FINALLY…After 8 hrs smth mins of scripting and debugging I have this….You can add many tracks, change their individual volumes and play it as a whole. My plan is to make an opensource DAW which can easily be modded. I have holidays where I live so I’ll try putting atleast 8hrs a day. I need to format it because it feels pretty barebones rn AND I NEED THAT LAPTOP (i have a 4gb ram rn). Ty all!!
Ok… I’ve got some huge changes. The DAW is starting to take shape now. You can now see the waveform of your audio track. I improved the audio quality drastically. I formatted so now everything is centered. I implemented a dark grey theme with neon blue accents. I’ve come up with the name… I think I’ll call it OpenDAW. I still don’t know what I’ll do with the space on the left but I know I’ll come up with something. My passion for this project is increasing every second I work on it.
Had a bit of a longer session this time. The last 3 days have been highly productive for me but now my holidays are over :( . I’ve made some big changes: -Added a record button. (Took me wayyy to long to make) -Added partitions so now all the sections are clearly divided. -Added a timeline. -Added a panel on the left (Still don’t know what I’m gonna do with it) -Added Save, Load, Export and Import features -Now you can trim your audio clips -Moved the add track button to the top left
Tried to fix the record button cus it kept bugging out for some reason and I screwed everything up. I GIVE UP FOR TODAY. I’ll think abt this tmrw.
-I FINALLY FIXED THE RECORD BUTTON. -I added a piano roll which can be switched to using the button on the top left (Probably might switch it’s location later). -It’s a 4 octave piano you can left-click cells to add notes and click them again to remove. -For now there’s only one instrument (Rhodes Piano). I’ll add more soon!
Added these keyboard commands
You can now rename and recolor all your tracks! I also fixed the importing from the piano roll to the timeline. When you click the recolour button it randomly picks a colour. I’ll add particular colour pickers in the near future.
I finally added another instrument in the piano roll. You can now select between an acoustic guitar and a piano. I’ll add more in the coming days.
Ok! I added some core features that I was supposed to add before. You can now move your tracks in the timeline. Your supposed to click and drag the waveforms horizontally. I also added settable BPM. Now your BPM is visible in the top toolbar and I set the range from 40bpm to 240 (By default it’s 120). Also your bpm is saved and loaded with projects.
I finally found a purpose for the panel on the left. You can now see the current bpm, track count, track length, selected track, position and length. You can also rename your track, change its colour or split the track here. You can also split a track by moving the playhead and clicking “D” or split at a particular section of the track.
I finally added an effects rack. The effects I included were: Gain, Delay, Delay Time, Reverb, Distortion, Compressor, High-pass and low-pass filters. Each track now has an “fx” button or you can use the open effects rack on the left panel. The effects are added both to playback and export and you can use the “f” key to open the rack.
So I added undo and redo buttons (finally) in the top toolbar you can use ctrl+z and ctrl+y as shortcut keys. I’ve also added a looping feature. You can now enable the loop from the on/off button on the transport bar. Set A sets the loop start at current playhead. Set B sets the loop end at current playhead. “L” toggles looping and playback cycles continuously between Set A and Set B.
I added a drum beat maker ! (It shows up with an error tho whenever I try to play more than two drum tracks). It has a 16 step sequencer, A kick, snare, Hi-hats, clap. You can add cells by clicking them (they’re togglable). It uses your current BPM and is added to the timeline using the “Add to timeline” button. The code works by having separate parts for the tracks, audio engine, and GUI, which work together to load.
I added markers (they get placed at your playheads position). I added Auto-save which is togglable currently but I’ll probably change that soon. I added clip fades which can be set after clicking the fade in or fade out button. A dialogue box appears asking you at what time you need the track to fade in and out. I also expanded the undo/redo to 100 states which now includes fades and the markers. The project is close to completion!
I added a fullscreen arangement view. When you click f11 or the arrangement button in the top the daw expands into the timeline. It’s not perfect yet and it’s very buggy so I might remove it later (or fix it). The feature is inspired from ableton live.
I removed the fullscreen arrangement feature cause it kept bugging out and I wasn’t able to fix it. I’ll probably add it back on a future date. I also improved the vocals. You can now select your microphone from the input dropdown. You can record vocals when the instrument is playing. I’ve also added a vocal preset to the fx rack. The project is near completion (I’ll say around 3/4th way through).
I’ve added a settings window. You can now select your preferred microphone, MIDI and you can refresh devices if you’ve connected a new one. Also the keyboard shortcut list is displayed here. Settings is accessible from both the toolbar or the File dropdown

It appears with entries where you can set your project name, BPM, Make a new project, Open an existing project or even settings. I made a new logo which is displayed at the top. I’ve also added a zoom in timeline feature for better viewing in the timeline.
I’VE ADDED TWO HUGE FEATURES!!!: 1)Full Mixer- So now we’ve got a dedicated mixer screen with volume faders, pan, mute/solo and a master channel. The colour of the tracks correspond with the mixer track colours. 2)Fixed Timeline Zoom- The zoom is now visible on the left panel. It changes the timeline width.

I started building BACKSPACE, an interactive web experience that takes users through different eras of the internet, from the early web of the 1990s to the modern internet. The idea was to let users explore how web design, technology, and internet culture evolved over time through an immersive, interactive interface. What was challenging? The biggest challenge was creating distinct experiences for different eras while keeping the website interactive, visually engaging, and responsive across devices. I also wanted to make it feel like an actual journey through internet history rather than just another informational website. What are you proud of? I’m proud of the concept and the ambition behind it. I wanted to turn internet history into something people could experience rather than simply read about. Although I couldn’t complete the project as planned because my laptop broke down during development, I learned a lot from the process and still want to revisit the idea. What should people know so they can test your project? BACKSPACE was a work in progress, and the full experience wasn’t completed because of my laptop issues. If you explore the available version, please keep that in mind. I’d especially appreciate feedback on the concept, visual design, and how the experience could become more immersive and engaging.", "repo": "https://github.com/AadarshJain07/BACKSPACE", "demo": "https://backspace-nu.vercel.app/"}]...

I recreated the experience with a period-inspired Google Chrome 8 browser , featuring interactive versions of Twitter, Facebook & FarmVille, Angry Birds, Instagram, and an HTML5 vs Flash showcase . 🐦 Dual-pane Twitter with 140-character composer & Fail Whale 🚜 Facebook Wall + interactive FarmVille 🏹 Angry Birds-style HTML5 canvas physics 📸 Instagram-inspired vintage filters & photostream ⚡ Interactive Flash vs HTML5 experience 📱 Responsive Web Design multi-device sandbox 🔊 Custom Web Audio API sound effects Built with React + TypeScript + Vite . 2010 was when the web started becoming the web we know today. 🔮 Next: Day 5 — 2015, the Modern Web.
Ships:
What did you make? I started building BACKSPACE, an interactive web experience that takes users through different eras of the internet, from the early web of the 1990s to the modern internet. The idea was to let users explore how web design, technology, and internet culture evolved over time through an immersive, interactive interface. What was challenging? The biggest challenge was creating distinct experiences for different eras while keeping the website interactive, visually engaging, and responsive across devices. I also wanted to make it feel like an actual journey through internet history rather than just another informational website. What are you proud of? I’m proud of the concept and the ambition behind it. I wanted to turn internet history into something people could experience rather than simply read about. Although I couldn’t complete the project as planned because my laptop broke down during development, I learned a lot from the process and still want to revisit the idea. What should people know so they can test your project? BACKSPACE was a work in progress, and the full experience wasn’t completed because of my laptop issues. If you explore the available version, please keep that in mind. I’d especially appreciate feedback on the concept, visual design, and how the experience could become more immersive and engaging....

Devlogs:
got the frame of the OS and I will added it into the website in some way but not now as I want to just build it to have it build
i have a bottom bar thing that can track time
I make the window movable, but some bugs are there. I’m tired so good night this will be the last devlog for today.
I added closing and opening the uhm… right, the window. I am able to open and close the window also aapps
I might have accidently added the controlling multiple widows before I was told. so, when I was following the guide, I made it so it can be done more easier without needing to use multiple variables for one simple task, so I made one function to contain the app, and it accidently made it so it can work for any window.
I have been working on my notes app. I have made it editable. also, I have the stacking and minimizing working with the app icons and I didn’t talk about it last time, but I made an icon for the app, in pixel art of course. also, you can format the text but i would like to be able to make custom formatting but for now it’s the default html formatting… also give me any ideas on the button since i don’t know what to do about it and I got the design from https://www.w3schools.com/tools/tool_css_button.php it helped me preview it and modify easier.
so, I had streamlined the process and making everything dynamically load instead of loading everything at the start. I have everything in the root div but now everything is empty and organized by the app instead of being cluttered in the html and since they won’t show to begin with they won’t affect how it looks
i have been working on the blog app and after that I need to make the sidebar for the app so it can swap from different blogs I might replace the welcome page to this as it is better than the welcome app
my plan for the blog app is to be able to have a next and past button like a side bar but more condensed into a smaller thing since I don’t want a bulky looking app unless I should but right now, I don’t want it to look bulky. i also am working on how the blog look from coping from other news, blogs, and other pages to get inspiration, so I have been changing the css for the content to make it look perfect but can’t get it right, so if you have anything you think I should change or add to it to make it look better tell me in the comments so that I can know and improve my page since I would like to have it look good before I ship.
I’ve been working on the blog app making it look as good as I can before adding the other blogs and the blog changing since this is the hardest part, also I had imported a custom font it’s called bebas neue
I started on the change page thing I want it to be like on the bottom of a google page with the line of number the next and before button
I’ve added the blog app into my autoload thingy and I’m starting on the script to have different blogs on it. I have the number system working and allowing me to have multiple numbers working. next I have to make the amount cap have it shift left and right and the buttons to work
ive added the changing of pages for the blog right now it has two page one is a welcome to the blog and the other is a test and I’m going to leave it since I like leaving my “mark” I leave on thing alone and have it stay there
im tring to make a chatbot but the ai is actually stupid i tried to give it an input in the bottom but it just returned the same thing
holy it took forever to do this like I had to change the ai so many times but in the end i settled into webllm since it’s free, a webai thing and it was super easy and the only thing I needed AI for was one error but other than that no ai was used… I mean other than the ai I’m getting
I did after 2 hours I finally did it… the whole chatbot is done!!! it took me so long and I had to fix little errors and figure out how to make it mistake proof so that the ai doesn’t break with 10 user messages for one AI message although I probably need to add a generating screen saying the message is generating and a loading screen for the OS because when you first load in you have to wait until the ai model is loaded in… also don’t mind about what I was talking to the ai about I was trying to think of topics to talk about to test it and I was trying to make the scroll bar appear inside the box but it doesn’t want to so I gave up
this is an extra devlog because I didn’t reload before I posted the other devlog and I didn’t want to lose 1 and a half hours, so I didn’t realize that these hours weren’t apart of it so here’s the first screenshot of my OS
I though the other one was different but i was so sleep deprived that I didn’t realize I didn’t post about what I did previously rather than adding extra hours but now I can tell you so I added an internet access that will send you to google if you search something and dynamic loading and a loading screen(those two are from the perversely added features). also there is three more blogs I was also sleep deprivaved if you look at the time when they were posted you would see why
Ships:
i made this OS with feature that seem interesting and new to do I really like what the project turned out to be
I added a loading screen when the page loads I added a search app I added an ai chatbot also, if you are loading into the page for the first time it will take 3- 90 seconds so the ai model can load...

