The biggest challenge I faced was ensuring that all of the formulas produced accurate results while maintaining ease of use. Nobody wants to take a math test to figure out their BMI! I am very proud of my ability to provide users with a simple, easy-to-use app that can calculate all these health metrics as accurately as possible, and provides instant feedback to users backed by real science. To use the app simply enter realistic values for height, weight, age and sex. Play around with different height, weight, age and sex inputs and see how the different health metrics change - itās like an experiment you can perform on yourself without needing a lab coat!...

The app lets users create a local profile, save project information, add links such as GitHub and demo URLs, select the type of project, and choose which resources they want to generate. From one saved project, LaunchPad can generate materials like a README template, a GitHub description, a DevLog, a submission checklist, an AI usage statement, and a project submission text. Users can also copy or download the generated resources directly from the project page. The most challenging part was connecting the whole front-end flow in a clean way. I had to work with React Router protected routes, localStorage persistence, form actions, dynamic project pages, and reusable generator functions. Another challenge was making the app feel simple and useful instead of overloaded, because the main goal was to remove friction from a repetitive workflow. I am most proud of being able to apply the front-end knowledge I have been studying recently and turn it into a complete, working project with a satisfying final result. This project helped me practice React, Vite, TailwindCSS, routing, local data storage, and UI organization in a real use case. I am also proud that the tool solves a problem I personally have when submitting projects: rewriting the same information across README files, devlogs, descriptions, and checklists. To test the project, open the live demo, create a simple local login, and then create a new project. Add a project name, description, type, technologies, GitHub link, demo link, challenges, and what you learned.

This update focused on the project detail flow. I created a dedicated page for each project, updated the routes so users can open a project directly from the dashboard, and added an āOpen projectā action to the project cards.

Ships:
I built LaunchPad, a quality-of-life web app that helps makers organize their projects and generate useful submission materials faster. The app lets users create a local profile, save project information, add links such as GitHub and demo URLs, select the type of project, and choose which resources they want to generate. From one saved project, LaunchPad can generate materials like a README template, a GitHub description, a DevLog, a submission checklist, an AI usage statement, and a project submission text. Users can also copy or download the generated resources directly from the project page. The most challenging part was connecting the whole front-end flow in a clean way. I had to work with React Router protected routes, localStorage persistence, form actions, dynamic project pages, and reusable generator functions. Another challenge was making the app feel simple and useful instead of overloaded, because the main goal was to remove friction from a repetitive workflow. I am most proud of being able to apply the front-end knowledge I have been studying recently and turn it into a complete, working project with a satisfying final result. This project helped me practice React, Vite, TailwindCSS, routing, local data storage, and UI organization in a real use case. I am also proud that the tool solves a problem I personally have when submitting projects: rewriting the same information across README files, devlogs, descriptions, and checklists. To test the project, open the live demo, create a simple local login, and then create a new project. Add a project name, description, type, technologies, GitHub link, demo link, challenges, and what you learned. After saving it, open the project from the dashboard and try generating, copying, and downloading the selected resources. All data is stored locally in the browser using localStorage, so no real account or backend is required....

I have now started work on this by creating the manifest.json file and some other boilerplate like a very small README.md and added the MIT license.

Will start by doing a bookmarking feature (like adding a favorite button that you usually see on social media). This is my first time making an extension so it will hopefully be fun and interesting.
Managed to write it up a bit, now added a favorite button, however I am facing a small problem with alignment relative to the other SVGS. Will focus on debugging this for now, and then continue towards actually making an UI to browse saved posts or even make a small server in Python to allow users save them remotely.
I decided to change the location of the button as I spent too much time being unsuccessful in trying to line it up with the others. I also made it such that newly loaded posts are also updated with this button via the MutationObserver API (Thank you StackOverflow). This is how it looks like so far. Next I will focus on making an UI to add actual saving functionality to the buttons and make some kind of server to be able to store bookmarks āin the cloudā.
For the last hour or so I had realized a big problem with the current implementation, which is that the Stardance app uses Turbo, which apparently in this case acts like a SPA (Single page application). Truth be told, I had to make more use of AI here than I usually would (however I did not copy paste code or add anything which I didnāt first check or understand) as I have not been personally faced with this problem before, however I was aware of this challenge from previous projects or blogs read.

