Show captions January 2 Wow January 5 National Museum of Korea The view of Namsan is a work of art Heehee, neigh! I wanted dan dan noodles Hell Cafe Spiritus January 8 January 9 Leeum Museum of Art — see my post . After looking around, we debated whether to have beef noodle soup or handmade burgers nearby for dinner. We ended up going for the noodles. The noodle place was in the Michelin Guide, while the burger place was one a friend had mentioned before. How often do you get to try a Michelin-listed restaurant, though? I can try Downtowner next time I go to Jamsil. This was my first meal since brunch at 10, so I didn't take any photos. I was too busy eating. Quite a few KakaoMap reviews said the place was disappointing given its Michelin listing, but I thought it was delicious. The portions were pretty small, though. The two of us ordered beef noodle soup, dan dan noodles, and chaofan, and it barely made a dent in our hunger. I know I eat a lot, but still. Next time, we'll order one or two of those dishes in a larger size, or just order four dishes outright. After stuffing ourselves with noodles, we bought donuts too. Old Ferry Donut is apparently quite famous. They were good, but I'm not sure they were famous-level good. Mine was slathered in peanut butter. The dan dan noodles had loads of peanuts too, but honestly, even better... January 10 I started going to the sports center near my house for open swim. I'm planning to keep going every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Lately I've really felt how much my stamina has dropped because of COVID. I should've started as soon as the semester ended and I got home. But it's Thursday as I'm writing this, and my arms are sore, so I'm not sure I'll make it tomorrow. The first snow of the year, as far as I'm concerned January 13 Started binge-watching <Our Beloved Summer>! January 14 Let's paint the house Looks like a potato, tastes like a potato January 15 Give me my burger January 16 I'm terrible at taking food photos January 18 National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art — see my post . My hair keeps breaking its all-time length record As you'll know if you read the post, I expected to spend two or three hours there but came out after just one. I had time to kill before dinner, so I thought I'd walk around Gyeongbokgung Palace across the street, but it happened to be closed today too. I ended up watching some Our Beloved Summer at Starbucks before heading off. Not my luckiest day. I'm terrible at taking food photos (2) January 22 Finally tried Downtowner ! The avocado burger at the front is mine Right after my friend told me they'd saved up their paychecks to buy a Lego car, there one was at the café → Daejeon January 23 Just thought it was cute while watching YouTube Discovered another Middle Eastern restaurant after Alibaba Treasures January 24 Tonkatsu 🐟 January 25 Italian food Snail ssambap + a brown cheese croffle for dessert Finished <Our Beloved Summer> as the finale aired.

Around the start of the fall semester, I suddenly became interested in computer graphics. I had a vague idea that objects were represented as triangular surfaces and that each triangle was projected onto a plane to determine which pixels to display. But I knew nothing about the geometry required for projection, or about textures and lighting. While looking for a resource that would help me learn these things as I built a graphics engine myself, I came across a YouTube tutorial that seemed perfect. It used no graphics libraries such as OpenGL; its only interface to the computer screen was a function that printed a character corresponding to an individual pixel at a specified position. The tutorial had four parts, covering everything from basic projective geometry to textures. It was exactly the guide I wanted, with one problem: the pixel-printing function belonged to the Windows console API and worked only on Windows. Since I use a MacBook, I needed to find a replacement. Xcode might have let me develop a console application with similar functionality, but with the semester about to begin, I wasn't up for digging into a new development tool. So I put the project on hold. This week, after the semester ended, I returned to the project. Sitting down to work on it again gave me a new goal: this time, I would build a graphics engine using only what I already knew, without consulting any outside resources. Understanding the principles mattered more to me than optimizing performance, so I chose Python, which would let me turn ideas into code quickly. To draw pixels, I could simply create and manipulate a two-dimensional array of characters large enough to fill the console, then print it. I got straight to coding. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 from time import sleep, time class XY: def __init__( self , x, y): self .x = x self .y = y WIDTH, HEIGHT = 100 , 30 SCREEN_BASE = [[ ' ' for _ in range (WIDTH)] for _ in range (HEIGHT)] SCREEN = SCREEN_BASE.copy() def clear(): SCREEN = SCREEN_BASE.copy() def fill(xy): SCREEN[HEIGHT - 1 - xy.y][xy.x] = '▇' def render(pixels): clear() for pixel in pixels: fill(pixel) output = ' ' .join( '' .join(col for col in row) for row in SCREEN) print (output) <div sty
