Nice to have

• Try implementing unified runtime sprites again
• (Maybe) Support custom entrypoints via query string

• Try out BLE connections with Linux or MCUs Did not try out Linux, but I did connect to a PSoC 4200 BLE MCU!
• Make a clone of the Archipelago Text Client I made one, but the library is in a really bad state. Not sure if I'll ever have the time and skill to contribute, but I would really like to see it improved!

IRL

University / Studying

• Prepare university practice report
• Prepare for next term (starts Feb 9)
• SE, OE: Complete the calculations and write reports Done. The last reports were really well-done, especially OE ones!
• MPDS: Figure out how to program PSoC 6 devices
• MPDS: Do additional tasks for extra points Did a few, but not many.
• MPDS: Catch up and prepare reports (hard) Didn't have enough time, but the situation is still looking good.
• MCU: Figure out how to program PSoC 4 devices
• MPDS, MCU: Improve PSoC programming and debug flow, switch to ModusToolbox? Not relevant anymore, although it was good enough by the end of the term.
• AIT: Rewrite and present the final project Was a cool one.
• Pass the final exams!

Fun
