Alright, folks, let’s dive into this “herd that score” thing I’ve been messing with. I gotta say, it started kinda rough, but I think I finally cracked it.
The Initial Struggle
So, picture this: I had this idea, a vague notion of, like, collecting points or scores, and I wanted to do it in a way that felt… organic? I don’t know, I was just winging it at first. I started by throwing down some basic code, just to see what would stick. I fumbled around with different approaches, trying to find something that felt right.
Experimenting Like Crazy
- First, I tried a simple counter. You know, just increment a number every time something happened. Too basic. Didn’t capture the “herd” feeling I was going for.
- Then, I messed with arrays. Thinking maybe I could store individual scores and then add them up. It worked, but it felt clunky.
- I even dabbled with some weird data structures that I barely understood. That was a disaster. Let’s just say I spent a lot of time staring at error messages.
The Breakthrough (Finally!)
After all that trial and error, I finally stumbled upon something that clicked. Instead of focusing on individual scores, I shifted my thinking to groups. I started thinking about “herds” of points, and how they could move and grow together.
I start the process, thinking about points and getting numbers. I add some function.
Making it work!
So I whipped up a function that generated these “herds.” Each herd had a starting score and a size. Then, I created another function that would simulate the movement and growth of these herds. It was kinda like watching a bunch of digital sheep grazing in a field.
I add some feature to move each “herd”,and add another one function.
The End Result
It’s still a work in progress, but I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out. The “herds” move around, sometimes merging, sometimes splitting apart. The total score fluctuates, but it generally trends upwards. It’s kinda mesmerizing to watch, * all worked out and I get a final score!
I guess the moral of the story is, don’t be afraid to experiment and try different things. Even if you start off with a completely different idea, you might end up somewhere even better. And hey, even if it’s a mess at first, you can always clean it up later. Just keep at it, and you’ll eventually herd that score!