Added a README.txt file along with a notepad application , a volume bar and a power button with the time next to it. I’ll gonna add a bunch of other applications and finish up soon
Finished all the applications and added a taskbar I forgot to include the notepad and file manager in the last devlog I think im finished for now, will definitely develop this project further in the WebOS 2 mission
Back working on new features for Retro WebOS, Sadly i spent so long coding new startup and switch off animations but you can still see the desktop for a few milliseconds while its switching on and off. I plan on trying to fix this but i might just give up and call it a day
I added the Second new feature to Retro WebOS, all notepad and ide files now have a save to documents option which actually stores them in the browsers local storage as well as the file manager where they can be accessed at any time!
The 3rd and final new feature added to my retro webos is a mini retro snake game with “New game” and “Full screen” buttons along with simple instructions on how to play.

An assistant for a salesperson, not another lead list. You give it a customer profile, it walks the Czech public registers, and once a week it hands back a handful of companies with something that actually changed this week — each with a full dossier where every claim carries the exact quote it came from and a link to the page it was found on. Built as a take-home assignment for RTsoft (they sell custom shop-floor management software), and it’s live in production, not just running on my machine. What was challenging? Hallucination is the whole risk of this task, not a side concern — an invented fact about a company that a salesperson pastes into an email is worse than no output at all.

I started working on icp-scout - an AI assistant that helps find potential B2B customers. The idea behind the project is simple: instead of a salesperson spending hours searching for companies, opening different websites, and collecting information manually, the assistant should handle this routine work. The goal is not just to provide a list of companies, but to explain why each company could be a good fit and why now might be the right time to contact them. Right now, I’m working on the basic project architecture and thinking about how to make AI results more reliable. The biggest challenge with systems like this is that AI can confidently generate information that is not true. That’s why it is important that every important statement can be verified and has a clear source. Next, I plan to connect public company data sources, build the first analysis pipeline, and test it with real examples.
The assistant now produces real company cards - every claim on one carries the exact quote it came from and a link to the source it was found in. To make sure that actually held, I wrote a check that re-verifies every stored fact against the archived page it supposedly came from, and ran it over the whole database.100 of 172 “facts” failed. Every single one came from my own code: the part that reads the state company register was writing claims marked “verified” without ever passing them through the verifier. The irony is that the register is the most trustworthy source in the entire project - it was just the only one asserting things instead of proving them. Now 177 of 177 pass.I also cut the weekly run from ~50 minutes to about 2, after finding an official API that lists which companies changed recently - 30 of mine in a week, instead of re-checking all 3,299.
Ran two experiments trying to find better weights for the outreach-order score — a permutation test on our own signals, and a 1536-dim embedding of company sites — both landed at chance (AUC 0.39, p≈0.8). Turns out public site text just doesn’t say whether a company is buying planning software; that’s a ceiling in the source, not something more features would fix, so scoring got replaced with an order read straight off the client’s own ICP document instead of invented weights. Then reading five actual weekly cards by hand caught two things neither experiment did: a solar-panel subsidy misfiled as “scaling up production,” and the #1 company on the list whose own grant description said “we’re buying a complete information system” — already a lost lead, not a hot one.

Two rigorous measurements found nothing; two hours of eyeballing cards found the bugs sitting at the top of the list.
Built a carousel for the week’s five cards - swipe through them one at a time, or flip to a plain grid
Wired up actual deploy: push to main, and a minute later the demo is running that commit. git archive straight over ssh into a receive script — no registry, no git pull on the server, so the server never holds credentials for this repo. The one thing it refuses to do is kill a run in progress: /api/run spawns the pipeline as a subprocess, and a container restart takes it down with it. Now the script asks first, and if a run is going it stops and exits non-zero — red, on purpose, because a deploy that shipped code but didn’t put it into service has no business looking green.Rebuilding the whole thing from nothing on a clean machine found what months of running it on my own box never did.

Ships:
What did you make? An assistant for a salesperson, not another lead list. You give it a customer profile, it walks the Czech public registers, and once a week it hands back a handful of companies with something that actually changed this week — each with a full dossier where every claim carries the exact quote it came from and a link to the page it was found on. Built as a take-home assignment for RTsoft (they sell custom shop-floor management software), and it’s live in production, not just running on my machine. What was challenging? Hallucination is the whole risk of this task, not a side concern — an invented fact about a company that a salesperson pastes into an email is worse than no output at all. So the model never gets to assert anything; it proposes a claim + a quote, and my code searches for that exact quote in the page text I archived. First time I ran a verifier that rechecked stored claims against their own archived pages, 100 of 172 supposedly-verified facts failed — all from one code path, the part reading the state register, which had been marking its own claims “verified” without ever passing them through the check.

To explain, I like calling it a renderer instead of a game engine, because I purposefully tried to add as few bloat features as I could, I just wanted something that made rendering something that I don’t have to think about. More info on the README page, this isn’t a good explanation. Just know that it isn’t just a basic Vulkan abstraction, this is a full renderer with PBR, many post-processing effects, skyboxes, dynamic lights, rigged and animated meshes and frustrum culling ’cause why not. Changelog since the last ship: 2 new post-processing effects, pixelation and fog I also added a feature where shiny objects reflect the skybox, which isn’t realistic, but it adds a great sense of realism and I like to add it to my games. one of the largest changes was turning this into an actual library instead of an executable, which allows easier integration. I also made a full game as a tech demo for this project, it can be found at this link or under my stardance profile. It turned out really well, and I’m proud of myself, because I finally made a game engine that I can actually make games in easily. (The screenshot is from the game) and the smallest but still a significant change was rewriting the entire 2D rendering part of the engine for 2 reasons: it had a memory leak, and text rendering was buggy, slow and barely worked.", "repo": "https://github.com/gungugugungu/GVK-Engine", "demo": "https://github.com/gungugugungu/GVK-Engine/releases"}, {"ship_num": 2, "ts": "2026-08-17T20:15:46Z", "hours": 47.0, "multiplier": 15.86, "payout": 748, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "GVK (short for gungu vulkan) is my new renderer using the Vulkan graphics api. I miss the times when I worked with pygame and love2d, where rendering an image was one simple line of code, and I intend to bring that experience to 3D with this project. Everything is designed to be as easy as possible for the user, just writes gvk::draw_mesh(mesh, material, position, scale, rotation); and the mesh is where you want it, how you want it. But don’t mistake it, this is not a game engine, this is just a renderer, something you can build an engine on. I made this tool so my later projects have a graphical backbone to build on, but every game needs a different engine. Ever since I started graphics programming last year I knew that one day I had to learn Vulkan if I ever wanted a job in it in the future, and I’m very proud of myself for finally doing it. This was the greatest challenge I faced in programming so far, and I so glad I tackled it. And as for AI: This project was created so I could learn Vulkan, and if I copied everything from AI that would have been to effective. My goal was to use as little AI as I could, while still leaving out the headaches of development. Here’s what I used AI for: Many of the shaders were written by AI, but that’s because I haven’t learned any of the maths I need to know to write any of these shader. When a shader wasn’t too math heavy I wrote it myself, but there weren’t too many of those. The GLTF loading isn’t hard, it’s just a headache to work with it. GLTF is a horrible format for developers, but it’s the best I knew, so I rather had AI write the GLTF loading functions. I’m still glad I did that, I would have learned nothing from writing those.", "repo": "https://github.com/gungugugungu/GVK-Engine", "demo": "https://github.com/gungugugungu/GVK-Engine/releases"}]...

SKYBOXES and other stuff Here’s a full changelog of the last 3 posts: I wrote a really handy shader compiler to make this update just a bit easier, now it automatically compiles all shaders at once I don’t have to do it one by one I wrote a compositing pass that finally has a use case as can be seen right now. The skybox and the objects are rendered separately to separate images, and the compositing pass combines them and renders them to the screen together. Might sound simple, and I have to admit if I understood Vulkan a bit better it might have been, but right now I’m really proud of myself for it. Of course the headline feature: The Skybox . This is most of what I’ve been working on for the last 3 updates. It’s done in a really cool way. The easy way of doing a skybox is to just render it as one giant object and then bim bam boom there it is, but sadly that has a couple of issues, the largest one is that this is extremely lazy. So I did it the smart way instead. What you’re seeing there is actually a cube a tad bit smaller than the monkey, but it’s rendered in a separate pass, where I only pass the camera’s rotation and not the position, and I also have the depth disabled. I render that to a separate image, use the compositing pass, and there it is, a beautiful, very stable and very professional skybox. I’m almost done rambling, but I have to mention one last feature, and that is the loading of equirectangular images into a cubemap texture .

From that, it’s actually quite simple to compare if the box is inside the frustum or not, though it’s kinda hard to explain so I won’t bother, but I just run that for every object, and it basically makes it, so if an object is not inside the camera’s vision, then it just makes it disappear.

