JUST CODED MY FIRST FAKE OS IN GAME 7 hours in and absolutely zero regrets i created my first ingame OS from scratch. I got desktop icons, windows you can drag around, and a working taskbar. never tried anything like this so it was basically a live speedrun of learning biggest win: slapped a free Windows 95 icon pack on it and now it genuinely looks like a legit retro OS instead of just ugly gray boxes also just added a grab mechanic so you can physically pick up objects and spin them around biggest bug: wasted 20 minutes thinking the click logic was broken :( turns out only the icon TEXT was clickable not the actual image lol next up: making the whole OS feel cursed. icons glitching out, files changing their own names. 😈
8.5 HOURS LATER: 3D PRINTER WORKS + OS FIXED spent 8.5 solid hours on this and honestly my brain is fried. finally got printhead and hotbed animated with a shader so models build layer by layer. syncing the movement was absolute pain but watching it print is insanely satisfying 🔥 added a bouncy physical print button and a grab system. once it finishes u can actually pick up the printed model as a real physics object finally fixed the annoying stuff: windows got classic win95 headers taskbar has icons and grabbed objects dont clip through walls anymore built a real file explorer reading disk files.

Finally… Maybe… 🥲
DISCORD CLONE + THE HORROR ACTUALLY STARTED built a full discord-style chat app from scratch. typing indicators message bubbles and it looks so sick in the win95 theme also made a win95 mail client . file explorer now reads straight off the real disk so adding content is literally just dropping a file in and the horror system went live. finished a chat, checked my files later, and a text file had silently renamed itself. added a notification sound next: writing the actual story since the skeleton is basically done
SENDING REAL PHOTOS IN CHAT + SLEEP SYSTEM u can now physically take a pic of the 3d print and it saves to disk. in chat u just open the file explorer and send the actual photo. built a working sleep cycle too. walk to bed camera does a nice eyes-closing fade into a NIGHT 2 screen. so the story actually progresses now instead of just looping the same day forever funniest bug: realized my in game file explorer let u type “/” and browse my actual irl computer files. patched it but for like an hour my horror game had a literal zero day vulnerability lol added proper sound design everywhere. next: writing the story for night 3 + 2since all the tools are finally ready 📝
NIGHT 3 FINISHED + MAIN MENU + TERMINAL built the main menu and its honestly my fav part. not a boring menu screen but literally ur monitor in the apartment. night 3 u wake up and the 3d printer is ALREADY running even tho u didnt queue anything and a terminal appeared terminal app has 4 commands - help ps clear and kill oh and the printer is making a hand. scaryyyy 👻 and in night 4 the hadn move into a room next to the livingroom next: night 4 - more body parts I’m sorry for the low quality video but it was too large :(
NIGHT 4 IS NOW THE ENDING cut nights 5-6 and made night 4 the finale instead. it’s tighter and actually scarier than the original 6-night plan would’ve been the thing built from the printed pieces finally shows up in the room. it turns its head to look at you if you get close, then the lights flicker and it’s gone. added a proper scare sequence too - see it once through a window, then somewhere else it’s right behind you. screen goes black next: finishing the ending
THIS IS THE LAST DEVLOG —————————————— finished the ending. you end up seeing everything through a screen from the other side, watching “him” sit down at the desk you’ve been sitting at the whole game. there’s a voice line now too (ElevenLabs), and two different ways it can end depending on what you do in the terminal went through and fixed a genuinely embarrassing bug where photos silently failed to save on a fresh install because the folder never existed. found it the hard way, glad I caught it before shipping it’s live: playable in browser on itch.io, Windows build on GitHub releases this is my last devlog for this one. never made a horror game before this, first version wasn’t scary at all according to a friend, and honestly that stung a bit. rebuilt a good chunk of it because of that. really happy with where it ended up thanks for reading these

So Basically Heres how it Works -> The User runs a Startup Script The Script Takes a Screenshot Everytime the User Presses CTRL+CLICK or CTRL+ENTER and Saves it. After going through all the Steps, the User Presses CTRL+ESC to End the Recording. After this, a New Script Is launched which loads in these Screenshots and then Uses a VL (Vision Languag) Model to Extract the User Intent. After going through all the imgs, the Data Extracted is passed through a more “Intelligent” Model which Compiles it Into a Guide. The QOF Improvement is that the It Removes the Boring task of telling someone “press x and then Click Y” till they finally Get it The Major QOF improvements are : Zero manual Screenshoting or Cropping No Manual Writing Steps Easy to Follow Guides and Allow Screenshots to be Directly Attached. No Manual Making of python Environment etc. So the Challenging Part was to get the Fricking Wayland Screenshot Working Cuz wayland wont allow Some script to Take Screenshots. Also another thing was Getting the Models to Cooperate and Stop “Hallucinating” Random Output The thing I’m Proud of the Most is that I was Able to Get the Wayland Screenshot Working and Also How I implemented the Paralled AI model Contacting Architecture for speed. So To try Cue out, You Just Click Try Project it will download a ZIP file, Extract that and Open the Folder. In the Folder Run “Cue_Windows.bat” for Windows and “Cue_Linux-Mac.sh” for Linux or Mac.

DevLog_6 So My dum Brain found out that Python Envs cannot just be “Packaged “ and Used on another Computer Sooooo I Updated the Startup Scripts to Make One On startup. Also IDK why but my dummahh tried to Retrain a local 2B pretrained Model but after getting 1 Epoch in 2 HOURS I just Lost Hope and Dumped the Idea.
So I was Finally Able to get Pyrunner Working and Make the Godamm executables for Linux and Windows. Well Finally after 22 Hours of Working and a dead Pen Drive (Idk why tf its Firmware Got erased) I finally Completed Cue
So I Found out that One of the Model I was Using Was Not Capable of the Task 🥀🥀, So I Updated the code to Use New Capable Models and also Retry If the Model Could not Extract the Data. And Now I gotta Wait Till Tommorrow Till I can ReMake the Windows Exe File (I use Linux soooo) 😭😭😭
So I Broke it Again , the Models were Broken So i Just Updated the Models and Increased The Number of API Tries to 15
So I noticed that I had put the AI usage to None in the beginning but later i used it to find some bugs etc and make the startup scripts so heres my AI usage if you wanna know
So my ship was rejected as I had used AI to generate the UI, so i just worked on the new Ui and some Bugs.
Ships:
So I Made Cue - A Multi OS Compatible Tool which Allows the user To Make Guides which is as Simple as Runing a Script in the background, Doing Whatever You want to Record, Use CTRL+CLICK or CTRL+ENTER to record the steps and Done!! So Basically Heres how it Works -> The User runs a Startup Script The Script Takes a Screenshot Everytime the User Presses CTRL+CLICK or CTRL+ENTER and Saves it. After going through all the Steps, the User Presses CTRL+ESC to End the Recording. After this, a New Script Is launched which loads in these Screenshots and then Uses a VL (Vision Languag) Model to Extract the User Intent. After going through all the imgs, the Data Extracted is passed through a more “Intelligent” Model which Compiles it Into a Guide. The QOF Improvement is that the It Removes the Boring task of telling someone “press x and then Click Y” till they finally Get it The Major QOF improvements are : Zero manual Screenshoting or Cropping No Manual Writing Steps Easy to Follow Guides and Allow Screenshots to be Directly Attached. No Manual Making of python Environment etc. So the Challenging Part was to get the Fricking Wayland Screenshot Working Cuz wayland wont allow Some script to Take Screenshots. Also another thing was Getting the Models to Cooperate and Stop “Hallucinating” Random Output The thing I’m Proud of the Most is that I was Able to Get the Wayland Screenshot Working and Also How I implemented the Paralled AI model Contacting Architecture for speed. So To try Cue out, You Just Click Try Project it will download a ZIP file, Extract that and Open the Folder. In the Folder Run “Cue_Windows.bat” for Windows and “Cue_Linux-Mac.sh” for Linux or Mac. Ensure that python is Installed and For Mac The Program has Permissions (In more detail on github Readme)...

Even after reloading the portfolio performance part just doesn not work until you click on the one month or 3 month bnutton ( I have no clue why but this is on nest only) then it works The nest caddy does go down, like it did jstu at the time of writing this, so if it does happen to go down during the review, please check through tradesims.onrender.com, where the website is still upp Thats all.

I faced another error with color of the start but that worked out This led me to my next problem Stocks not in database Whenever i called yfinance on dashboard for market movers and trending stocks it might not be in the database This led to issues whenever I tried to wishlist those stocks or visited them it failed Now Ive made a function to check if a stock is in the database, if its not, it updates top stocks and now it can be accessed The same goes for the search bar, if theres no stock present then you can search for it, and if yfin has it, it adds to stocks and is forever accessible and updates just like all other stocks Deploying This IS THE HARDEST PART OF ALL Im not even sure how its working. but it is Ive used redis and Supabase for the cache and database respiectively Redis is mostlyto recude dependence on yfinance so taht i can reduce requiests, prevent rate limiting And uptime robot is for monitoring and keeping the webstie up.

