Tabletop Simulator Types available from https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/tts-types

Me: Okay. I'm just going to prototype a game. Don't want to get carried away. I won't even write a game engine. I'll use Tabletop Simulator.

Friend: Sounds good. How's it going?

Me: Well. I needed to be able to debug my code. https://github.com/tts-community/moonsharp-tts-debug

Friend: Oh, neat. So your game is done now?

Me: Not exactly. I had to had in matchmaking by reverse engineering Steam. https://github.com/SteamRE/SteamKit/pull/704

Friend: Ah. Alright. Can I play it now?

Me: Nah, I was finding it hard to maintain code. I wrote a Lua code bundler. https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/luabundle

Friend: Sweet.

Me: Yeah, but I decided to integrate it into the official tooling. https://github.com/Berserk-Games/atom-tabletopsimulator-lua/...

Friend: I'm sure the community will be thankful.

Me: I hope so. I now run a small community of TTS developers. https://github.com/tts-community/

Friend: Right. You must be done by now.

Me: Nah, I couldn't statically type check my code. So I wrote some types. https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/tts-types

Friend: Seems unnecessary for a prototype, but sure.

Me: I had to write my own IDE to use them though. https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/IntelliJ-Luanalysis

Friend: Right... So how'd the game going then?

Me: Oh, I'm not doing that anymore. I now consult for Berserk Games, developers of Tabletop Simulator

Friend: ...

The next step depends on what you want to do with those items. You can access all information as item is a table containing the internal representation of an object (like it is stored in the TTS save file). To know how that state looks like you can print it to the screen (print(logString(obj.getData()))). You can also checkout this file which describes its content in more technical terms.

Have seen similar reports in the past about Academic, such as https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/hugo-academic-adapting-old-hero-widget-css-custom-code/31611 and the related https://github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-themes/discussions/2213 (and this particular oddity illustrates perfectly why growing numbers of Hugo afficionados think the “themes-first” approach of Hugo documentation is flawed) — but, of course, none of that helps you now. Does your project have a public repository for viewing, since the Academic documentation is (as you say) unhelpful?

If you're building a personal website from scratch in 2021 (especially a blog), I strongly recommend Hugo over Jekyll. I had used Jekyll for a decade and very often hit random quirks that have been completely eliminated with modern Hugo. However, there's a bit of a migration process if you are moving from Jekyll to Hugo despite both being Markdown-based blogs.

If you want a more advanced framework for a personal website, I recommend Wowchemy (https://wowchemy.com/) on top of Hugo, which gives the tools needed out-of-the-box like lazy loading/SEO/object-oriented collections, albeit with a massive learning curve.