Devlogs:
After about an hour of following vkguide.dev, I managed to make a little compute shader that display 16×16 cells of a gradient. Great start!
I finished the ImGui implementation, I’m starting to get the hang of things. I’m still following vkguide.dev for the setup phase, but I’m eager to finally get to the fun part of graphics programming
Implementing a proper graphics pipeline was surprisingly easy. I remembered a lot from my experience in sokol and of course the guide was quite helpful as well. Got from a compute shader to a proper pipeline very fast. I’m still very eager to get back to the fun part of graphics programming and not be stuck in setup hell, but the next step is writing the mesh buffers, so that’ll be fun.
I’m progressing rather fast, I implemented a full mesh buffer system, which allows me to render any mesh. Mesh loading will be the next task, but until then the best display I can do is a colorful rectangle, I hope that’s good enough
So mesh loading and rendering works, although I haven’t gotten the world matrix and transformations quite right😅 The guide I’m using to learn Vulkan actually recommended I use fastgltf, but I ended up going with tinygltf, as I’ve used it before and have a bunch more experience in it, and oh boy is having experience a good feeling when learning VK
Mesh rendering is finally complete. This is a full 3D scene with a little monkey, rendered perfectly in perspective.
I did a giant rework of the descriptor allocation to make handling textures a breeze in the future. Yes, I did mostly just follow the guide, but I am really getting the hang of how Vulkan works, and the guide is ending in a couple of chapers, and the rest will be up to me, and I already feel ready for the task. I have to admit it doesn’t exactly work yet, but I’m working on patching it, it shouldn’t be an issue.
Thanks to the major rework of the allocation of descriptors, I have managed to implemented textures into rendering. I haven’t made texture loading yet, since it’ll be an engine feature and I’m working on project setup , so enjoy the beautiful pink-black checkerboard pattern on Suzie, the Blender monkey.
I finally finished the guide (🥳🥳🥳), so it’s time to make the game engine I want . My first improvement was adding a render queue, which basically means I can render anything in a much user friendly way.
To be completely honest this engine development thing is going a lot more awful than I could have imagined. I tried to implement a proper camera and transformations for the objects, and now nothing works, yet I barely changed anything. I have been staring at this function for like 2 hours, I’ve tried everything, and nothing works.
I have to admit I’m pretty proud of myself. I implemented the proper transformations for objects , I also made a good camera system , and I fixed the uv mapping of objects, so textures finally work properly. All this in under an hour.
I wrote a giant list on what I want to implement into this framework to make it full. I’m pretty sure I’ll be done in about 150-200 hours, which I have about 40 days to make before the end of this thing. That is 3.75 - 5 hours of coding in a day. Anyway, here’s the list: TODO FEATURES: lighting gpu scene data uniform buffer ambient light directional light point lights tangent space normal mapping tangent generation in gltf loading dynamic light count proper api for handling lights shadow mapping depth-only pipeline shadow map image light space matrix shadow pass shadow sampling in the main fragment shader shadow bias PCF filtering material system material struct (albedo map, normal map, roughness map, emissive map, scalar tint and roughness and metallic factors) material descriptor layout default fallback textures gltf material loading draw_mesh api update emissive support in the shader creating and destroying materials for user-made materials mipmaps and proper sample management mipmap generation on upload mip count calculation sampler cache (so samplers are never duplicated) instanced rendering per-instance storage buffer draw_mesh_instanced api write the shader for it (gl_InstanceIndex) move to indirect drawing so the instance count can eventually come from gpu-side data skybox cubemap loading skybox pipeline skybox shader set_skybox api frustrum culling bounding sphere per mesh (compute in loading by finding the disctance from the centroid across all vectires) frustrum plane extraction (gribb-hartmann) cull loop stats readout post processing stack fullscreen traingle pipeline HDR tonemapping guassian blur api box blur api bloom vignette 2D rendering quad mesh 2D pipeline surface class default surface draw_surface draw_rect font atlas rendering MSAA multisample draw image resolve attachment configurable sample count
I implemented a fully automatic mipmap system . Basically, mipmaps are lower quality version of a texture that appear the farther you are from an object. The image I attached is of mipmap layer 4, but of course this was set manually to showcase the system working.
I finished frustum culling . You’ve probably seen this feature in some random wannabe gamedevs post on tiktok saying how they “optimized their game” by enabling frustum culling in Unity and calling themselves genius for it. Well it wasn’t as easy as pressing a button for me. Here’s how it works: I generate an axis aligned bounding box (AABB) for every object when loaded.

I attached the majority of the logic in the second picture
I’m well into developing the skybox system along with a compositing pass , but since I needed to write so many new shaders for this update, I decided to write a simple shader compiler, and I kinda want to show it off so it’s not lost in the giant list of changes that I’ll push in the next update. That’s it, I rest my case, that’s all I wanted until I’m finished.
This is a change that cannot be seen, but the composite pipeline is actually working. This is a really simple step in the graphics pipeline, it takes the images from the previous passes and combines them to make a final image. This will be useful for future features like 2D drawing, post-processing, the skybox, etc., so I’m happy I managed to implement it.

As always, this is next to some generic bugfixes here and there, but it’s been 1.5 hours and I forgot what I fixed and what I didn’t so if you happen to care enough this is open-source just like go and check it out.
And just like that, the next major update is done! SKYBOXES and other stuff Here’s a full changelog of the last 3 posts: I wrote a really handy shader compiler to make this update just a bit easier, now it automatically compiles all shaders at once I don’t have to do it one by one I wrote a compositing pass that finally has a use case as can be seen right now. The skybox and the objects are rendered separately to separate images, and the compositing pass combines them and renders them to the screen together. Might sound simple, and I have to admit if I understood Vulkan a bit better it might have been, but right now I’m really proud of myself for it. Of course the headline feature: The Skybox .

I’m almost done rambling, but I have to mention one last feature, and that is the loading of equirectangular images into a cubemap texture . I think I’ve typed enough for this update, but if you care you can look it up or like look at my code. Next up: 2D rendering and I have some great ideas for it
2D rendering!! I have to admit this feature was kinda easy to implement, because most of it was ripped straight from my last game engine, but I did it because I think it is a really smart way of handling how a 2D system should work. Everything relies on the Surface class, the display itself is a surface, the loaded images are surfaces, and those surfaces can draw to eachother. This makes the system easy yet expandable. I think it’s kinda cool. It was heavily inspired by how pygame does things.
MSAA !! (multisampled anti-aliasing) I always viewed anit-aliasing as this mystery thing that can make a game prettier and I’ll never know how it works. I have to say, it was way easier than expected, most of the time I spent was on some stupid bug or general debugging. You can’t really see the difference in a small screenshot, but it looks so much better full screen.
I thought how cool would it be if I just did a whole 10 hour devlog with all of post-processing in it, but I realized I wouldn’t be able to show off all the cool stuff I’ve done, so I’m doing it effect by effect, anyway, GAUSSIAN BLUR (post-processing effect 1) But not just that, I also brainstormed out the entire post-processing system, and “implemented” it. I didn’t exactly implement it yet because I need to finish all the effects, but it’s there. I still have to finish: box blur, bloom, vignette and tonemapping, and I also want support for custom effects, but that’ll be really easy so I don’t want to put it on this list.
BOX BLUR (post-processing effect 2) I have to admit this took 11 minutes, and the rest of the 5 minutes I spent in this devlog was spent debugging 3 new errors so I can make a post about this feature too. It took so little because I literally just copied and renamed the gaussian blur functions, and changed the shader. Still, I have box blur now. Actually, I think there’s quite a difference between the 2 blurs, quite cool. Of course now that I look at it it’s barely visible in the screenshots.
VIGNETTE (post-processing effect 3) This was the most fun I’ve had debugging something in a while. This was really simple to implement, although I can’t really say a lot. The initialization was the same as the other effects, the actual logic of it was pretty similar, the shader wasn’t too hard to write too, but added up it was pretty bad. I accidentally left one of the push parameters in the CPU code as an int, but a float in the GPU code, which I ended up having to chase down for quite a while. The values are over the top on the image so it is more visible on the screenshot, of course I won’t leave it like this. Also, I have written a new readme for the github page. I just kinda wanted to, and thought why not?
BLOOM (post-processing effect 4) I’m almost done with all of the post-processing effects, and this was by far the hardest of them all, but I managed to push through it. I’m really proud of myself, because I finally understand Vulkan enough where I didn’t need any sort of outside help to debug this error. I think I can finally call myself someone who understands Vulkan now. Anyway, now I just need to make tonemapping and the effects are done. After that I just make the simplest pipeline to composite it all, and I’m done with that as well.
POST-PROCESSING STACK and TONEMAPPING AND COLOR GRADING (post-processing effect 5) This is the finale to the post-processing saga, because I’m finished with tonemapping and color grading. Everything will look really good and cool and whatever, altough I’ve been coding non-stop for 2.5 hours and I don’t really care to give an explanation right now. I don’t have to explain color grading everybody knows that, and tonemapping is the process of mapping the internal HDR render image to an LDR (whatever it’s called) image that the display can actually render properly, how cool is that?
This change is not too visible, but it is a major change in the engine MATERIALS Everybody who worked in any sort of 3D graphics knows what materials are. And those know, that the next step after this is lighting . This wouldn’t have been that big of a change, if not for one issue. I’m developing on linux, and every once in a while my GPU drivers uninstall themselves, so everything runs on the integrated graphics on the CPU. That happened, but I thought that the code just became really slow because I was sending 6 images to the GPU every single frame, and that slowed it down. So I spent a bunch of time making a large optimization, and it worked like a charm, it ran fast. Then I found out the entire thing was running on the CPU and I didn’t even need to optimize it. Anyway, it’s here, and it’s fast
Well well well. Seems like it’s time for LIGHTING !!!!! finally This was not easy, and yet it was made so much easier by having done it once before last year. I added support for a directional light, a dynamic (aka not hard coded, so pratically infinite amount of) point lights and spot lights, full PBR, and I also made a little handy editor to go along with it, although that’s not in the renderer that’s just in the demo project. Anyways, this was an incredible journey filled with pain and suffering like never before, and I’m so glad I’m through it all. And if this was a challenge, I don’t know what shadow mapping is going to be, which is going to be basically right now, I’m going to add tanget space normal mapping and then it’s already shadowmapping. I’m mentally unprepared, but oh well what can I do?
NORMAL MAPPING This was a really easy update, most of the shader changes were copied from my last engine, and the CPU side of things was just changing the vertex struct and loading the tangents in the mesh loading function. But it works.
SCENE LOADING I just got home from a 10 day adventure that’ll never forget, but I’m back to code, and to get myself to shake into the civilized world again I decided to do a simpler feature before shadow mapping, so I implemented full scene loading from GLTF files. It’s a pretty handy feature, I’m glad I finally made it. It doesn’t just load models and materials, but lights too, pretty handy.
SSAO (screen-space ambient occlusion) This one was fun. Ambient occlusion is just a little shadow thing at the edge of meshes. It is not realistic, technically it doesn’t exist in the real world, yet it looks so much better with it. To be honest I don’t have a lot to say about this, it’s done and it’s cool.
SKINNED MESHES AND RIGGING This renderer is extremely close to done. I just implemented fully rigged (and animated) meshes. They render properly and animations work too (although I didn’t really care enough to show an example) . Now I am at the last 2 steps of this renderer before starting work on a game in it: 1. Polish up all the API commands so it’s more user friendly. For example, skinned meshes work and can be adjusted manually, but I have a really good idea on how to make working with them super easy, so I’ll definitely implement that. 2. Make a demo that includes basically everything I have developed so far. This step also includes writing compatibility for multiple platforms, because so far I’ve only tested this project on Ubuntu, and I’ll definitely need a windows version too. And that’s it, the project is nearing it’s completion. I can’t wait to make a proper game in this, which I’ll document too of course. Also, I’m writing all of this while I’m on a vacation in Denmark, so I’m quite far from home, but I’m extremely motivated to get this project finished.
FINAL POLISHING (mostly just making the API more useable) I genuinely can’t believe this. I did it, I made a renderer in Vulkan. Well, I’m still not in the clear yet, but I’m very close. Changelog: updated Skin struct to include find_joint() function added Pose struct updated existing skinned mesh systems to work with the Pose struct added sample_clip(), compute_global_pose(), compute_skinning_matrices(), pose_set_local(), pose_set_global(), pose_get_global(), update_animation() and finalize_pose(). These are all helpers for making work with animated and rigged meshes a whole lot easier moved all of the functions inside the gvk namespace, because they were about half and half before.
THE GREAT DEBUGGING and A DEMO This is the final post as long as everything works as intended. I fixed every single validation layer error that occurred, so this project is officially bug-free (to my knowledge) . I also made a really simple demo that I uploaded to the github releases tab of the repository. I also finalized the readme, so now the project also has a fancy description. What a ride, I love this project.
I worked for over 4 hours, but the renderer finally works as a library!!! That’s right, just put it in as a git submodule, add it as a subdirectory to you CMake project, and there it is! Way too much work for something so simple, but I had to debug a whole lot of stuff. I also edited the README to feature usage instructions and also how to try the demo.
I also rewrote the single mesh gltf loading function to return the material and the entire vertex and index arrays, because I’ll need them for a feature I’m making for my game. This is slowly turning into engine development and I kinda like it.
I rewrote the texture loading part of GLTF loading because it just plain didn’t work since I updated everything to tinygltf3, but I didn’t notice because it was after the demo. Anyways, it’s done now.
I completely rewrote the text rendering in the Surface class and also fixed a giant memory leak. Here’s a picture of it in use in my game.
I wasted so much time trying to optimize it all to lead to nothing, but I did end up optimizing some stuff with the Surfaces along with actual color blending for them. I did end up optimizing a bit, but that’s basically nothing. This is the most worthless update to this entire project, I don’t even know how I spent 3 hours on this.
PIXELATION POST-PROCESSING EFFECT I made my post-processing system so expandable that I just casually added it ‘cause I thought it would look cool in the game I’m making. I’m sure as hell right about that.
I also fixed a bug where the bloom’s blur looped around to the other side of the screen.
Screen-space reflections would be a major challenge, but I learned that making the skybox reflect off of shiny surfaces is a pretty good way of making your renders seem much better. As of right now it technically works, but I came to realize that I wasn’t loading materials right, so if an image didn’t have a roughness texture, then it would end up completely shiny. I’m almost done fixing it.
SKYBOX REFLECTIONS This is a neat trick I did in my last engine and I’m happy I recreated it in this one. Every single shiny surface reflects the skybox, which while isn’t realistic, it does make those surfaces look a lot more shiny than what they actually are, which is a great hack. It sure as hell looks better in the environments I make.
FOG Yeah I just added fog because I thought it would look cool in my game. Obviously it’s over the top in this image because I wanted to show it off. I’m pretty proud of this one, definitely one of the more complex post-processing effects.
I made a few minor tweaks to fog, and I started debugging it, which I ended up completely stopping and reverting, as it was useless. To be honest I’m really trying to find where this 27 minutes appeared, because I don’t remember spending half an hour on this
Ships:
GVK (short for gungu vulkan) is my new renderer using the Vulkan graphics api. I miss the times when I worked with pygame and love2d, where rendering an image was one simple line of code, and I intend to bring that experience to 3D with this project. Everything is designed to be as easy as possible for the user, just writes gvk::draw_mesh(mesh, material, position, scale, rotation); and the mesh is where you want it, how you want it. But don’t mistake it, this is not a game engine, this is just a renderer, something you can build an engine on. I made this tool so my later projects have a graphical backbone to build on, but every game needs a different engine. Ever since I started graphics programming last year I knew that one day I had to learn Vulkan if I ever wanted a job in it in the future, and I’m very proud of myself for finally doing it. This was the greatest challenge I faced in programming so far, and I so glad I tackled it. And as for AI: This project was created so I could learn Vulkan, and if I copied everything from AI that would have been to effective. My goal was to use as little AI as I could, while still leaving out the headaches of development. Here’s what I used AI for: Many of the shaders were written by AI, but that’s because I haven’t learned any of the maths I need to know to write any of these shader. When a shader wasn’t too math heavy I wrote it myself, but there weren’t too many of those. The GLTF loading isn’t hard, it’s just a headache to work with it. GLTF is a horrible format for developers, but it’s the best I knew, so I rather had AI write the GLTF loading functions. I’m still glad I did that, I would have learned nothing from writing those.
This is the second ship of my game engine / renderer. To explain, I like calling it a renderer instead of a game engine, because I purposefully tried to add as few bloat features as I could, I just wanted something that made rendering something that I don’t have to think about. More info on the README page, this isn’t a good explanation. Just know that it isn’t just a basic Vulkan abstraction, this is a full renderer with PBR, many post-processing effects, skyboxes, dynamic lights, rigged and animated meshes and frustrum culling ’cause why not. Changelog since the last ship: 2 new post-processing effects, pixelation and fog I also added a feature where shiny objects reflect the skybox, which isn’t realistic, but it adds a great sense of realism and I like to add it to my games. one of the largest changes was turning this into an actual library instead of an executable, which allows easier integration. I also made a full game as a tech demo for this project, it can be found at this link or under my stardance profile. It turned out really well, and I’m proud of myself, because I finally made a game engine that I can actually make games in easily. (The screenshot is from the game) and the smallest but still a significant change was rewriting the entire 2D rendering part of the engine for 2 reasons: it had a memory leak, and text rendering was buggy, slow and barely worked....