I simply got the values from the Datapased and parsed it instead of the placeholder array Current Bugs While the stock listed is itself part of the users wishlist, the pricing, change percent and sparkline are currently totally fake To fix this ill have to get the stock data update it in the database and create a function to do this every 10 miins or so Recent Transactions Here too, the data is simple parsed from backend and sybstituted instead of the placeholder array. These values however in the database, are obviously made up. The purpose right now i to simply get the data, cause then if i upload it i am guaranteed to get it Problems faced The Buy tag inside the transactions section was very uncooperative I later realised that it was due to the capitalisation of the tag in the database wheras the JS reciever expected it in lowercase, and rejected it, hence printing it as sell Everything I learnt API selection. Oh man! Theres so many parameters to check for and so many pros and cons and ups and downs. I should have probably evaluated all of that before actually starting to build the endpoint; It would probably have saved me an hour or two Capitalisation, i mean i knew it was important, but still. Spellings and capitalisation gave me a headache 😭😭😭 ~ [ I really gotta improve my typing accuracy] Data sttructuring designs matter a lot more than i thought. When creating the dashboard, all i thought was, what all do i want. BUt then i realised alter, that its more about what all will the backend send and i should have structured it accoring to that; It would also have saved me some time Even tho i did plan everything well this time, i did slip out at a few places; like the 0 Change error in my main section is caused due to the way i made my backend There is a lot more, but most of it has been covered in the problems sections, which obviously meant learning about everything that meant wrong, so im not going to repeat it all here Role of AI During this time, AI did not write any code. ALl implementation is my own work; Ai merely acted as a debugger for some of my issues Moreover, it helped me progress though my plan in stages that actually made sense It also stored all of my past mistakes and issues and designs so i could easily refer them and write the code Next Steps First, obiviously, just fix all the bugs in the Updated version once thats done, i plan to create a way for users to actually quote and buy stocks.

This data is rendered through markets.py file inside services Problems faced Initially, I thought of using finnhub as the provider due to its generous free tier and live data. This however did not work as the candles required to generate the sparkline of each graph were not included in the free tier of finnhub Next, i consider Alpha Vantage as my data provider. This idea was quickly scrapped due to its sparing free tier of 25 requests/day which would be exhausted in mere minutes I briefly considered a mix of Finnhub and Alpha Vantage to get the best of both worlds, but the lag between responses and the limit for alpha vantage were still limiting So finally, i went with a mix of Finnhub and YFinance, and i thought it was the best combination. However, again, it lagged, it would not render properly. And besider, apart from the 15 mins delay, which, lets face it, is not game changing for a simulator, YFinance offered everything i needed, and also it had good documentation i could refer to My final data feed comes from YFinance and yahooquery, which I am quite proud of Current Bugs Sometimes, there is still delay in the response, and im confused cause its very rare, and othertimes its not… Im still working on it Trending Trending API is still in progress, i havent been able to get it to work with the current data, but ill get it done by the next journal Progression Chart This is simply a chart that is dynamically created based on past portfolio worths of the user. Not many problems were faced here, thank god. It was fairly strightforward Market movers The greatest gainers and losers, by day and percentage, are shown here. (Theyre the market movers after all 😅) This part was a considerable pain to get to work properly, particularly when i was using Finnhub, becuase it was very hard to find the gainers and losers, atleast for me.

Creating Django Models, Admin Page & Connecting Frontend Pages to Database Hours: 4.5 Objective Create Django Models for backend foundation of TradeSims and connect the Login and Register pages to the backend database. What I Worked On Wrote a markdown file first listing out all the models, fields, and relationships before touching code Translated that into models.py — ended up with 5 models: Portfolio, Stock, Holding, Transaction, Wishlist Portfolio: one-to-one with User, starts everyone off with a $100k balance Stock: symbol, price, exchange, etc. Holding: links Portfolio + Stock, added a save() override so avg_buy_price calculates itself and the holding deletes itself if quantity hits 0 Transaction: logs every buy/sell with balance before/after so there’s a proper trade history Wishlist: User + Stock, made sure someone can’t wishlist the same stock twice Used PROTECT on the Stock foreign keys so a stock can’t get deleted while it’s still tied to trades/holdings, but CASCADE on the Portfolio ones since those don’t make sense without the parent Ran migrations, tested everything through the shell and admin Set up admin.py for all models + created a superuser Defined GET and POST conditions for login and register views Added a component to cleanly display any client-side errors(such as password mismatch) Checked for multiple edge cases such as: Duplicating usernames Password mismatch Incorrect username or password Duplicating email id Created a simple logout form What I Learnt on_delete matters more than I thought — CASCADE vs PROTECT changes a lot depending on whether the child record even makes sense without the parent Doing calculations (like avg_buy_price) inside save() keeps that logic in one place instead of copy-pasting it into views later Constraints like UniqueConstraint/CheckConstraint let the database stop bad data itself instead of relying only on form validation GET and POST methods Login required decorators Fetching data from HTML forms Django USER authentication using authenticate Problems & Rabbit Holes Migration broke when I swapped a CharField (was just storing the stock symbol as text) for a proper ForeignKey to Stock.

