My 100 Days of Code Repository

Today once again continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, I finished the Advanced Sheet.

Today I started the layout for the standard PHB DnD 5e Character sheet. Tomorrow may have to be skipped – I have a band gig that is a long cancer benefit – that takes me for over 12 hours – so I may have to push day 15 to Sunday.

Until tomorrow!

My 100 Days of Code Repository

Today once again continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, I finished Page 1.

Today I finished the Advanced sheet (both page 2 and 3) so this sheet is complete. Tomorrow will start on the normal d&d sheet.

Until tomorrow!

My 100 Days of Code Repository

Today once again continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, I started in with Sheet 1 (see here). The filling out the PDF itself is the tedious part, as there isn’t much in the way of actual coding other than populate tuples with the Sheet’s field name, and the Field Value I want it to have.

I finished Page 1 today, and also found a bug in the sheet and reported it to the sheet’s author. Apparently he used the same field name for 2 check boxes – so if you activate 1, you get both!

Until tomorrow!

Today once again continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, I finished processing all of the xml nodes.

Today I started in with Sheet 1 (see here). The filling out the PDF itself is the tedious part, as there isn’t much in the way of actual coding other than populate tuples with the Sheet’s field name, and the Field Value I want it to have. I’ve completed several sections of page 1, and will finish page 1 tomorrow (hopefully!)

Until tomorrow!

My 100 Days of Code Repository

Today once again continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, I processed a bunch of other nodes, to the point where I only have 5 nodes left, but 2 of them are biggies as far as what I think will need to be done with them (skills, and weapons)

Today, I finished those nodes. So tomorrow starts the pdf population portion!

Until tomorrow!

Today once again continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, I worked through 5 nodes needed to be processed (features, hp, initiative, inventory and languages). So that completes 27 of 44!

My 100 Days of Code Repository

Today once again continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, was the redesign of defenses, encumbrance, and featlist nodes from the xml processing.

Today I worked through 5 nodes needed to be processed (features, hp, initiative, inventory and languages). So that completes 27 of 44! I was hoping to have more time to code today, but some other things came up that I needed to address… but I’m hoping I’ll get a few hours in tomorrow!

Until tomorrow!

My 100 Days of Code Repository

Today once again continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, was the redesign of abilities and coins.

Today I crossed off the defenses, encumbrance, and featlist nodes from the xml processing. Which means I’ve now processed 22 of the 44 nodes to be processed – so I’m half way done with the node processing (which in turn is half the process). Once the nodes are completed, I then will begin the pushing out said information to various PDFs.

That will complete stage 1 of the process. Stage 2 (which may occur during the 100 days of coding – or may not) will be setting this program up as a web app that anyone can use to process their xml into a standard pdf.

Until tomorrow!

My 100 Days of Code Repository

Today once again continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, I populated the ‘Info’ section and made some basic upgrades.

Today was the redesign of abilities – which for the record was much cleaner and simpler than the old way I had doing it. The old way had about 7 or 8 lines of code for each ability score, where as now, there is a 12 line function that handles it all. Also moved into coins as well.

Tomorrow I’m not sure what will be up – I’m going to try to get my coding in, but I also have a band gig (hence the musical part of MusicalCoder) which will take me from after work until after midnight… So Day 7 may end up being Saturday!

Until tomorrow!

My 100 Days of Code Repository

First – I bet these are boring!!! I understand, but these are mainly for my to use to personally track what I did (and since tweets are so limited, it seemed easier to write about what I did here, and then tweet the web url so others can read it, if they want!)

Today continued with the redesign (or restructure if you will) of the Fantasy Grounds XML to PDF Project I’m working on. Yesterday, I finished laying out and designing the character dictionary set with all the necessary fields.

Today, I populated the ‘Info’ section. First true upgrade went in. The first time I was designing this, I skipped the Multi-class option – just giving you a “Not currently supported” if a character was multi-classed… But no more… currently, it will print the shortcut names each class the character has levels in (using either 3 or 4 letters). So happy with that.

Tomorrow will be redesigning the ability processing!

Until tomorrow!