I started by working on procedural textures for the building materials. Instead of having buildings use mostly flat colors, I added procedural textures for things like brick, concrete, plaster, metal, and glass. I also added stuff like roughness maps so the different materials react to lighting differently. I did this to make the buildings feel more varied without having to rely on a huge collection of texture files. I worked extra on glass to make it look more like an actual glass facade rather than just a blue colored shiny wall. After that, I moved on to windows. I added procedural windows that are generated based on the building itself, so I don’t have to manually model them or something. I also added different window styles for different types of buildings, so residential buildings can look different from offices and industrial buildings. There were a few problems with the windows. For example, windows were being generated on surfaces where they shouldn’t be, including horizontal faces and things like roof structures or antennas. I added logic to make sure windows are only placed on vertical surfaces and improved the checks used to determine the parts that should receive windows. I also tuned the settings for quite a while till I was satisfied. Once the windows were looking better, I started focusing more on performance. The procedural textures were lagging stuff, so I made some changes to improve performance. I also added chunks to the building batching system. This will make it simple to add tiling later since the performance right now is not really the best and treating the whole map as one big area is the cause of it I think. Next I want to continue adding architectural details, starting with enterances and then balconies.

It makes a pretty big difference compared to having a plain black background. After that I moved on to clouds. I wanted something more interesting than just putting a few transparent cloud textures in the sky, so I ended up implementing procedural volumetric clouds using a 3D noise texture and ray marching using GLSL. The clouds have multiple layers of procedural noise to control their shape and detail, along with a separate procedural mask to give them a more natural form.

I established GeoSim’s initial foundation and built the very basic data pipeline.

Since the last dev log, I’ve mostly been working on improving the appearance and detail of the buildings in GeoSim. I started by working on procedural textures for the building materials. Instead of having buildings use mostly flat colors, I added procedural textures for things like brick, concrete, plaster, metal, and glass. I also added stuff like roughness maps so the different materials react to lighting differently. I did this to make the buildings feel more varied without having to rely on a huge collection of texture files. I worked extra on glass to make it look more like an actual glass facade rather than just a blue colored shiny wall. After that, I moved on to windows. I added procedural windows that are generated based on the building itself, so I don’t have to manually model them or something.

Devlog 1: I started working on a trivia game that has questions about aviation. It will have graphics, but right now i just finished the question adding system: Basically there is a txt file that is structured like this: total number of questions Question1|Correct answe|Wrong answer|wrong answer|wrong answer|number of points … The code reads the number of questions and then adds each thing to it’s own vector for storage. I made it so that the answers to the question would be shuffled each time. There was also a bug where the code wouldn’t read the whole question but only the first word- it turns out you have to use getline. Next i will start Working on some art for the game!
Devlog 2: First i transformed the file that handles question loading into a header file to keep things organized. Then i started adding graphics to the game but there was an issue: the screen was white when it needed to look like in the video - it turned out it was because of a function that was interfering with the screen. Now there is a temporary background and i added a button to see how it would look. Next i will add an intro and work on some art :] Also, the video shows the button changing when you hover the mouse over it
Devlog 3: I started working on the intro, which is some text fading to black.I had an issue where the screen would go from white to black instantlly, but a minor tweak to the code fixed it. I also added the more button and drawn some other ones. Next, i will focus on macking the gam itself and then the menus. ;]
Before i start with the devlog, i have a problem : yestarday morning i saw that where it would normally say the time logged it said couldn’t load time. I checked hackatime and it had a problem with the server - whatever. The part that bugs me happend later when the servers came back up and i could make a devlog.

Devlog 4: i have drawn some of the buttons neccesary and added a close one that closes the game. In my other games the exit button was rectangular, but for this one i chose to make it round since it takes less space and looks a bit better in my opinion. Next i will make a custom font spritesheet and make the quiz part of the game. :]
Devlog 5: I made a spritesheet for the custom font and it works. i also made the play button functional and it currently displays only the first question when you click on it. There is a problem tho: the answers never get reshuffled after each round. Also there was a problem with the font because each letter is 5x5 but M was 6x5. It took me a bit to realise. Next i will work in the quiz part !
Devlog 6: I started working on the quiz game itself. I added 4 boxes where the answers will be. If you hover the mouse over them they become highlighted. When pressing on one of the, if the answer is correct, the box becomes green. If you press the wrong one it becomes red and the right one becomes green. There was a bug where after you already selected something you could select more boxes. Next, i will add more questions and a score counter.
Devlog 7: I finished the quiz part of the game! Now the game shuffles the question order. After you give your answer the game waits 3 seconds and the procedes to the next question. First i didn’t shuffle the question order, but when i wanted to add that i forgot to clear a vector and to update a variable which led to some time spent debugging. I also made it so that the exit button becomes highlighted when you hover over it. next i will work on the art and the menus. :]
Devlog 8: For this one i just rearanged the menu buttons from the middle to the down-left. I also spent quite some time painting the background image. Side note : something i don’t like about stardance is that for software projects it only counts the time spent coding. For this image i spent like an hour making it but only the 2 minutes spent adding it counted which drives me crazy. Whatever, next i will start working on the other menus :]
Devlog 9: firstly there was a bug where if you pressed on the upper side of the play button the game would kinda glitch because you would also click on the bottom selection box of the quiz. i tried adding a timer but didn’t since i already knew i needed to move the question more to the middle so i just did that.