Next Steps Research for the most suitable API key given my current website scope Implement its API through a HTML form to fetch JSON data Parse the data and wire it up to backend Create a dashboard with all the user’s data Implement OAuth Buttons Error Pop-ups
MASSIVE CHANGES Hours: 10 The list includes: - User data pulled form database instead of fake values - Live market overview - Daily gainers and losers with live data - Sparklines and growth charts for all stocks - Watchlist dynamically rendered from user’s database - Transactions rendered from database - Portfolio progression chart created from users previous net worths Disclaimer These changes were meant to be distributed among two journals. But due to my absolutely amazing memory i forgot and created all these functions Hence this devlong is gonna be a long one Changes in depth User data Earlier, on logging in, the user visited a dashboard with palceholder name, portfolio, networth etc. This has been updated via the dashboard_api function in views.py to dynamically fetch user data Problems faced Mismatch with the expected json data of the Backend meant that initially the data was not rendering properly, and just returning placeholder data Current Bugs The way the data is saved daily means that there is virtually zero change in the net worth of the indivisual, atleast as far as this section is concerned This causes the change and change percent to always remain at 0 Market overview Yahoo’s YFinance API endpoint has been used to get live market data of the S&P500 , NASDAQ and Dow Jones ETFs. This data is rendered through markets.py file inside services Problems faced Initially, I thought of using finnhub as the provider due to its generous free tier and live data. This however did not work as the candles required to generate the sparkline of each graph were not included in the free tier of finnhub Next, i consider Alpha Vantage as my data provider. This idea was quickly scrapped due to its sparing free tier of 25 requests/day which would be exhausted in mere minutes I briefly considered a mix of Finnhub and Alpha Vantage to get the best of both worlds, but the lag between responses and the limit for alpha vantage were still limiting So finally, i went with a mix of Finnhub and YFinance, and i thought it was the best combination. However, again, it lagged, it would not render properly. And besider, apart from the 15 mins delay, which, lets face it, is not game changing for a simulator, YFinance offered everything i needed, and also it had good documentation i could refer to My final data feed comes from YFinance and yahooquery, which I am quite proud of Current Bugs Sometimes, there is still delay in the response, and im confused cause its very rare, and othertimes its not… Im still working on it Trending Trending API is still in progress, i havent been able to get it to work with the current data, but ill get it done by the next journal Progression Chart This is simply a chart that is dynamically created based on past portfolio worths of the user. Not many problems were faced here, thank god. It was fairly strightforward Market movers The greatest gainers and losers, by day and percentage, are shown here. (Theyre the market movers after all 😅) This part was a considerable pain to get to work properly, particularly when i was using Finnhub, becuase it was very hard to find the gainers and losers, atleast for me. Problems I faced Spellings mismatch with exact wording of the data the stock returned Issues with perfectly parsing it in the exact format required by JavaScript [What can i say, my typing is just that good] It was so bad that i did not even push my changes to github for this part YFinance for me somehow made this quite simpler and i was able to get it running. Thankfully, no errors presently
Note This is an extension of the previous devlog, at in all it was too long to fit inside one 😭😭😂😅 Watchlist This was again, fairly straightforward. I simply got the values from the Datapased and parsed it instead of the placeholder array Current Bugs While the stock listed is itself part of the users wishlist, the pricing, change percent and sparkline are currently totally fake To fix this ill have to get the stock data update it in the database and create a function to do this every 10 miins or so Recent Transactions Here too, the data is simple parsed from backend and sybstituted instead of the placeholder array. These values however in the database, are obviously made up. The purpose right now i to simply get the data, cause then if i upload it i am guaranteed to get it Problems faced The Buy tag inside the transactions section was very uncooperative I later realised that it was due to the capitalisation of the tag in the database wheras the JS reciever expected it in lowercase, and rejected it, hence printing it as sell Everything I learnt API selection. Oh man! Theres so many parameters to check for and so many pros and cons and ups and downs. I should have probably evaluated all of that before actually starting to build the endpoint; It would probably have saved me an hour or two Capitalisation, i mean i knew it was important, but still. Spellings and capitalisation gave me a headache 😭😭😭 ~ [ I really gotta improve my typing accuracy] Data sttructuring designs matter a lot more than i thought. When creating the dashboard, all i thought was, what all do i want. BUt then i realised alter, that its more about what all will the backend send and i should have structured it accoring to that; It would also have saved me some time Even tho i did plan everything well this time, i did slip out at a few places; like the 0 Change error in my main section is caused due to the way i made my backend There is a lot more, but most of it has been covered in the problems sections, which obviously meant learning about everything that meant wrong, so im not going to repeat it all here Role of AI During this time, AI did not write any code. ALl implementation is my own work; Ai merely acted as a debugger for some of my issues Moreover, it helped me progress though my plan in stages that actually made sense It also stored all of my past mistakes and issues and designs so i could easily refer them and write the code Next Steps First, obiviously, just fix all the bugs in the Updated version once thats done, i plan to create a way for users to actually quote and buy stocks. I also want to create detailed amalysis pages for stocks dynamically, if possible ( I really hope i dont have to change APIs again 😭) Thanks for the read !!
Bug Fixes and live data Hours: 9 What all I completed All Bugs mentioned in the previous devlog have been fixed. All data related to stocks (except for login page) has been connected to stock database so that all data is live Created multiple components for stock details and page ( in development ) Changes in details Live data Finnhub API was scrapped to use only YFinance as the main Data provider. A task was scheduled to run every 5 minutes to update all data to stock database Instead of all pages calling the API for live data, all pages ping the database, which is updated as mentioned above Bug Fixes Live data Pages that now have live data: - Landing page ( Markets page and moving section ) - Watchlist part - Trending stocks ( With sparklines ) - Floating stock cards Problems faced I sometimes got timed out cause I called the API too many times I had to switch to the database metnod so i could reduce api queries. User button This was a small fix, but took a surprising amount of time 😭😭 The logout button is now hidden under the user initial button on top right File cleanup Extra blocks of code, specifically fake js data was removed Fairly strightforward Stock listing page This is still in development I have created multiple components Navbar Details Right panel Buy and sell stocks Related stocks User Ownership Left panel Stock progression chart Conpany overview Finance Company News Statistics Order History All compoenents come together inside a stock page that will be displayed This page is stil under development. I am planning to only use fake data for now, the i will slowly progress to real data from API and database There is very little js that i have written for this part till now, but there are more files planed Everything I learnt Its best to store all data from apis specially if multiple pages need to visit it, cause well then it doesnt reach limit. Revised JS and how to put together animations Again, I already listed everything I learnt and did in the bug fixes :) Role of AP AI only helped he understand the error specifics All code is written by me Current bugs The stock page is not complete(it is far from done) I dont have any rn but theyll pop up Next steps Complete the stock page Connect it to the database Allow for buying and selling FIX ALL BUGS ( They always come ) Thats about it !! Thanks for the read
Im almost done with the stock page Ive been making this stuff for 9 hours now, and I dont have anything to show, but gimme a few hours ill get it done. just the CSS left now
FINALLY THE STOCK PAGE IS READYYYY Hours: 17 Note This is has been a grinddd. So many errors and aaaaaaa 😭😭😭 But the entire stock page with all of its components is currently complete. The entire page uses fake data inside the MockData.js File :) Next i gotta just create the real api endpoints and feed it to the frontend Changes in details The link The url for the stock is in the format: <main-url>/stock/<stock_name> Eg. ( Localhost ) http://127.0.0.1:8000/stock/AAPL/ The top bar Here is the place where the name and stock exchange is listed. Watchlist button is also present here Price, Gain and loss and time is also mentioned Price chart A detailed chart with historical data of the stock witht timelines ranging from 1D to Max About Simply, an about page with details of Stock Stats Displays: Opening and closing price Highs and lows (Last day and past year) Market cap Volume Avg volume Price to earning ratio Earning per share Divident yield Beta IDK how but this will probabaly be hardest to link to real data as ill have to change models too :( Financisls Displays revenue and net income for As bar charts per quarter News Its the news duh Might remove this if i cant link to real data Order history Only of said stock. Straight from dataabse Buying/Selling panel Literally, just a place to buy and sell your stocks that you own. It has its own frontend way of checking if you can afford a stock or not Position card Page to display what the user owns of the stock Has other details like Investment and value Related stocks Shows some more stocks to explore ( currently jst like the ones available in the fake data ) AI AI played a good role here. Helped me debug sooooo many errors and helped in writing certain jss animations and css blocks. All HTML and most CSS and Js was written by me ( Evident by the 17h worktime 🤣) Next Use real data. Test runs Connect stock page to main page Debug (Hopefully thats all) Thanks for the read !!
Making The stock page Have real data Hours: 10 What I did I made everythine from the head to the news get real data from yfinance. Oh and also, one of my friends told me about Trading View so i scrapped my own chanrt and used their library to make an actual candlestick stock chart All changes Chart Scrapped the whole old chart Used trading view js library Actual candlestick chart YFin stock data sends it over an api to the stock page Stock head Gets data from yfin Has a fucntional button where ytou can wishlist and un wishlist stocks Price updates every 5 minutes All other parts The following: - About page - Key statistics - Financials - News - Order history - Holding Position Have been grabbed from backend ( YFin and DB models ) to display data in real time Buy/Sell This is the only part of the page that is not using actual data, its still simulated and yotu cant really buy stuff rn. but soon itll work Role of AI This time, AI was only used as a helper to debug code and check for syntax errors All code was written by me :) Problems faced Once again, the biggest problem here was spelling mismatch between the wesite API and component names and classes and id’s ( We all know how amazing i am at typing) Whats left Making buy and sell possile Transactions update after buying and selling Making a dedicated portfolio and (maybe) transaction page Adding a FAVICON ( omgg i keep forgetting) And thats about it. Thanks for the read !
ONE. LAST. DANCE Hours: 12? 15? 20? (idek 😭😭) What i did Made the entire stock page have real data, you can actually buy and sell stocks now. This also updates transactions and holdings. Brand new holdings page that shows every stock you own. Finally, MY WEBSITE IS DEPLOYED. Try it out now: Visit TradeSims All changes I made Buy and sell card This actually works now. YOu can buy and sell stocks It has both backend and frontend checks for buying and selling capacity Unlike last time it shouws different metrics in the buying and selling panel. Buying power if u wanna buy and stocks owned if you want to sell The buy and sell button also update transactions Holdings page Its a simple page where all stocks are mentioned with their values quantity and P/L incurred. Theres a button to access it from the hero on the dasboard Wishlist I thought it was complete alst time, but when i checked the dashoard i remembered the buttons id added to trending stocks for adding to wishlist This one was slightly hard to do as it took changes in both JS and Python. I faced another error with color of the start but that worked out This led me to my next problem Stocks not in database Whenever i called yfinance on dashboard for market movers and trending stocks it might not be in the database This led to issues whenever I tried to wishlist those stocks or visited them it failed Now Ive made a function to check if a stock is in the database, if its not, it updates top stocks and now it can be accessed The same goes for the search bar, if theres no stock present then you can search for it, and if yfin has it, it adds to stocks and is forever accessible and updates just like all other stocks Deploying This IS THE HARDEST PART OF ALL Im not even sure how its working. but it is Ive used redis and Supabase for the cache and database respiectively Redis is mostlyto recude dependence on yfinance so taht i can reduce requiests, prevent rate limiting And uptime robot is for monitoring and keeping the webstie up. Thats about it. Thanks for the read Tradesims is officialy LIVE
Just fixing deployed website Fixed faqs, removed oauth, wrote the readme and instructions for installation
Fixing all the problems So this devlog is gonna be relatively short, cause it just comprises of correcting all changes requested, most importantly hosting on nest For the project reviewer Theres still a few issues with the website, but these are largely due to the hosting being on nest, cause the render website is mostly fine. Firstly, the whole website is very laggy and all round unresponsive for a few seconds after any press taht requires a query to supabase or redis Secondly, the dashboard does not render properly the first time, so id suggest to click the try again button or reload the page entirely. Even after reloading the portfolio performance part just doesn not work until you click on the one month or 3 month bnutton ( I have no clue why but this is on nest only) then it works The nest caddy does go down, like it did jstu at the time of writing this, so if it does happen to go down during the review, please check through tradesims.onrender.com, where the website is still upp Thats all. Once again, Thanks !!
Yeah, the last wasent the final Anyways, so in compliance witht he changes requested ive rewrote three pages: Hero Login Register Caveat I know it looks really bad, i only really was able to work on it for a limited time, with exam season and all. the Login and register pages’ html were resued(if thats okay) from a previosu project and just suited to this project. Anyways, thast all for this one. Thanks ! Edit I got reply saaaying ive used too much ai, but ive lliteraally sspent the alsat week rewriting three entire pages where ive basically used most of the ai im so confused
It got declined again But no matter, he said to build something to be proud of, so i went digging though my old papers and found the first draft of what i wanted the landing to look like, before i asked ai to make it. Ive made exactly that. detail for detail. With my favourite coloe scheme, back-green/blue-whiteThey told me to make something im proud of, and the way its turned out, i couldnt be prouder. Note to the judges First of all, maybe the way i write my css, with root vars and all, may make you think its ai, but i actually do write that way, casue i learnt to write css through ai. Secondly, time time tracked for this change is less, i put in about an hour and a half extra, but that time i was in a different state and forgot to isntall hacktime on dads laptop, i dont mind the lost time, i just dont want you to judke the time it took me to make this and think its ai cause its too less Thirdly, you asked me to make some of the features myself, and yes ive said it before, but the ENTIRE backend structure is my own. every line, every model every view. Soo yeahh. I made it myself, and im proud of it Lastly, thanks for taking the time to judge the project and read these journals 😁😁 (Ik the last few journals are not as detailed as 1-11, but thats cause exam season doesnt leave me time to write detailed logs)
Ships:
I Have created a Paper Trading Simulator Using Django Framework. Probably the hardest part was deployment, and after that creation of the stock page with real data, cause they both dealt with the yfinance API which is very finicky, but thank god it works...

