Still need to do the kickoff post... Overall this week again was quite good! Been very excited to work on my game but I realized that it's going to take quite a long while to finish if I ever do.
Math Academy
I lost the chart but I think I did around 470 XP this week. Up to Diamond league! Goal is to maintain my position here and perhaps try to get the number 1 spot one week.
ML Learning
Almost done with the second of Andrew Ng's courses. One more to go and then I'll move on to either fast.ai or start grinding on Understanding Deep Learning by Simon Prince. At some point I'll have to cut back on my game dev time to start doing ML projects.
Project
Made a lot of progress on the mechanics of my base building roguelite deck bulider game. Currently not really focusing on the look of it or the content. Spending a lot of time "vibe coding" and building out the systems and mechanics. Gemini 2.5 is genuinely super useful for this. I think my setup is pretty extensible and I dedicate a bit of time each week to refactoring and making things cleaner and separating things out which I think helps a lot when using LLMs. Here's a sneak preview below! I currently have my card system, drafting, building placement and pathing system setup. I may spend some time this week trying to add some sound effects, music art and a bit more "polish" on it.
