Back to Blogger

 Five years ago (as of 8 days from now) I left Blogger to move my blog posts to the Tadukoo and Tadukooverse github sites ( tadukoo.github.io and tadukooverse.github.io respectively, see this old blog post ). Since then, I've decided that it makes more sense to use an actual blog site for a blog, but I do like the split of Tadukoo vs. Tadukooverse. It was a weird time over there with comments requiring a github account. Instead I'll move the current contents of the Tadukoo blog back here, and the Tadukooverse ones to a new blog, Echoes from the Tadukooverse . I'll update the github sites to link to the respective blogs then instead of having blog content on them. Note if you see this soon enough, I wrote this before transferring the contents to blogger, so you can see this here before the actual transfer of posts happens.

Tadukoo Bible Update 8/22/2020

 I've moved the information for Tadukoo Bible to the Tadukoo GitHub site finally (it used to be on my wiki - which includes a bunch of stuff I've done, and some more of that will likely move over here in the future, but not all of it). From now on, this site will be the main place for Tadukoo Bible information (specifically from its project page ). Tadukoo Bible has been on a bit of a hiatus for a long time now, mainly due to college and other projects taking priority over the past several years for me. Last I touched it, I was trying to convert it into a general thing instead of just a Bukkit plugin, and trying to make a generic Minecraft API, and changing it to download verses from BibleHub to use instead of me having to setup the verse files by copy-paste (like I did for the King James Version back in the day). The general conversion and Minecraft API didn't get very far, but I do have working code to download from BibleHub (it's just not in the plugin itself). I st...

The Story Behind Tadukoo Bible

  Note: This is being copied from the old wiki where I used to hold the information for Tadukoo Bible . It was written years ago as a standalone page for Tadukoo Bible, but to me seems more like it belongs as a blog post now. It will likely be updated as time goes on if I desire (like it has been in the past), but right now I'm just copying it. Original Story Tadukoo Bible is part of the Tadukoo Bible Project. The story of the Tadukoo Bible Project started on July 19, 2013. I (Tadukoo) have been a Christian, and I realized I couldn't think of any Bukkit plugins that were Christian related. I did some research, and the closest thing was SimpleJesus, which was outdated at the time (it might still be), and it basically just made it so you could throw a snowball that would turn into a burning cow and heal yourself and others. I then realized I couldn't think of any Minecraft mods that were Christian related either. I looked for some, and only found one, and it wasn't compl...

Worldbuilding: Old Maps

Image
 Since this is the first post in the "Worldbuilding series", I'll be explaining a little bit about that now. Over the years, there have been a bunch of video games I've wanted to make. It ranges from typical RPGs, to Super Smash Bros. clones, to Pokemon-type games, to 1000 Blank White Cards, and more. I was more into the story of games (which is why I liked Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary), so most of my games involve worldbuilding. The worldbuilding I did ranges from game to game, as some I wrote more story and others I drew more maps, etc. A friend of mine and I got to talking about maps recently and how he had made a fantasy map for his own worldbuilding project in the past. I remembered that years ago, I was drawing my own map of a Pokemon based world (with fake Pokemon I had made up for it). Now this map went through a lot, because I was playing with it, and imagining the history happening with whatever toys I had at the time. So this map is old, ...

I'm Leaving Blogger (Old)

This post is old, I've since moved back to blogger (see this post ).  Once the blog posts are back, I'll be updating the links here to point to their new locations. As of today, I'm officially leaving Blogger. I'm taking all my posts with me too. I've setup two websites for my future blogging and programming projects, and all my posts from here will be available on one of those websites moving forward. The first website is my personal website, https://tadukoo.github.io - On it, I'll be posting about my personal projects as well as any random posts I feel like posting. Most of my posts from here will be moving to this site, as most of my posts were about personal projects and random posts. This website is early in development, but it will ultimately include many details about me and what I'm working on. The other website is for my new open source GitHub organization I'm started called Tadukooverse. The website is https://tadukooverse.github.io  - On it, ...

Welcome to My Blog (GitHub Blog)

Note: This post was made on tadukoo.github.io originally, when I was hosting my personal blog there after leaving Blogger in the past . But I've since returned  and so this post is outdated. I do still have the 2 github sites mentioned, but there isn't blog content on them anymore. Today I uploaded all of my old blogger posts to either the Tadukoo GitHub site or https://tadukooverse.github.io (my new open source organization's website). The posts moved to that website relate to projects that I plan to transfer to that organization soon (Tadukoo Util, Tadukoo Engine/Launcher, and Tadukoo Bible Project).  The posts I've transferred here either don't deal with programming projects at all, or they deal with personal projects I have no current plans of transferring at the moment. This site will maintain my own personal blog for me to make random posts if I want and post about personal projects, while the other website will host blog posts about tutorials and my open so...

A Whole New Year, A Dazzling Time I'll Try to Use

 Just like last year , I have new plans with the coming of the New Year. This year, I won't be posting the new plans in the same format as last year (because frankly it was a terrible format, but to be fair it made sense for the amount of plans). One thing I want to do is to start following a yearly Bible reading plan (specifically this one on Bible Gateway ). It is designed for you to read the Old Testament once and the New Testament 3 times in a year. Another thing I'll be doing is following the 30 Days of Hustle by Jon Acuff for January. My current idea for what to hustle on with it is writing a book discussing various arguments for the existence of God, what atheists have to say about the arguments, and responses to the atheists. Whether that's what I actually do for the 30 days or not, we'll see. For YouTube, I'm planning to switch to a twice a week upload schedule, uploading a Minecraft w/ 3/2 Blockheads episode every Thursday and another video every Tuesday. ...