Since everything happens on the gpu, like from the physics to the rendering, it can handle tens of thousands of particles in real time in the browser without having performance issues. What was challenging for me was moving everything over to WebGPU since before I was just using plain Three.js and stuff. It’s completely different from WebGL and I had to refactor a lot of code, especially how the sim was structured, and then setting up the rendering system. The other big challenge was just making the water actually look convincing. That took quite a while and a lot of tweaking to make it look at least somewhat realistic. Honestly pretty much how the entire thing turned out. The audio reacts to the physics, the water looks good (or acceptable at the very least), objects float and sink, you can sculpt the terrain, then there are wind gusts and you can interact with the water. Every little thing comes together in a way I’m really happy with. Like this project was just a simple particle test I was making just for fun but in the end I actually enjoyed making and playing around with it. Just open the web page. You’ll need a browser with WebGPU support to run it and the controls are pretty much on the screen. You can adjust sliders and stuff and pretty much play around with everything, including adding your own .glb models. Audio might not play immediately since it takes some time to load in the background.", "repo": "https://github.com/RealAbdurRehman/fluid-simulation", "demo": "https://fluid-simulation-sigma.vercel.app"}]...

First I added a simple but good looking sky shader which has clouds and a sun, and then hooked up textures on the loaded models so they aren’t just basic colors anymore. And I also added support for loading your own .glb models and they’ll work in the sim. Relatively small changes but they made the scene look a whole lot better and more interactive. Audio was the biggest change and took the most time, but it was also the most fun. There are multiple layers to it, like the general ambience is pretty much layered water sounds like water flowing sounds, foam sound, lapping sound, bubbles, etc that crossfade based on how the fluid is moving. External objects also create sounds like you can hear them splash in and out of the water or when heavy stuff sinks there is kind of a low rumble. There’s also sounds for water splashing on itself, objects colliding around with other objects, etc. There is also a cool underwater effect where if the camera is inside the water stuff get’s muffled and stuff which is really cool. What’s good is that everything is driven by the physics so everything is dynamic and nothing is being faked. Like each sound is created for a reason. After that I added wind to the sim. Like wind is created using gusts which are scheduled procedurally, so you get calm stretches and then a burst of air. I also added another interaction too. You can now create vortexes using V + left click which is kind of fun and adds more interactivity. I also added sculpting to the terrain. Now you can change the terrain to your liking by using different brush modes like: raise, lower, smoothen, flatten. I also optimized particles check with the terrain especially after stuff had become more dynamic though that was pretty easy to do. Some other small polishes I did was to clean up the settings panel thing among other small stuff. The sim is basically feature complete at this point, so next up is cleaning up the UI and then creating a good README."}, {"post_id": 70222, "ts": "2026-09-18T18:56:06Z", "hours": 8.7947, "text": "Since my last dev log I’ve mostly been working on the water’s visuals. First thing I did was to rewrite the screen space fluid rendering implementation and tuned it a bit to make it look way better than before and less like a bunch of stacked balls and I also added realistic looking refractions too. Then I added proper shadows to the scene, which made stuff look more alive. This bumped the visuals up a lot. Then I worked on caustics. This was one of those features that instantly made the water look ten times better. This took a bit of time to get right but eventually I got it to work and it looks good. After that, I added foam to make the water look less flat and blobby. The water, in general, waswas too perfect and so I added noise to the water to fix that. With these changes, there was a noticeable loss of performance so I had to work on that. Along the way I also cleaned up some of the code especially the GUI control panel thingy since it was getting too extensive so I cut down a lot of things. Then I finally added model support. Before you could only use basic shapes like squares, spheres etc. Now I can load in model files, and use them in the simulation which is really cool. There was also this weird bug where objects would disappear when you switched them around but after a bunch of changes in my code I finally fixed the bug. I also fixed other bugs like water kind of acting weird with the boat spawned which too took quite a bit of time to fix. Next I want to do some scene polish like better background, etc and then finally audio. I might also work some more on the object collision physics since I intentionally kept them really simple but I might not. Depends on how lazy I am I guess."}, {"post_id": 69606, "ts": "2026-09-17T12:18:15Z", "hours": 9.1133, "text": "Since my last dev log I’ve been working on terrain. I started with simple noise on a grid so the particles had something cool to fall and interact with rather than a boring flat plane. Then I had the idea of making the terrain a planet like fluid flowing on it and stuff like that. Actually got it working. It just wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. It made the project overly complex and kind of shift the focus towards the terrain instead of the fluid and made it harder to play with it. And also the fluid would obviously spread around over the planet so you couldn’t even see most of the cool stuff. And I spent a lot of time on that but well I eventually reverted and added a seabed in a box. That made the fluid the focus instead of the scenery and stuff and how it turned out in the end kind of looks dope. Well with the new terrain I spent time making it look sandy and good. I also switched from rendering some stuff as wireframes to actual meshes Shoudl’ve done this before but back then I guess I got lazy even though most of the stuff for that was already set up Water is really what’s been improved. Particles were just tiny colored spheres before, which I guess is okay for debugging but doesn’t look like water. I’ve been building something called screen space fluid rendering instead which just renders every particle as a billboard that always looks at/faces the camera and does some other cool stuff behind.

