I’ve made the choice to use my Raspberry Pi as the server instead of the PS3. If I’m going to be using this to start getting into more mainstream languages (I mean as opposed to TI-BASIC, for example) I shouldn’t start with something as obscure as PS3 homebrew.

I still cannot decide what language to use though. I am already familiar with C++, from experience programming my Arduino. But I also feel that Python is the way to go, because I’ve seen .py scripts waaaay more often than .cc
Most my friends are more familiar with Python as well, so I think I might learn that.

You know, like Siri or Alexa. Something that integrates with all my devices, and all my accounts. I could have the central AI run on my jailbroken PS3 maybe? It does have the PlayStation Eye, which has a 4 mic array. It does also have the ability to stay connected to the internet even when ‘powered off’.

Stuff I’d like it to do, if I did make it:

• Play music (from Spotify and my personal server)
• Access my calendars, syncing them all together as well
• Talk to me, when I’m bored, and minigames too
• Built-in sleep tracker

I’ll actually start working on that right now!
Depending on how big this project ends up being I might give it it’s own page here on my blog.

So today is the day that I decided to (finally) make the sleep tracking program I’ve wanted for a very very long time. The issue, is that while Visual Studio was installing, my dad shut down the computer. He wasn’t aware that it was installing something, so I don’t blame him. However the computer is now stuck in a frozen boot sequence, which means all progress I’ve ever made in all my games, all my code, all my songs, everything is just gone now. Although I guess I can plug the hard drive into another functioning computer and recover the files that way. But I’ll still end up needing to reinstall Windows, and therefore all my programs as well. *sigh*

In other news, I got the idea to recreate “The Eye of Judgement”, a PS3 game that is almost as old as the console itself. The game is similar to Magic The Gathering, however TEoJ uses a 3×3 grid for play. The cards are still sorted into land, spells, and creatures, but the spells and creatures are made to only affect certain tiles depending on where they are placed and which direction they are facing. My plan is to release the software as free and open source. Playing the game would be similar to a MTG spinoff called “Wagic: The Homebrew”. Wagic is free to play, and anyone can contribute.
