This is a Minecraft mod for neoforge 1.21.1. It revolves around the idea of untroducing a brand new way to invite new players while retaining peace. How? Every new player now needs to be sponsored by someone else on the server. If you (for example) decide to invite a new player to the server, you will now hold responsibility for any trouble the new player causes. This helps people think twice before inviting anyone on the server, as it just not might be worth the trouble. Invites This is the core of the mod. Each player gets a limited amount of invites/sponsorships (more on them below), which also makes invites pretty valuable. That is the whole idea of this system. Quite simple, ain’t it? Any players can invite another with the use of /invite * player * Sponsorships Every player can sponsor any other player on the server. This works just about the same as invites; if the player you sponsor breaks the rules, you will suffer the consequences as well. Sponsorships exist for only one reason - to help build a community on the server; people that trust each other. Un-inviting/unsponsoring If you ever get into an argument with the player you sponsor, or invited, you can stop sponsoring them using /uninvite , or /unsponsor . The moment you stop sponsoring them you are freed from the consequences of their actions. If a player loses all of their sponsors they will be in a bit of trouble; they now have 30 mins to find a new sponsor, otherwise they are un-whitelisted and lose access to the server until re-invited by someone. Admin featues The first player that joins the server does not need to be invited, as it is expected to be the admin. That first player also becomes the “root” of the invite tree. Every single player that ever joins needs to be connected to the root player in some way. They do not need to be invited by the root player directly; it can be a player that was invited by the root player, but there still needs to be some way on the tree they will remain connected to the root player. To view who invited who, who is sponsoring who, or who is sponsored by who, you, as an admin can use the /invitetree * player_X * , which will reveal all of this info. All players that will pop-up can be clicked, which will allow you to easily click through the invite tree. Non-admin players get a variant of this command too, the /mysponsors command. It works kinda similar, just only shows the player that used the command and cannot click through the invite tree. Testing/showcasing To make your life just a little bit easier, I have prepared a showcase video you can watch by clicking the try project, as testing this out would require a server and (atleast) two players. You can still very well do so, I am not against it at all, go ahead here , I made the release specifically just for these purposes.

Started practicing with a simple linear regression with 3 points!
I added a hidden neuron and used backpropagation to set the weights
Added 2 more hidden neurons, set up lists to manage their related variables and set up backpropagation for each.
Did the backtpolation to work with many x’s and y’s
I worked on the PCB for my Hackpad project for 2 hours and 19 minutes, but accidentally connected the Lapce recording to this project instead. I asked about the situation in #stardance-help, and support confirmed that the time cannot be reassigned due to Hackatime’s data protections.

More details can be found here https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C0AP0NMSP3P/p1788725484466219
Added a second varable to the hidden neurons, and organised the code to work with it. Managed to get a very low loss!!!!!
I added 3 output neurons meaning the neural network will respond in tems of class 1: 0.01, class 2: 0.03, class 3: 0.96. To implement that I had to add softmax fucntion chnage my forwardPass and backwardPass implementations to work with new matrixes.
Decoding MINST images! Deconding those with no libraries are harder than I thought and I had to do a TON of research about the data files. But here it is the color value of each pixel of the first imege!! I just have to extract them all, maybe find a better way to store them so I dont have to decode them each time, and pass them to my neural network, which currently have 784 hidden input nurons, 64 hidden neurons and 10 output neurons corresponding to each digit I am trying to predict. Sorry for the super long devlog, I guess I am just excited that its turning into what I am trying to build!
Trained the network with 10 images (first tried with 100 but it was SO SLOW), but it runs and makes a prediction!!!!! altough it thought 5 was a 3….. I am gonna try figure out ways to optimize my train function next fo I can train 100!
I tried to optimize and add more trainign data but accidently made it even less acurate and take longer to process. Will have to do some research!
Fixed my batch training, my loss calculation was off. Also added weight saving so I dont have to retarin everytime I want to test. And of course seperated test from train! Although it still runs preetry slow 50s train runtime…. I will experinment with different batch sizes, training sizes, number of neurons, learning rates soon. I might also do a version with numpy, my original goal was to not use any libraries to learn the fundementals, but numpy is much faster than python list so I might use that to reduce runtime in a seperate version to see how much of a difference it makes!
Worked on making the woring project a comman line app that precits the digit in the given picture. Next I will write the readme
I’m finally on PyPi! It took way longer than I expected to turn the trained model into teh CLI tool but here we are! I also polised and edited the README. It can be installed by python3 -m pip install digitReader and run by classifyDigit –image image.jpeg. Feel free to check out my project demo!
Touch up on the readme and installation
Adding drawing in progress…. (will have a pygame windows where useds can draw their own digits and view the neeural networks predicion)
Added image drawing and imported the drawn image to the neral network. So far the predictions are correct 40% of the time, I suspect thats because of the sharper use drawing mode compared to my training images which are rounder and more blended in yo the background. It also took me a while to realise the MNIST images have black backgrounds
Ships:
I build this digit classifier CLI tool, which basically allows you to pass and image and guesses which digit it features. I built/trained the neural network from strach using pure python. I did not use and machine learning libraries because I wanted to learn how they work in a deeper level. it is currently trained on 5000 images with 15 iterations, this may sound very little but due to using python list instead of numpy arrays my runtime is alread about ~300 seconds for training. I learned a lot about neural networks while building this project. Although I did not follow any tutorials when builing it I found 3Blue1Brown’s Naural Network videos extremely helpfull when researching fundemental concpets! Even though the research part was hard I feel like the hardest part was optimizing the train function I had to do more research on how batch gradient decesent works and more techniques. Its currently at 92% accuracy with testing data but it might still styrugle with picture that have grey or weird back grounds which I plan to fix next! The model can be tested using the PyPi install route, I also have detailed install/run instructions in my readme. Thank you for reading allong that far!...

liqlaqo-os web-based operating system building with html , css and javascript
Today I made the date and time fully functional in the bottom bar. I am going to build other things too. If you want to know more, don’t forget to like and follow.
I have worked in my welcome window, taskbar, and calculator app(it’s not functional yet)
I have finished working on the first app in my web-based operating system(Liqlaqo-os). As you can see, it is a fully functional calculator.

I have worked on my mini Notebook window that actually worked well, but some functionality is still missing. I will try to make it fully functional next time. thank you
Today, I worked on the weather app. It’s fully functional and works only when you’re online. I added an icon for it too, and for now I only added 6 cities. Tomorrow I will add a search bar so everyone can see their city’s weather.
Today, I added a search bar to the weather page so that everyone can see their own city’s weather conditions. Finally, I edited some visual effects and enhanced some color combinations, and I also worked on the welcome screen. As you can see this are all the pages I have been working on
I deployed it. It is now online
Worked on settings functionality. I added wallpaper and made it changeable. Today I added 3 wallpapers. I also made the notebook savable and added settings to clear, load, and save data. Tomorrow I will work on more functionality.
I worked on a notebook file system; now you can save, load, and update what you’ve written, and it has its own password too. created a setting that lets you remove what you don’t want by setting passwords
I started working on my music app. I will add cool features to it later
I finally finished working on the music window. It was hard for me, but I learned so many things through the process
I get rid of repetitive lines by using one function to handle all of them at once
i finally deleted weather app because it starts to lag. i also solved a bug with music app. finally wrote my readme.
I updated the settings with 4 new cool features. You can easily change the font family, app color, font color, and font size.

ARE YOU ALSO A PAV LOOKING FOR A VADA?? Probably not… No worries tho, you can stimulate that here!
Minigame 1 Ready!!!! and level screen! In the first minigame you have to collect 3 vadas to make the supreme triple vada pav I’m thinking of making the second minigame about picking cooked vadas from a pot! Cheers!
2nd minigame complete! I added a bit more difficulty by making the player choose between burnt and unburnt vadas Click all the unburnt vadas before the timer hits 0!
THIRD MINIGAME READY!!!!! I abso-dupso-lutely loved making this one, becuase I had to do everything myself from collision to dragging, and I loved it. Im nearing the completion of this game, I would love to see how y’all reach to my game… Also im working on adding some music and sound effects so that the game feels more like… well, a game. Cheers! 🥂 P.S. I didn’t take all of these 4.5 hours just to develop this minigame, a lot of it went into making winner and looser screens and making other minigames more fun!
FONT UPDATE These are the following updates Fixed Global Audio Issues Changed Font to something more fun Designed Winning and Losing Scenes We are so ready to ship, only readme remains
READY TO SHIP!!! Thank y’all for being a part of the ver 1 of this game VADA AND PAV WILL RETURN IN DOOMSDAY?!?? Anyways spent the last few minutes making readme better and making a promo asset in godot itself. Also the name’s official now: LOVE VADA PAV!!!
NEW MINIGAME IN THE WORKS!! My potato bowl shoots potato balls so that they can be covered in besan (Batter) to be sent for frying!
Ships:
Presenting LOVE VADA PAV A game about reuniting the best couple in the universe through a set of time-bound minigames But beware! You have only 5 fried chilies (5 lives) and yes, you can chill till you have at least one fried chili but after that… youre fried!!!!!

I have rewritten the bot to use Discord’s built in interactions, which enables it to send messages visible to the command issuer TODO: database 🥲
Slowly but steadily, i’m setting up the database
After a little shenanigans, i finally got autocomplete hints to pull data from the database

Working on Game UI, and its functional and works now, also made sprites
Finished both minigames and now I’ll be working on the final ending scene as in a custom win/loss
Finished an ending/lose scene, and finished all minigames, I’m probably just going to start working on more minigames now.
I finished tweaking all the bugs, and my game is ready to ship with my two current minigames.
Worked on a functional pause screen that goes back to menu or can resume game, took a while since I wasnt able to figure out why I couldn’t do some of the functions to hide the pause panel within one function, but if it works, it works.
I finished my fourth minigame and final, a launcher minigame, where the player has to hold down click or space while aiming the cannon, in order to hit the target and win. I also completed third minigame too, the balancing one (I forgot to devlog it, oops). It’s a seesaw minigame, and basically weights fall and how have to balance the seesaw by selecting different weights and dropping them. It now has weight labels which it didnt have earlier, and weights automatically spawn now, when initially it just had two blocks that would cause a tilt.
Ships:
I made a collection of fast paced minigames, but added my own personal design choices and sprites I made too. It took me a while, because I had a lot of bugs that needed fixing, but it works now. I added a player sprite that has animations, and also worked on my finished screen so it has confetti (yay). My death screen’s pretty basic though. In general for now, it works, and I’ll probably be adding more soon.
I made a collection of fast paced minigames. And this is my second version. The first version had two minigames, a platformer game and a clicker game, but for my second version, I added two more, and they’re a bit more interesting. I added a seesaw game, and it has blocks that randomly spawn at different locations on the plank, and the player has to select a weight and click at different spots to balance it out. Before there was a way to exploit how it works, and click below the plank so the plank would never hit the ground, but you can’t do that anymore. Basically the plank can’t touch the ground until the timer ends. I then added a launcher game, and it has a target that moves back and forth, and the player needs to click and hold or hold spacebar to settle on a power for the shot, and use the mouse to aim the barrel. They need to hit the target before the timer ends. Also, now the timer doesn’t start until the one word instructions on each game fade. Those are the main differences, along with the pause menu, and yeah!...

