Greetings,
So uh in my last post I said that I would be doing something much bigger the following week. But sometimes life happens and you are not able to do things when you expect them and 2 weeks pass and you haven't created some good contributions. To remedy this issue I have opted create create those contributions and this week blog about each of them now.
The first contribution I would like to talk about was in relation to an issue on the Codethesaur project which aims to be a dictionary between different languages. The owner was looking for some assistance with adding Kotlin to the dictionary.
I've always wanted to learn Kotlin so I took the chance and requested to be assigned an issue describing the various builtin operators in the language. Using the language documentation and playground I was able to learn the operators and describe them into a JSON file which I contributed.
During the PR process I learned a bit about automated testing, as the project had several. It turns out I was failing a docker test even though I had not touched any docker related code. I spent good amount of time trying to fix what I thought I had broken. It turns out one of the project dependencies needed an update. So the PR could be accepted with little change.
The next post will be about game development!
