+# 2021-08-13
+
+Today was the first day of #js13kgames competition.
+I actually managed to find the time to participate on the
+[kick-off event][kickoff] over Zoom. Now I want to have some ice cream
+(watch the video to understand). The [slides][slides] are available online.
+
+Next to plenty of resources (see below), I got to know some people of the
+community. I'm a bit disappointed, that the community uses Slack, as I
+outright refuse to join on that platform. Work made me realise, it's too much
+of a timesink for me. But I haven't shown up on Discord for months, so who am I
+to complain.
+
+## Today's achievement
+
+I set up my boilerplate repo:
+
+[commit diff 02320d1f41d51d84a890ed5846a091208080d6cb to 1e43390e0442b0d52991db5720d3e21560232ec6][diff]

+
+### Setup
+
+I used today to set up my repo with all the linters and quality gates and stuff
+I want to respect (perfectionism and so on). This way, I've get it out of my
+way and don't have to bother with it down the road.
+
+With the tools I learned about today, I might get around to replace parts of
+it. But that would be premature optimisation at this point.
+Speaking of tooling, here's a list of what I learned about today:
+
+- Inline everything (images can be turned into base64 or SVG)
+- Prototype early (on different devices)
+- Browse itch.io for assets
+- Don't neglect music and sound effects
+- Fun is more important than graphics
+- Get the build process right early on (zip and within limits)
+
+#### Tooling
+
+- [Squoosh][squoosh]
+- [Bits and Bites][bitsnbites]
+- [Sprite generator][sprites]
+- [ECT bin][bin]
+- [ZzFX][zzfx]
+- [ZzFXM][zzfxm]
+- [miniMusic][minimusic]
+- [MiniSoundEditor][minisoundeditor]
+- [CSSprite][cssprite]
+- [3Dmapeditor][3dmapeditor]
+- [CSS3Dframework][css3dframework]
+- [Emoji][emoji]
+- [Terser][terser]
+- [Gyro][gyro]
+- [Tinyfont][tinyfont]
+- [Efficient Compression Tool][ect]
+- [advancecomp][adv]
+- [Gute][gute]
+
+Many, MANY more are listed on [resources][resources].
+
+## Next steps
+
+Now that I have the boilerplate in place, I can make my head free to think
+about what to actually build. Here, I plan to keep a Game Design Document,
+since it provides me with a framework that I hope will help me think things
+through. Also, I bought some (paper) notebooks, to scribble things down.
+Sounds like that's something other game devs did in the past to great success.
+
+I plan to host this game on my own domain and use GitHub as a mirror.
+Sadly, the rules make me use GitHub. I can understand why, but it doesn't help
+me with getting away from this platform.
+
+This journal will help me as a guidance, so I can focus my Postmortem on
+actual challenges instead of trying to recapitulate, what I did the past 30
+days or so.
+
+I also read [Twitter][twitter] to see what others think about it.
+
+Since it is possible to submit more than one entry, I should also take a look
+at the categories and check, whether decentralised or server works for me.
+Those tend to be less crowded. Also, I wanted to try IPFS anyway
+(but GameDev.js Jam was too short-spanned for this).
+
+### Codewise
+
+- [ ] Optimise post-process script to remove references to stylesheets when
+  they got inlined.
+- [ ] Strip CSS of comments (but keep license banners).
+- [ ] Assume a browser that understands ES modules and tweak rollup accordingly
+- [ ] Minimise HTML
+