This summer I started working on my first mobile app. Since I am very interested in astronomy, I decided to build an app that gives you a notification when the ISS flies over you. Right now I only have two windows, one of which is used to get the user’s location.
My app is finally working! The main thing I want it to do is send the user a notification when the International Space Station flies over them. Right now it can tell the user if the ISS is in his field of view by calculating its position over the horizon. If the amount of degrees over the horizon is positive, then the user should be able to see the ISS (if we neglect the sunlight, weather and so on…).
In the last few days I have been working on getting the app to calculate at what time the ISS is going to fly over the user again. Now that this is done, I feel like all the core features are done. Do you maybe have an idea of a feature or something that would be interesting to see in the finished app? Let me know in the comments! I’d be more than happy to hear your ideas : )

There is also a fun Team Gallery page with captions and funny moments from our season. The Meet the Team page shows us our members and who we are. The hardest part of making this website was the 3D visualizer and the dynamic background. Both elements require complex javascript which made it extremely hard to code. I spent almost half of my time dedicated just to both of those elements in this website just because of how much time it took to perfect it. For the visualizer I ended up taking over 72 photos to get everything at the right angle and compress all the images together with javascript in order to get the visualizer working.

I created a website for my team that has information about my team and who we are and what we do. Rather than just creating any other boring site I have designed a dynamic background that makes the site more interesting. Other than that I have also created a 3D visualizer where viewers can drag the image around and take a look at our robot from the past season at various angles. There is also a fun Team Gallery page with captions and funny moments from our season. The Meet the Team page shows us our members and who we are. The hardest part of making this website was the 3D visualizer and the dynamic background. Both elements require complex javascript which made it extremely hard to code. I spent almost half of my time dedicated just to both of those elements in this website just because of how much time it took to perfect it. For the visualizer I ended up taking over 72 photos to get everything at the right angle and compress all the images together with javascript in order to get the visualizer working. I put a lot of time into perfecting the small kinks here and there to make this site stand out so I hope you enjoy it!...

this my note taking app ‘bee mark’ I am working on this as my first ever coding project since I’m a newbie but the reason I chose to make an actual note taking app rather than a ‘quick notes’ web cuz I actually wanted to create a cutesy and Pinterest coded version that is actually function and has features that can help students make note taking process a bit easier and is free to use also I’ll explain more about my web in next post and if you have suggestions or features that you would personally like to see in such plsssss do let me know. here’s my HTML progress as of now. there is more but i could only upload one about 128 lines.
devlog 2 guys I worked on my HTML, CSS and java and today I added a handwritten notes feature where users can write through stylus as well as type and also added a feature through which 3d models and images can be uploaded on the page and some more basic features.
dev log #3 ok i know it’s been a while that’s cuz i’ve been figuring out a few things in the code aswell as my life :) so far i have worked on the stylus writting feauture and adding more bg options. but I am yet to add a better storage system, more fonts , text editing optin and integrate AI feautures also improve th UI, Any tips?
after so many days of working its still glitching and storage sucks!!
things I did: 1. added new fonts, increased the storage & added grid. 2. change the whole css cuz i wanted to change the colour pallet and layout so it kinda fits the futuristic biophilic aesthetics and for that I added some unnatural shapes and textures. 3. worked on making the already existing features work better.

it’s doneeee yayyyy try it ouut yall
guys I added a readme and fixed the errors I was getting w GitHub, its shipped now so please check it out and leave honest revieww so happy RN!!!

These calculators are common in high schools in my country. My project simulates the behaviour of the Casio calculator, while maintaining a good user experience on both desktop and mobile. What was challenging? Creating reliable algebraic (non-linear) input parsing was the most difficult part of the project. This was because it required some difficult array traversal to avoid invalid states - even one mistake would break the whole input. It took a lot of iterations to get to a working input system that passed all my tests. Close contenders for most challenging were the sheer volume of functions I needed to implement, as well as all possible states the calculator can be in. However, the challenge for this was finding time to get around to everything, rather than technical challenge. What are you proud of? I’m most proud of my implementation of the input-to-result pipeline. I was able to incorporate new-to-me concepts such as tokenisers and abstract syntax trees, yet the resulting code is arguably the cleanest part of the program. I’m also proud of the responsive layout, which supports desktop and mobile well, and that the user experience is similar enough to the Casio that my muscle memory carries over. Finally, I’m proud that I managed to finish the project, as it’s the largest software project I’ve ever managed to complete.

This project taught me a lot about input parsing - specifically, tokenisers and syntax trees - and the importance of keeping a large codebase tidy . Overall, the structure of the project is well laid out. However, there are architectural decisions I made early on that I came to regret later (such as the fact that input is represented as a string, whereas it should probably be a tree).

This allows the many JS files to be condensed down into one file, reducing the number of requests that need to be made. This build system is much simpler than other options such as node.js. I also added a simple service worker that caches all requests locally. This makes the calculator available offline. ⚖️ Licensing & Legal I chose GPLv3 for this project as it is an end-user product.

Key hint consideration The default keyboard map has been implemented as a const dictionary for a while now, allowing lookup of buttons from keyboard keys. This was extended with a user dictionary that can be dynamically updated. However, generating the help hotkey hints needed to go in the opposite direction of the dictionary. The naive approach of iterating through values to find a key for each would perform poorly with O(n^2). Instead, we precalculate a reversed dictionary to lookup keyboard keys from each button. This precalculation is O(n), and setting the keys is also O(n), resulting in O(n) time overall. 📈 Next steps Development Brief manual for each calculator function (considering reusing the on click functionality from key mapper) ) Info menubar button with author & project information, and disclaimers Fullscreen button for mobile devices Preparation for shipping Webpack, choose a license, write readme, publicise repo, host.

The simplest way to implement this is trial division , which is straightforward but has O(√n) time complexity. I thought this would be too slow, so I decided to implement Pollard’s rho algorithm. This has a nicer complexity of O(√p) where p is the smallest prime factor of the number. However, further observation showed that that the Casio calculator probably doesn’t do this - for numbers without easy factors, it just doesn’t bother. Despite this, I’ve already implemented the algorithm, so I’m not going to remove functionality for the sake of exactly replicating the calculator’s behaviour. 🎨 CSS and styling My goal with the styling was to make the calculator as similar across browsers as possible. I bundled the Inter font (best font) into the program and removed browser-specific button styling. Implementing the CSS styling was mostly painless. I opted for a simple design with a menubar that adapts to horizontal or vertical depending on the window’s aspect ratio for the web app functionality. Additionally the css uses the system theme to automatically choose light or dark mode. 📈 Next steps This project is nearly finished - should only be one or two devlogs left until I ship. Here’s what I have left to do: Development Keybind show and edit Brief manual for each calculator function Info menubar button with author & project information, and disclaimers: that I am not affiliated with casio that the calculator is in a beta state and not guaranteed to be correct for all inputs Fullscreen button for mobile devices Preparation for shipping Webpack or similar Choose a license and publicise repo Write a readme Host on github pages (?)

Forward delete key (keyboard only) Scrolling screen with a nicer cursor! Colon operator This is an operator I’ve never used on my calculator, but its quite powerful. you can type Ans+1:Ans*2:Ans^2 and it will calculate the first expression, then the second, and so on until it loops back to the start. ➡️ Forward delete Although this functionality is not part of the original calculator, it makes it much more pleasant to use on a computer keyboard. This was implemented as a hidden button. Scrolling Scrolling was surprisingly easy to implement! The browser handles all of the hard work, and all I had to do was set the right CSS tags. Granted, with my CSS experience, this was still difficult, but I made it work in the end. 📈 Next steps I have decided to shift the current scope of the project (before shipping) to just be implementing the main compute mode . This means I will not need to do STAT, VERIFY or LINEIO mode. This is for three reasons: With my semester starting, I will not have as much time to work on this project before the deadline I have very little experience with using these other modes I want to focus my time on the user experience. With this shift in scope, the calculator part of the project is all but done - I only have three buttons remaining. (I had to push this devlog out before 10 hours, which is why they’re not done). Then, I can focus on adding the surrounding UI and UX, which should make it actually possible for other people to use my project.

However, I couldn’t find a way to easily encode functions and arguments in this structure, so the actual actions are handled by a big switch statement. When the menu is active, most buttons have no action and the input/output display is hidden. 🧀 Status bar The status bar consists of a row of elements with adjustable opacity (to represent their active state). It is handled by a class which allows items to be toggled with a single method call, meaning it can retroactively be integrated into other components. The original calculator has some menu elements that can never be activated - for example, there is a complex mode indicator, but the calculator cannot show complex numbers. I omitted these on calc82, as they took up unnecessary space. 📈 Next steps The project is almost nearing completion :) I made complete list of every feature missing from the calculator (too long to post here).