Now the Player can collect coins!
I expanded the map and made a background
I added an enemy that looks like a slime. It goes right to left in a certain area bouncing off of walls. If the slime collides with the player the playerās dies and their game resets.
Added a Dying Effect: When the player collides with the slime , it falls off the map and dies.
New changes: I removed the original default key map Added my own keymap Player can be controlled using WAD and arrow keys. When the player moves left, the spriteās h-axis flips to make it look like itās actually walking left.
New Changes: Text added to give directions At the end the game tells you how many coins you collected.
New Changes: Added background music to the game Made the background music as a scene so it doesnāt reset if the player dies
Ships:
Iām very proud to present my first ever video game! I made this game on Godot, its a basic platformer game where a knight parkours his way through the map to collect coins and avoids enemyās that can reset the game. Even though this game is very basic, Iām still proud of it since I learned a lot from it and I can use the skills I learned in this for the future....

I did get my bot working on nest 24/7 but, since I was not complete the bot, I had to continue working on it. I donāt know how but, I completely had forgotten how Nest had worked and spent my time testing the bot locally. When I first tested the bot, running the /pass command gave a frustrating error saying the app did not respond. Looking at the code, I found out the biggest mistake was on the very first line of the /pass block. I wrote await ack; instead of calling it as a function with parentheses like await ack(); . Because of this, the bot never sent that quick acknowledgement back to slack, Slack waited for three seconds and gave up. Right after that, I fixed a bug where the code tried to clean up the command text without checking if a user actually tagged anyone. When someone typed just /pass by itself, the text was blank, causing a fatal crash that broke the whole game loop. I added a safety check to use an empty string if no text is found. I also noticed my success message used regular quotes instead of backticks, which broke the user tag formatting, and fixed a simple typo in my error handling that was causing secondary crashes. I finally remembered to log in to my SSH, pull the code from Github, and update .env file with MY SECRET TOKENS >:) and setup a systemd file to keep the script running in the background.

Setup & Code - Slack Bot I followed the tutorial where it teaches you how to make a Slack Bot.

This bot currently has no theme and has the same exact commands given in the tutorial. I will give it a specific theme and more commands to make it more fun!
Bot Purpose & Code I finally got an idea on what to make my custom Slack bot based on. I decided to make a hot potato slack bot called Potatpheus. Hot potato + Orpheus = Potatopheus. I set up global variables like gameState and friedLeaderboard to track the game data. I built a function called getRandomSeconds to handle the fuse timing, which works directly into my main explodePotato function to reset the game and log the loss when someone blows up. I added the slash command on the Slack APi called /drop-potato to begin the game. During testing, I encountered a problem which was if someone decided to start a new game while one is already going on. In order to resolve this issue, I used a conditional if statement to check a boolean flag inside my global gameState dictionary and then exited early using a return statement. Specifically, inside the /drop-potato command handler, I set up a restriction that checks if (gameState.isActive). If that boolean evaluates to true, the code uses Slackās respond function to send a message back to the user (āA game is already active!ā), and then directs itself to the return statement to stop itself. This stops the rest of the execution from reaching the setTimeout, ensuring no duplicate timers get created. I will work on the leaderboards and the pass function now.
I spent this session going through lots of trouble. I did get my bot working on nest 24/7 but, since I was not complete the bot, I had to continue working on it. I donāt know how but, I completely had forgotten how Nest had worked and spent my time testing the bot locally. When I first tested the bot, running the /pass command gave a frustrating error saying the app did not respond. Looking at the code, I found out the biggest mistake was on the very first line of the /pass block. I wrote await ack; instead of calling it as a function with parentheses like await ack(); . Because of this, the bot never sent that quick acknowledgement back to slack, Slack waited for three seconds and gave up. Right after that, I fixed a bug where the code tried to clean up the command text without checking if a user actually tagged anyone. When someone typed just /pass by itself, the text was blank, causing a fatal crash that broke the whole game loop. I added a safety check to use an empty string if no text is found. I also noticed my success message used regular quotes instead of backticks, which broke the user tag formatting, and fixed a simple typo in my error handling that was causing secondary crashes. I finally remembered to log in to my SSH, pull the code from Github, and update .env file with MY SECRET TOKENS >:) and setup a systemd file to keep the script running in the background. Soon, I will go back to in to completely finish and polish the /pass command in order to get rid of the timeout errors once and for all. After doing that, I will make it 24/7 and test if the game works. In the end, I will make a leaderboard system to track everyoneās stats on slack!!!...

