I'm working on a game where I'm able to create sand, around water using webGL, and this is the area in www.busydreaming.com that I wasn't able to manage until FABLE. Fable is the LLM that was available for a few days before the GOV told anthropic they have to shut it off for foreign people which is a big part of their company. In my opinion, government intervention should have happened a long time ago, however just getting involved when one LLM company is doing good does seem suspect for the current state of the news.

Besides the politics, 3k lines of code, and I have the best ocean and sand driving game I've ever seen on the web. How it did this in about 3k lines of code is beyond me. I've been studying the files and I'm really impressed by how compressed the logic appears to be. Fable created this driving game, and today I've been using opus 4.8 ultracode to add suspension and even custom GLB/OBJ additions.

Things are coming through a bit scrambled, to be expected, this wasn't fable helping me! I'm hijacking what fable created, and using genAI to create everything. So far it's coming along, suspension was a big deal, lucky to get opus doing independent suspension per wheel. That's a cool feature, looks great, will take some tweaking to feel amazing..

omg tire tracks

The tire tracks really make this game fun, and I'm hopeful to see multiplayer come together too. The sand physics are amazing. Fable did a great job. The tire marks... I can't get enough... it makes the game feel great to just drive, explore, loop around, repeat and I love the idea of drawing on sand, even the family enjoyed doing it, from 4 to 40. The sand slowly heals itself over time too. Imagine a few friends zipping around the dunes in these bad boys.

Lately, tweaking the per wheel suspension, and gravity/jump abilities. It's a lot of fun. Nearly there.

Getting the texture right, it was reversed?

Texture was in reverse, weird because older models never had this issue. Now that I have that figured out, I'm seeing more matchy matchy results.

Everyone has been talking about Fable. So I put it up to the test. How far are you with water. Well, I'm floored. 1 prompt and I have an entire ocean. This looks so much better than my previous attempts to do water. Excited to explore more. Did this from scratch.

After further inspection, I learned that the ocean was simply copy pasted from shadertoys.com, which is a pretty exciting discovery because I’ve never seen this website before and know that Web GL is rather complex

I'm a huge baby about going to the dentist, however today was a good day. I'm still alive. BJJ or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has made me a lot harder to these kinds of situations. Toughened me up for the occasion. BJJ is a self defense material art that I'm pursuing right now, taking privates from masters of the art, and sparing with them too. My last sparing session ended in me breaking my tooth, going to the dentist to get it removed, and today was getting a temporary crown placed. Still my mouth is numb, but it's coming back. Faint pain. However, I'm comfortable. This used to really drain me, however BJJ has just made me a lot more water than I ever expected. It's cool to see, off the mats, how bjj has helped me. Dentist work has always been a big fear for me, growing up had a lot of surgery in my mouth, braces, a spacer, and just never caught a good break. Glad to be able to face the fear today, with just a little gas!

Organizing your technology, each individual complexity plugged together, some more important than others, some require more juice, but all plugged into one strip. Imagine then having to rebuild that for every client engagement, that's an issue I found myself facing in my business dev3lop.com.

While building technology, I realized nearly every client needs the same situation. Fast website they can edit. They don't exactly what wix, squarespace, etc. but instead they want something a little different. j7.is lets you stream what you're writing to people you're editing with or just your following, as well as manages a ton of tech like your heat mapping, contact forms, and split testing. You can white label, and there's no strange walls/restrictions.

j7.is is the wedge I'm building that has every possible GTM/blogging/digital tool I can think of under one minimal hood. like short links, enabling fast action access to data enriched clicks to avoid sending large links to people and not being able to track anything. j7.is is enabling me to help clients, myself, and business ideas flourish without all the extra tech. collect vanity domain, build your fort, create contact pages, and improve digital workflows. Make a portfolio that isn't full of advertisements. lets go.

When it comes to BJJ, I'm learning the sloth is my favorite focus, and it's something I'm learning to master in life. Being 100% intense about everything, has it helped you? Maybe 20% would do. Save your energy for a big fight. Try less.

While I'm healing from a knee to the face, and preparing for a dental visit/bill. I'm taking on the role of the sloth. It's time to relax for a second. Heal.

The sloth at work..

I'm used to being hyper focused, slaying dragons fast, but found a lot of this is energy wasted. The sloth has time to think, strategic with efforts, and not a spaz. It's conserving energy for the right time.

Healing like a sloth

I've been waking up at 430am, working until 6am, BJJ until 8am, and getting injured nearly daily. I need more rest. Each day I'm taking naps, and sleeping in as much as I can fight the urge to wake up and fight. It's been difficult to not pour time into heavy bag or finding time to go to BJJ. Just need to heal, taking a knee to the face slowed me down, need to get that fixed and get a mouth guard to manage the future bumps.