This devlog follows the improvement of the user interface to my calculator, as well as the addition of variables . 🌟 New functionality summary Add keyboard mappings for buttons Variables - assign and recall Navigate through history Recall history and edit it. 🦋 Modifier keys It was difficult porting the modifier (shift/alpha) keys to keyboard because Shift is used to type symbols such as + and *, and there is also a Shift key on the calculator… My solution was making tapping shift without any other input to toggle the calculator shift modifier, and combining it with another key to not toggle it. 🗒️ Notes Use of the calculator I’ve actually started using the calculator in class, and it’s been faithful to the original so far (for implemented functionality). I still don’t really trust it though and want to run it through some formalised tests before shipping. Keyboard mappings So far, I have been hardcoding keyboard mappings based on what feels natural to me. However, it would probably be better to have user-editable mappings for other people to customise. 📈 Next steps Immediate: M+ and M- special variable Variable and history persistence in the browser Implement polar/rectangualr conversion Medium: Add menu system and settings Add other modes (STAT, VERIFY) Create a test suite to ensure there is no unwanted behaviour Long-term: Tidy up visuals Ship :)"}, {"post_id": 32188, "ts": "2026-07-21T05:53:53Z", "hours": 9.9386, "text": "calc82: Devlog #7 21/07/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog follows the introduction of an actual user interface to my calculator. 🌟 New functionality summary Grid of calculator buttons Different button output when modifiers pressed Navigation buttons work Calculator resembles a real calculator 👇 Button handling The calculator needed buttons resembling that of the Casio to fulfil my purpose. Buttons are dynamically built from an array, which defines their labels and actions. This allows easy changes. For most buttons, the area surrounding the button also acts as a clickable area for better touch input. However, I didn’t find an easy way to do this for the navigation buttons (which are positioned off the grid). 🎨 CSS CSS Grid allows a 2D layout system based on rows and columns. It has been supported by all major browsers since October 2017. CSS Grid was used, as it allows consistent positioning across browsers. In addition, relative units were used to prevent resizing the calculator from affecting it. This should make it easier to make dynamic sizing in the future. 🗒️ Notes Accessibility <button> s are preferred over clickable <div> s because they work with screen readers and legacy browsers . However, I also made the surrounding elements clickable for a better touch experience. Also, keyboard input will make use significantly easier for computer users. Aesthetics The CSS applied so far is purely functional. In the future, I will improve the aesthetics of the calculator through CSS - but for now, this barebones look makes development easier and more focused. 📈 Next steps The todo list was getting too empty, so it has been updated with new tasks Immediate: Add remaining functions Add keyboard shortcuts Medium: Add menu system and settings Multi-line calculation (Ans) and setting variables Implement polar/rectangualr conversion Add other modes (STAT, VERIFY) Add Long-term: Create a test suite to ensure there is no unwanted behaviour Ship :)"}, {"post_id": 30511, "ts": "2026-07-18T04:36:43Z", "hours": 9.605, "text": "calc82: Devlog #6 18/07/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog follows the further development of algebraic I/O to my calculator, including turning this into an actual result. 🌟 New functionality summary Input and output formatting through KaTeX Square root, arbitrary root, mixed fraction, and absolute values Tokeniser now directly reads input tokens Errors now move the cursor to the position where it occurred 🌊 New program flow inputHandler -> [input tokens] -> tokeniser -> [calculator tokens] -> parser -> AST -> evaluator -> result This: improves speed (compared to parsing text) allows cursor to be moved to error location since we never flatten to text You might notice I have two sets of tokens. They are similar, but input tokens deal with digits and combined symbols ( sin( ), and calculator tokens are whole numbers and separated symbols. 🗒️ Notes Avoiding the lazy route My first approach was turning the input tokens into a string, which my tokeniser already knew how to deal with. However, this added much processing overhead and made it harder to find out the position at which errors occurred. Spending the time to implement the token conversion made this step much easier Misplaced math errors When implementing error handling, I passed down the original position of each token in the input token array down to each step of the calculation process. However, because my evaluator is recursive, it would constantly update the error position to the latest token, meaning the errors were always placed at the end. This was an easy fix in the end - but hard to spot! 📈 Next steps Immediate: Buttons input Add remaining functions (once buttons are added can be done) Medium: Multi-line calculation (Ans) and setting variables Implement polar/rectangualr conversion (delayed until UI is more fleshed out) Build UI Long-term (but getting closer!): Create a usable UX Ship :)"}, {"post_id": 29405, "ts": "2026-07-16T10:32:06Z", "hours": 9.6708, "text": "calc82: Devlog #5 16/07/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog mainly follows the addition of algebraic I/O to my calculator. This is just a check-in since I was getting close to 10 hours since the last devlog - I still have some work to do on this aspect before I move on. 🌟 New functionality summary Input and output formatting through KaTeX Fractions and powers formatted correctly in the input Ability to intuitively traverse the input with arrow keys ⚖️ Algebraic IO with KaTeX I decided on KaTeX because it is both fast (no reflow!) and does not rely on dependencies . KaTeX is a math formatting library that uses LaTeX commands to create beautiful equations from code. For example, \\frac{2^{\\frac{3}{4}}}{4\\sin(30)}\\times 2\\pi turns into the attached image. Input is currently captured directly from the keyboard to build a 1D array of tokens. The tokens are then converted into KaTeX formatting for algebraic display. In the future, there will also be buttons onscreen as an alternative. Fractions and powers Fractions and powers cannot be represented as a single token. Rather, fractions have a beginning, middle and end, and powers have a beginning and end. The program traverses the array to decide where to put them (and take them out for deletion). 🗒️ Notes The cursor It is surprisingly difficult to make a vertical bar to act as a cursor in KaTeX, without affecting the spacing of the rest of the expression. For now, I am using a \\clap{\\rule{0.1em}{0.5em}} for the cursor, but I am looking to replace this with custom CSS in the future. Replicating exact behaviour? The fx-82 has some interesting behaviour wherein an empty power is not allowed to exist directly after another power. I am unsure whether I should replicate this - but for now, I am leaving it out. Dealing with broken LaTeX I have been able to get the display pretty bulletproof when it comes to not producing broken LaTeX. However, I’m sure there’s something I haven’t run into in debugging! I want to have this be dealt with gracefully rather than blowing up in the user’s face. 📈 Next steps Immediate: Implement mixed fractions, roots, and Abs to algebraic display Make the input token array able to be parsed into the AST to be calculated Medium: Multi-line calculation (Ans) and setting variables Implement polar/rectangualr conversion (delayed until UI is more fleshed out) Build UI Long-term (but getting closer!): Create a usable UX Ship :)"}, {"post_id": 27701, "ts": "2026-07-13T14:20:52Z", "hours": 7.1211, "text": "calc82: Devlog #4 14/07/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog mainly follows the addition of fractional I/O to my calculator. 🌟 New functionality summary Fractional input, including fractions Computation of fractions - add/sub,div/mult,power,root other operations convert the fraction to a decimal Fractional output (temporary UI) LCM/GCD separate execute and fraction/decimal converting buttons 🔢 fractional io :) I defined a separate fraction data type: it’s like a decimal, but with a numerator and denominator, and optionally a whole component: for example, 1 and 1/3, or 4/3. Using fractions means that numbers can be represented more naturally and precisely. I.e. 1/7 instead of 0.142857143 🧮 Fractional calculation Additionally calculations can be made more precise. For example (1/7) * (2/3) can be directly computed by multiplying the numerators and denominators. My implementation attempts to convert user input and the products of divisions into fractions wherever possible in order to chase this precision. 🗒️ Notes Web design is not my thing I realised the importance of UI and UX (user experience) by looking at other projects on Stardance.

calc82: Devlog #3 10/07/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone Oh dear, looks like I lost 4 hours of counted time in the last devlog… let’s try to make this one a bit shorter!

