DLD#14 featuring JSON Statham

Heyo, thanks to this post I can say it hasn't been a full year since my last DevLog, it's "only" been 364 days and 20 hours! Hehe... Anyway, while I'm here, I wanna give Moonsy a shout-out. That's my brother. We used to not get along. Now we do. And he's been very helpful over on our Discord server and I just want to give that some recognition :) Okay, enough sentimental nonsense, let's discuss :D

Having been witness to Adam's work on this for the past while now, every single time he has mentioned JSON, thanks to Moonsy, all I can think of is this - (Credit to photographer at bottom-right btw - Joe Maher, in case it's not too visible!) And this is also my gift to everyone else since this is now living rent-free in my head. Just realised, in case people don't know xD This is JaSON Statham, a prolific and successful actor! c:

Uhm.. I don't need any shoutouts I'm just sharing knowledge :')

can anyone explain in dummy terms

Username checks out? xD A good car needs a good engine. A good game needs a good engine too. He's building the engine from scratch rather than using a pre-built one and he's showing off 'the things it can do' for those interested in poking around.

how can we check our own profiles, if we're curious? where can we find the tokens we need, and what 8-digit hash(?) do we need to put in the "profileID" parameters? this is all very exciting btw, can't wait to see the final site!

as someone who's actually studying computer science at uni atm, i can only see very VERY good improvements so far! :D this is exactly what the game should look like and behave. which means a cleaner base and hopefully a cleaner game experience as well :3

:O The idea of plugins is so good! I might finally attempt to make one lol. Just a question, would plugins have to be in a set coding language? Also with my limited (I'm only in Year 9) knowledge of computer science, these sound like substantial improvements to the way it works!

When exactly do you expect this to come out? I'm looking forward to the PFQNext I'm just curious on when to expect it

It's a separate database so it really just has me on there right now - that's why my Party on there doesn't match my Party on here. So you can't check yours on the tester because it doesn't exist! Most likely just CSS and JS, though you're welcome to set up your own development environment to use LESS and TypeScript if you want! The plugin itself will just be CSS and JS though. I'm optimistic about getting things done, but can't make any promises. I want to say I'll be able to open it for a limited number of testers by the end of the year, but we'll see.