Next i will change the quiz’s background and i should really start working on the menu. i also need to think about other background for the other menus. Any idea is appreciated :]
Devlog 10: I started working on the menus. first of all i removed the airplane from the quiz part of the game. The i added a stats menu that displays numebr of right and wrong answers, games played and the rate at which you make right choices. right now it is just a menu and it can read from a file with the stats. next i will need to make it so that the game updates the variables every time you play.
Devlog 11: i added a couple of things . First of all, now the x button on the right closes the game in whichever part of the game you are. i added an arrow in the left that returns to the last menu. Next i made it so that the variables for the stats page update correctly and are saved. I also started working on the more button that takes you to a menu in which you currently have 2 buttons - feedback and more games - which do exactly waht they sound like. next i will try to finish the more menu and work on reformating the score display + a reset stats button. :]
Devlog 12: i worked a bit more on the more menu. i added a credits button that takes you to a menu where you can see where are all credits. there is also an how to play button that takes you to a menu where you can see an in dept guide about everything in the game. But due to the font spritesheet not having some things it sound kinda rudimentary. I wrote only the first section of the guide. next i will finish the guide and add 50 questions. I also made it so that every x button closes the game and there are now arrows to navigate the menus. :]
devlog 13: I finally finished the how to play menu. I wrote it thinking about the final game some some things that i wrote about are not yet implemented. it has 6 sections: buttons, playing, customizing, settings, achievments and commands. I dindn’t manage to add 50 questions but now we have 11 instead of 3. there was a minor bug where if you pressed an arrow to navigate the how to play section it would jump some of them. The fix was putting else if insted of just if. Next i will add a feature letting you pick how many questions you have in the quiz: between 1-25. And i will work on the terminal commands i want to add :]
Devlog 14: I added all the commands that you can input in the terminal of the game. i wanted to use cin, but the game would freeze. I did some research and found out i needed to use multiple CPU threads. after i found out how to do that i just needed to add all commands to the game. Also, now when a file is missing the game also tells you the name of the file.Next i will probably add settings or some more questions :]
Devlog 15: I added a feature that lets you pick how many questions you want: between 1 and 25. I also added the settings page which right now let’s you only toggle a button that makes the game skip the intro. I also dont’t think i will be able to finish the game and polish it before stardance ends. I don’t think i will do the advancements page or the SFX for the buttons. I will add them with some more questions but later. Right now i will add music, finish the Settings page, add a button to reset the stats.
Devlog 15: I finished the first version of the game. I added some chill music and a reset button. I will prepare the game for release now :]

added a weather command /gb-bot-weather. it fetched the weather data for 5 cities and has a dropdown you can select from. it took longer than i thought it would and i also had to look up the community to help me fix bugs.

#1 - Had a domain lying around, so I thought, why not put it to some use? so basically i wanted a temp mail service. nothing crazy, just something that works fast and especially no ads . been sitting on the idea for a while and finally started it this week. first 2 days were basically me fighting cloudflare email routing. had no idea how workers could intercept emails before this. like the concept is simple but actually getting it to work took way longer than i expected. the worker handles everything now. creating mailboxes, storing incoming emails, serving them through the api. used hono for routing which is surprisingly nice for workers. postal-mime for parsing the raw email content. d1 for the database. pretty straightforward stack honestly. Still need to build the frontend properly but the backend is solid.
#2 - For the ui i went with shadcn but not the default one, im using the coss ui variant which has nicer colors and the components feel more polished. the buttons and inputs have this subtle shadow thing that looks clean in dark mode. for state management im keeping it simple, just storing the address and recovery key in localStorage. on first load if theres nothing in storage it auto creates a mailbox. the key is needed for every request so without it you cant read any messages. when you delete the mailbox it clears storage and resets everything. right now the ui has a header with refresh and delete buttons, an input group showing the address with a copy button. gonna add the inbox next…
#3 - Now i needed rate limiting because without it anyone could just spam the API and create like a million mailboxes which would be really bad. so i started looking into how to do this with cloudflare workers because thats what im using and they have this fancy Rate Limiting Binding that looked really clean. you just add some config to wrangler.toml, add the binding to your code, and boom - rate limiting. so i added the bindings, deployed, tested… and nothing. like the binding was there, wrangler showed it in the deploy output, i could even see it in the cloudflare dashboard. but when i actually hit the API with like 8 requests in a row, every single one went through. no 429s, nothing. i spent way too long on this. i was reading the docs, checking if my plan supported it, checking if the binding was actually being called, trying different keys… nothing worked. the binding just silently does nothing. like it deploys fine but then just… doesnt do anything? i dont even know whats wrong at this point. so after giving up on the official way, i just went with D1. yeah the database. im literally storing rate limit counters in a sql table which is… not great for performance obviously because now every single request has to do a database query just to check if youre rate limited. but hey at least it actually works. so right now every POST to /mailboxes does a SELECT on the rate_limits table, checks the count, either increments it or creates a new row, and THEN does the actual mailbox creation. so youre looking at like 2 extra database queries per request just for rate limiting. its not ideal but its what i got. hopefully i figure out the cloudflare one someday because this is genuinely a worse solution in every way except that it works. but for now it prevents abuse so whatever. anyway thats where im at. rate limiting works but its slow.
#4 - To add a way to export and import mail sessions, i added two buttons in the header. one for export, one for import. export was pretty simple. to import, we read the file, parse the JSON, and then validate it. validateSession function checks if the object has address and key and that theyre both non-empty strings. now i wanted two different states: if the file is valid -> show a warning “this will overwrite your current session, u sure?” if the file is invalid -> just show an error with the Alert component used AlertDialog from cossui for both. the valid one has a Cancel and Continue button, and the invalid one just shows the error in a red Alert and an OK button to close also had to make sure the dialog state is controlled with open and onOpenChange because otherwise it wouldnt close properly after importing. next up i wanna work on the inbox and make it actually look good when theres no emails
#5 - Did a lot of cleanup. first thing, the refresh system was kinda broken? so i had to refactor the whole countdown logic in use-refresh.tsx to use a ref flag instead. also figured out that messages were being fetched TWICE. like useMessages had its own refetchInterval: 5000 AND useRefresh was doing the same thing with its own interval. so now useRefresh is the single source of truth for polling and i removed the redundant one from useMessages. also cleaned up a bunch of stuff that was just… messy: extracted validateSession, exportSession, and STORAGE_KEY to lib/utils.ts because they were duplicated across files the delete button had no confirmation dialog, now it has useCopyToClipboard had a timeout leak where if you copied twice fast the old timeout would still fire. fixed that with a ref the delete handler now reloads the page after success so it auto-creates a new mailbox also the countdown was ticking even when there was no session (like after deleting) which made no sense so now it checks if a session exists before counting down anyway thats pretty much it. next up i actually need to get the inbox working
6th - Another cleanup session. moved message fetching to tanstack query so i could delete like 50 lines of manual polling code. fixed the notification sound not playing (browser autoplay policy is annoying). fixed delete mailbox clearing localStorage even when the server request fails. added error handling in a bunch of places where it was missing. removed dead code. tanstack query is really nice once you set it up but the default behavior around networkMode: "online" and staleTime can bite you. the query just silently skips if youre offline which is confusing thats it
#7 - it’s done the inbox now says “Pulling Emails” until the first fetch is done. way less confusing. added a small note in the footer that mail takes ~10s to show up bc most mail clients hold ur email in a queue for 5s before sending. and i spent way too long on scrollbar-gutter not working in chrome. works in firefox. anyway the project is actually finished now. it opens fast, it doesn’t freeze, and im not touching it anymore. thanks for reading i guess, this is the last one. gg

mail.swrg · a fast, minimal, disposable inbox Every sketchy site wants your email before showing you anything. That used to mean either handing over your real inbox to the spam pipeline or juggling slow, ad-infested temp-mail sites with clutter everywhere. I built mail.swrg: a fast, minimal disposable email service. What it does: One click → instant random address like [email protected] Incoming mail shows up automatically Clean inbox UI: dark, distraction-free, zero ads, zero trackers Keep / reuse your address across sessions with one-click export & import (save the session file, load it anywhere later) Wipe — delete the entire mailbox anytime, nothing lingers Everything runs on Cloudflare edge: Workers, D1, Email Routing Why I’m being honest about “fast”: mail takes about ~10 seconds to appear. Most mail clients hold outgoing messages in a queue for ~5s before actually sending them, and the inbox refreshes every ~5s after that. So if you test it and nothing shows instantly, give it a second. It’s on them, not us....

I basically redid the whole thing to make it feel way more like my own project and less like one of those super polished AI-generated websites. I changed the design completely and went for more of simple yet clean green and white aesthetic. Even though i had not used ai that much in the code while building the site in the end the website still came out too vibecoded so i had to like basically remove the WAYYY TO AI features to make it look more as if it was manually coded. It kept getting flagged for ai by the stardance reviewer so i jst decided to remove the ai features completely and work on my other features.

This is a website that i have personally made for students it includes alot of features such as Planner,Assignments,Focus Time,Study Statistics,etc. This website was built in vscode using html and it was built for a stardance project. This project was made so that students can track their studys and also improve over time with their stats....

Writing the code - still not finished
Today I started working on one of the bigger features for Pulse Website: NASA data. I integrated NASA’s public API and began experimenting with pulling useful data directly into the start page. The main goal was to make the website feel more interesting every time it is opened, rather than showing the exact same information every day. Getting the API responses working correctly took some debugging, especially around loading states and handling the data returned by NASA. I also worked on fitting the new information into the existing UI without making the page feel overcrowded. This is probably one of the coolest additions to Pulse so far, and I want to expand the NASA features even more.
Debuging code
Today I added a timer feature to Pulse Website. I wanted the timer to be something I could quickly use without opening another app or website. I worked on the controls for starting, pausing, and resetting the timer, while also making sure the display was easy to read. I tested the timer several times and fixed a few small issues with the controls and countdown. It fits nicely alongside the other utilities on the start page and makes Pulse a little more useful for everyday tasks.
Today I worked on adding weather information to Pulse Website.

I worked on handling the API response and displaying the information in a way that fits naturally into the existing layout.

Ships:
What I Made I built Pulse Website, a clean, lightweight, and customizable start page designed to replace your browser’s default new tab page. It features an instant-load layout, custom menu navigation, aesthetic UI designs, dynamic weather integration, and NASA API data fetching. What Was Challenging Debugging & Refactoring: Spending hours hunting down edge-case bugs while refining the UI layout and responsiveness. API Integration: Fetching and processing data smoothly from external sources (like NASA APIs and weather tools) while keeping the page lightweight and fast. UI Design: Balancing custom aesthetic designs with a minimal, clutter-free user experience. What I’m Proud Of Logging 78 total hours across 11 devlogs to build a full custom solution from scratch. Successfully integrating real-time weather and NASA API features. Creating a fast, zero-bloat start page that loads instantly on every new tab....

I added a Sleep Scheduler to the macOS app. Users can choose days, hours, and minutes, then force the Mac to sleep when the countdown ends. It saves the last schedule, works from the menu bar, and includes lid-closed and sleep-disabled safety options. What was challenging? The hardest part was connecting the scheduler to existing power-management behavior safely. The app must restore disabled sleep settings before forcing sleep. I also had to keep the menu-bar countdown current, detect lid changes, save settings, and prevent conflicting scheduler states. What are you proud of? I am proud that the scheduler feels integrated instead of separate. It reuses the native pressure-and-hold steppers, keeps control positions stable, restores saved values on startup, and gives useful menu-bar feedback. The safety conditions make it more practical for real MacBook use. What should people know so they can test your project? Download, extract and open Sleep Disabler.app , then configure the Sleep Scheduler with a short duration. Ensure the pmset permission rule is enabled first.