calc82: Devlog #4 14/07/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog mainly follows the addition of fractional I/O to my calculator. 🌟 New functionality summary Fractional input, including fractions Computation of fractions - add/sub,div/mult,power,root other operations convert the fraction to a decimal Fractional output (temporary UI) LCM/GCD separate execute and fraction/decimal converting buttons 🔢 fractional io :) I defined a separate fraction data type: it’s like a decimal, but with a numerator and denominator, and optionally a whole component: for example, 1 and 1/3, or 4/3. Using fractions means that numbers can be represented more naturally and precisely. I.e. 1/7 instead of 0.142857143 🧮 Fractional calculation Additionally calculations can be made more precise. For example (1/7) * (2/3) can be directly computed by multiplying the numerators and denominators. My implementation attempts to convert user input and the products of divisions into fractions wherever possible in order to chase this precision. 🗒️ Notes Web design is not my thing I realised the importance of UI and UX (user experience) by looking at other projects on Stardance. As of the current iteration, this project lacks this a bit.. But I will give it a shot My next developments will begin to focus more on this - starting with the algebraic input, and eventually moving onto the CSS and design aspects. I am also considering whether I should use a Javascript framework. 📈 Next steps Immediate: Create algebraic display functionality Medium: Multi-line calculation (Ans) and setting variables Implement polar/rectangualr conversion (delayed until UI is more fleshed out) Build UI Long-term (but getting closer!): Create a usable UX Ship :)
calc82: Devlog #5 16/07/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog mainly follows the addition of algebraic I/O to my calculator. This is just a check-in since I was getting close to 10 hours since the last devlog - I still have some work to do on this aspect before I move on. 🌟 New functionality summary Input and output formatting through KaTeX Fractions and powers formatted correctly in the input Ability to intuitively traverse the input with arrow keys ⚖️ Algebraic IO with KaTeX I decided on KaTeX because it is both fast (no reflow!) and does not rely on dependencies . KaTeX is a math formatting library that uses LaTeX commands to create beautiful equations from code. For example, \frac{2^{\frac{3}{4}}}{4\sin(30)}\times 2\pi turns into the attached image. Input is currently captured directly from the keyboard to build a 1D array of tokens. The tokens are then converted into KaTeX formatting for algebraic display. In the future, there will also be buttons onscreen as an alternative. Fractions and powers Fractions and powers cannot be represented as a single token. Rather, fractions have a beginning, middle and end, and powers have a beginning and end. The program traverses the array to decide where to put them (and take them out for deletion). 🗒️ Notes The cursor It is surprisingly difficult to make a vertical bar to act as a cursor in KaTeX, without affecting the spacing of the rest of the expression. For now, I am using a \clap{\rule{0.1em}{0.5em}} for the cursor, but I am looking to replace this with custom CSS in the future. Replicating exact behaviour? The fx-82 has some interesting behaviour wherein an empty power is not allowed to exist directly after another power. I am unsure whether I should replicate this - but for now, I am leaving it out. Dealing with broken LaTeX I have been able to get the display pretty bulletproof when it comes to not producing broken LaTeX. However, I’m sure there’s something I haven’t run into in debugging! I want to have this be dealt with gracefully rather than blowing up in the user’s face. 📈 Next steps Immediate: Implement mixed fractions, roots, and Abs to algebraic display Make the input token array able to be parsed into the AST to be calculated Medium: Multi-line calculation (Ans) and setting variables Implement polar/rectangualr conversion (delayed until UI is more fleshed out) Build UI Long-term (but getting closer!): Create a usable UX Ship :)
calc82: Devlog #6 18/07/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog follows the further development of algebraic I/O to my calculator, including turning this into an actual result. 🌟 New functionality summary Input and output formatting through KaTeX Square root, arbitrary root, mixed fraction, and absolute values Tokeniser now directly reads input tokens Errors now move the cursor to the position where it occurred 🌊 New program flow inputHandler -> [input tokens] -> tokeniser -> [calculator tokens] -> parser -> AST -> evaluator -> result This: improves speed (compared to parsing text) allows cursor to be moved to error location since we never flatten to text You might notice I have two sets of tokens. They are similar, but input tokens deal with digits and combined symbols ( sin( ), and calculator tokens are whole numbers and separated symbols. 🗒️ Notes Avoiding the lazy route My first approach was turning the input tokens into a string, which my tokeniser already knew how to deal with. However, this added much processing overhead and made it harder to find out the position at which errors occurred. Spending the time to implement the token conversion made this step much easier Misplaced math errors When implementing error handling, I passed down the original position of each token in the input token array down to each step of the calculation process. However, because my evaluator is recursive, it would constantly update the error position to the latest token, meaning the errors were always placed at the end. This was an easy fix in the end - but hard to spot! 📈 Next steps Immediate: Buttons input Add remaining functions (once buttons are added can be done) Medium: Multi-line calculation (Ans) and setting variables Implement polar/rectangualr conversion (delayed until UI is more fleshed out) Build UI Long-term (but getting closer!): Create a usable UX Ship :)
calc82: Devlog #7 21/07/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog follows the introduction of an actual user interface to my calculator. 🌟 New functionality summary Grid of calculator buttons Different button output when modifiers pressed Navigation buttons work Calculator resembles a real calculator 👇 Button handling The calculator needed buttons resembling that of the Casio to fulfil my purpose. Buttons are dynamically built from an array, which defines their labels and actions. This allows easy changes. For most buttons, the area surrounding the button also acts as a clickable area for better touch input. However, I didn’t find an easy way to do this for the navigation buttons (which are positioned off the grid). 🎨 CSS CSS Grid allows a 2D layout system based on rows and columns. It has been supported by all major browsers since October 2017. CSS Grid was used, as it allows consistent positioning across browsers. In addition, relative units were used to prevent resizing the calculator from affecting it. This should make it easier to make dynamic sizing in the future. 🗒️ Notes Accessibility <button> s are preferred over clickable <div> s because they work with screen readers and legacy browsers . However, I also made the surrounding elements clickable for a better touch experience. Also, keyboard input will make use significantly easier for computer users. Aesthetics The CSS applied so far is purely functional. In the future, I will improve the aesthetics of the calculator through CSS - but for now, this barebones look makes development easier and more focused. 📈 Next steps The todo list was getting too empty, so it has been updated with new tasks Immediate: Add remaining functions Add keyboard shortcuts Medium: Add menu system and settings Multi-line calculation (Ans) and setting variables Implement polar/rectangualr conversion Add other modes (STAT, VERIFY) Add Long-term: Create a test suite to ensure there is no unwanted behaviour Ship :)
calc82: Devlog #8 12/08/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone Sorry its been a while since the last devlog, I’ve had this one sitting for a while and not had the chance to finish and post it. This devlog follows the improvement of the user interface to my calculator, as well as the addition of variables . 🌟 New functionality summary Add keyboard mappings for buttons Variables - assign and recall Navigate through history Recall history and edit it. 🦋 Modifier keys It was difficult porting the modifier (shift/alpha) keys to keyboard because Shift is used to type symbols such as + and *, and there is also a Shift key on the calculator… My solution was making tapping shift without any other input to toggle the calculator shift modifier, and combining it with another key to not toggle it. 🗒️ Notes Use of the calculator I’ve actually started using the calculator in class, and it’s been faithful to the original so far (for implemented functionality). I still don’t really trust it though and want to run it through some formalised tests before shipping. Keyboard mappings So far, I have been hardcoding keyboard mappings based on what feels natural to me. However, it would probably be better to have user-editable mappings for other people to customise. 📈 Next steps Immediate: M+ and M- special variable Variable and history persistence in the browser Implement polar/rectangualr conversion Medium: Add menu system and settings Add other modes (STAT, VERIFY) Create a test suite to ensure there is no unwanted behaviour Long-term: Tidy up visuals Ship :)
calc82: Devlog #9 31/08/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog follows the addition of menus and the status bar to my calculator. 🌟 New functionality summary Extensible menu system that allows for easy creation of paginated and nested menus Status bar with indicators that change based on the current calculator state M+ and M- special variables Mixed fraction display 📋 Menu system The menu system uses a dictionary to encode the menu pages and their entries, making it easy to add new menus. However, I couldn’t find a way to easily encode functions and arguments in this structure, so the actual actions are handled by a big switch statement. When the menu is active, most buttons have no action and the input/output display is hidden. 🧀 Status bar The status bar consists of a row of elements with adjustable opacity (to represent their active state). It is handled by a class which allows items to be toggled with a single method call, meaning it can retroactively be integrated into other components. The original calculator has some menu elements that can never be activated - for example, there is a complex mode indicator, but the calculator cannot show complex numbers. I omitted these on calc82, as they took up unnecessary space. 📈 Next steps The project is almost nearing completion :) I made complete list of every feature missing from the calculator (too long to post here). It should should get shorter every devlog from now! Hopefully I can finally ship this project in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for reading :)
calc82: Devlog #10 2/09/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog follows the addition of a lot of small features to my calculator that were last on my to-do list, as well as a slight shift in scope. 🌟 New functionality summary Colon operator for multiple operations Saving variables and settings to LocalStorage Clearing this memory Polar and rectangular coordinates (finally!) Forward delete key (keyboard only) Scrolling screen with a nicer cursor! Colon operator This is an operator I’ve never used on my calculator, but its quite powerful. you can type Ans+1:Ans*2:Ans^2 and it will calculate the first expression, then the second, and so on until it loops back to the start. ➡️ Forward delete Although this functionality is not part of the original calculator, it makes it much more pleasant to use on a computer keyboard. This was implemented as a hidden button. Scrolling Scrolling was surprisingly easy to implement! The browser handles all of the hard work, and all I had to do was set the right CSS tags. Granted, with my CSS experience, this was still difficult, but I made it work in the end. 📈 Next steps I have decided to shift the current scope of the project (before shipping) to just be implementing the main compute mode . This means I will not need to do STAT, VERIFY or LINEIO mode. This is for three reasons: With my semester starting, I will not have as much time to work on this project before the deadline I have very little experience with using these other modes I want to focus my time on the user experience. With this shift in scope, the calculator part of the project is all but done - I only have three buttons remaining. (I had to push this devlog out before 10 hours, which is why they’re not done). Then, I can focus on adding the surrounding UI and UX, which should make it actually possible for other people to use my project. Thanks for reading :)
calc82: Devlog #11 6/09/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog follows the addition of a few final features to my calculator, and then my worst nightmare, frontend UI 😧 🌟 New functionality summary Prime factorisation using Pollard’s rho algorithm Engineering notation button Degree/minute/second output button CSS styling!! + menu bar buttons Fixed some input quirks Dark and light mode (based on system default) with manual toggle 🐚 Pollards rho algorithm for prime factorisation Prime factorisation or integer factorisation is the decomposition of a positive integer into a product of integers. The simplest way to implement this is trial division , which is straightforward but has O(√n) time complexity. I thought this would be too slow, so I decided to implement Pollard’s rho algorithm. This has a nicer complexity of O(√p) where p is the smallest prime factor of the number. However, further observation showed that that the Casio calculator probably doesn’t do this - for numbers without easy factors, it just doesn’t bother. Despite this, I’ve already implemented the algorithm, so I’m not going to remove functionality for the sake of exactly replicating the calculator’s behaviour. 🎨 CSS and styling My goal with the styling was to make the calculator as similar across browsers as possible. I bundled the Inter font (best font) into the program and removed browser-specific button styling. Implementing the CSS styling was mostly painless. I opted for a simple design with a menubar that adapts to horizontal or vertical depending on the window’s aspect ratio for the web app functionality. Additionally the css uses the system theme to automatically choose light or dark mode. 📈 Next steps This project is nearly finished - should only be one or two devlogs left until I ship. Here’s what I have left to do: Development Keybind show and edit Brief manual for each calculator function Info menubar button with author & project information, and disclaimers: that I am not affiliated with casio that the calculator is in a beta state and not guaranteed to be correct for all inputs Fullscreen button for mobile devices Preparation for shipping Webpack or similar Choose a license and publicise repo Write a readme Host on github pages (?) Hope that I did enough to not receive legal action from casio 🙃 Thanks for reading :)
calc82: Devlog #12 7/09/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog follows the addition of customisable and accessible keyboard bindings to my calculator. 🌟 New functionality summary Settings menu Switches between sidebar and popup dependent on screen width Key rebinding Flow of choosing button, then pressing key to rebind Stores in local storage Help hotkey Shows all currently bound keys. Key hint consideration The default keyboard map has been implemented as a const dictionary for a while now, allowing lookup of buttons from keyboard keys. This was extended with a user dictionary that can be dynamically updated. However, generating the help hotkey hints needed to go in the opposite direction of the dictionary. The naive approach of iterating through values to find a key for each would perform poorly with O(n^2). Instead, we precalculate a reversed dictionary to lookup keyboard keys from each button. This precalculation is O(n), and setting the keys is also O(n), resulting in O(n) time overall. 📈 Next steps Development Brief manual for each calculator function (considering reusing the on click functionality from key mapper) ) Info menubar button with author & project information, and disclaimers Fullscreen button for mobile devices Preparation for shipping Webpack, choose a license, write readme, publicise repo, host. Thanks for reading :)
calc82: Devlog #13 9/09/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone This devlog follows the addition of help and about menus to my calculator, as well as bundling into one js file. 🌟 New functionality summary Help menu Lookup function by calculator button (reuses key bind selector logic) Q&A About page About the calculator Contribute Legal License All JS files are bundled into one file Service worker makes app available offline 📦 Bundling and service worker I chose to use esbuild for bundling. This allows the many JS files to be condensed down into one file, reducing the number of requests that need to be made. This build system is much simpler than other options such as node.js. I also added a simple service worker that caches all requests locally. This makes the calculator available offline. ⚖️ Licensing & Legal I chose GPLv3 for this project as it is an end-user product. Essentially, this means others are free to modify and distribute the project as long as they make the source available. I also added legal disclaimers to the about page of the calculator. 📈 Next steps Write the readme, publicise the repo, and host! Thanks for reading :)
calc82: Devlog #14 9/09/2026 calc82: because calculators are for everyone Final devlog. It’s done!! This last stretch was writing the readme and publishing everything to Github pages. You can now access it at https://rigelseven.github.io/calc82/ Now for a short reflection calc82 is the largest personal software project I have ever completed. This project taught me a lot about input parsing - specifically, tokenisers and syntax trees - and the importance of keeping a large codebase tidy . Overall, the structure of the project is well laid out. However, there are architectural decisions I made early on that I came to regret later (such as the fact that input is represented as a string, whereas it should probably be a tree). Developing calc82 also showed me that I am capable of putting together such an app from scratch. I’m pleased to have participated in Stardance and be given this opportunity.
Ships:
What did you make? calc82: A calculator web-app inspired by the Casio fx-82 series of scientific calculators. These calculators are common in high schools in my country. My project simulates the behaviour of the Casio calculator, while maintaining a good user experience on both desktop and mobile. What was challenging? Creating reliable algebraic (non-linear) input parsing was the most difficult part of the project. This was because it required some difficult array traversal to avoid invalid states - even one mistake would break the whole input. It took a lot of iterations to get to a working input system that passed all my tests. Close contenders for most challenging were the sheer volume of functions I needed to implement, as well as all possible states the calculator can be in. However, the challenge for this was finding time to get around to everything, rather than technical challenge. What are you proud of? I’m most proud of my implementation of the input-to-result pipeline. I was able to incorporate new-to-me concepts such as tokenisers and abstract syntax trees, yet the resulting code is arguably the cleanest part of the program. I’m also proud of the responsive layout, which supports desktop and mobile well, and that the user experience is similar enough to the Casio that my muscle memory carries over. Finally, I’m proud that I managed to finish the project, as it’s the largest software project I’ve ever managed to complete.

