An Interactive Guide to SVG Paths • Josh W. Comeau SVG gives us many different primitives to work with, but by far the most powerful is the <path> element. Unfortunately, it’s also the most inscrutable, with its compact Regex-style syntax. In this tut...

✨ I just published a brand-new post! It’s about the notorious SVG <path> element.

With its compact Regex-style syntax, <path> can be super intimidating. But they’re also *incredibly* powerful, letting us draw (and animate!) curved lines.

You can read it here, and I’ll share more info in thread. 🧵

This was my favorite game from all the ones I tried, great job! The mechanics are really flexible and easy to use, and the UI fits in really well.

Although sometimes it's hard to come up with a favorite album on the spot, would a good impression suffice?

Thanks, Dave! You gave me the name idea!

Working on a logbook concept for my logic puzzle game, ZebraTables. This can give players additional context for clues they are unfamiliar with. Did you know that it ain't a corndog if it ain't on a stick?

Yeah - I already have my domains on Route53 and some other S3 config, but it was a nice learning exercise for me. They have a new service "AWS Amplify" which is specifically for deploying static sites - I had some issues and skipped it for now.

I finally hooked up a CI/CD pipeline for a personal project. I can push iterative changes to GitHub pages thyancey.github.io/zebratables/, or use GitHub releases to push baked builds to my AWS hosted zebratables.com!