This one jam packed actually, this is actually starting to look like a game, which is VERY amazing!!! I have implemented a half-done version of the lighting system! Which you can check out in the video above! Whatās new?! Well, a lot is new actually, first of, this is the first preview from the Buku Side of the game, I thought it was long overdue, so here it is! I hope you really like the vibe Iāve made for their areas! I have also added a VERY early versions of NPCs, as you can see from the sleepy little Buku you can find! Along with Particles! all of this makes the game feel REALLY nice and polished, though thereās still much to do. Whatās next for lighting? I want to add Terraria-Like lighting to the tiles, as I think I said before, because I simply think it would look better, and it can hide hidden pathsā¦ You may have noticed the shadows are now pixelated!!! It helps keep the style consistent. I tried to make the lighting pixelated too, but it looked pretty badā¦ So it was ultimately scrapped!

NPCS?! LOOK AT THE LITTLE GUY! I havenāt really implemented the dialogue yet, but I have figured out animations! This is great for bringing life into the game, and I think itāll add a lot of character to all the different starlings youāll encounter through the game.

Yeah thatās all gone, it has been completely rewritten, to make way for CAMERA CONTROLS!!!, this will allow me to add so much more character to the levels, and lays the groundwork for cutscenes! I have also implemented a very early version of lighting! Itās still super early, but you can slowly start to see the vision of this games art direction, which I find very exciting! Camera Controls Yes this is gonna be itās own section, I didnāt recode everything immediately after coding it for nothing. So the camera controls work by having a CollisionObject2D act as a hitbox to detect when your inside it, which will activate certain options the camera controls have. Which I will get into, right now..? So, as you can see from the video, I can control both zoom, and the focus point of the camera, for the zoom itās super simple, just change one value, but the static camera is a little bit more interestingā¦ I added a Marker2D attached to a script, which I can just place anywhere in the level, which has an assigned ID, so if the collision box has an ID of 3, and the static camera is enabled, itāll look for the Markdown2D with the same ID, to anchor the camera to it (I know itās super simple, but Iām still a beginner and Iām proud of it, also sorry if I suck at explaining) Whatās next for the lighting system? I want to add shadows inside of the tiles, kind of like Terraria mainly to hide my horrible tiling skills, and to hide stuff like secret tunnels, I also want to make the shadows pixelated, and be able to add pretty bright lights all around (yeah that dosenāt work yetā¦) NPCs?! I have designed a few NPCs in advance, I have no idea how Iāll use the police officer, so feel free to leave ideas in the comments, BUT I do know how Iāll just the 2 other guys, they are scientist, who both created the cursor characters to steal stardust from the opposite team! How amazing Cutscenes?! This will be the last thing I need to implement (Not really Iām lying) before I start working on the actual levels and main story of the game, I just realised while writing this I still need to make the Stardust Stealing work, add bombs, and add levers and backgrounds, so maybe we arenāt fully there yet.