On 2 June, I started a project. The idea was to build a radio-controlled car in the shape and style of a Formula 1 car, but I wanted to build the whole thing myself from scratch.

At the end of the day software development is about shaping the user experience and design a product that solved the problem and is worth using. I used AI to aid me with the tedious work that would have otherwise been impossible within my timeframe of less than 2 weeks. ⠀ Cutting to the chase this dance game was made for a local competition in my country. The theme for the competition was about how culture can be preserved using technology. The full project also includes a physical arcade style device with a dancing servo robot with 6 joints (excluding knees). ⠀ The goal of the project is to act as an entry point for students in Singapore to learn more about cultural dances in Singapore.

I am working on a dance app for a local competition where the theme is robots meet culture, so the idea is to make a software based dance game that will help users traditional dances and compete with their friends through dancing. Thus far, i have added in the ability to dance to a song and a learn mode which lets you move ur body to the different dance moves at ur own pace. Selection menu to choose song and select whether they wanna learn or dance (compete mode) to that song Soon i will be making compete mode a local 1v1 and add in a main menu like in minecraft for settings, quitting and entering the actual game.
Features added: Working main menu page hosted on github itself to try ability to send serial input to an ESP controlled robot doll Additional Screen Effects added Leaderboards system to help compete mode
Added: Made all the songs more stable and lenient in detection for compete mode (took up a lot of time) added fun facts for each mode Made the select mode have a bg The grading system us revised to work on score rather than accuracy percentage Leaderboard badges

Before you guys review this project poorly for the usage of AI, I would wanna make it clear that i still learnt a really good amount of development. At the end of the day software development is about shaping the user experience and design a product that solved the problem and is worth using. I used AI to aid me with the tedious work that would have otherwise been impossible within my timeframe of less than 2 weeks. ⠀ Cutting to the chase this dance game was made for a local competition in my country. The theme for the competition was about how culture can be preserved using technology. The full project also includes a physical arcade style device with a dancing servo robot with 6 joints (excluding knees). ⠀ The goal of the project is to act as an entry point for students in Singapore to learn more about cultural dances in Singapore. I chose to approach the preservation of culture via learning cultural dances as it bypasses any linguistic barriers to make it more widely accessible to better serve as an entry point for younger kids to have at least a faint idea on how other cultures are like. ⠀ With about 28 hours spent on coding this and countless more on the hardware, ideation, documentation, admin and much more, I managed to clench first place in the competition.

Finished searchEngine, I decided to use the built-in Kotlin’s string searching, modified app.kt and hotkeys.kt for integrating ctrl+f(search) and ctrl+h(search and replace) Everything worked normally during the test, now aiming to make the UI to integrate to the app.
added auto closing brakcets, and still fixing search amd replace
Im still working on findbar focus requesting, probably wont add devlogs more until i fix it
Can anyone help me?

I made an icon based sidebar with tooltips once hovered! Now working on making temp file execution(aka no need to save to execute, perfect for prototyping)
Improved UI! and tab support still in demo details: I added a terminal button at the sidebar to toggle visibility and also made the terminal vertically resizeable
Wow, tab handling went easier that what I was expecting..
Fixing tabs
I’ve been working on this feature that opens a folder to show a structure of the project but for some reason it crashes when opening an markdown file, I’m trying my best to fix it, I suspected it was the lexer trying to analyze through it and exploded because it wasnt python syntax, but even after disabling the lexer is still freezes, and crashes, the weird part is that i can’t close it with alt f4…. Btw for the ones who don’t know I absolutely gave up on making the find and replace bar work
I found the problem, it was becuase the file was too large it takes a minute to load and render, I’m trying to optimize by not giivng BasicTextField a big file in once, and while I’m fixing that, I added a user warning
guess what guys, I discovered a new bug sitting there and I went fixing it before it was reviewed for ship
Improved README as shipping staff said
Finished fixing terminal bugs, moved the toggle button of PowerShell and output console to the bottom and added a stop button

Why is react so painful? anyhow I made a router without styling yet with react-router-dom and so yeah that’s progress :’). I’m getting used to the react-router-dom way of things and having to configure main.jsx and stuff it’s so painful LOL
Added a hero to the website. It’s currently a placeholder, I’m working on a swiping photo gallery as the hero. I also styled everything with tailwind-css because I’m trying to get used to it.
I implemented Splide JS into the website so it could create this photo gallery carousel!! i’m so proud of it! and the syntax for Splide was surprisingly easy and intuitive–I followed a tutorial on Medium to understand how to use it. The home page is already looking more polished.
Card Component + Card Grid Both are reusable! Card Component I create InfoCard.jsx component which makes these light blue cards. I used props for the first time, so you can pass in an argument making these components completely reusable across the platform! Card Grid I created an array of cards and then passed them through the Card Grid. I made it so that the cols prop you pass in leads to the amount of columns created with Tailwind CSS by assigning 1 to “grid-col-1” etc etc in an object and then using that for part of the Tailwind CSS for the Card Grid. super simple logic but im still proud nevertheless LOL
Reworked some card grid component logic I heard it’s better to create an array of the props rather than an array of the cards, so after struggling a bit I got to do it the conventional way with array mapping! Not entirely sure what the individual mapping keys are for but I will look more deeply into that. It says online that you have to keep keys stable so that React knows which item you’re referencing but don’t totally understand why it would need to know that lol
Added card types and prop types to specify the kind of card design you want I added different card types, and so now you can switch between them. So CardGrid is extra reusable LOL This is through capitalized variables that I just learned! I could work logic between choosing components using a capitalized variable (yk the one that uses PascalCase)
Added footer + more I added a footer to the home page to make it feel more complete Number animations now the number statistics animate when you scroll upon them. so i attached a video to show u what that looks like. I used the NumberFlow React library–it was pretty intuitive itself but then i had to use useState, useEffect, and useRef hooks and understand how to use those and how to defer the useEffect until the window detects it 😭 😭 u can do it with the native .getBoundingClientRect tho and u have to do it to an element you want to be the trigger, in my case i made the card the trigger, so if it shows then the animation will happen. and then make sure it’s less than window.innerHeight and element’s position.bottom must be greater than 0, which means that the element is below the top edge of ur screen holy yap but this is how i teach myself bc that was something new for me 😭
Added project carousel! React component I used React to make a reusable image carousel thing where you can pass an array of photos as an argument and it will put it into the the SplideJS slides Used SplideJS again Added a featured projects carousel that has some cool projects that our Code Without Borders Bootcamp participants made!! Added arrows to the carousel too Tailwind Added a gradient background for aesthetic purposes :) Challenges I generally had a hard time figuring out how to style the features component–it was really looking rough to start with but we landed on something 😭 I think the gradient helped a lot Additional information I also tweaked styling for the rest of the webpage I added some join buttons and linked the donation page Updated the impact numbers Future additions About to add the proper join form and also get started on the about us page :D
Finished About Me Page + program page struggles Finished the about me! It’ s a simple about me page; I got inspiration from other NPO about me pages online! Program Page work in progress I’m trying to use the same components across two pages for information cards on the programs we do, but the cards need to be two different heights. I’ve been hacking at this for a while but I’m going to rest before I try resolving this problem again :’))))) (as you can see the images go off the cards for this second component. I want each card to be a standardized height but differ across pages. gl to me in the future lol) Future additions After I finish adjusting these card heights, my website will be finished! I just need to hook it to our website domain and replace our outdated website!! yayyy
FINISHED THE SITE!! I added mobile compatibility The site was looking really good until someone looked on it on their phone or something other than a desktop, so this was the final element to ship it! No more fixed widths The fixed widths, I found, were the culprit for all the breaking when the website was viewed in other dimensions, so I made use of sm:some property and md:some property and lg:some property in tailwind and also w-full and max-w-some number to make the cards flexible depending on the dimensions it’s viewed from NAVBAR I’m really proud of this because I used useState for the first time on an actual website to create the hamburger navigation thing. It opens like a set of links if you click it and the text changes from a three-line hamburger thing to an x. useState is actually amazing so many use cases Challenges The main challenge was just tweaking what text/font sizes should go with sm/md/lg displays–just a lot of trial and error Another challenge was making the hamburger opening look good because the background was only coloring to the height of the navbar,, I realized that I needed to move the appearing navigation outside of the navbar and it worked wonders Future additions Just if the nonprofit gets more metrics or after outreach initiatives it’s apparent we’re missing some important content. but it’s done and I’m going to ship this!!
Ships:
I made a revamped webpage for Rural Coders Society, a fiscally sponsored project under Hack Club! This was my first time using full blown React for an actual project, so there was a huge learning curve. But I’m really proud with how it turned out! Challenges: Using external libraries like NumberFlow and SplideJS for the first time (lots of documentation to read D:) Gauging what I should make a component and what I should just put on the page Making the card system modular (esp for different amounts of content and such) and streamlining the process of adding cards to the website Using useState for the first (practical) time to make a navbar :0 What I’m proud of: I’m proud that I overcame these challenges despite it being discouraging at times How I was able successfully integrate external libraries and troubleshoot through card issues and being stubborn to not use AI to debug (it was tempting but I know I wouldn’t learn) Using TailwindCSS for the first time and it’s actually so good I don’t think I can return to regular CSS anymore I’m glad I was able to reference other sites on the web and somewhat replicate it with react and tailwind with my own creativity on my own page Using and understanding how to use react routes and Link elements You can check the page out at www.ruralcoderssociety.org ! Thanks for reading :))))...

I made this mostly to learn Cad and proper Design, aswell as how to work with PyQt and the Arduino IDE Along the way I made semi Custom libraries to control the servos and stepper along with TMC2209 motor driver, learnt Fusion 360 from Scratch and got the basics of PyQt, PySerial and matplotlib.

