Caps Cleaner - Devlog 002 - Flowchart

 Caps Cleaner - Devlog 002 - Flowchart

By A.A. Lopez

    Because I want to get as much out as possible this Sunday as I wait to go see a live D&D show at the Hollywood Bowl, here is the .v1 flowchart of the original Caps Cleaner idea.

 As you can see it's fairly straight forward. VTT files are uploaded to the Caps Cleaner and it begins it process according to its Caps Rules functions:

  1. Switch all instances of AllCaps to MixedCase. And while it is not the outcome that we want right away it gets us to what we need.
  2. Follow Proper Noun rules. Based on a list of Proper Nouns found in the English language (using that as my starting point) all instances will be changed from "tim" to "Tim" and so forth.
    Minor Issue: Found that some Proper Nouns are also nouns and verbs as well, will need to adjust parameters. (Ex: Will, Hope, Faith)
  3. Ignore all instances of Acronyms (FBI, CIA, USA), Roman Numerals (II, III, IV, V, IX, X, L, C, M), and other issue types similar.
  4. Follow the rules of punctuation and text blocks in the case of a sentence being separated into two
    Once these actions are complete the new file will be updated, ends the program, and sends the newly formatted file to the selected output folder with the new name of the file including a "_v2" or an increasing number if more instances, issues are found.

    It still needs quite a bit of work, and I can already see some things I would like to bring in to this to advance it, but this is the simplest idea so far.

Start of Week - Update 009

 Start of Week - Update 009 By A.A. Lopez     Let's see, it's been... 2 weeks since the last update. Not bad for me; usually, the break is 3. But let's see where we're at, what we're trying to do, and if there's anything upcoming for this week.     Honestly, I've put a lot of my projects off to the side for the past week or so due to the RTO order that came in a few weeks ago, along with layoffs looming overhead. So I've just been letting myself have the time to breathe and have room. Though I am keeping up with streaming every Friday at 7 PM, with different ideas for each stream. Last week's was focused on creating vector art with a real-life photo; it came out incredibly creepy, so I deleted it after the stream.     But I am feeling the need to get back to at least trying to focus on my creative projects again. I can't let these things just go to the wayside. I want to do them all, I just really need to find a way to organize myself better. At ...

End of Week Update - 008

End of Week Update - 008 By A.A.Lopez     You know, I tend to start each of these EoW updates with "Oh, I'm so tired," or "That was a long week." Just things to those effects, but seriously, I feel like this past week was much too much. Not going to get too much into it cause a lot of it deals with NDA stuff, but gods, I need a way off the rollercoaster.     But let's not focus too much on the week and focus on the accomplishments that happened!     Biggest thing, had my first stream this past Friday, as well as a second one on Saturday. You can see that it resulted in two art pieces, "pieces", they were sketches, and the stream got away from me a bit. Yet, I think I learned a lot from my time doing it. From how to use OBS to trying to be a good host. Was I excellent? No. Did I have a lot of viewers? No. Was it fun and worth leaning into and learning? Yes. So I think I will continue on this path for just a bit longer.     Of course, I should also ...
