NicolasMelet's Builder Journey

[NicolasMelet]

Hey everyone !

My name is Nicolas and I am a third year french student in computer science.

I am part of the Epitech student program, and I like the C and C++ languages.
I am certainly not an expert in blockchain, but I'm eager to discover it along with Gno !

Follow this issue to know more about this journey of mine in the Gno world.

Hello everyone !

Here is a little update on my work at gno.land

I've started last thursday and I have been able to familiarize a bit with the gno language and the architecture of realms and pure packages. I have been able to create a basic home realm that implements the documentation's counter !

I am now currently working on a calculator realm that could perform more or less complex calculations !

The computation part is not ready yet, and I face a problem with Adena turning all non alphadecimal characters aside from '-' to their hexadecimal value.

I currently plan on implementing a binary tree for the computation part, in order to handle priorities the right way.

You can find my work on my repository for now:

I moved my work to a fork of the monorepo and added a pull request:

gnolang/gno#4084

[NicolasMelet]

Last week I aimed to correct a few bugs and to improve my calculator app.
And I am happy to say that all the features I originally wanted are now fully implemented !
I've taken into account negative values, parenthesis, and syntaxes that may be difficult to read normally
ex: 3+-4*(2/-2)

My pull request is now ready for review

[NicolasMelet]

This week I've helped to work on the review I received on my calculator pull request.
Now we're going to work on a new realm inspired by the famous r/place with Chaegnal and louonezime !

[NicolasMelet]

Last week I've worked on the r/place realm, I've implemented clickable svg square to choose the color of a pixel and I should be able to use the svg package now that it is merged.

I have also watched my calculator pr to help fix issues if there happen to be some.

Our r/place realm is not yet on a draft pr, but the main branch for it can be found here

Lou Eva and myself work on different branch and different features that we merge in this main branch

[NicolasMelet]

This week we've been able to continue the r/place realm with @Chaegnal and @louonezime.

We curently have an an issue about markdown images that blocks links in svg images, but we have found a temporary solution with one table to select a pixel to change, and one table to display all the pixels. The first table will disapear as soon as we are able to click on a specific part of a svg to redirect somewhere.

In term of functionnality, the base concept now works but some adjustments can still be made to improve the user experience

[NicolasMelet]

Hey everyone !

Last week we once again added some adjustments on the r/place realm, including some slight optimizations.
We have received comments on the r/place that we are currently looking into.

I have also received some comments on my calculator app about url encoding, and I am trying to make it so that '+' can be directly used without having to substitute it for 'p'.

I have also seen many comments about CI, I assumed until now the CI problems where because there need to be a review but it seems this wasn't the only issue there was, so I'll be looking at this too.

[NicolasMelet]

Hi !

This week I've been able to finally understand the CI problems I have encountered until now and fix them.
Both the r/place and calculator realm are fixed and waiting for a review, with a slight issue on the calculator side regarding the '+' symbol. When I looked into it, it seemed like this issue was directly linked to the way gnoland works as the '+' symbol is encoded to '%2B' as it should, but it then turns into a space symbol, as if it was converted to '+' and then to ' '.

I am now thinking about a new realm I could create

[NicolasMelet]

Hello everyone !

This week the calculator realm got all the fixes previously requested completed !

I have been watching for new comments or both the r/place pull request and the calculator pull request, and searching for new dapps ideas.
For this week, we will start to implement a new front for the r/place realm with @Chaegnal outside of gno, with its back still in gnoland. We'll take inspiration from the memeland realm for this (https://github.com/gnoverse/memeland).

[NicolasMelet]

Hey all !

This week I have spent most of my time trying to understand the memeland repo in order to create a front for r/place in the same way. I am not sure yet of the structure this front needs to have (a whole other repository forked from the r/place branch ?)
I have also been looking at my other pull requests as usually, and I think they are ready for a last review / a merge
calculator pr
base r/place pr

[NicolasMelet]

Hi !
This week the calculator realm has been officially merged !
There are still some comments to handle for the base r/place pr but dealing with them shouldn't be too long.
And I now have a repository for the r/place custom front
at the time this is just a basic hello world nest app but it will soon be able to connect to the r/place realm and to display it in a fancy way ! :D

[NicolasMelet]

Greetings

I have handled the r/place comments this week, and made some tests on the svg part.
I plan to make more tests today if possible.
I couldn't work on the custom r/place front yet due to a computer issue I had to fix which took me a bit of time, I'm also planning to work on this this week !

[NicolasMelet]

Hi !
This week I have been able to finish my tests for the place realm. gnolang/gno@674fbad
I have also worked on my internship report since the limit date is approaching for it.
This week I'd like to work on the custom front for the place realm and finish my report.
