Bullish #1

Hello there! Started Bullish to work on something simpler (a Discord bot), and more aligned with my passion (finance!). Here’s what happened today:

  1. Configured Pycord with extensions (modularisation).
  2. Played around with Coinbase’s API.

In the coming few days, more functions related to currencies, exchange rates, and buy/sell/spot prices will be developed. The end goal is to have a Discord bot that allows users to play around with market prices and values similar to the real-world counterpart, hence an engaging simulation.

(Timecard #4) I’m about to head off to my hometown for a day trip, so here’s what happened this morning:

  1. Modularised EVERYTHING I can so the COBOL code is less cluttered.
  2. Added data file for tasks.
  3. Implemented system initialisation, checks for files and dates.
  4. Added OS-aware screen clearing.

I will spend the time in the car thinking of a method to efficiently display the TUI.

(Timecard #3) Hello again! Today is a decent day.

  1. Figured out how to modularised COBOL code (this took wayyy too long)
  2. Built a tool to aid with compiling all the files (now a separate project lol - Cobweb)

Next up, working on the core mechanics! Shouldn’t be a big headache since I got the modularisation figured out.

(Timecard #2) Haihhh, it’s a few minutes past New Year 2025. I’m feeling a bit better now, 80% recovered from all the sickness of yesterday hahahaa . Almost shed tears. Anyways, here’s a summary of the past 3hrs:

  1. Reworked working storage section variables to be more versatile.
  2. Figured out some TUI things, quite hard to achieve on COBOL lol - trial n error on various techniques to get it done.
  3. Since the TUI is figured out, I made the HELP page.
    For tomorrow, I’m going to work on setup/initialisation as well as the date handler.

COBOL is a fascinating choice, would love to follow along with this :D

I’m working on my first project! This is so exciting. I can’t wait to share more updates as I build.