Its hit or miss, some parts work, others dont. printed Parts. As you can see in the picture, i started printing some parts from the Cad i was confident int, though i need to adjust some tolerances. (They were all printed on a Prusa Mini+ with .2mm layer height) Bad stuff: To power the motors I need a better power supply than a 9v battery. Will probably buy an adjustable psu soon, since i dont want to power every project off of a battery pack, but itll be expensive… the base of the arm also probably needs a slip ring (if anyone has ideas to not need one im very open) and some longer wires. Thats why im having problems with the cad design, since i failed to account for those thing. Forgot to track pretty much all the Cad work with lookout (who on earth remembers to turn that on…) Problems are a bit of a bummer, since it means waiting on parts to arrive and, since im great at procrastinating, my summer break is going to be over somewhat soon. Thx for reading my rant, thx to the contest organisers and if anyone has a recommendation for a reliable adjustable PSU or knows a design workaound for sliprings Please hit me up!!
Devlog 2 Ive been a bit lazy as always Good news Though: the entire software side of things is pretty much finished! The Stepper Motor for base rotation is using the AccelStepper ( by Mike McCauley ) alongside a custom wrapper class to work with degrees and some QoL functions. The 2 MG90s Servos use the SeroEasing library (by Armin Joachimsmeyer) to smoothly move to the desired position. This means that all motors can now move the respective degrees calculated by the arduino, which receives the desired Coordinates from the desktop programm. Bad News: Still have to do the entire goddamn CAD. i dont wannaaaa :( .
Devlog 3 School’s back, but so am I! Havent had a lot of time recently as you can tell, but im here to present the finished CAD!!! im very glad I don’t have to deal with Fusion 360 for a bit. Im pretty happy with how everythin turned out, the design is pretty decent, the file is Solidly parametric, just tolerances between the printed and non printed parts are going to be a hassle. To be fully honest though, the design is probably hot ass, i have no idea if any of it will hold up assembled, torque calculation for the length of the arms was all done on a complete whim, but hey, I made it and it’s mine :) I have some free time this weekend and nothing better to do, so im really sprinting to finish this project and assemble everything. Part of the work has already started, I just hope im not underestimating the time soldering will take. note: in red, all parts to be printed
Final Devlog I shall never give time estimates again So obviously didnt finish it that weekend and the couldnt work on it for a week because of School Nevertheless i had to make some small adjustments in the design as i had to change one of the motors and have a different way to attach the Motors to the axles. Unfortunately i dont have a proper soldering setup, which is why the wiring is done near entirely with Crocodile clamps. Finally though i am finished, achieving my main goal of creating a 2 segment arm that can move to specified coordinates with an IK-solver, and learnt a lot on the way there. Am shipping soon, thanks for your time.
Ships:
A 3D Printed, 2 Segment Robotic Arm with IK Solver Find the Code at: https://github.com/MoustacheBob/2-Segment-Robotic-Arm/tree/main Find all models at: https://www.printables.com/model/1837281-simple-2-segment-robotic-arm I made a mostly 3D printed robotic Arm, thats controlledusing an Arduino doing the Inverse Kinematics calculations for the coordinates sent by a custom PyQt Desktop GUI. I made this mostly to learn Cad and proper Design, aswell as how to work with PyQt and the Arduino IDE Along the way I made semi Custom libraries to control the servos and stepper along with TMC2209 motor driver, learnt Fusion 360 from Scratch and got the basics of PyQt, PySerial and matplotlib. Note: I do not recommend recreating anything here as it is probably hopelessly flawed. In the demo video you will se me have to hold it down as i was too lazy to make a proper mount and smoother simultaneous movement of the motors would be possible if that would not surpass the current Limit of my Power supply. In the future I might expand the concept to a 6 dof Arm, though not as the very next project....

A Gift For Anime Fans, Building a Vinland Saga Web-Based OS
Oh Finally now its far better than before after searching hours i found a perfect background for my OS, and i also changed the background color and text color of the pannels to make it look much better and match the theme. The most difficult part was choosing the theme color that will look perfect with the background and ancient theme, currently its not haiving much features but soon it will look greate with useful features (Maybe😅) oh and i fogot to tell that i also make some windows movable anywhere on screen
Sooo… Finally New Features Added To Vinland Saga OS the most dangerous part was literally JavaScript 😭 Added a Side bar for apps icon and add a image at the top of it to make it look badass. Add a Quick Notes App that took me two Daaays because to make it draggable, open and close using java script ( Its my fist time of using Java script 😭) Still Adding new Apps and features 😉 (oh and also added a custom knife cursor but you cant see it in the screenshot)
Late Night New Features Update to Vinland Saga OS Today before adding new feature i thought to modify theme colors because they were looking boring so first i change the color, and then i started to add more features to my OS but i dont have any new feature idea after searching and thinking here and there i thought to add a song and a gallery, so first i downloaded a Vinland Saga opening song and some images stolen from Pinterest 😅, and start building the features and here the results are in front of you…(Please let me know I you like it😥) Now tomorrow i will add more features
Finally Its Time To ship (Vinland Saga OS v0.5) Completed This Time i added many new features like opening and closing the windows/Apps, Actually my app are like widgets on screen, i also a pre loading screen, added more images to gallery and made a new beautiful clock widget. Now Its time for Just a final polish and Doneee…
(Vinland Saga OS v0.6) Final polish has been completed and now i am finally shipping it. In the final polish i added Vikings Norse symbols to the OS and added more images to the gallery. Finding and editing the Norse symbols to match the theme took me too much time. Soo tell if something can be improved. BTW I’m going to ship it…😄
(Vinland Saga OS v0.7) Added 4 new features. Today, in this, i added many new features to enhance the user experience, The first thing I added is to open the gallery image in full screen when clicked. The second and best feature i added is to save whatever you write in notes so that every time you open it you can see and intract with your saved notes.

Hey there i created the Copy-Paste-Pad, a macropad able provide up to six clipboards at the same time. So 6x more than normaly possible under windows. For this you have a so called copy mode (left down button) and a paste mofe (right down button) after activating the specific mode each click at the remaining keys triggers an specific copy or paste event for the pressed key slot. This happenes in a laptop sided software, reacting on hid signals from the device to trigger strg + c or strg + p to copy something and than store it in one of the 6 Storage variables. Creating this laptop sided software was really challanging in comparison to the firmware for the macropad itself due to how hid events work and to copy something without loosing the original clipboard context. I really hope you all like this project as much as i do. I am really proud of the geberal design and look of everything...

Devlogs:
working on the wiring of the tomogachi pet n stuff no coding yet has a touchscreen now
added functionality to the pet and added made a separate smaller one. It now has multiple moods with the ability to sleep when lights are dimmed enough.
Added status lights; finishing off full basic functionality for the pet. any additional features would be improvements, hardware additions, and wiring. full explanation of functions below: The “pet” is a TFT resistive touchscreen. Its face, as you can see, is a simple white and black pixelated look. 4 functions (for now): lonely - after 30 seconds of no interaction, after waking up or not being pet, it will become lonely, which is a sad face of course. The backlight glows a gloomy blue, slightly purple. neutral - base face, the pet is neutral when it isn’t lonely, had just woken up, and had recently been pet. the 3 other moods can occur when it is neutral. the backlight is white. sleeping - when the ambient light is low enough the pet will sleep.

(the 35 minutes logged was for fixing the code and adding the lights. Not the full code itself.)
Added a gyroscope so the pet can become dizzy when shook. It features a red backlight, and remains dizzy for about 5 seconds. It was really a 20-30 minute setup after learning how to code and use one, and installing the libraries, but that extra addition turned into hours of additional troubleshooting since I was unfamiliar with the hardware. I eventually got it working after plenty of trial and error, and the real issue was just a couple lines of code. I’m unfortunately not getting much views, which is discouraging, but if you do come across this and decide to click on it, please suggest something in the comments. Thanks.
Added extra personality. If you plug a red LED in, it will get a more of a moody personality. It will look angry, sleep angry, and will usually just be angry (shaken face does not change.) unplugging the red LED will make it instantly revert to default personality let me know other interchangeable personalities I should add, or other software and hardware suggestions. Thanks.
Ignore devlog: Tried making online demo but i pressed a button and all my tabs refreshed all at once and reset my work. Im publishing the devlog because i still did the work and i dont want it to go to waste (IGNORE THIS DEVLOG)
Added another personality, shy. added “cores” that determine the personality when plugged in, red for moody and blue for shy. unplug for normal. The shy personality features new unique faces. led colors and shaken face remain same
Rewired to remove clutter. Back isn’t looking too good but the front is, when I run out of ideas ill probably build a shell for it please make recommendations
built an extension for the pet. It connects to the pet using gnd and 4 labeled gpio pins, though the 4th one connects to 0 and not 40. It works somewhat like a stream deck; It opens 2 games, 2 code editors, a browser, and shuts off or closes tabs on my computer without needing special permissions, it is built for windows though. Most of the hours logged came from trial and error. Most of the time the buttons wouldnt register, spam the same commands, double clicks wouldnt register, and it was a mess for hours. did some bugfixes involving screen bugs during personality swaps, and the pet “forgetting” its personality. please suggest additional ideas.
working on a software version of my project 🔥 I main micropython but I’m adjusting to python for this and learning the different ways things are written, and figuring out how to make faces. Can anyone tell me if theres a designer that gives you the code when you draw something on a canvas? similar to lopaka?? The software version is projected to have more features for computer control than the hardware version. After finishing the faces and overall logic, I will add the additional side controls for it, like light and stuff
added lonely, smile, and neutral, also added placeholders for the soon to be added personalities and a brightness slider. Both are unfunctional and i only have the 3 faces for now. go check out my hardware version, its fully functional
finally added a sleep system, dimming system, and a fully fixed and functional lonely system. when lights are at or below 50, the lights will go dim, and below 25, they will go even dimmer, and it will sleep (software) I will the face variants next, and then actual interactive computer controls. shy and moody are still not ready yet
My windows OS broke, not sure how, so im running on my second SSD and my most recent work has been erased! (software version) random thumbnail ig but im gonna be re-doing whatever has been erased..
Got back on track, finally! It now gets visibly dim below 50 value on light, and dark below 25, along with squint and sleep. Im now going to begin working on the other expressions after I finish adding the dim to smile and alone faces. This thing is ending soon so idk if i will be able to add the computer control functions as promised :( I also switched to cachyos so Idk how that would go either. Check out the hardware version on my page though! its finished
im starting work on the radiobuttons for interchangable personality to wrap up the project. im using placeholders so the face looks red if the radiobuttons are selected so it would look unpleasant to see but yeah
finally finished the 2nd personality. will be shipping my project. only thing left to do is fix bugs (i already scanned software and hardware for bugs. though the code seems somewhat contradictory to itself, it still works but please report bugs under this one’s comment and check out my submission and the demo video!
got mad countless times. Im doing my CAD for my project because youll now get permanently rejected if you miss it and i never knew. Im making the screen myself because i cant find it online. Below is a picture of how its assembled so far, and i would post the part im making right now but this just looks better. Also, does the CAD have to be fully accurate? ive never done a CAD before so parts i make myself may look off but ill try my best to make the measurements right.
Im very proud of my work! i finished up the screen, fixed misalignments, ensured precision, and in the end, everything fit perfectly!
Finished adding modules like the LEDs, resistors, etc. All i need now is the wiring which i heard is tedious
spent this hour troubleshooting and figuring out how to add wires. was super unsucessful and wasted my time. im pretty annoyed
Ships:
I made a tamagotchi pet (i am aware that throughout the project, the spelling of it has been inconsistent) But anyway, what i found most challenging was having to look through the loop constantly making adjustments based off minor errors during each test run and incorrect wiring making me feel like i had the code wrong. I am proud that I learned surprisingly a lot. The screenshot is merely just part of it and you should check it out yourself! both the source for the software and hardware is in there.

