Greetings fellow programmers, I am here to update you all about the latest changes happening in my project, "DeadLock".
Today was totally different from the gloominess of yesterday. I had made my mind to completely revamp my project structure cause of the failure of compiler and CMake in finding my libraries and source files. Till today, anything that was pushed to the repo was never built by CMake (Yeah that's concerning, but what could have I done?). It was constantly showing me errors that it wasn't able to find my source files, but today I went through their documentation WITHOUT any help from external sources except for the "find" feature on MS Edge (it's pretty cool). I did manage to find out some of the useful variables out of it like CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR and -DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN which define the current CMake directory and debloat your app respectively.
Till today the only part I allowed any AI to touch was the github workflow that you all know how it ended, but today I let the github copilot in its agent mode to make changes to my project. I basically asked it to implement the package downloading functionality that's required for a project manager and funnily enough it managed to do so but by running python -m pip install {package-name} in the terminal 😂
Anyways, with the project building and my exams nearing, I am confident that this project will be over soon, at this rate, most probably next week.
Also, if anyone was following my project recently noticed, I promised about documentation with Doxygen but never tried doing it and I have reserved it as a task to be done at last, before that I have to achieve the package downloading functionality and hopefully set up the github workflows correctly so I could ship a release soon for all of you.
Till then take care and beware! 🫡
