today was day 1/10 of the last 10 days of the year, wow. got a lot done for carden! made some tweaks to card infra (switched from dicts to classes for storing card data), drew a much better farm sprite, and made cards actually do stuff!

did some pentesting on a vibe-coded site (the admin panel has no backend validation 💀) and made some nice infra for cards in my mini game! now it's much easier to add different kinds of cards with their own effects

didn't get much done today since i'm getting sick (again 😭) but I did work on a pi pico game engine (coded in rust!) i'm making. after that headed to a bday party, then did homework. also looked into how to start AoC day 7 and a secret project 👀

day 2 of AoC! part 1 was easy enough (but my solution took 30 seconds on a tower pc 😅) but part 2 has me rethink my strategy. regex to the rescue! part 2 solves in ~3s on the same machine which isn't terrible? also did more rustlings
