Sweep It Under the Rug
Hello humans! We’re back with the DAILY DEVLOG!!!!! I need to go to bed and feed my geck, so let’s dive right in!
No Sweeping for You!
Today, I finished up last night’s work of finishing channel 2. All that was left was adding an output to u8 fn that’s just sitting there as dead code rn and wiring it up to read_byte(). relatively uneventful, except for when I forgot how bitwise operations work.
WeeeWoooWeeeWooo
After channel 2, the obvious next step was channel 1. Channel 1 is just channel 2 with an extra feature: sweep. Sweep is kinda funky. I thought it changes envelope, but it actually changes pitch. It does some weird funky shenanigans to change the pitch and also on note trigger. A lot of building channel 1 was just making echo fns for proper layering of structs. Pan docs was once again confusing.
Notes
A side note on documentation. While working, I decided to read the forword of pan docs, and lo and behold, its built for game developers, but there’s also a Complete GB Technical Reference which was supposedly built for emulator builders. I decided to check it out and see if it would be more useful than pan docs. BUT GUESS WHAT?? It had EVRYTHING EXCEPT AUDIO in there!! The word “audio” was used exactly once!! Apu wasn’t even mentioned!!! SO I have to continue with pan docs, which does have decentish detail for audio.
Music
I ended up listening to a lot of Chappell Roan, Cavetown, CITY LIMITS, and MAFUMAFU this session. Y’all should listen to the PEAK music of Sorry Ghost as well. See y’all next time!

@asho you gotta listen to the kwality music recs
@infinite_silly is that your secret to creating wonderful applications?
@asho naturally! my fren, @ElffawIThink also listens to Jamie Paige and they are a far better developer than I am. Last sem they made an application that make a graph of how different Wikipedia pages are connected to each other, and their current project is also pretty cool!!
@infinite_silly i must start listening to them rnn. Your friends projects are really cooll btwwww. have they uploaded it somewhere?I wanna see^^
@asho the wikipedia graph project is on their GitLab. Click the view source button on their conlang classifier project, then go to their gitlab profile. You’ll see the wikipedia graph project at the bottom. The only issue is that the complete version is on their laptop and I don’t think they committed/pushed since it was last updated 8 months ago, so it’s in a half working state, but it’s still cool.
@asho Also, the conlang classifier is on their stardance profile
@infinite_silly thank youu soo much for telling mee. if you cant tell already im an absolute beginner but I really think your projects are cool plus your friend’s are cool as well. Also thank you for being so sweet and sorry for writing like a second grade:)
@asho no worries! There was a time we were all beginners! I only started learning Rust this year even!
@infinite_silly thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:)