It’s random, also random scale and rotation so every loot looks unique. Cleaned project files and code There were a lot of trash files. I stored there every animation frame, even though i had spritesheet ready. Also code comments and prints. Cross Update No more green dot. Now I use special icon with shader! I think it looks good enough. README There is not much there, but small description, instructions and links are inside. IM SO EXCITED 30 hours is so much for me, I thought I will be working on this for 10? maybe 15 hours… That took a lot more time, but still I think i made really good job in quite small amount of time.

There was a lot of work but I’m almost ready with the project. Here I come with 7 hours of coding and drawing assets. Major things that changed: THE NAME I think about… PiratINK….. Yup y’know. Pirating and INK. Something like that. Main Menu As you can see in the video there are small animations in it. The waves show in music beat (but for some reason OBS wasn’t recording the intro of music?), then Ship arrives. It floats on the water, synched with waves moving. I think it looks awesome :D Sounds There is music now in my game! I used sonatina - infinity-crystal (its on itch). I love how it sounds. This RPG music is doing well in my project and you can feel the battle on the sea. Large Enemy Last enemy i had to draw. I think it looks good enought. At first I wasn’t so sure about it, but now i think it’s okay. Cannonballs Now there are 6 unique sprites. Also size is random and rotation of each ball, so every feel unique. And more… A LOT of bug fixes, game feel etc etc. I hope you will like the game! I’m so close to release and I’m really really excited!

Upgrade Cards got major update! Upgrade Cards Scene I’m now using a different scene for selecting upgrades. You can see 5 different card borders (dont look at the rare one, it was a placeholder and it looks terrible, so I will change it in the near future) Debuffs It now works perfectly fine! Last time enemies could run away from you instead of slowing down. Other really weird things kept happening… But now everything is under control 25 Unique Upgrade Cards I have 8 categories of upgrades, but you can get them in different rarities, so you can get a lot of power ups and debuffs to use on enemies! Main Menu Main menu has two sliding buttons, it will look cool when i’ll draw a big ship so the menu isn’t that empty. Options You can disable: camera shake, water; And you can enable player stats (i don’t think it will have any special styling, just plain text for nerds idk :D) Medium Enemy Added As always -> 3 frames for an enemy sprite. I wonder if the player should be able to upgrade their ship to this one… Maybe in some super-giga-epicly-legendary-1% upgrade. Cannonball Update Cannonball Range It’s not that big, but not only the ball disappears when it exit your screen, but also after +-3seconds. I had to make a small animation for it, because if you have a really big camera zoom you could see it just popping up in the middle of nothing. Particles It’s small a thing but i think it feels better now with it implemented That’s not all I made a lot in those 6h, but school started and sometimes i had to just write code for 5 minutes to get the streak… So I kinda don’t really remember the mini stuff i did lol.

The school started so… Nothing will change (i hope) and I will still be able to work on my small game :DDD. Major things are: Enemy Debuffs You can now draw upgrades cards that change enemy stats! I’m using global scripts to do that, I think the idea is cool and you will be able to combo it quite easily with player’s upgrades Mini Enemy I made two things for this enemy: Middle Cannon 3 frame sprite Middle cannon works differently from Left/Right cannon -> enemy DOES NOT rotate before shooting at you. I think now it looks more realistic? idk Sprite is kinda cool. I like the oars animation… It’s silly but i like it Upgrades Menu In Level Up Menu you can now see your upgrades! The style is only temporary (i know it looks awful but i will change it! Promise!). I had troubles making this one because menu in godot is just pain… Much more small details!

Player UI I mean it’s only two bars but they work perfectly fine. They have small animations and are connected to the player. Player now collects exp with magnet area Player has an area where you can collect the exp and it will go straight to you! It’s a small circle and if you catch exp in it, the exp will go into your ship I have ‘TODO’ list There are over 20 things i have to do… I know this devlog looks crappy, like i didn’t do that much but trust there are A LOT of small changes.

It was simple at the beginning: Enemy just moved directly at you, and as you can imagine it wasn’t perfect. So I added Pathfinder (NavigatonAgent2D). Now enemies make space for each others… It still looks goofy and if there’s too many they just bump each other and still kill others… I have to manually change some properties and it will work more efficient (TRUST ME (maybe)) Some icons and cannonball I drew icons for almost all upgrades and, as you could see in the video, for the cannonball. Someone suggested that player’s and enemies bullets should be different -> yup, i agree i will probably add some shading/light on yours (like in isaac or something).

Pirate Rogue Like Game (day1+2) So i made basic systems: movement (click to move), enemies spawning and shooting. There are no textures yet but i want to try with some ink/paper design so it will look like a child is playing in his notebook or something.
Pirate Rogue Like Game (late 2 day) I added upgrade cards system, so you can choose 3 (i made only 2, so there are no 3 on screen…) and then the stats will apply to the player! Next, I will make a lot of those cards and probably start drawing, because those color rects and godot icons don’t fit at all. That’s all for today, have a marvelous day (or night)
Pirate Game - Textures and Upgrade Cards I added 10+ upgrade cards (mostly for testing). You can see the stats in top-left corner. I really like the ship texture. Even if it’s simple, I think the 3 frame animation looks really good. I also added a shader for the water (also i made the water texture) but something isn’t quite right… I’ll be changing it later! I had to change water’s brightness… Even though i wanted the game to be only 2 colors, I think that’s impossible because you can’t see shi…p. It messes up with the player and i think darker version isn’t that bad (i think).
Pirate Game - Testing & Updating I have much work to do… So i started with probably the major update in this devlog: Enemy pathfinding. It was simple at the beginning: Enemy just moved directly at you, and as you can imagine it wasn’t perfect. So I added Pathfinder (NavigatonAgent2D). Now enemies make space for each others… It still looks goofy and if there’s too many they just bump each other and still kill others… I have to manually change some properties and it will work more efficient (TRUST ME (maybe)) Some icons and cannonball I drew icons for almost all upgrades and, as you could see in the video, for the cannonball. Someone suggested that player’s and enemies bullets should be different -> yup, i agree i will probably add some shading/light on yours (like in isaac or something). Cannonball sprite looks a bit static so i wanna draw like 5 of those and change it mid-air. (IM NOT AN ARTIST SO PLEASE DON’T EXPECT ANYTHING CRAZY). Testing I did a lot of tests and minor changes, so i know what i should work on!
General Update I’ve added a lot of things! Most of them are really small changes that had to be done to upgrade the experience. Mainly: Upgrade Cards Rarities Now you have chance to get a card based on its rarity! # 0 - common; 1 - rare, 2 - epic, 3 - legendary const RARITY_WEIGHTS = { 0 : 40.0 , 1 : 30.0 , 2 : 20.0 , 3 : 10.0 } So it randomly chooses what cards are left and shuffles them! Player UI I mean it’s only two bars but they work perfectly fine. They have small animations and are connected to the player. Player now collects exp with magnet area Player has an area where you can collect the exp and it will go straight to you! It’s a small circle and if you catch exp in it, the exp will go into your ship I have ‘TODO’ list There are over 20 things i have to do… I know this devlog looks crappy, like i didn’t do that much but trust there are A LOT of small changes. I hope you like it!
Pirate Game Updates! I (again) made a lot of stuff. The school started so… Nothing will change (i hope) and I will still be able to work on my small game :DDD. Major things are: Enemy Debuffs You can now draw upgrades cards that change enemy stats! I’m using global scripts to do that, I think the idea is cool and you will be able to combo it quite easily with player’s upgrades Mini Enemy I made two things for this enemy: Middle Cannon 3 frame sprite Middle cannon works differently from Left/Right cannon -> enemy DOES NOT rotate before shooting at you. I think now it looks more realistic? idk Sprite is kinda cool. I like the oars animation… It’s silly but i like it Upgrades Menu In Level Up Menu you can now see your upgrades! The style is only temporary (i know it looks awful but i will change it! Promise!). I had troubles making this one because menu in godot is just pain… Much more small details! I did a lot, even small changed matter to me so i’m happy i improved some other, smaller things
Another Updates! As always, i made a lot of changes, so I will summarise most of the major ones! Upgrade Cards got major update! Upgrade Cards Scene I’m now using a different scene for selecting upgrades. You can see 5 different card borders (dont look at the rare one, it was a placeholder and it looks terrible, so I will change it in the near future) Debuffs It now works perfectly fine! Last time enemies could run away from you instead of slowing down. Other really weird things kept happening… But now everything is under control 25 Unique Upgrade Cards I have 8 categories of upgrades, but you can get them in different rarities, so you can get a lot of power ups and debuffs to use on enemies! Main Menu Main menu has two sliding buttons, it will look cool when i’ll draw a big ship so the menu isn’t that empty. Options You can disable: camera shake, water; And you can enable player stats (i don’t think it will have any special styling, just plain text for nerds idk :D) Medium Enemy Added As always -> 3 frames for an enemy sprite. I wonder if the player should be able to upgrade their ship to this one… Maybe in some super-giga-epicly-legendary-1% upgrade. Cannonball Update Cannonball Range It’s not that big, but not only the ball disappears when it exit your screen, but also after +-3seconds. I had to make a small animation for it, because if you have a really big camera zoom you could see it just popping up in the middle of nothing. Particles It’s small a thing but i think it feels better now with it implemented That’s not all I made a lot in those 6h, but school started and sometimes i had to just write code for 5 minutes to get the streak… So I kinda don’t really remember the mini stuff i did lol. But it’s there! See ya on the sea or something <3
(Probably) FINAL DEVLOG A lot happened, like always. There was a lot of work but I’m almost ready with the project. Here I come with 7 hours of coding and drawing assets. Major things that changed: THE NAME I think about… PiratINK….. Yup y’know. Pirating and INK. Something like that. Main Menu As you can see in the video there are small animations in it. The waves show in music beat (but for some reason OBS wasn’t recording the intro of music?), then Ship arrives. It floats on the water, synched with waves moving. I think it looks awesome :D Sounds There is music now in my game! I used sonatina - infinity-crystal (its on itch). I love how it sounds. This RPG music is doing well in my project and you can feel the battle on the sea. Large Enemy Last enemy i had to draw. I think it looks good enought. At first I wasn’t so sure about it, but now i think it’s okay. Cannonballs Now there are 6 unique sprites. Also size is random and rotation of each ball, so every feel unique. And more… A LOT of bug fixes, game feel etc etc. I hope you will like the game! I’m so close to release and I’m really really excited! Have a great day!
I’M DONE The game is out! I named it PiratINK like I said in previous devlog. I added some stuff, here it is: Exp Loot So now there are 3 random sprites for exp. No more yellow rectangle! It’s random, also random scale and rotation so every loot looks unique. Cleaned project files and code There were a lot of trash files. I stored there every animation frame, even though i had spritesheet ready. Also code comments and prints. Cross Update No more green dot. Now I use special icon with shader! I think it looks good enough. README There is not much there, but small description, instructions and links are inside. IM SO EXCITED 30 hours is so much for me, I thought I will be working on this for 10? maybe 15 hours… That took a lot more time, but still I think i made really good job in quite small amount of time. Yesterday I was so excited i didn’t record 2 sprites I draw… Ooops. I made resprite for rare card and cross icon… I had so much fun… and sometimes hard time, but overall it was fantastic. Check out the game <3
Quick README UPDATE I rewrote the readme, so it’s more fitting to the resources -> “Writing a README that doesn’t suck”… Also added some screenshots to readme.
Ships:
I made a survival, Vampire Survivors-like game! You control a ship that automatically shoots. I had so much fun creating this project—it’s only the second game I’ve ever created on a ‘professional’ level. For the art style, I wanted to try something interesting… imagine a kid drawing this game in their school notebook. I used just two main colors, and I hope the concept comes across clearly. I’m super proud of how it turned down, and I hope everyone has as much fun playing it as I did making it!...

