Let’s recap the life of the average zoomer, from my perspective as an 21yo American:

Fudge 1 year writeup

Sun, 09 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Fudge is an unofficial app that can pair with Fujifilm cameras. It’s an open-source reimplementation of Fuji’s official apps, ‘Camera Connect’ and their ‘Xapp’. The project is one year old today, and is worthy of a writeup.

Destroying an expensive camera for science

Sat, 12 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

After hacking the Fujifilm camera firmware, I got a cheap broken Fujifilm XF-1 and decided to perform my hacks on it.

The 'Awakening' Argument

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Hardly into debate, but I’ve seen this too much: For years, I used to believe X, but one day, I had an awakening. I realized that I was delusional and wrong, and that Y was the right answer all along. I can’t believe you still believe X!

Hacking Fujifilm's Digital Cameras

Fri, 30 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000

I recently got my hands on a cheap Fujifilm HS20 EXR. It’s a pretty old camera (2012), but I thought it’d be a good way to practice my hacking skills.

Creating My Own Architecture, Operating System, and Assembler

A BrainF*ck operating system.

Every programmer eventually writes a BrainFuck interpreter. I decided to do it in the most difficult way possible.

A year ago, I wrote a post describing my experience moving from Windows 10 to Linux. Here, I will elaborate on my points.

Now here’s something nobody’s interested in: I have managed to find the only surviving screenshot of pufflegamerz.doodlekit.com. That was my very first website that I created. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tUeR0LHVz5o/XgjzruMR1KI/AAAAAAAAFFo/8aFXD5r6NjIQU-Mcv9-zBERX5gBM8GkWgCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/oldwebsite.png

What I Leaned from Working on a Programming Language for 3 Years

Thu, 26 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Corescript is a small “programming language” project I started in the summer of 2017. It was more of a hobby project that I made for fun rather than something somebody would seriously use. I worked on it until early 2019, abandoned it, then I started working on the Heb12 android app. The syntax for Corescript was meant to be very simple, and somewhat similar to MIT’s Scratch.

My First Line of Code

Sun, 13 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000

I remember writing my first few lines of code. Not only do I remember doing it, but I also have the exact file, untouched since the day I created it. It’s not much, but pulling out a file I hadn’t seen in years really made me want to share it.

My New PC

Sat, 31 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

I just got a new PC about 2 weeks ago, and I love it. It has 8 gigs of ram, and an i5 2400 processor clocking a 3.1ghz. It has a 500gb SATA drive at 7200 rpm. It does everything I need it to do, like running Chrome, Sublime Text, and Visual Studio. It runs Minecraft fine, which is one of my most favorite games. I just got BeamNG.Drive, only to figure out it runs really really slow… and I mean 4fps slow.

I think this is my third blog, so welcome. I chose Coding of the Cosmos since I am interested in space. If you want to see older posts see https://pufflegamerzstudios.wixsite.com/mysite-1

ScratchFormat is on the Chrome Web Store

Sat, 02 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

I have just released ScratchFormat to the Chrome Web Store. It should be up in a couple hours. I will change up the installation website soon.

No More Scratch Extensions

Thu, 30 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Well, this is a bummer. The Scratch Team just announced that they are going to delete all Scratch extension advertisements. This means the IsOnline account is gone, the @ScratchMoji account is gone, and all other scratch extensions are gone. (I had just started working on ScratchFormat at this point)

Coding ideas

Sat, 11 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Do you ever just sit there and stare at your screen thinking, “What am I going to do today?” Me too. As a result, I made a software idea generator. Download it here (For windows users only) https://pufflegamerz.github.io/projects/CodingIdea.hta

WebCraft

WebCraft is a second version of JScraft. You can break and place blocks. I am still working on it. https://pufflegamerz.github.io/webcraft/

I started to experiment with the Html5 canvas today. After some fliddling, I came up with a mini 2D terrarian generator. Here it is: https://pufflegamerzstudios.wixsite.com/mysite-1/single-post/2017/10/19/JScraft

Every Possible Command In Corescript

Tue, 10 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000

I have made a corescript program where I have put every single command there is in Corescript. You can see it here: https://corescript.neocities.org/editor/#var name=John@break@set name=Jimmy@break@print Hello, (name)!@break@// Hello!@break@input name=What’s your name?@break@cls@break@msg Hello!@break@goto 8@break@stop@break@if name=John@break@not name=John@break@play http://www.sample-videos.com/audio/mp3/crowd-cheering.mp3 ( Since Wix says it is not a valid url, you will just have to copy + paste it into your url bar ) Also, don’t try running it, since Corescript does not like every single command used at once.

Corescript

Mon, 09 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000

For the past couple of months, I have been working on Corescript. I have just released 7.1, which you can access here. I started Corescript about 7 Months ago. The GUI has changed a lot. This new update mainly includes bug fixes. P.S. I lost the password to my X10Hosting website, so I will be moving everything to Github.
