Archived Blog: Knights of the Compiler


[]

Here’s my old Knights of the Compiler blog. I posted on it from December
2012 until October 2013. It mostly contains a little bit of
documentation of a few small games I made that year, and some (possibly
drunk) rambling here and there. It’s not much, but I remember having fun
pushing myself to document the process of game development a bit, and
also appreciated the feeling of having accomplished something when a
post was finished and visible online.

I also enjoyed exploring how black-and-white I could get the website
theme to look. Funnily enough that’s still the colorscheme I gravitate
towards for most of my projects. It’s only since a year or two that I’m
actually aware of my habit of preferring monochrome markups. A peer of
mine once called it “newspaper style”, which I don’t find very accurate
since I associate newspapers with black on grey or black on beige.
Still, it has a nice ring to it, and it is generally how I mentally
categorize this family of styles now.

As the blog was WordPress based, there was also a comment section. I
rarely got any feedback, but I remember getting a comment once or twice
from kind individuals somehow stumbling upon my blog. Chances are I had
just sent them an unsolicited link to my blog via a group chat; I don’t
remember. Still, at the time I really appreciated those small but
meaningful comments. Thanks for that.

The script I braincoded to turn the wordpress posts and pages into a
more useful Markdown folder hierarchy might be useful for others. Though
the output still needs some manual work to get the output in a pure
Markdown state. I wrote about it in a blog post.
