About Me 🚀

My journey into the world of technology began at an early age. At 10, I was introduced to my first computer, marking the start of my fascination with software and its limitless possibilities. This curiosity wasn't just about playing games; it was about understanding and eventually manipulating the digital world around me. 🌐

Early Explorations 🔍

My initial foray into programming began with a desire to understand how online gamers manipulated games. This curiosity led me to learn C++ and .NET technologies. My first projects were simple—combining code snippets from the internet to alter game mechanics. Although rudimentary, these projects laid the foundation for my understanding of software development.

Continuous Learning 📚

Since writing my first program, I've learned every common programming language through thousands of experiments and small projects. Each project, even those that ended up in the trash, significantly deepened my understanding of programming.

Professional Challenges 💼

During my "Ausbildung" (vocational training), I quickly surpassed the knowledge level of my colleagues. However, challenging workplace dynamics and management changes led me to manage the IT department with minimal support. This experience, while overwhelming, was invaluable. Eventually, I sought new opportunities, moving to a company that provided a great work environment until it had to downsize significantly.

9elements and Beyond 🌟

Joining 9elements was a turning point, providing an ideal work environment that made it hard to imagine working elsewhere. However, life changes and the shift to remote work during the pandemic led me to explore other opportunities, including a role as CTO to build a company and develop software according to my vision. Unfortunately, this role did not meet expectations, leaving me underappreciated and overextended.

Looking Ahead 🔭

Currently, I am exploring the possibility of becoming self-employed, leveraging my extensive experience and passion for creating innovative software solutions. This new chapter is both exciting and daunting, but I am ready for the challenge.

electricity's Issues

Infinite power cheat. Please fix.

Something wrong with generator mechanical resistance:
Generators must give gear system more resistance (bigger than mechanical power that one motor can apply to gear system) or else we will have this [system with two-three generators and one motor that can run infinetly] (I mean we already have =) )...

Thank you for your attention.
Posible solutions of the "infinte engine bug" -
~ make motor produce less power to gear sys. (i don't think that this will help)
~ make motor stop if gear sys has to much resist (one generator conected to gears must stop the motor or make it work much slower)
~ make generator produce more resist so two or more generators could stop the system with one windmiln and wind with 70-80% wind power

P.S. Feature requests: Sorry for asking but it is realy hard to conect two power networks throught wall so - posible solutions:
~ Add block that (like switch) can be placed on wires and conect with the same block (or directly to device like lamp or heater) on the other side of the wall (thought one block (or more (depends on material (coper - 1 block/iron - 2 or 3))))
~ Make new wire system like in qptech mod (or like in "more red" mincraft mod) [this is much harder than previous solution]
~ Make block with cabel inserted inside it (for ex you can modify "game:chizeld_block" [if it contain copper-block (or other special block) as material] to spread power in all directions) - this is may require "harmony patching" but need to say... "harmony" usialy does more harm than harmony so... this is not perfect solution...

Electric Power Compatibility with Qptech

Would be cool if there could be some rudimentary interoperability between Qptech and this mod with regards to the electricity system

License

This project needs a license file. I have fixed some bugs privately for my server, but not sure if I can release or share them to the public.

1.19.x Issues

This mod apparently works in 1.19 we played for a while, but notice that chunks with a Generator or Motor in them tend to not be loaded until you destroy the block and place it back again.

cables smearing on mod uninstall and reinstall in world

I have an issue to where when i uninstall and reinstall the mod in the world the cables smear when placed leaving a sudo connection and this also applies to switches and the switches themselves cannot be placed.
