Another One Bites the Dust

The thing about trying new things...

... is that sometimes we fail. I spent 2 hours this morning before writing this post trying to figure out how to import a game I made in my second CS course (Space Invaders) into a post I make on here as the "new thing" I try. I was trying to watch a tutorial online and read some walkthroughs but the furthest I got was importing my github repo url into my eclipse environment and then I tried to share my project with the github repo but it said that there was a clash with the '.project' that was already in the folder I was trying to share my 'test' project into? Anyway, I tried a couple of things, I feel like it would have worked if I went down my thought path, but then I would've had to figure out how to actually 'call' my project from my new repo into this post. I'll try taking a smaller step today and maybe trying to take that bigger step some other day.

On another note, I was looking at the course registration website that my uni implemented and taking a peek at the source code (like right click then inspect/source code) and man compared to another uni's website design, it feels like I can fiddle around with the html and css/js and make our uni's website a little more attractive. It feels so cool being able to look at a website's source code and (sort of) understand what went in to make it look the way it does.

But I also have another project/goal in mind, if I get to tinker with the uni's course reg. UI, then I want to also implement an algorithm to help students pick the best schedule for their semester (a schedule planner). I want it to be able to look at the up to 6 courses (crazy engineering students) that a student would take, and present a schedule optimized for:

1. Early start/early end
2. Late start/late end
3. Shortest time at school
4. Most time-effective for students with jobs during the school week (plus best transit times as well if possible)

I feel like this would be such a cool thing to contribute to the school and give some practice to students without too much practical experience (besides school projects) with coding.

welp, this would've been the place to embed my game, but since it's for another time...

so this effect only works in chrome desktop browser? unless I'm forgetting to do something?...