DONāT DROP IT! Hello again! This is gonna be a short Devlog, since Iāve been mostly working on story areas or writing, so heres a really nice looking area I designed, itāll be used for both campaigns, because I didnāt spend all that time drawing and coding for nothing!
I LOVE STONING Hey! Another short devlog, havenāt had much motivation or energy to work on this project today. BUT I have made some new spritework. Iāve made art for cave areas inside of the Bean campaign, you can see a background tile and a regular tile.
Dialogue System Finished! A really quick update, since I wont have as much time, I have decided to git commit the current build so I can work from school, but before that. I finished the dialogue system!
Dusty in here aināt it? Thatās right! A new Devlog after so long! And you can tell how much progress Iāve done by the hour count. So letās waste no more time and dive in. Death. The player is now capable of dying. I added this because theyre werenāt any real stakes inside of the game, so the best solution was to add the ability to lose some of your progress. Dusty This is a preview from the actual story of the game, these arenāt test levels anymore! Main Menu I have an early beta version of the main menu, its not done at all but its getting there.
Save it! Save points have been added! This is a very exciting revelation indeed. I also polished up some story aspects, and come with a very sad announcement, which Iāll be making right now. The Buku Campaign Will Not Be Coming In The Demo Why? Time. This is the last week of Stardance, and I barely started work on the Campaign Yesterday, and I donāt wanna deliver some half-assed story campaign, so Iād rather just release with one than with 2 unfinished and clunky versions. Save Points?! Yes Indeed! You can save and load between 3 Save Files, This demo isnāt very long. But the full game will be, so I figured Iād add this. Secret Things Thereās something you donāt know about in the caves, and letās just say its very shiny...

Imported assets Made player animations Created input mapping and fixed specific buttons for movement Defined collision to the player and added physics Fixed a bug where the player wouldnāt be affected by gravity
I fixed the animations where the animation was very slow, and also fixed the looping animations for one time animations. Made the tilemap and started working on a basic level for the player Fixed some bugs where the camera was not working properly and also the player would phase through the tiles so i added a collision to it
Made changes to player mechanics Made the camera smoother and better Added decor to the level Completed making the level with design and added a mechanic where u can go through tunnels for a 2nd pathway Fixed bugs with player movement
Added Parallax Effect with 3 layers which creates a 3d effect (took me a lot of time) Wiped the level design and starting new bcs it didnt fit with parallax and kept causes bugs bcs of y axis issues Fixed the camera where the player would glitch when running
Made some level design and added decor. Fixed the bug where the parallax effect would glitch when transitioning. Also imported sign posts assets for decor....

I got the bot working! People who say āthanksā or āthankā or āthxā followed by pinging someone will give that person 1 rep point.

I donāt know what exactly I changed to fix it, but the bot started recognizing new messages sent in the channel after I added all the permissions the guide said to add.
Added the /rep-bot-profile command which queries the database for your points + the amount of people that have more points than you and then tells you. Next up: a leaderboard command
So, I got the leaderboard working..kind of. The leaderboard works and shows the top 10 people, but the āNextā button to show the next 10 people doesnāt work. Why? Who knows? Slack just complains of something being wrong and doesnāt give many details about what exactly is wrong.

Eyyyy! Whatcha look at that! Editing the leaderboard works now. so, I had to switch from using respond() to client.chat.update() which makes no sense to me but okay sure whatever it works now. Then, there was an error about duplicate action IDs which I used Gemini to figure out the fix for: Slack wants a unique action to be performed by each button so you need a new event handler.

Okay, maybe I lied a little bit. There are a few more updates I want to make. I talked with Evan about adding it to #code and #hardware, and he agreed HURAYYYY YAY YOPRGLK ERL:G JRLSKJ KRLSHG KJWRHGKJ WEJHK SJ:GJK But he also made a few suggestions which I will be implementing.

