Thinking about using the pixi.js library for 2D rendering.

For some reason bitwise operators kinda “clicked” for me just now, so I was going off on some weird ass tangent to figure out how to populate the stickfigure class with default values for missing data using bitwise operators to save a few bytes of memory and look smart by using overly complicated syntax,

but then I remembered that there’s a different pattern that doesn’t use any variables, is more concise, and still makes me look smart with slightly less complicated (but subjectively still overly complicated) syntax (using the ternary operator):

I can now pass the Stickfigure constructor an object of any available data when instantiating it, and any missing data will be filled in with default values.

yes, that’s all the code I’ve written so far today xd

I can’t spend too much time on Open Nodes today, but I’ll at least get started with item 1 on my tentative short term roadmap: “Create Stickfigure class”.

The class should hold all stickfigure properties (version, scale, nodes/node properties, polyfills, etc)

It should also have a render method to draw itself to the canvas.

And then maybe some helper methods (idk yet if they’re necessary)

I’ll update y’all regardless of whether I succeed to create the class or get sidetracked by something else.