Added an optional closed-lid condition that prevents starting the scheduler with an open lid and cancels an active scheduler when the lid opens. Added an optional sleep-disabled condition that only permits scheduling while Sleep Disabler is active and cancels the scheduler when normal sleep is restored. Added scheduler documentation to the README. Changed Updated forced-sleep handling to restore disabled sleep settings before issuing pmset sleepnow . Rebuilt the distributable Sleep Disabler.app bundle with the scheduler changes. Fixed Enabled continuous press-and-hold tracking for the native scheduler steppers. Fixed the scheduler control layout so numeric-width changes do not move the stepper arrows.
Ships:
This is the most lightweight sleep disabler on Earth. Works on any apple silicone (M1, M2 etc) Mac. Solved the annoying Macbook Pro notch block problem! Unresolved : no Apple Developer account to sign/notarise the .app bundle so you will have try launch the app, then go to Settings -> Privacy & Security, scroll to the very bottom and click allow.
Added 2 new features: Battery failsafe - configure the battery level to force your Mac to sleep so it doesn’t hard shutdown from low battery. Lid Dimmer - turns display brightness to 0% when the disabler is activated and the laptop screen is closed. Very useful to save power (~2-5w on display), and prevent OLED burn in for the rumoured M6 Macbook Pro! Lid Dimmer arrows have trackpad pressure sensitive adjustment precision! Very cool!!! Fixed the show window button glitch where it would summon a window every time you click it, resulting in a “infinite window” glitch.
What did you make? I added a Sleep Scheduler to the macOS app. Users can choose days, hours, and minutes, then force the Mac to sleep when the countdown ends. It saves the last schedule, works from the menu bar, and includes lid-closed and sleep-disabled safety options. What was challenging? The hardest part was connecting the scheduler to existing power-management behavior safely. The app must restore disabled sleep settings before forcing sleep. I also had to keep the menu-bar countdown current, detect lid changes, save settings, and prevent conflicting scheduler states. What are you proud of? I am proud that the scheduler feels integrated instead of separate. It reuses the native pressure-and-hold steppers, keeps control positions stable, restores saved values on startup, and gives useful menu-bar feedback. The safety conditions make it more practical for real MacBook use. What should people know so they can test your project? Download, extract and open Sleep Disabler.app , then configure the Sleep Scheduler with a short duration. Ensure the pmset permission rule is enabled first. Test menu-bar quick start, saved values after relaunch, lid-open cancellation, and the sleep-disabled condition. Avoid testing if you have unsaved work!!!...

start my game project it as taking a shape step by step excited to complete as soon as possible
a Space War 180° arcade-style game where the player controls a spaceship using WASD/arrow interface of the game
This project is a space shooting game where the player controls a spaceship and shoots incoming enemy objects. The game includes enemy targets, bullets, stars, and player movement, creating an interactive arcade-style gaming experience.
Implemented mobile responsive joystick that responds with touch the layout is flexible with screen size and grid system for smooth and interactive experience
Implemented alerts system that warns when health is less than 40% and fixed first option in rewards for more gameplay
finally my golden space war game is ready to launch make a try and cross my highest record all suggestions and improvements are accepted

The interesting part wasn’t the code, it was figuring out what the game actually rewards, because once I read the manual carefully the “obvious” strategy turned out to be wrong. The 2026 game has two goals (suppression and extinguisher), both worth 1 point per ball. Looks symmetric. It isn’t. Only the suppression goal gets multiplied by your end-game climb, and the climb multiplier is shared across all three robots on your alliance (three robots at the top zone multiply your combined suppression total by 1.9). The extinguisher, meanwhile, is a shared global pot that all six robots including your opponents feed and all six receive. So feeding the extinguisher barely helps you win. The whole tool is built around surfacing that asymmetry, because it’s the thing that’s easy to get wrong by just reading the point values. How it’s built: there’s a pure scoring engine (no UI, no network, no AI, just math) that I can actually test, sitting behind a React frontend that just renders its results. That separation meant I could later do a full visual redesign without touching a single line of the math. The engine composes a cycle (travel, intake, travel, deposit), reserves time for the climb, floors the number of full cycles that fit in 150 seconds, applies accuracy and reliability, and then runs the real scoring formula with the climb multiplier. Everything’s shown as arithmetic, not just a final number, so nobody has to take it on faith. The trust gate is the part I’m most deliberate about. Before any result is shown as real, you pass a “verify and lock” screen that lists every scoring number in plain language next to what it means. Editing any value automatically un-verifies the config, and unverified results get stamped “do not trust” everywhere. This is because the entire engine is only as correct as the numbers I typed in from the manual, so one transcription error has to be catchable, not silent. Two features I’m happy with. There’s an alliance screen where you change each robot’s climb zone and watch the shared multiplier move live, it makes the “coordinate your climbs” insight visible instead of theoretical (in my worked example, sharing the multiplier across the alliance instead of each robot climbing for only itself is worth about 94 points). And there’s an archetype comparison built specifically to settle a debate on my team: some people thought a storage bot feeding human players was a good plan. So I modeled three strategies through the same engine with a live slider for human-player speed. You can crank the human feed rate past anything physically plausible and the feeder strategy still loses, because its points are unmultiplied and shared. That’s a much better way to win an argument than just asserting it. It’s a free static site on Cloudflare, 58 tests, no backend. Honest limitation I’m keeping visible: it models a robot in a vacuum, no defense, no congestion, no ball scarcity, so it’s for relative comparison and the two big decisions (climb or not, what to improve), not absolute predictions.

WebOS Browser DevLog 001 •I said I’ll be working on Fluetro again, but I changed my mind. •So now I am making this project as a Browser that one can easily customize and integrate in their own WebOS using iframe. •Also, I am making the apps that are supposed to be included in Fluetro OS separately because it’s becoming difficult for me to handle so many variables in the js, css and html, so I am ending up reusing multiple names due to my weird variable naming scheme. •Here’s the progress so far, did some of the html, enough to get to this point, and used iframe to include use my Fluent New Tab project as the New Tab page for this Browser. •Did some of the css so the buttons in the top bar look different than our conventional HTML buttons.
WebOS Browser DevLog 002 •Completed the CSS (still haven’t started working on the JS) so it looks kinda normal •Found out that Bing is the only search Engine that works in the iframe environment •Right now, opening a link just opens it in a real browser tab, so I’ll have to work on that and see if it’s possible to open those in this environment. •Doing this while watching a series so it takes more time and ppl don’t complain about the time it took me to make the project while reviewing.
WebOS Browser DevLog 003 •Somewhat did the JS •Now the refresh button and home button do the exact same thing •Address Bar works for supported websites •Somehow the Error screen doesn’t work, it just gives a black screen on error, which is possibly due to me not doing the JS correctly. •The Pinned Sites and other functions on the New Tab work as intended, no issues there(even though it calls upon your browser’s dialog box for it)
WebOS Browser DevLog 004 Had to come back to this, since this is one of the Fluetro apps Changelog Removed Fluent New Tab integration Added google as the Home Page/New Tab page Added a bookmarks bar, since Fluent New Tab was removed and there won’t be a Pinned Sites section The back/forward buttons only work if you travel between websites using the bookmarks or address bar The version of google I am using here is a specific one that supports iframe so typing www.google.com or similar in the address bar will give an error The refresh button actually refreshes the page The Home button takes you to google The address bar only updates when you go from one website to another using bookmarks or address bar The back/forward buttons and address bar behave this way because there’s no way for me to fetch the URL running inside of the iframe Possible new features Browser History A hamburger button with a menu, with all the stuff from the address bar inside it
WebOS Browser DevLog 005 Possibly my final DevLog before shipping Changelog Added Browser History Added actual svg-based icons for everything Added a menu for New Tab and History options Added a Share/Copy Link button Added more websites to bookmarks The New Tab button clears your history and sends you back to the Home Page The Back button now becomes disabled when there’s nothing to go back to The forward button now disappears when there’s nothing to go forward to The Refresh button now turns into a cross button when loading (the cross button does nothing new, it still refreshes the page) Made the Top area transparent, and am currently using green color as the background, did this so it can seamlessly transition to the design of the WebOS

So, I just started working on the new game, the Clicker . Code Refinement Okay, so talking about the updates, I did some code refinement . I mean, I just cleaned up some code in the old game. Nothing major, but I thought it would be better to clean things up before moving forward. Clicker Game And yeah, I have started working on the Clicker game . Though it looks too empty right now, I have only worked on the HTML and JavaScript part for now. I guess the main thing I worked on this time was working on the precision. Precision Problem I was trying different ways to count the clicks, and I was facing an issue with maintaining the precision . I was not able to get anything more precise than two digits. For example, something like: 3.7 After the 7 , I could not really attain any significant number. But I did search online and looked at other similar games and found out about the performance.now() in JavaScript, which I didn’t know about before. So yeah, that was a lesson for me as well . (￣▽￣)ゞ Now I can use it to get much more precise timing for calculating the clicks per second. 10 Seconds Challenge For now, I have selected only 10 seconds of time in this game During those 10 seconds, the user can click the button as many times as they can, and the game will count their CPS (Clicks Per Second) . Though this is just the beginning, I’m planning to add lots of things in the future . Current Progress I’ll still add a screenshot of the current progress. Though, honestly, it will be quite empty and blank right now. =D But yeah, this is just the beginning of the Clicker game. That’s It! Yeah, that’s all for this devlog!

Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #16 of Asobi! Final Changes Before Shipping So, the few changes I did before shipping are: Site Icon I have added the icon for the site . GIF to WEBM I converted all the GIFs to WEBM files , as there was some glitche with the GIF files because of which the file size was becoming too large. Because of this, the site’s loading screen was sometimes being shown for over a minute . So, I converted them to WEBM to reduce the file size and improve the loading time. Loading Screen I have also added the same loading screen to the Game List page as well . While the images and game list logos are being loaded, it will now show a loading screen instead of leaving the page empty. I guess that’s it! Finally Shipping! You can check out the game here: https://shrestha-project-08.66ghz.com/ Play in full screen for better experience [Press F11] Also I will attach a overview video of the site You can play the game using the link above.

