Answering Questions About Tectra

4/9/2019

 
Hello everybody! I didn’t know what to post on the Tectra Blog today, so I guess I’ll just answer some questions that you might have.
Why is everything on this website free?
You might not realize this, but running Tectra isn’t my job. Tectra is just a fun thing I do in my free time. I don’t care if I make money from it, I just want other people to enjoy what I create.

What IDE do you use for developing Tectra programs?
I currently use Visual Studio Express 2017 to make Tectra programs.

How much time do you put into Tectra?
It depends. Most weeks I spend 5 or 6 hours working on Tectra stuff.

What’s your favorite program to work on?
While I enjoy working on all of my programs, I’d have to say that Lynx is my favorite. I really enjoy finding ways to improve it.

That’s all the questions I could think of. If you have any unanswered questions, please comment them below. I hope you enjoyed this post!

Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...