Right now the physics are like deliberately really simple like objects collide with the container only and can’t interact with other objects and the rotations aren’t even handled well. Once there is a terrain, then I’ll work on them pretty much.
Since my last dev log I’ve been working on terrain. I started with simple noise on a grid so the particles had something cool to fall and interact with rather than a boring flat plane. Then I had the idea of making the terrain a planet like fluid flowing on it and stuff like that. Actually got it working. It just wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. It made the project overly complex and kind of shift the focus towards the terrain instead of the fluid and made it harder to play with it. And also the fluid would obviously spread around over the planet so you couldn’t even see most of the cool stuff. And I spent a lot of time on that but well I eventually reverted and added a seabed in a box. That made the fluid the focus instead of the scenery and stuff and how it turned out in the end kind of looks dope. Well with the new terrain I spent time making it look sandy and good. I also switched from rendering some stuff as wireframes to actual meshes Shoudl’ve done this before but back then I guess I got lazy even though most of the stuff for that was already set up Water is really what’s been improved. Particles were just tiny colored spheres before, which I guess is okay for debugging but doesn’t look like water. I’ve been building something called screen space fluid rendering instead which just renders every particle as a billboard that always looks at/faces the camera and does some other cool stuff behind. Mine works I guess but I still have to improve it a lot. Like I guess the fluid looks more like water but still it looks like a bunch of balls so yeah that’s what I want to focus on next. After that, I’ll add proper collisions between objects, then scene polish, then audio. Audio is something I am excited for!
Since my last dev log I’ve mostly been working on the water’s visuals. First thing I did was to rewrite the screen space fluid rendering implementation and tuned it a bit to make it look way better than before and less like a bunch of stacked balls and I also added realistic looking refractions too. Then I added proper shadows to the scene, which made stuff look more alive. This bumped the visuals up a lot. Then I worked on caustics. This was one of those features that instantly made the water look ten times better. This took a bit of time to get right but eventually I got it to work and it looks good. After that, I added foam to make the water look less flat and blobby. The water, in general, waswas too perfect and so I added noise to the water to fix that. With these changes, there was a noticeable loss of performance so I had to work on that. Along the way I also cleaned up some of the code especially the GUI control panel thingy since it was getting too extensive so I cut down a lot of things. Then I finally added model support. Before you could only use basic shapes like squares, spheres etc. Now I can load in model files, and use them in the simulation which is really cool. There was also this weird bug where objects would disappear when you switched them around but after a bunch of changes in my code I finally fixed the bug. I also fixed other bugs like water kind of acting weird with the boat spawned which too took quite a bit of time to fix. Next I want to do some scene polish like better background, etc and then finally audio. I might also work some more on the object collision physics since I intentionally kept them really simple but I might not. Depends on how lazy I am I guess.
I have made a ton of progress since the last devlog. First I added a simple but good looking sky shader which has clouds and a sun, and then hooked up textures on the loaded models so they aren’t just basic colors anymore. And I also added support for loading your own .glb models and they’ll work in the sim. Relatively small changes but they made the scene look a whole lot better and more interactive. Audio was the biggest change and took the most time, but it was also the most fun. There are multiple layers to it, like the general ambience is pretty much layered water sounds like water flowing sounds, foam sound, lapping sound, bubbles, etc that crossfade based on how the fluid is moving. External objects also create sounds like you can hear them splash in and out of the water or when heavy stuff sinks there is kind of a low rumble. There’s also sounds for water splashing on itself, objects colliding around with other objects, etc. There is also a cool underwater effect where if the camera is inside the water stuff get’s muffled and stuff which is really cool. What’s good is that everything is driven by the physics so everything is dynamic and nothing is being faked. Like each sound is created for a reason. After that I added wind to the sim. Like wind is created using gusts which are scheduled procedurally, so you get calm stretches and then a burst of air. I also added another interaction too. You can now create vortexes using V + left click which is kind of fun and adds more interactivity. I also added sculpting to the terrain. Now you can change the terrain to your liking by using different brush modes like: raise, lower, smoothen, flatten. I also optimized particles check with the terrain especially after stuff had become more dynamic though that was pretty easy to do. Some other small polishes I did was to clean up the settings panel thing among other small stuff. The sim is basically feature complete at this point, so next up is cleaning up the UI and then creating a good README.
This is the final dev log. Like I said in the last devlog, the sim was basically feature complete so this dev log is mostly the cleanup and little UI improvements. I cleaned up a bunch of code by like removing dead code that had jut been sitting and I improved how the controls panel looks. Other than that I wrote the README and finalized the repo by adding stuff like the license and I also added a cool looking favicon. And with that, the project is now complete.
Ships:
Well I made a fluid simulation that runs completely on the GPU using WebGPU. Since everything happens on the gpu, like from the physics to the rendering, it can handle tens of thousands of particles in real time in the browser without having performance issues. What was challenging for me was moving everything over to WebGPU since before I was just using plain Three.js and stuff. It’s completely different from WebGL and I had to refactor a lot of code, especially how the sim was structured, and then setting up the rendering system. The other big challenge was just making the water actually look convincing. That took quite a while and a lot of tweaking to make it look at least somewhat realistic. Honestly pretty much how the entire thing turned out. The audio reacts to the physics, the water looks good (or acceptable at the very least), objects float and sink, you can sculpt the terrain, then there are wind gusts and you can interact with the water. Every little thing comes together in a way I’m really happy with. Like this project was just a simple particle test I was making just for fun but in the end I actually enjoyed making and playing around with it. Just open the web page. You’ll need a browser with WebGPU support to run it and the controls are pretty much on the screen. You can adjust sliders and stuff and pretty much play around with everything, including adding your own .glb models. Audio might not play immediately since it takes some time to load in the background....

ok so ever since the last devlog things have changed i was in a science camp recently so after i came from the science camp i changed the calc style added the new calculators, fixed bugs, checked things and now its almost over
ok so as Iam was in the last step of the lifecalc i tested out all 8 of the calculators fixed a issue in the unit converter that was lead by an extra gap what an idiot iam so after it i finished the markdown file aded the screenshot made the website live and fixed a few other calculation bug
I fixed the broken readme that was being flagged and fixed the picture error i have been getting
Ships:
Ok so I made a web based calculator that makes life easier and smoother its called LifeCalc. It has age calculator, date calculator, BMI calculator, tip calculator, percentage calculator, discount calculator, unit converter and interest calculator. The difficulties I faced was mainly the unfamiliarity with Github. Hopefully this will make life easier....

I added in all of the mechanics that I wanted to into this final portion of the game and it is finally ready to be shipped. To summarize what I did, I made a bite-size castle area where there is a HUGE enemy gauntlet, which contains a final climb to the top of the hourglass that has been tantalizing the player ever since they entered the game. Since the castle is so high up that you can see past the boundary walls, I added a dense fog at the bottom of the castle that respawns you if you fall just in case the player fails any of the challenges. I created one final enemy type, that being an RPG turret, which essentially can shoot tons of missiles that seek out the players. Additionally, the last gun, the sniper rifle, was a fun time to speed develop since I realized that the mouse sensitivity was WAY too high for the player to reliably shoot when the rifle was zoomed in all the way. Due to this observation, I tweaked the mouse sensitivity via scripting so that when the camera is not zoomed in, it has a greater mouse sensitivity than when it is. Furthermore, I finally added a bunch of musical/sound assets into the game! All of the bullets from enemy and player fire have sound effects added to them. Each area also has a unique track to it, making them stand out from one another. While each track may not be musical, I made sure to find a bunch of immersive sound effects to increase the player’s auditory connection with the game. All in all, it feels very bittersweet writing this devlog, as it is the capstone to one of my longest and most passionate projects ever. I’m really thankful to the Stardance team for creating this program, as the community it developed really helped motivate me along the way. Most of all, thank you to you guys as well! Reading your comments and seeing what other people are doing has been really fun the past couple of months. Best of luck everyone!"}, {"post_id": 67858, "ts": "2026-09-14T04:19:41Z", "hours": 6.0667, "text": "Hey everyone, this is probably going to be one of my last devlogs for this project, as it is nearing completion. For starters, I finished the tundra area today, which combined my original idea of 2 separate mountain and “heavy weather” areas. It is a much more open area that the player is free to explore, but requires the double jump and dash to get into. At this point in time, all I really have left to do is create a quick ending area in the form of a castle, where the player will infiltrate the area and get to a giant hourglass at the end marking the finale of the game. I still have to create a new gun for the ending, and I’m leaning towards a sniper rifle. Since the player will have had tons of experience with the right-hand guns for a while, I’m thinking of making the sniper a bit harder to aim but having lots of damage as a tradeoff. Additionally, I added a bunch of snow particles falling from the sky to simulate a snowstorm, and it actually turned out pretty well! Due to occlusion culling, the framerate can actually survive all the snow being generated, and allowed me to create a lot it. Lastly, I added a tiny script that changed the skybox when you enter the area so that it seems cloudy instead of sunny, just so that the snow doesn’t seem like it’s appearing out of nowhere. As a personal anecdote, this project has been really fun to create the past couple of months, and has seriously boosted my design/programming skills (and time management). There will probably be one more devlog before I ship Project Muniris, but in any case I just wanted to share my thoughts on my journey through Stardance here."}, {"post_id": 67111, "ts": "2026-09-13T05:25:35Z", "hours": 8.3, "text": "Hi again fellow devs, over the course of the week I have been working on a bunch of stuff that I am excited to share. First off, I finished up the mine mini dungeon, where the player has to hit switches in order to unlock gates and progress throughout the area. It isn’t the most complex of puzzles but it gets the job done in a 3d platformer/shooter. Secondly, I added in 2 new abilities: the double jump and the dash. Essentially, via giving each player an extra jump whenever they’re in the air, I can enable them to double jump, and when they dash I simply set the non-vertical movement speed very high for a quick moment. I initially had some problems with the dash where it could send you flying upward if you collided with terrain/obstacles, but I mitigated how far up it can send you when you collide with other objects. Past these abilities, I am currently in the middle of a snowfield area, where the players will have to use both of their new movement abilities to traverse the area and make it to their final destination, the castle. I’ve decided to make it so that any currency you collected along the way in the game will be displayed at the end, and you will be able to see both your completion percentage and your total run time. I don’t think the game should take too long to beat, so I’m trying to make it have some replay value along the way. One last thing I forgot to mention was that I spent a bunch of time fixing the jump, since the coyote time would make your jump seem to blast off in the air super high. I know I said I fixed this problem in my past devlogs, but it seemed to keep coming back for whatever reason. Now though, I am happy to say that I fixed the error via taking a deeper look at when the coyote time should reset back to 0.2 seconds (any time above 0 means you can still jump after you fall off a ledge). In total, this game is almost finished, I just have to add 1 more area and give it a thorough run-through!"}, {"post_id": 65758, "ts": "2026-09-11T03:24:26Z", "hours": 5.7667, "text": "Hi developers, I just finished the base layout for the mine system that I am developing as one of the final areas of the game.