Okay, so in this update,I have to inform about the bugs fixed and some hosting issue I am facing … Bug Fixes I fixed some bugs related to the scores . Sometimes, scores were not being updated properly , and sometimes I was being redirected from the username page back to the game list again and again . And yes, I did use AI to help me help me spot and debug these bugs. Leaderboard Icon Removed I also removed the Leaderboard sign from the game list . Obviously, there isn’t really a reason to show the leaderboard there because no game has been selected yet , so there is no specific leaderboard to display. Trying to Ship Asobi Right now, I am trying to ship Asobi as soon as possible , but I haven’t been able to find a reliable hosting site yet. Previously, I used InfinityFree , but due to some problems, I am currently unable to properly ship the site using it. To be more precise, I uploaded a GIF that is around 700 KB , but as soon as I reload the file manager in Infinityfree, for some reason its size increases to around 6 MB . Because the file becomes much larger, the loading time also increases, which makes the site feel slow adn laggy . I found another hosting service as well, but I forgot its name. I will mention it below once I remember. (AwardSpace) The problem with that one is that it **doesn’t provide SSL certification for free **, so the browser keeps showing warnings such as “Not Secure site” . So yeah, if I find a reliable hosting service, or if the problem with InfinityFree gets fixed, I should be able to ship Asobi really soon . Loading Screen One more thing I added is a loading screen . For now,I have only added it to guess.html . README Update I have also added the credits to the README regarding the loading screen design =) That’s It! Yeah, that’s pretty much it for this devlog! If you didn’t understand something or if you think I didnt explain anything properly then please do tell me in the comments, and I will try to explain it again. Also, if anyone knows a reliable hosting site that supports PHP and SQL , please do tell me in the comments. That would be a great help ! Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day! =)"}, {"post_id": 53788, "ts": "2026-08-24T14:21:36Z", "hours": 6.1097, "text": "Asobi Devlog #14 Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #14 of Asobi! So this time, I have tried to move almost everything to the backend . Moving Everything to the Backend Previously, things like the number generation, checking, score calculation, and results were handled on the frontend. But that had a pretty obvious problem. When I created this type of game previously, some people would simply console.log the random number and get the correct answer almost like i mean everytime. And Some people even executed the saveScore function themselves (╥﹏╥) So, to avoid that this time, I have moved almost everything to the backend . The number generation, checking, score calculation, and other important game logic are now handled by the server in the backend. Lets hope everything will be fair now (ᵕ—ᴗ—) Best Score on Difficulty Levels Along with that, I have also made some visual changes . Previously, the best score or rather, the number of tries was displayed as plain text at a constant place . Now, whenever you click on a difficulty level, your best result will be displayed at the bottom-right of that particular level label . I will attach a image below , I guess thats the only image i can show for this update (ó﹏ò｡) It shows the lowest number of tries in which you have ever completed that difficulty level. And obviously, the lower the number of tries, the better . Points System And I also wanted to make one thing clear. Yes, this time I have used a points system instead of directly using the number of tries for the leaderboard. Let me explain why. Previously, when I made this type of game, I used the number of tries to determine the ranking. For example, if the Beginner difficulty is from 1–10 and you completed it in: 1 try → Rank 1 2 tries → Rank 2 3 tries → Rank 3 And so on… But there was a problem with this system. A lot of people were able to complete the lower-level difficulties in just 1 try . This meant that there could be around 8 or 9 people with Rank 1 on some of the easier levels , it kinda made the rank 1 less special or look cheap tbh. Technically, that was fair, but it didn’t felt quite right. It was something like , Once you got Rank 1, there was also basically nothing more to achieve . So this time, I implemented a points system . The basic idea is: Lower number of tries = More points This gives players more room to compete instead of simply having multiple people stuck at the same rank and maybe also encouraging them to collect more points. ##Responsiveness I will be honest about this , I am not really good at making sites responsive so i took the help of Gemini for making the site responsive. That’s It! I guess thats it, So yeah, that’s basically what I have added this time. Also,I thought of shipping it by today but there is another bug (sometimes the score is not being saved and it is requiring me to logout and login, i honestly havent still figured it out why its happening yet, But I am hoping to fix it soon and Also ship it soon. I hope I was able to explain everything clearly. If something was unclear, please tell me in the comments, and I will try to explain it again. Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day! =)"}, {"post_id": 52831, "ts": "2026-08-23T05:57:32Z", "hours": 7.3242, "text": "Asobi Devlog #13 Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #13 of Asobi! Okay, in this devlog, I would say there are quite a few additions , but I assume these two can be considered the main ones. Sign Up & Login The first major addition is the Sign Up and Login feature . When you try to log in for the first time, you will need to create an account first. You don’t really need to verify your email or anything like that. I did think about using OTP verification , but I felt like that would be a bit too much pain tbh So, I tried keeping it simple .૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა You just need to: Enter a unique username Enter a password Confirm your password And you’re ready to start playing! That’s basically it. Leaderboard Time Filters Apart from user authentication, another major and somewhat time-consuming addition was the leaderboard time filter . Now, you can change the leaderboard based on different time periods: Last 24 Hours This Week All Time I thought this would be better because someone who is new to the game shouldn’t have to immediately compete with someone who has been playing for a long time. With the Last 24 Hours leaderboard, new players at least have a chance to compete and get themselves onto the leaderboard. Other Small Changes There are also a few other smaller additions and changes. I have changed the color of some text , including the numbers, and made some other minor visual adjustments. I have also changed some of the text throughout the game . These changes aren’t anything too significant, but they should be noticeable. New Game Banner And finally, I have added a banner for the next game that I will be working on later. The game is going to be a The Clicker . I will be updating it soon, but for now, I’ll be skipping this project and working on other parts of Asobi first. That’s It! And yeah, I guess that’s it for this devlog! I will be working on making the site calculation , like the generating and checking number saving server side so that no one cheats like before (╥﹏╥) .(old story short , I have made similar game before too where many people cheated as everything was done in frontend but it was deleted and I am making better version of it from the scratch) If anything was unclear please tell me in the comments and I will try again to explain .

So, umm… the main change—or addition, I would say—is the Hint Reaction . Hint Reaction GIFs GIFs are always fun, so to make the game more interesting, I have added GIFs to the game. But their role is actually more than that . For Hardcore Mode players (as well as normal players), the GIFs can sometimes act as a Secret Hint . Let me explain. There are a total of 18 GIFs that will be displayed randomly in the game: (The concept is same as my old game which was taken down, but i m trying to make it even better this time) 3 GIFs hint you to guess lower 3 GIFs hint you to guess higher The other 12 GIFs are just for fun This means there is a 33.33% chance that the GIF you get is actually a hint! =) And dont worry you wont be displayed the gifs to guess higher when the random number choosen is lower =). This feature is applied to all levels and modes . Top 3 Leaderboard Texture Okay, the next change is that I have added a sort of texture to the backgrounds of the Top 3 players . This has been added to both: The leaderboard on the main game page The full leaderboard page Difficulty Backgrounds I have also added a little background color to the difficulty levels , such as: Beginner Normal Hard etc. Before it was plain text and honestly i agree it didnt even seems clickable SVGs on the Navigation Bar Another change is that I have added SVG icons to the navigation bar at the top . あそび — Asobi And finally, I added the Japanese text あそび , meaning Asobi , below the logo.

Update I just added a point system and am currently working on a seperate page to show leaderbaord and few other info like total games and stuff. so Let me explain the point system. Each difficulty has base point , if you guess the number in just one try , you get the base point ,and if you do it in more no. of tries/attempts you will lose points. Also there is a limit in how much you will get despite the no. of time you attempt , For an example if you even go like 100 attempts to guess the number between 1 to 10 then you will get at least 2 points in the beginner level . Its different for different level. I will try to make a table below. Difficulty | Base Points | Points Lost | Minimum Beginner | 10 | -1 | 2 Normal | 25 | -2 | 5 Hard | 50 | -3 | 10 Expert | 100 | -4 | 20 Master | 200 | -5 | 40 Impossible | 500 | -6 | 100 #Also The custom games are not eligible for Gaining points This devlog might have gotten abit big.

[The screenshot below is image of site itself] I also added some animated button design on the “Play Custom” button . I will put 2 screenshots if I am allowed to .

