finally reached a MVP, and can take the “Website Under Construction” banner away from the homepage. I decided to challenge myself, and write everything from scratch, besides using base Jekyll without a theme, and Bulma for the css frontend. Usually when I start a project like that, I end up scrapping it because I am a perfectionist and things quickly fall out of scope. However, this is the one project I can say I am proud of and actually finished.
Over the next few weeks, this site is going to go through a multitude of changes. I want to be able to use this space as a tech blog through my multitude of projects, and talk about the many problems and solutions I face. I would frequently come across peculiar solutions that I do not find anywhere else, and think posting and explaining these would be beneficial to me, and any passer-by that may have the same niche problem.
