Welcome to another Dev Blog where I go on about amazing content and new things coming to the website. Lets go ahead and see what is cooking this week.
Let me introduce you to a small project I decided to expand;
Random Monster Generator Ver 0.1 to Ver 0.2
I am beginning this post with a quick explanation on how this generator was born and how does it work. This was originally for a school related project. This became my first successful low JavaScript project. I won’t lie when I used a little bit of AI to assist me on this project with fixes.
I know what you’re going to say but hear me out; AI is a mini-assistant to me. Its not going to change how I view AI nor will I ever touch a AI image generator with a ten foot pole. You will never see me use or share a AI generated image on here or anywhere. Period.
When I say low JavaScript, its code for less lines of scripting language in a file. I use this in order to stay organized and help debug broken code. Low code can either break or make your project work if done successfully.
For this project in particular; low code started it and ended it. The only thing that changed is the CSS style.
This is a screenshot of the first version that was posted over here. That version is no longer being maintained.
However, I am currently setting up a GitHub to keep track on the monster generators progress and the upcoming versions. The GitHub link is here!
The API that I use to make this generator possible is from https://api.open5e.com/.
I give you the new and updated Random Monster Generator! Now including all of the monsters from open5e.com!
This was a great blog posting. You were able to show personality and drew me in and kept me interested in what you were talking about. The before and after pictures helped display the project growth. I really liked the design and color changes made. Everything was more eye-pleasing because of those changes. I have a suggestion but am undecided if even I like it lol. At the bottom of the blog where you link the next blog page or main link, it reads latest to oldest. Since I am used to reading left to right, I was confused for a second as I expected to find blog #3 on my left of that list and not on the right. At a quick glance I did not see blog #3 and skipped reading to my right but instead began searching the rest of the page for the blog #3 link. Simply because of that I thought reversing the list at the bottom to read left to right instead of right to left. I do however understand the reasoning for doing it the way you did as I would want the most recent to be visible on the readers left. Thus, my hesitation to suggest it. Well, done.