Just finished the enemy code to track down the player and try to shoot the player, it has been a little rough with the balancing but development is going well on the programming side.
I just finished the chest system as well as the coin system. Taps are the standard currency and joules are a rare currency that can net you cool items that wouldn’t be available normally.
I am currently working on the 2-player functionality of the code for this game. Since some of Unity’s canvas assets are not built for 2-player unless you update them in a certain way, I have to manually go in and update my scripts to make the world objects function as expected. All in all, development is rocky but progressing.
I just finished integrating the second player’s movement and UI into the game. I made it so that the 2 players share a common magic meter, which is a circular ring in the center of the screen. I try to make the gameplay require cooperation as much as possible via having both players share certain game mechanics such as their magic. With that, I have also finished the enemy tutorial area!
Currently I am working on making a UI system that can fit both players. I have 3 separate canvases all controlled by a main UI Manager script. Basically, there is 1 canvas for each player and then there is 1 canvas that covers both players’ screens.
At this point in time, I finished fixing up the UI system so that the 2 different players are both able to control their separate canvases, while there remains a large canvas that encompasses the entirety of the screen. This can be utilized through the time slower item, for example, as the entire screen is scene through a blue lens when the item is used. Furthermore, I added a house next to a dry lake (at the moment), and will figure out how to add a water mechanic to the game that will require certain items for the players to swim across.

Hello fellow devs, writing this now I realize that this game has gotten to a pretty large scale and I might not have time to finish everything I wanted to do with this game before I ship it.

Hi developers, I just finished the base layout for the mine system that I am developing as one of the final areas of the game.

Hi again fellow devs, over the course of the week I have been working on a bunch of stuff that I am excited to share. First off, I finished up the mine mini dungeon, where the player has to hit switches in order to unlock gates and progress throughout the area. It isn’t the most complex of puzzles but it gets the job done in a 3d platformer/shooter. Secondly, I added in 2 new abilities: the double jump and the dash. Essentially, via giving each player an extra jump whenever they’re in the air, I can enable them to double jump, and when they dash I simply set the non-vertical movement speed very high for a quick moment. I initially had some problems with the dash where it could send you flying upward if you collided with terrain/obstacles, but I mitigated how far up it can send you when you collide with other objects. Past these abilities, I am currently in the middle of a snowfield area, where the players will have to use both of their new movement abilities to traverse the area and make it to their final destination, the castle. I’ve decided to make it so that any currency you collected along the way in the game will be displayed at the end, and you will be able to see both your completion percentage and your total run time. I don’t think the game should take too long to beat, so I’m trying to make it have some replay value along the way. One last thing I forgot to mention was that I spent a bunch of time fixing the jump, since the coyote time would make your jump seem to blast off in the air super high. I know I said I fixed this problem in my past devlogs, but it seemed to keep coming back for whatever reason. Now though, I am happy to say that I fixed the error via taking a deeper look at when the coyote time should reset back to 0.2 seconds (any time above 0 means you can still jump after you fall off a ledge). In total, this game is almost finished, I just have to add 1 more area and give it a thorough run-through!
Hey everyone, this is probably going to be one of my last devlogs for this project, as it is nearing completion. For starters, I finished the tundra area today, which combined my original idea of 2 separate mountain and “heavy weather” areas. It is a much more open area that the player is free to explore, but requires the double jump and dash to get into. At this point in time, all I really have left to do is create a quick ending area in the form of a castle, where the player will infiltrate the area and get to a giant hourglass at the end marking the finale of the game. I still have to create a new gun for the ending, and I’m leaning towards a sniper rifle. Since the player will have had tons of experience with the right-hand guns for a while, I’m thinking of making the sniper a bit harder to aim but having lots of damage as a tradeoff. Additionally, I added a bunch of snow particles falling from the sky to simulate a snowstorm, and it actually turned out pretty well! Due to occlusion culling, the framerate can actually survive all the snow being generated, and allowed me to create a lot it. Lastly, I added a tiny script that changed the skybox when you enter the area so that it seems cloudy instead of sunny, just so that the snow doesn’t seem like it’s appearing out of nowhere. As a personal anecdote, this project has been really fun to create the past couple of months, and has seriously boosted my design/programming skills (and time management). There will probably be one more devlog before I ship Project Muniris, but in any case I just wanted to share my thoughts on my journey through Stardance here.
Good evening fellow coders, this is my final devlog for Project Muniris! I added in all of the mechanics that I wanted to into this final portion of the game and it is finally ready to be shipped. To summarize what I did, I made a bite-size castle area where there is a HUGE enemy gauntlet, which contains a final climb to the top of the hourglass that has been tantalizing the player ever since they entered the game. Since the castle is so high up that you can see past the boundary walls, I added a dense fog at the bottom of the castle that respawns you if you fall just in case the player fails any of the challenges. I created one final enemy type, that being an RPG turret, which essentially can shoot tons of missiles that seek out the players. Additionally, the last gun, the sniper rifle, was a fun time to speed develop since I realized that the mouse sensitivity was WAY too high for the player to reliably shoot when the rifle was zoomed in all the way. Due to this observation, I tweaked the mouse sensitivity via scripting so that when the camera is not zoomed in, it has a greater mouse sensitivity than when it is. Furthermore, I finally added a bunch of musical/sound assets into the game! All of the bullets from enemy and player fire have sound effects added to them. Each area also has a unique track to it, making them stand out from one another. While each track may not be musical, I made sure to find a bunch of immersive sound effects to increase the player’s auditory connection with the game. All in all, it feels very bittersweet writing this devlog, as it is the capstone to one of my longest and most passionate projects ever. I’m really thankful to the Stardance team for creating this program, as the community it developed really helped motivate me along the way. Most of all, thank you to you guys as well! Reading your comments and seeing what other people are doing has been really fun the past couple of months. Best of luck everyone!
Hi guys, one last quick log. I’ve been working to ship Munirism over the last couple of days and ran into a bunch of computer issues due to itch.io not being able to take files more than 1 gb in size (and my computer kept crashing every time I tried to build the game). Thankfully, I got a working link to play on a browser and a link to the Mac download of the project for people who would like better frame rate optimizations. Since I can’t submit 2 test links, I’ll give the Mac download here: https://gamejolt.com/games/muniris/1100442 . Thanks everyone!
Another quick update, I made another build of the game that is includes compatibility with Windows, where the player starts off with a couple of items and a bit farther ahead in the game. I thought that the browser version would work for non-Mac users but I realize now that the servers really can’t run Muniris very well. Thanks for your patience everyone!
Ships:
This is my first ever fully finished Unity game, named Muniris! It is a 2-player action adventure game that combines RPG and shooter-based mechanics to make for dynamic and differentiating playstyles for everyone. Each player has a left and right hand that control different purposes: the left hand performs magic attacks/items, and the right hand shoots whatever gun you have equipped. Each player can choose their own loadout and upgrade their items along the way. To check out the project take a look at the README of my GitHub repo, as it contains info on which version you can play depending on your operating system. Enjoy!...