Alright, this is the last feature before Iām deploying this bot for testing. Iām adding this feature as an explaination for how the bot works and to remind people that the bot exists. This message is only posted when two conditions are met: it has been a day or more since the last message AND 20 more messages have been posted since the last message. I created a database table that tracks the amount of messages that have been sent in a channel since the last message and I have a while loop that queries the db to check every second.
Heh. I lied. I donāt know where the time went. But I added a register command so that the first initial āhow do I thank peopleā can be printed. The old bot message is also deleted when a new reminder message needs to be printed. The message ID is stored and then stored in the database along with what channel the message was posted in. When a new message is posted, the old message from the channel is looked up and deleted.
I fixed a bug that let you thank yourself, fixed the leaderboard going into the negatives, and renamed ārepā to āpointsā because I felt like ārepā was something that signified trust. Answering more questions does not mean youāre more trustworthy. To prevent someone from thanking themselves, I made sure that the person theyāre trying to thank and the person that sent the message in the first place are two different IDs
I changed the code so that the name of the bot (and the name of the commands) could be changed via the .env file so that I could create a separate rep bot demo account for the bot so that the people that will be voting on my project wonāt mess up the main db for the rep bot. I also added an explaination/error message when someone tries to thank themselves so that they donāt think the bot is broken....

Trash Bag Asset for Game Environment
Water Gun for my game! Textures will come next but I wanna have a few models upfront before texturing!
Fizzy Sea Concept! One of the parts of the Game and title screen background concept! The guy siting under the palmā¦ thing is the main character with a water gun and the big glowing thing on a rocky island is A Beacon with a special purpose!
Oil Monster Boss Concept Concept Art for Materials, 3D Model and Animation
Prototype Model For The Boss. Materials are allright but the model might be a little rough around the edges but that is fixable in animation part.
Fixed Some Code! I removed blur and fixed the camera movement in 3rd person! Try out what I did in the demo!
BurninWag is a min enemy that will appear throughout the game and this is a 3d model of one of 3+ variants. The idea is that this variant will be in a areas on the map and once it spots the player it throws fireballs on the player. When shot with waer it will turn into a pile of bones but if the player stays in one place for too long, the bones will reignite and reform into a fresh BurninWag that will attack the player again!
I made a raft where my games Tutorial testing Map will be happening on!
I made a few assets for my game! Fence will (try) to keep the player (you) from falling (on accident), The tree will grow Cocoa on it and the cocoa will be shot with water making it fall and when you eat the Cocoa you gain health! as for Lifebuoy, it will just be a decoration on the side.
A Fish Can that will have physics so it can be knocked over with a water gun.
A watter bottle that will be given physics code to be shot at!
I have placed the player character into the game! This is Barnaby! The main character of my RPG game! I him into the game and had a lot of trouble with positioning him to not gloat or walk inside the floor! At the end I managed to get him to the floor and now its time to add animation and functions!
I made a shorts for my character to wear. It looks rough around he edges but it will look good in engine!
Texturing and Modeling Clothes! The physics will be added in engine! But for now I like how clothes turned out (Even if I might change them laer) Currently, clothes feature A cap and a shorts!
I added a water gun and shooting mechanic to my game.
I HAVE ADDED PHYSICS Mainly I made it so when you shoot the cans and bottles, they actually get physics. On paper it sounds simple and it is, until for some reason theyād just fall on their side before getting shot, so I had to make them not have physics until shot!
I have cocoa fruits to the trees and gave them physics, making them fall off when shot and I added a āDrowned Screenā that shows when you fall off the platform with a functioning āTry Againā Button! I have tried to animate health to be bubbles that pop but I didnāt finish it.
I have built a few things today! First, I optimized my trash bag models and put them on the map to fill in the empty space. I added armature to my enemy model and tried a little bit of posing with it. Made a new WaterBlast shooting ability (took a lot of time on that), I had problems with it but menaged to code it out. And finally added a few minor fixes to the drowned screen like stoping error messages and updating the drowned screen a tiny bit.
