daily activities:
- Last night I tried to play with BeebBox again, trying to figure out the drum sounds and the melodic instruments.
- I assembled some cumbia playlists and sought some wisdom on composing a cumbia in GarageBand. The YouTube videos didn’t help me.
- This morning I’m printing Dall-E mini images
- images of bananas taped to a wall, or tied up with jute, maybe some of the toy submarines with hippos. cropping some of the branding.
- ran the DALL-E mini prompt on DALL-E 2
- Were interviewed for local radio
- I printed the new images
- spent a few minutes trying to resolve some of the logic issues in Seeds of Solitude (Scratch version 3)
- moving artwork for one of Juan’s costumes caused Scratch to interpolate pixels rather than constrain movement to the pixel grid. I found out after an undo was no longer possible. I copied one of the images from the prior version (2) into the backpack and placed it into version 3 and deleted the corrupt costume. It took some shuffling. This is an expression of Scratch trying to guess my intent. I may have to use vector art to keep this from happening again.
- Took a stab at the Z-ordering and made no progress.
- Realized that in the old version Juan would delete the clone instance. I have dropped the [delete this clone] block in place of two blocks that would keep the clone but reset mature to 0 and switch costume to 1.
- My back hurts and there is an event in an hour. I’m going to call it a day.