Devlog #07 - Asobi (あそび) Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #07 of Asobi. Update I have just completed working on the html and css part of the Asobi username , where username will be asked to the new users[entire js part is untouched right now]. I will upload a short video , i think that might be better than explain the design. I guess that’s it for this devlog. And as always, if anything was unclear in my explanation, then plz comment and I will try to explain it there. Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day. =)
Devlog #08 - Asobi (あそび) Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #08 of Asobi. Update I have completed working on the layout of the gamelist section where all the mini games will be displayed ,currently I have only made Guess the Numeber so i have kept only that for now. Also I have finally started working on the backend (php ,sql). I guess that’s it for this devlog. And as always, if anything was unclear in my explanation, then plz comment and I will try to explain it there. Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day. =)
Devlog #09 - Asobi (あそび) Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #09 of Asobi. Update Finally Database is connected and actually working . I spent half an hour doing everything to fix , but not turning on mariaDB (╥﹏╥) . But anyway Finally the leaderboard is working , but It currently show all the tries , so still need to work on alots of thing, and still have to move the number generation to backend as i dont want to end up like my old Binary Bound . I am still working on backend to conclude , except for a design on the leaderboard players list design. I guess that’s it for this devlog. And as always, if anything was unclear in my explanation, then plz comment and I will try to explain it there. Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day. =)
Devlog #10 - Asobi (あそび) Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #10 of Asobi. Update I just added a point system and am currently working on a seperate page to show leaderbaord and few other info like total games and stuff. so Let me explain the point system. Each difficulty has base point , if you guess the number in just one try , you get the base point ,and if you do it in more no. of tries/attempts you will lose points. Also there is a limit in how much you will get despite the no. of time you attempt , For an example if you even go like 100 attempts to guess the number between 1 to 10 then you will get at least 2 points in the beginner level . Its different for different level. I will try to make a table below. Difficulty | Base Points | Points Lost | Minimum Beginner | 10 | -1 | 2 Normal | 25 | -2 | 5 Hard | 50 | -3 | 10 Expert | 100 | -4 | 20 Master | 200 | -5 | 40 Impossible | 500 | -6 | 100 #Also The custom games are not eligible for Gaining points This devlog might have gotten abit big. Sorry about that, but i need to explain things. Also the main formula to calcualte points Points = Base Points - (Attempts - 1) × Attempt Penalty And as always, if anything was unclear in my explanation, then plz comment and I will try to explain it there. Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day. =)
Devlog #11 - Asobi (あそび) Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #11 of Asobi. Update So, I have finally finished working on the leaderboard page , and i have alos added a score card , which will be helping you understand about the pointing system of the game . I will attach a video below instead of explaining what i just made , i guess that would be much better than words =) And as always, if anything was unclear in my explanation, then plz comment and I will try to explain it there. Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day. =)
Asobi Devlog #12 Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #12 of Asobi! So, umm… the main change—or addition, I would say—is the Hint Reaction . Hint Reaction GIFs GIFs are always fun, so to make the game more interesting, I have added GIFs to the game. But their role is actually more than that . For Hardcore Mode players (as well as normal players), the GIFs can sometimes act as a Secret Hint . Let me explain. There are a total of 18 GIFs that will be displayed randomly in the game: (The concept is same as my old game which was taken down, but i m trying to make it even better this time) 3 GIFs hint you to guess lower 3 GIFs hint you to guess higher The other 12 GIFs are just for fun This means there is a 33.33% chance that the GIF you get is actually a hint! =) And dont worry you wont be displayed the gifs to guess higher when the random number choosen is lower =). This feature is applied to all levels and modes . Top 3 Leaderboard Texture Okay, the next change is that I have added a sort of texture to the backgrounds of the Top 3 players . This has been added to both: The leaderboard on the main game page The full leaderboard page Difficulty Backgrounds I have also added a little background color to the difficulty levels , such as: Beginner Normal Hard etc. Before it was plain text and honestly i agree it didnt even seems clickable SVGs on the Navigation Bar Another change is that I have added SVG icons to the navigation bar at the top . あそび — Asobi And finally, I added the Japanese text あそび , meaning Asobi , below the logo. That’s All! I guess that’s all for this devlog! If anything was unclear, please do tell me in the comments, and I will try again to explain it. Thank you for reading, and have a nice day! =)
Asobi Devlog #13 Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #13 of Asobi! Okay, in this devlog, I would say there are quite a few additions , but I assume these two can be considered the main ones. Sign Up & Login The first major addition is the Sign Up and Login feature . When you try to log in for the first time, you will need to create an account first. You don’t really need to verify your email or anything like that. I did think about using OTP verification , but I felt like that would be a bit too much pain tbh So, I tried keeping it simple .૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა You just need to: Enter a unique username Enter a password Confirm your password And you’re ready to start playing! That’s basically it. Leaderboard Time Filters Apart from user authentication, another major and somewhat time-consuming addition was the leaderboard time filter . Now, you can change the leaderboard based on different time periods: Last 24 Hours This Week All Time I thought this would be better because someone who is new to the game shouldn’t have to immediately compete with someone who has been playing for a long time. With the Last 24 Hours leaderboard, new players at least have a chance to compete and get themselves onto the leaderboard. Other Small Changes There are also a few other smaller additions and changes. I have changed the color of some text , including the numbers, and made some other minor visual adjustments. I have also changed some of the text throughout the game . These changes aren’t anything too significant, but they should be noticeable. New Game Banner And finally, I have added a banner for the next game that I will be working on later. The game is going to be a The Clicker . I will be updating it soon, but for now, I’ll be skipping this project and working on other parts of Asobi first. That’s It! And yeah, I guess that’s it for this devlog! I will be working on making the site calculation , like the generating and checking number saving server side so that no one cheats like before (╥﹏╥) .(old story short , I have made similar game before too where many people cheated as everything was done in frontend but it was deleted and I am making better version of it from the scratch) If anything was unclear please tell me in the comments and I will try again to explain . Thank You so much Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day! =)
Asobi Devlog #14 Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #14 of Asobi! So this time, I have tried to move almost everything to the backend . Moving Everything to the Backend Previously, things like the number generation, checking, score calculation, and results were handled on the frontend. But that had a pretty obvious problem. When I created this type of game previously, some people would simply console.log the random number and get the correct answer almost like i mean everytime. And Some people even executed the saveScore function themselves (╥﹏╥) So, to avoid that this time, I have moved almost everything to the backend . The number generation, checking, score calculation, and other important game logic are now handled by the server in the backend. Lets hope everything will be fair now (ᵕ—ᴗ—) Best Score on Difficulty Levels Along with that, I have also made some visual changes . Previously, the best score or rather, the number of tries was displayed as plain text at a constant place . Now, whenever you click on a difficulty level, your best result will be displayed at the bottom-right of that particular level label . I will attach a image below , I guess thats the only image i can show for this update (ó﹏ò｡) It shows the lowest number of tries in which you have ever completed that difficulty level. And obviously, the lower the number of tries, the better . Points System And I also wanted to make one thing clear. Yes, this time I have used a points system instead of directly using the number of tries for the leaderboard. Let me explain why. Previously, when I made this type of game, I used the number of tries to determine the ranking. For example, if the Beginner difficulty is from 1–10 and you completed it in: 1 try → Rank 1 2 tries → Rank 2 3 tries → Rank 3 And so on… But there was a problem with this system. A lot of people were able to complete the lower-level difficulties in just 1 try . This meant that there could be around 8 or 9 people with Rank 1 on some of the easier levels , it kinda made the rank 1 less special or look cheap tbh. Technically, that was fair, but it didn’t felt quite right. It was something like , Once you got Rank 1, there was also basically nothing more to achieve . So this time, I implemented a points system . The basic idea is: Lower number of tries = More points This gives players more room to compete instead of simply having multiple people stuck at the same rank and maybe also encouraging them to collect more points. ##Responsiveness I will be honest about this , I am not really good at making sites responsive so i took the help of Gemini for making the site responsive. That’s It! I guess thats it, So yeah, that’s basically what I have added this time. Also,I thought of shipping it by today but there is another bug (sometimes the score is not being saved and it is requiring me to logout and login, i honestly havent still figured it out why its happening yet, But I am hoping to fix it soon and Also ship it soon. I hope I was able to explain everything clearly. If something was unclear, please tell me in the comments, and I will try to explain it again. Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day! =)
Asobi Devlog #15 Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #15 of Asobi! Okay, so in this update,I have to inform about the bugs fixed and some hosting issue I am facing … Bug Fixes I fixed some bugs related to the scores . Sometimes, scores were not being updated properly , and sometimes I was being redirected from the username page back to the game list again and again . And yes, I did use AI to help me help me spot and debug these bugs. Leaderboard Icon Removed I also removed the Leaderboard sign from the game list . Obviously, there isn’t really a reason to show the leaderboard there because no game has been selected yet , so there is no specific leaderboard to display. Trying to Ship Asobi Right now, I am trying to ship Asobi as soon as possible , but I haven’t been able to find a reliable hosting site yet. Previously, I used InfinityFree , but due to some problems, I am currently unable to properly ship the site using it. To be more precise, I uploaded a GIF that is around 700 KB , but as soon as I reload the file manager in Infinityfree, for some reason its size increases to around 6 MB . Because the file becomes much larger, the loading time also increases, which makes the site feel slow adn laggy . I found another hosting service as well, but I forgot its name. I will mention it below once I remember. (AwardSpace) The problem with that one is that it **doesn’t provide SSL certification for free **, so the browser keeps showing warnings such as “Not Secure site” . So yeah, if I find a reliable hosting service, or if the problem with InfinityFree gets fixed, I should be able to ship Asobi really soon . Loading Screen One more thing I added is a loading screen . For now,I have only added it to guess.html . README Update I have also added the credits to the README regarding the loading screen design =) That’s It! Yeah, that’s pretty much it for this devlog! If you didn’t understand something or if you think I didnt explain anything properly then please do tell me in the comments, and I will try to explain it again. Also, if anyone knows a reliable hosting site that supports PHP and SQL , please do tell me in the comments. That would be a great help ! Thank you so much for reading, and have a nice day! =)
Finally, Shipping Soon! Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #16 of Asobi! Final Changes Before Shipping So, the few changes I did before shipping are: Site Icon I have added the icon for the site . GIF to WEBM I converted all the GIFs to WEBM files , as there was some glitche with the GIF files because of which the file size was becoming too large. Because of this, the site’s loading screen was sometimes being shown for over a minute . So, I converted them to WEBM to reduce the file size and improve the loading time. Loading Screen I have also added the same loading screen to the Game List page as well . While the images and game list logos are being loaded, it will now show a loading screen instead of leaving the page empty. I guess that’s it! Finally Shipping! You can check out the game here: https://shrestha-project-08.66ghz.com/ Play in full screen for better experience [Press F11] Also I will attach a overview video of the site You can play the game using the link above. Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you all enjoy! Have a nice day! =)
Asobi Devlog #16 Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #16 of Asobi! So, I just started working on the new game, the Clicker . Code Refinement Okay, so talking about the updates, I did some code refinement . I mean, I just cleaned up some code in the old game. Nothing major, but I thought it would be better to clean things up before moving forward. Clicker Game And yeah, I have started working on the Clicker game . Though it looks too empty right now, I have only worked on the HTML and JavaScript part for now. I guess the main thing I worked on this time was working on the precision. Precision Problem I was trying different ways to count the clicks, and I was facing an issue with maintaining the precision . I was not able to get anything more precise than two digits. For example, something like: 3.7 After the 7 , I could not really attain any significant number. But I did search online and looked at other similar games and found out about the performance.now() in JavaScript, which I didn’t know about before. So yeah, that was a lesson for me as well . (￣▽￣)ゞ Now I can use it to get much more precise timing for calculating the clicks per second. 10 Seconds Challenge For now, I have selected only 10 seconds of time in this game During those 10 seconds, the user can click the button as many times as they can, and the game will count their CPS (Clicks Per Second) . Though this is just the beginning, I’m planning to add lots of things in the future . Current Progress I’ll still add a screenshot of the current progress. Though, honestly, it will be quite empty and blank right now. =D But yeah, this is just the beginning of the Clicker game. That’s It! Yeah, that’s all for this devlog! If you think I did not explain something properly, or you want to know anything about the game, then please do tell me in the comments. I’ll try my best to explain it there. Thank you so much for reading! Have a nice day! (≧▽≦)
Asobi Devlog #17 Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #17 of Asobi! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ Clicker Game Update Okay, umm.. I’m writing this devlog to update you about the The Clicker game of Asobi . So, I have added a basic CSS design to the game. I also tried a couple of other designs as well. . But decided to go with this design . I will add a screenshot below. Currently, I have this one, but I’m still not sure what I’m going to use . I’m still experimenting with the design, so if I change anything, I’ll let you all know in the next devlog. (￣▽￣)ゞ That’s It! And yeah, That’s all for this devlog. If you want me to explain something, then please do tell me in the comments. I’ll try my best to explain it as well. (≧▽≦) Thank you so much for reading, and have a very nice day! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Ships:
Asobi is a site I am planning to make a mini-game collection. It will be containing tones of games in the future and I am integrating full frontend and backend on it especially for the Leaderbaord and login . Along with to prevent cheating on some game like Guess The Number [sorry , i suck at naming (ᵕ—ᴗ—)]. Currently I have added only one game , but It took me more time as I had to make the inital pages like landing , gamelist, leaderboard, signup and more like that. Please consider reading ReadMe on github for detail explaination , I really hope you will enjoy playing the game . Thank you so much for reading , Have a nice day =)...

I’m trying to fix the css and files rn, which is annoying with flask since I have to write a whole {{ url_for(‘static’, filename=…)}} code. Additionally, i’m basing this for an existing website I have built with some friends and are seeing how we make this leaderboard and comparing with each other at the end for funsies. Im probably gonna finish all the styling and then try to add more inputs. I should probably fix the leaderboard styling since its messed up lol.
fianlly made the data list, put it in a table format since it looks much better...