Today I fixed the shooting ability a little bit, I have added tutorial signs, fixed some collisions that didnāt match objects and a few code checks.
New Map I made a base mesh for the ship that will be in the next scene/stage/level of my game, had some trouble recording this lapse due to Blender crashing while I was messing with polygons (My mini pc wasnāt built for this ;-;). I am proud of how it all turned out BUT itās still undone. The plan is that my character will walk around the ship doing chores. The ship will be the first real story related level after tutorial!
Optimization So first thing I did was optimize the trash bags because they had a ton of polygons, then I optimized the ocean around the rafts because it was lagging the packaged game a lot, then I adjusted the lighting and added shadows which took more time than I wanted! I went through pain to get the shadows working.
First I modeled and textured a barrel for my game, then I placed some placeholder textures on the ship I have modeled to see what I want, then I added the barrels to the game and I made a Game Pause Function and an option to quit game! Also I adjusted the crosshair to match the shooting area.
I have made custom textures for the Rafts and Targets in my game, switching from temporary templates. had complications where I had to reimport assets multiple times to get them in the engine properly and I was having a lot of changes of mind when it comes to color shades!
I made a Projectile (Fire Ball) model and texture in blender that will be thrown by a BurninWag (Skeleton on fire) who is one of the main enemys in the maps of my game. It was really painful and took me a while because Red parts are meant to glow on their own and I forgot to save a few times which caused the textures to disappear and black out (Which made me wanna cry a lotā¦) which made me have to redo everything a bunch of times!
Menu Update I made a few more options to od in menus in game, when you pause game, you have more resolution and frame options and in death menu you can quit game!
TUTORIALS! I have drew some textures for new tutorial signs: One that shows that with mouse you turn your head. One that shows WASD Walking controls. One showing that pressing C changes camera view.
Ships:
I made mechanics for a game I am making in unreal engine! Current mechanics feature WASD movement, Shift for sprint and 2 cameras that switch when pressed C, switching from 1st to 3rd person. The most challenging part (and the part I was most proud of) was figuring out the 3rd person camera movement because the code didnāt let camera move vertically at first but now it does!
Fizzy Sea, Ship: 2 I added a WHOLE NEW MAP that include animated water, a tree (That will have a function later on), fences and targets to shoot! I also added the ability to shoot with left click! The blue spheres are projectiles you shoot! The spheres are placeholders for water shot from a water gun! When you change the camera to third person (by pressing C), you can see the main character model is included with a water gun attached to his wrist! Animation for walking, jumping and shooting will be added later on (When I figure out how in the world animation works), but for now he stays in a T-Pose! The game is still in progress but Iām working as best and fast I can! :3
WHATS NEW IN MY GAME! Shootable Canzzzz and Bottlezzzzz New UI (Crosshair and Health Bar) Tutorial Signs! COCOA PODS!!! That you can shoot off the trees New shooting ability where you shoot a bigger water ball! (It has a 3s cooldown) Trash bags!ā¦.. they just sit there and take up space to fill in the map! Much more coming SOON!
The game got a few key functions, changes and optimizations! -The game is more light weight due to water optimization! -The map had some changes with more stuff added to it like Soda barrels and an additional cocoa tree! -Now when you press P, a pause menu appears where you can quit game! -Assets like Rafts and Targets are now re textured! -Lighting optimized for better appearance! Crosshair more accurate! WAY MORE STUFF COMING SOON!
New Ship! I have got some feedback on performance of the game by you guys so I updated this Tutorial Level that I am currently making to make the gameplay better! :3 I made a bit of rearrangement of buttons and changed the Open Menu key to ESC instade of P! I added a Button to Resume Game (earlyer you could only quit, now you can resume) I added a button that sets FPS to 60 Max (If you want and the game is lagging). 2 buttons that sets your resolution of your screen (50 or 100% of your full screen) If you fall off and drown (if you fall off you will automatically drownā¦ the Fox canāt swim (yet)). Now when you drown, the Drown screen also has a Quit Game Button! The Game is still far from done, but ilI will get to designing main level after the core mechanics, animations and Tutorial map are done so everything goes smoothly! :3...