Here is specifically what I did: Added the OLED Screen Cutout to the Case Cut the Window for the 0.91-inch OLED Display in Fusion 360 Centered the Switches and Rotary Encoder along a Construction Centerline Removed Conflicting Constraints and Badges to fix Over-Constrained Sketch Errors Moved the Case USB Cutout to the Open End to prevent Collision with the Switches Fixed the Extrude Cut Profile to fully penetrate the Wall Configured and Compiled the QMK Firmware Added the Display Code to show “PrasinoPad” in the File keymap.c Fixed Typo and Syntax Errors in the File keymap.c Resolved ChibiOS Hardware I2C Compilation Errors Created the Configuration Files config.h , halconf.h , and mcuconf.h Cleaned the Redundant I2C Definitions in the File keyboard.json Compiled the Firmware to generate firmware.uf2 Updated the Schematic and PCB in KiCad Removed Floating Matrix Diodes for Direct Pin Routing Added the 4-Pin OLED Connector Header Corrected the Pin Wiring for the Switches, Encoder, and OLED Screen Added a PWR_FLAG and No-Connect Flags to clear ERC Errors Assigned Footprints for the Switches, Encoder, and OLED Header Imported the CAD DXF Layout to align the Footprints Cleared Old Matrix Tracks and repositioned the Microcontroller Routed Front Copper Traces and filled the Bottom Ground Plane Ran DRC with 0 Errors and 0 Unconnected Items Created Production Files and Organized the Repository Exported Gerbers and NC Drill Files into gerbers.zip Exported the Assembled STEP File and Individual Case STL Files Structured the Project into CAD, PCB, Firmware, and production Folders Created the File README.md with the BOM and Screenshot References Fixed WSL and Git Path Errors Published a ship post to #hackpad-ships on Slack Notes on today’s session: It was frustrating. My goal for today was to make an OLED screen that says “Prasinopad, “ finish the model, the PCB and all the other files files, complete the hackpad itself and prepare to ship it. In Fusion 360, when I went to make the hole for the screen, I noticed that the switches and knob from last time weren’t centered properly, so I had to align everything to the center and deal with lots of over-constrained sketch errors. Additionally, the initial place where I put the OLED screen cutout was in the way of the place where the USB port is, so I had to move the screen cutout to the top. While doing so, the sketch would not expand where I wanted it to and the cutout for the screen was divided into a part which cut through the case and another one which did not. In KiCad, my schematic had extra diodes that weren’t needed, and the pins were wired incorrectly. I rewired everything, added power flags, updated the footprint placements, and routed new tracks with a ground fill until DRC had zero errors. In QMK, compiling failed at first because of typos in keymap.c and missing hardware I2C definitions for the RP2040, but after creating config.h , halconf.h , and mcuconf.h , the firmware was successfully compiled. Lastly, organizing all the CAD, PCB, Firmware, and production folders to match the Hackpad guide and dealing with WSL and Git paths took lots of time. To sum up, there were lots of errors and they all were eventually solved, and the whole project is now organized and complete. I pushed everything on GitHub, made my ship post in #hackpad-ships on Slack, and will soon fill out the Hackpad submission form."}, {"post_id": 63316, "ts": "2026-09-07T02:08:29Z", "hours": 2.3067, "text": "Today I implemented a Rotary Encoder for my Hackpad.

Here is specifically what I did: Added the OLED Screen Cutout to the Case Cut the Window for the 0.91-inch OLED Display in Fusion 360 Centered the Switches and Rotary Encoder along a Construction Centerline Removed Conflicting Constraints and Badges to fix Over-Constrained Sketch Errors Moved the Case USB Cutout to the Open End to prevent Collision with the Switches Fixed the Extrude Cut Profile to fully penetrate the Wall Configured and Compiled the QMK Firmware Added the Display Code to show “PrasinoPad” in the File keymap.c Fixed Typo and Syntax Errors in the File keymap.c Resolved ChibiOS Hardware I2C Compilation Errors Created the Configuration Files config.h , halconf.h , and mcuconf.h Cleaned the Redundant I2C Definitions in the File keyboard.json Compiled the Firmware to generate firmware.uf2 Updated the Schematic and PCB in KiCad Removed Floating Matrix Diodes for Direct Pin Routing Added the 4-Pin OLED Connector Header Corrected the Pin Wiring for the Switches, Encoder, and OLED Screen Added a PWR_FLAG and No-Connect Flags to clear ERC Errors Assigned Footprints for the Switches, Encoder, and OLED Header Imported the CAD DXF Layout to align the Footprints Cleared Old Matrix Tracks and repositioned the Microcontroller Routed Front Copper Traces and filled the Bottom Ground Plane Ran DRC with 0 Errors and 0 Unconnected Items Created Production Files and Organized the Repository Exported Gerbers and NC Drill Files into gerbers.zip Exported the Assembled STEP File and Individual Case STL Files Structured the Project into CAD, PCB, Firmware, and production Folders Created the File README.md with the BOM and Screenshot References Fixed WSL and Git Path Errors Published a ship post to #hackpad-ships on Slack Notes on today’s session: It was frustrating. My goal for today was to make an OLED screen that says “Prasinopad, “ finish the model, the PCB and all the other files files, complete the hackpad itself and prepare to ship it. In Fusion 360, when I went to make the hole for the screen, I noticed that the switches and knob from last time weren’t centered properly, so I had to align everything to the center and deal with lots of over-constrained sketch errors. Additionally, the initial place where I put the OLED screen cutout was in the way of the place where the USB port is, so I had to move the screen cutout to the top. While doing so, the sketch would not expand where I wanted it to and the cutout for the screen was divided into a part which cut through the case and another one which did not. In KiCad, my schematic had extra diodes that weren’t needed, and the pins were wired incorrectly. I rewired everything, added power flags, updated the footprint placements, and routed new tracks with a ground fill until DRC had zero errors. In QMK, compiling failed at first because of typos in keymap.c and missing hardware I2C definitions for the RP2040, but after creating config.h , halconf.h , and mcuconf.h , the firmware was successfully compiled. Lastly, organizing all the CAD, PCB, Firmware, and production folders to match the Hackpad guide and dealing with WSL and Git paths took lots of time. To sum up, there were lots of errors and they all were eventually solved, and the whole project is now organized and complete. I pushed everything on GitHub, made my ship post in #hackpad-ships on Slack, and will soon fill out the Hackpad submission form....

I also fixed some graphics such as the paint gun and the tutorial on the first and second levels to play the game. I made the paint even better as now it drips onto the ceiling, instead of the paint being the same anywhere it is. In this project I have been using HTML and JavaScript in VS code, so here’s an overview of what the code is composed of and what I used to program the game. Major types of functions that will be needed for coding this type of game is a draw function, which as it describes, draws the map, the game loop function and the load level function. Each of these or general loading for the game, along with functions that derive from variables. Making sure variables were defined correctly was also a main part of it. Only other thing I would like is some smaller details to add into the game. Some I was thinking of is maybe instead of just spikes have mini spikes fly across the amp in a timely order, maybe add a waterfall to some levels that when paint is shot through it it washes away, maybe a star rating system or stars to collect in the level, along with possibly making the background more fun and engaging.

I definitely fixed the graphics for the game, turning the white box into an astronaut, turning green half circles to plants, and made the theme of a alien cave (or tried to). Here’s the list of what I worked on recently: Obviously I mainly worked on graphics including the change to a pixel art theme, creating the flag and aura around it, made the paint drip to make it look more like paint gravity, and added a tutorial to learn the game along with controls at the top.

