My second blog - an update!

06 May 2025 - brainage04

An update to my first blog after several months.

A lot has happened since my last blog (which was over 6 months ago now):

1. Started freelance Minecraft mod development (2 projects, first one confidential, second one almost done)
2. Continued work on my Minecraft mods (existing ones such as BrainageHUD and new ones too)
3. Finally (FINALLY) ported my rendering code from BrainageHUD into a library for use in other mods (HudRendererLib)

University is quite boring but I'm doing well - I got a perfect score on my first assignment in my DSA unit!!! (30/30, 15 from the autograder and 15 from the report). I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten a perfect score on any assignments since my first semester. Was a welcome surprise.

I have another list of things I want to do:

1. Continue work on BrainageHUD and HudRendererLib (config and rendering code stores/does things in weird ways)
2. Learn about Android emulation (mostly cause I wanna use AstroDX on my PC lol)
3. Continue working on a basic MaiMai chart viewer/editor (with C# and Avalonia - not yet sure if this is a good choice of tooling lol)

Here are my previous blog's non-work related goals for references:

• Maimai: first 14 S rank (current best is ~96.5%, ~0.5% away)
• SDVX: first 17 pass
• DDR: first 17 AAA, first 18 AA+ (950k+)

Here's some updates for those:

• Maimai: countless 14 and 14+ S ranks (best 14 is ~100.2%, best 14+ is ~99.25%)
• SDVX: countless 17 passes (first 17 S!!!, at home), a 16 PUC!!! (at home), and several 18 AA+'s
• DDR: 3 17 AAA's, countless 18 AA+'s' (2 over 970k!!!), and 2 16 PFC's!!!

I also started taking Taiko more seriously, and have passed 2 Extreme 10* maps!!! I have also gotten 987k with 17 OK's on Supernova [Hard] 8*, which is one of my best accuracy scores (outside of my DFC on Rabbit Hole lol).

Thanks for taking the time to read my second blog!
