## Goals for This Week
25+
26+
- **Goal:** Complete and deploy code to blocks functionality.
27+

29+
30+
## This Week’s Achievements
31+
32+
**Refactored code to be config driven**
33+
I refactored my code for code to block conversion to use a JSON config file so that the logic behind the conversion is as generic as possible.
34+
An example config for a block is shown below:
35+
36+
{
37+
"name": "repeat",
38+
"comments": "Repeat block in the Flow palette",
39+
"arguments": [
40+
{
41+
"type": "NumberExpression"
42+
}
43+
],
44+
"ast": {
45+
"identifiers": [
46+
{
47+
"property": "type",
48+
"value": "ForStatement"
49+
}
50+
],
51+
"argument_properties": [
52+
"test.right"
53+
],
54+
"children_properties": [
55+
"body.body"
56+
]
57+
},
58+
"blocklist_connections": [
59+
"parent_or_previous_sibling",
60+
"argument",
61+
"first_child",
62+
"next_sibling"
63+
],
64+
"default_vspaces": {
65+
"argument": 1
66+
}
67+
}
68+
69+
This config is for the repeat block, as conveniently stated in the comments section for readability.
70+
There are several pieces of information we need for a block for the conversion code to work:
71+
- The name of the block
72+
- The number of arguments, and their types
73+
- The associated AST information
74+
- The identifiers, or the path to that block (needed for matching)
75+
- The paths to the argument and children properties from the AST
76+
- The connections the block has in the blocklist [parent/previous sibling, argument(s), child(ren), next sibling]
77+
- vspace information
78+
79+
Based on these pieces of information, the conversion code is generic enough to parse through and translate into blocklist format.
80+
This is very important because this means that adding a new block for support is now as simple as adding a config like this to the JSON file.
81+
82+
---
83+
84+
## Challenges & How I Overcame Them
85+
86+
- **Challenge:** Coming up with the config format.
87+
88+
**Solution:** Lots of trial and error, and using many different examples to make the code generic.
89+
90+
- **Challenge:** Argument handling was not working with configuration.
91+
92+
**Solution:** Added a separate section in the config file for argument blocks, but made it as close to other blocks as possible.
93+
94+
---
95+
96+
## Key Learnings
97+
98+
- Deepened understanding of JSON configuration files.
99+
- Improved skills in **debugging**, **code design**, and **collaboration workflows**.
100+
101+
---
102+
103+
## Next Week’s Roadmap
104+
105+
- Fully add all blocks that we want to support for code to block conversion, with corresponding documentation and error handling.
106+
- Move on to next phase of the JSeditor project, which is the debugger
107+
- Familiarize myself with the necessary files I will need to work with for the debugger
108+
- Work on getting breakpoints to work

## Goals for This Week
25+
26+
- **Goal 1:** Add a model selection palette UI to toggle between models.
27+
- **Goal 2:** Integrate the Human-body model into the paint activity and set the Human-body human model as the default view.
28+
- **Goal 3:** Refactor and improve naming conventions for bones in the skeleton model.
29+
- **Goal 4:** Localize the Human Body Activity using i18next.js, supporting English and French.
30+
31+
32+
---
33+
34+
## This Week’s Achievements
35+
36+
1. **Model Palette Implementation**
37+
- Developed a new model selection palette in the UI allowing users to switch between:
38+
- Human body
39+
- Skeleton
40+
- Organs
41+
- Set the Human body as the default model loaded on activity start.
42+
- Palette updates the 3D scene dynamically without requiring a full reload.
43+

44+
45+
46+
2. **Human-Body Model Paint Integration**
47+
- Integrated the Human body model with the interactive paint activity.
48+
- Ensured hierarchical structure for smooth interactivity and logical mesh grouping
49+

50+
51+
52+
3. **Improved Bone Naming in Skeleton Model**
53+
- Refactored the skeletal model for accurate and educational naming:
54+
- Replaced generic labels like “Lower Leg” with specific names like **Tibia** and **Fibula**.
55+
- Split forearm into **Radius** and **Ulna**, adjusting geometry and mesh positions.
56+
57+
58+
59+
4. **Implemented i18next.js to support internationalization.**
60+
- Implemented **i18next.js** to support internationalization.
61+
- Completed full translation of Human Body Activity in **English** and **French**.
62+
- Translation files follow standard .json structure for easy future expansion.
63+
- Example image for French:

68+
69+
## Challenges & How I Overcame Them
70+
71+
- **Challenge:** Naming skeleton bones accurately without anatomical overlap.
72+
**Solution:** Cross-referenced medical diagrams and validated model mesh mapping manually in Blender.
73+
74+
---
75+
76+
## Key Learnings
77+
78+
- Deepened understanding of scene management in Three.js and optimized mesh rendering for performance.
79+
- Gained experience in internationalization using i18next.js
80+
- Developed more precise anatomical terminology awareness and importance of educational clarity.
81+
82+
---
83+
84+
## Next Week’s Roadmap
85+
86+
- Write Weekly Blog Post summarizing progress, screenshots, and key learnings.
87+
- Fix Organs model. Distance between eyes and mouth seems to be more than required, reduce that and see if there is some alignment issue.
88+
- Integrate the full human body model into the paint activity to allow direct interaction and labeling across complete anatomy.
89+
- Merge Paint and Learn mode to show a popup at bottom of screen when user click a part
