3rd December 2020
It's nothing massive, but I did at least start a project, yesterday.

-=-=-

I spotted someone on Twitter posting a horrible gnatty old Testcard image with their avatar hastily plonked in the middle, and thought to myself..
"You know.. A lot of people would kill for a decent Testcard generator, that renders nice and crisp hi-resolution Testcard images...."

So, that's what I started.

Copy+pasting most of the Browsercade Engine code, I thought I might've managed to get most of it up and running within a few short hours, but as always, complications arose. Most notably, trying to get the four triangles in the corner to work properly.
I had to recode a chunk of my triangle drawing code, I finally got the four triangles to work properly, but by then I was mentally shattered.
So much for "an easy job".

Ugh.

Today I'll continue to work on that.
The grid is working, the triangles, too. Now it's time to try and get crisp and clean lines all over the testcard, and we know how tricky that can be, when Javascript gets in the way!!!