First Devlog! So I just recently started working on this new platformer game in VS Code, and here’s what I’ve coded so far. Main thing I began were the basics. I set up the controls for the player, and added an ending goal to bring the player to the next level. I also added in platforms to jump on, and the animation for a paint gun that the player will shoot to win levels. Next I will be adding, gravity mechanics to the paint to change the gravity, making the spikes kill the player and force them to restart the level, and lastly work on the scene and art of the game.
This is another devlog I’ve posted for this project and I’m almost finished. I definitely fixed the graphics for the game, turning the white box into an astronaut, turning green half circles to plants, and made the theme of a alien cave (or tried to). Here’s the list of what I worked on recently: Obviously I mainly worked on graphics including the change to a pixel art theme, creating the flag and aura around it, made the paint drip to make it look more like paint gravity, and added a tutorial to learn the game along with controls at the top. Another main thing was the death mechanisms. I made spikes into the the levels that increase in difficulty as the levels continue, along with adding a reset button. At first the levels were also slightly simple as there was no limit to the ammo, which I now added to keep the levels hard, and make the game into a puzzle. There is a couple more things I need to add before posting this project for rating which is just to make the astronaut hold a paint gun (which I somehow forgot) and to add a menu for the levels of the game.
One of the last devlogs (hopefully) for this project. this will be a fairly short log, just describing the updates I’ve made to my game. Firstly, the changes I made was I added in a main menu with a title page and a way to go to level selection, to access levels as you unlock them. I also fixed some graphics such as the paint gun and the tutorial on the first and second levels to play the game. I made the paint even better as now it drips onto the ceiling, instead of the paint being the same anywhere it is. In this project I have been using HTML and JavaScript in VS code, so here’s an overview of what the code is composed of and what I used to program the game. Major types of functions that will be needed for coding this type of game is a draw function, which as it describes, draws the map, the game loop function and the load level function. Each of these or general loading for the game, along with functions that derive from variables. Making sure variables were defined correctly was also a main part of it. Only other thing I would like is some smaller details to add into the game. Some I was thinking of is maybe instead of just spikes have mini spikes fly across the amp in a timely order, maybe add a waterfall to some levels that when paint is shot through it it washes away, maybe a star rating system or stars to collect in the level, along with possibly making the background more fun and engaging. I would love some other ideas too!
This is now officially the last devlog I shall post for this project. First off I made most of the additions I said I would, specifically added in the waterfalls to remove paint, and worked on graphics, especially the background. Now I shall ship the project for rating, as well I added in a demo url to the info so people can now officially try it! I will start working on a new project soon, hopefully a longer and harder one.
Another Devlog! I already have shipped this project once, and probably will again soon, but for now heres an update on what I worked on. Not much time was physically spent in the project, but in learning more about coding in java (which is what this project was for me), which for today took me more like an hour than what was logged. Specifically I learned more about the way to make the gun follow the mouse, and working on some of the graphics, such as the background behind the cave walls move. I also tried to think of more ideas, maybe a trajectory dots to show where the paint will go, I would like some advice or commets of what to add.
Paint Gravity Game Devlog! progress I made was I fixed the trajectory lines to show where the paint will end up going, along with this I worked on the tracking for the stars that you collect each level. Now there is a counter along with the total amount of possible stars, to show the progress made in the game. next i’m gonna make the grpahics on the menu and start menu much better.
Bad News :( Devlog 7……. So I have spent the last day none stop working on a bug that I accidently made I think when adding in the timer, but honestly nothing I’ve tried has worked yet. I tried so many different ideas and asked anyone who knows coding but nothing has worked. pretty much the issue is that the astronaut freezes when touching the flag and nothing in the game works. I tried adding in a try …… catch function around the code where it shows what happens when you touch the flag and exactly what error happened, but for this nothing showed up, and in any debugger I try it sees nothing wrong with the code. I’ll add in a screenshot of what it looks like when it freezes, (ignore some parts at the top, I know they overlap) If anyone has an idea of what’s wrong I could really use it. Thanks y’all!
Devlog 8 - Fixed All Issues! So like I described in my last devlog, I had a major issue that was continuing to pop up, and no matter what I did it was still there. Pretty much the issue was that the whole game froze when touching the flag, and it was caused because I forgot to define one of my variables correctly. The problem was that once I finally fixed this, I had to fix the issues I cause in the process of fixing this, such as the timer no longer working. Besides this I spent some time starting to make an achievements page, to show progress throughout the game.
Final Devlog Number 9!!! :) So this is the final devlog for the game, all bugs are fixed and the game is finished (for now) I may still work on some things in my spare time but since school started up it been hard to find the time to work on it. It is completed with levels, star completion, ghost racing, achievements, and smooth gameplay. I hope that all of you enjoy the project. I enjoyed working on this a lot. Thanks for all the support I got in the process!
Ships:
The project I worked on was a platformer game where you are an astronaut that paints to flip gravity by walking on it, to make its way out of a alien cave. Challenges for this project were honestly finding a way to start the project, as this was one of my first coding projects in JavaScript. Also part of what I struggled with was connecting the project to Hackatime and github to connect it to Stardance. Another thing that was difficult was adding in a level selection and menu with a tracker to keep track of the stars collected on each level. A couple things that I think went very well with this project was the graphics such as the astronauts paint gun, and the background along with the flag. I’m also happy about how the paint turned out with flipping gravity and its graphics.
I made a Platformer Game where you are an astronaut and must navigate through caves to reach the flag. I’m very proud of the graphics and how much I’ve learned when it comes to coding in javascript, html, and css. I am also happy that this finally forced me to get better at using github to place the project into and make it easier to submit into stardance.
I completed a game where you jump through obstacles and change gravity to move through each level. As an astronaut, you use a paint gun to change your gravity based on the corresponding color. I’m proud of this being my first big project in java and HTML and CSS, and that this was my first time using VS Code. Also the paint mechanics working was a big accomplishment. A struggle was getting the flag to work after something I added along the way caused a bug and I didn’t realize to way later. It took a while but I got it working! I hope everyone enjoys the project....

validation program up and running!
Working on the websocket currently, I fully coded the websocket for the global api instead of the US based polymarket endpoint so I have to create another websocket for people located in the US.
Actually in the thick of it right now ngl. Lowkey kinda getting closer to have a actual working v1 I can feel it in my britches. Currently working on the interface for polymarket api to connect to so the bot has multi-exchange capability. Yeah I know cool as biscuits I guess ¯ _ (ツ)_/¯...

Today, I started working on a Personal Site which I begun during a Stardance workshop. This is my first time coding and trying to create a website so it’s a bit basic. I used index.html and CSS to build it. This is the first version of my personal site. :D
It’s been about 2 weeks since I picked up my personal site, but now I’m back into the flow. Today, I decided to change a bunch of the looks for my site because it was looking too plain.

I will begin working on my homepage to include directions that will lead towards the About Me page. Tomorrow’s work mostly consists of CSS and making the site look appealing. :P
I forgot to post a devlog yesterday. I made huge changes to my personal site, especially with the homepage and changed a lot of things up with the about me page. My homepage background looks great as well as the title. I added a navigation bar at the top that will take you to either the about me, interests, or contacts page. I was experimenting with the second page because I wanted there to be a split screen with one side have my oc and the having the info.
Devlog - 4 Today was a very productive day because I finished the About Me section of my website. I was able to add an image of my OC which was created by my best friend. I also added a div which would house the information for the about me section. I was having trouble adjusting the appearance of the content inside the div, but i was able to fix it with a bit of research. Another problem that I came across was changing the background because my code space was acting up whenever I’d input the URL for the image. I was also able to fix that problem, but I don’t know how I did it. Next up, I’ll be working on my interests page and tweaking my code up a bit more.

I did come across a problem though, no matter what I tried; the button is there, but when click it; it just disappears and no text comes on. I will work on this problem tomorrow.
I basically to a long break from coding and didn’t write any dev-logs for any of the work that I did, but now I’m basically done with my website. I fixed up all the bugs that were present through out the code and website. I also finished my contacts page just now, so all I have to do is review over everything and make a new read me.
I’m finally done with my personal website and I just finished up the README. It was kind of complicated, but I was able to finish things up! This is just a little snippet, but there’s more to it below.
I fixed up all the errors and deleted the unused photos in my files. I also made folders for all the files to make them look neat and organized.
There were still some problems present since I didn’t change the code properly after moving the files, so I fixed those problems up. I also made sure that the demo link worked, and my project is ready to ship again! :D
I fixed up the problem of my other pages not opening from the Interests page. I just had to redo the code for that specific section.
Ships:
I coded a personal site that is great if you’d like to get to know me. It was a bit hard to kickstart the whole process since it was my first time coding. However, I had a lot of fun and learned so much about writing HTML and CSS along the way. It was quite a journey, and I love seeing how my website evolved from the initial workshop version to this final version that I’m shipping. I faced a lot of obstacles while creating this site. Sometimes the background wouldn’t appear on the page; other times, I’d make mistakes and change the wrong lines of code.

This is my first and only devlog of this project because it is a small beginner project. I started with adding the main parts(chosing the word, printing the rules, while-loop). I later added extra stuff like checking if the input is correct or printing already used letters. I’m quite new with Hack Club and coding, so any feedback is appreciated:)
I started working on a website version of my Hangman game. It was originally made to be played in a terminal. I firstly did some research about HTML, CSS and js, because i’m not experienced in it. I then made a beginning of my keyboard. My plan is to also make that classic Hangman drawing. Where it begins with the head and everytime you guess a letter wrong, you get an extra line fo the drawing. I also want to make something so that you can see where your correct guesses are in the word. Also, thanks to everyone who rated my last ship and gave my advice on how to improve. It was really helpful!
Today, I made my keyboard functional. But now it only hows wich are correct and which aren’t. I still need to add what happens after clicking a button. I also added lines for each letter of the word, so that you could see how many letter the word has. The box on the left side is the place where the hanging man comes, if you make any mistakes. The next time I want to make everything functional. Because now nothing works together yet.
I made my keyboard more functional. Now if you click on a letter that isn’t in the chosen word, an extra line gets drawn. Before the player choses a letter, the structure is already drawn. The structure is the frame where the man hangs onto. Next time, I want to show the correct letter, if the player choses a correct letter. I also have no idea why 2h are logged, because today I coded for 1h.

Next time, I’m gonna work on the end and start screen, and try to make the game more appealing.

I made a digital version of Hangman! I got the inspiration from my brother. He said he also made hangman in code for a schoolproject with his friends. I liked the idea of that and decided to make it too. At first, I had some problems with the While-loop. It didn’t exit the loop even though it should with a if statement. Eventually, I found out that I needed to click on run Python file and not stay in the same terminal. It’s a short project but I learned lots about the logic of code!...
