Welcome to the very first [Primoprod](https://primoprod.eggworld.me) progress report! In a similar vein to quite a few open source emulation projects (such as those I follow myself using [emufeed](https://github.com/potatoeggy/emufeed/blob/master/sources.py)), I'll be releasing these tidbits in lieu of daily Unstagnation shorts sometimes.

What is Primoprod? Short for "Productivity Primogems", it was born when I noticed that the gacha system employed by games such as *Genshin Impact* could be incredibly addictive, so I decided to see if I could take advantage of it to boost my productivity and at the same time try to learn web development. What is Primoprod? Short for "Productivity Primogems", it was born when I noticed that the gacha system employed by games such as _Genshin Impact_ could be incredibly addictive, so I decided to see if I could take advantage of it to boost my productivity and at the same time try to learn web development.
The basic premise was to assign a given point value for each productive task and be able to spend those points on something or have them progress toward a milestone, so that productive tasks would be incentivised. The aforementioned gacha games and Uber use this to great effect, so I decided to emulate the Wish UI of [*Genshin Impact*](https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en).

And so the project began! I decided to work with Vue.js because of its gentler learning curve compared to Angular and more traditional HTML/CSS/JS separation compared to React. You can tell when I became more comfortable in using Vue's declarative system in the later components compared to, say, [`App.vue`](https://github.com/potatoeggy/primoprod/blob/master/src/App.vue).

Luckily, I didn't have to make any of these decisions because Vue's [CLI](https://cli.vuejs.org/) gives you a list of sane defaults that you can pick from, and since I was learning for the future, I went with the first option of Vue 3 + Typescript. `vue-cli` even nicely [initialised a git repo for me](https://github.com/potatoeggy/primoprod/commit/9b7d7841806c905e8f580f98d1c95d4732178810)!

At the time, coming from Python/Java, I opted in to the class components plugin hoping it made it easier to develop for, but later removed it due to a lack of documentation with it for Vue 3. Occasional downsides of newer technologies ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯.

Although I had read up on [MDN's](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/) fantastic tutorials/documentation a fair bit and used flexboxes and `rem` everywhere, I apparently did not catch `box-sizing: border-box` and the margins and padding just did not arrange themselves how they should have.

Pretty good, right? Now, the design still isn't adaptive enough *since things get cut off for who knows why I thought flexboxes were supposed to solve all this* but for the most part it looks good enough. It appears I'll have to make a lot of exceptions for mobile devices… Pretty good, right?

Now that `ItemRevealScreen` is *done and over with and will not need any changes*, before making myself work on the equally fun part of the project that is `ItemRevealAllOverlay`, I opted for a break in `ItemObtainScreen` and `ItemDescriptionOverlay` and a one-week hiatus.

And they were easy! Easy and fun. It was blissful to be working with structured HTML and CSS again, and the animation pains there were *nothing* compared to the trauma of `ItemRevealScreen`.

In fact, I consider those two to be 100% done unless I can find a way to apply a border that looks exactly like the original game's that isn't an image.