Devlogs:
Devlog #1 I started making my own DIY Stream Deck! It runs on an ESP32 (CYD) and I named it ctrlPad. It features six buttons, each of which can be dynamically customized with different programs, actions, and macros. Just like the official Elgato software, the layout will be configured using an external desktop application. To keep it completely wireless, the configuration is sent via Bluetooth (BLE). Soon I build a custom driver then handles executing the programs or triggering actions (like muting the microphone). Thanks to all the customization options, every single ctrlPad will be completely unique!
Devlog #2 In this devlog the following things were done: Created the README.md and added some basic information Added the compilation database for PlatformIO Formatted all files with a code formatter (clangd) Applied the “camelCase” naming convention instead of “snake_case”
Devlog #3 These past few days were intense, packed with non-stop coding. Listing every single detail would take forever, so let’s skip straight to the highlights! Right now, the main focus is building the ctrlPad Desktop App. The central hub for configuring button layouts, custom actions, and more. The biggest decision? Tauri vs. Electron. The winner: Tauri. Because let’s be honest: Rust is king. Here is the quick breakdown of what went down: Firmware Repo: Added a brand-new, foolproof “Development Setup” section to the README.md. App Architecture: Kicked off the Tauri application and integrated TanStack Router for seamless navigation. UI/UX: Designed the very first frontend layout, complete with a sleek sidebar and the core button layout on the dashboard. The foundation is laid. Stay tuned!
Devlog #4 Today was a refactoring day! I updated the entire desktop UI and made everything cleaner. I also made it possible to connect to Bluetooth devices and send an example layout configuration to them.
Devlog #5 This update was all about tackling the tough stuff. First, I had to figure out how to scan and display every installed application on your system, a feature that turned out to be incredibly tricky to implement. After that, I spent a lot of time wrestling with the drag-and-drop system for the ctrlPad actions. It took a while, but it was worth it. To wrap things up, I also built a solid README to guide you through the development setup and other project essentials.
Devlog #6 In the last day, I was really busy and didn’t have much time to code, but I managed to accomplish some amazing things: CI/CD Pipeline: Created a pipeline to build the application automatically Tooling Integration: Added git-cliff for automated changelogs, alongside Prettier, ESLint, and commitlint for code quality Bug Fixes: Successfully found and resolved several existing bugs I also implemented real configuration uploads to the ctrlPad instead of using an example JSON string
Devlog #7 Today, I ventured into Inkscape to design an icon. I usually dread the intricacies of SVG creation, but, to my surprise, everything came together quite smoothly. With the design finalized, I generated the necessary icon variations and implemented them into the Tauri project. The icon is designed to be a clean, minimalist recreation of the CtrlPad.
Devlog #8 Over the past day, I built the CtrlPad daemon using Golang. This background service listens for commands sent from the CtrlPad via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). In the example below, you can see the daemon logs in action as it successfully receives and executes commands for “Spotify” and “Proton VPN”. To make things even smoother, I also wrote a dedicated installation script for the daemon to streamline the setup process.
Devlog #9 Things have been busy with school over the last two weeks, but I managed to make some solid progress on CtrlPad: Website Launched: Built the landing page using Next.js and published it live at ctrlpad.xyz Hosting: Configured my local home server to host the site directly. CI/CD Pipeline: Set up an automated CI/CD pipeline so future commits deploy automatically. Source Code: The website repository is open source on GitHub . Stay tuned!
Devlog #10 The last three days were pretty frustrating. In the last devlog I mentioned building a website with Next.js. But I soon realized a hero section wasn’t enough. I also needed documentation. So I set out to embed Markdown (Nextra). It was tedious work, and it took me over five hours to get it running (the /docs route just refused to render for the longest time).

I spent six-plus hours tracking that down. But it’s all working now and everyone can flash the board with my firmware! Amazing
Devlog #11 Last night I wanted to start publishing my ctrlpad-daemon library on the AUR, but it was down. So I released it on the Snap(craft) package manager instead. It took a while, but now it’s online! https://snapcraft.io/ctrlpad-daemon
#Devlog #12 The last two days I worked on releasing the daemon for Nix(-OS) users. It’s now available as a flake, so they can pull it in directly.
Devlog #13 Originally, I wanted to release both packages (daemon & desktop app) on the AUR, but it’s still down. So instead I released the desktop app on Nix with a flake. Now both packages are on Nix(-OS). I also released the desktop app on Snap.
Devlog #14 Today was a warm one, but I still managed to sit down at my PC :) I ended up writing some docs, mostly because I couldn’t decide what else to work on. Added installation instructions for the packages I released over the last few days. Nix and Snap. I couldn’t add the AUR one yet, since the AUR is still down and I haven’t been able to finish that release :( Wrote the README for Ctrlpad’s web project. It covers how to set up the web app and gives an overview of what the repo contains.
Devlog #15 I was on vacation for the last two weeks, so I didn’t get much done. But I’m back now. Since then I’ve been working on the hardware side: I 3D printed a case for the CYD, and it now sits perfectly on my desk. For now it’s a model from MakerWorld. I’d like to design my own later, but I haven’t had the time yet. I’m also working on a few fixes for the daemon. Unfortunately, I noticed that the problem with the path is still there. :(
Devlog #16 I wasn’t really motivated to code this last week. But I did build something for the desktop software! I created a color and icon selector. The icons are fetched from Simple Icons. It’s only the UI for now. The feature for the ctrlPad firmware is coming in the next version(s) :) Stay tuned!
Devlog # 17 Today I made it possible to send the button background color and the icon SVG to the BLE config. I also built a little preview (left corner). The next step is to display the SVG icon and the background color on the CtrlPad.
Devlog #18 Today I applied the features I built last week: editing button colors. One big problem was that I had used a button matrix, and it’s almost impossible to change the background color of just one button in a matrix. So I did some refactoring. I moved from a matrix to six normal, standalone buttons. After that, I wrote the functions to apply the config. In the pictures you can now see how it’s possible to change the button color you select in the app. (Please ignore my dusty, messy desk xD)
Devlog #19 I’m back after my first week of school after the holidays :) The newest update is that I implemented rendering for the icons you select in the desktop software. The mechanism behind it wasn’t easy, but here’s my final implementation: Each button’s icon arrives over BLE as a base64-encoded bitmap in the JSON config. renderIcon() decodes it and hands it off to changeIcon(), which builds an lv_image_dsc_t and assigns it via lv_image_set_src() to that button’s LVGL image widget or blanks it out if no icon string was provided. I also fixed some things in the Desktop software :) The next step, is making the config persistent on the ESP
Devlog #20 Today i created this fancy feature page on the website :).
Devlog #21 The last days I added some important updates to the Ctrlpad website: Major refactoring: Cleaned and reorganized parts Responsive design, full mobile and Tablet support The website is now better structured for future additions :)

Hello everyone! I built an Elgato Stream Deck alternative called Ctrlpad. Ctrlpad runs actions when you press its button. For example, opening applications like Discord really fast. It can genuinely improve your workflow. At the beginning I had trouble getting the Ctrlpad to communicate with my computer, but then I learned about BLE. I also coded a desktop app to configure the layout, colors, icons, actions and more. The ecosystem is only available on Linux for now, since I wanted to focus on the important things first. The project is split into three separate repositories: the Firmware (the code flashed onto the ESP), the Desktop Application (the interface used to configure actions like opening apps or changing the volume), and the Daemon (a background service that runs continuously on your computer to execute those actions)....

Basic Hover effect for button along with other basic thing I like to set up when I start a project
Currently very busy finishing up school but I was able to make a measured out map.
Added water around the islands and bridges connecting them. planning on locking in tomorrow
Added pathways and portals for obstacle courses, its so hard to make pathways… planning on making a lot of progress tommorow and waiting to finishing building so I can start scripting 🙏
I added the main element of the game and made a plot system that gives the player a plot when they load in. (lighting looks bad because it is not textured yet)
Made a save data storage script and a script to buy droppers I cannot figure out how to add code blocks so these terrible pictures will have to do
Made the buttons more appealing and rewrote the button purchasing script to make it less repetetive.
Made a whole pack of runic symbols that I will sell on roblox’s marketplace for $0.99 and made 10 models for my game planning on finishing the other 10 tommorow.
I made the second row this time. give me some feedback please i like any critisizm just keep in mind I litteraly just started learning. the first row is in my last post. happy to begin working on the main loop of the game soon.
i added coded the dropper models into the tower and now you can buy them and merge three to get the next level up. they also drop mini and simplified versions of themselves that the player can pick up for a currency that will then be turned into coins im super happy that this project is coming along and am looking forward to shiping it soon.
I finisshed the conversion sysstem that allows the player to convert thier needohs into monye finally completeing the core loop of the game. it is not playable and I will be debugging and decorating for the next 10-15 hours🥳🥳 then I can finally ship it I also completed a startup script so that all the UI can update when A player joins the game to display the correct prices and I watched a tutorial on how to make numbers with suffixes after them to make the pricees easier to read.
There are three pictures I really dislike UI but I am pushing through it and had some fun making the map more decorated. made a working teleport system. Next I will make a shop for the ingame currency and I will add background music as well as making the purchases work. I’m really enjoying this project and hoping to finish in the next week!! :)
Finished up the game early, a lot is not done but there will be an update hopefully before stardance ends
I replaced my script with a Module script allowing me to use the function in other parts of my game like when the player joins or amy other time I need to update the GUI. Mainly jut doing bug fixes right now before I add any more big features to the game and I dont really remember everything I did. :P
I added a parkour island as somthing to do while you passivly make money and the parkour will reward a new currency called gems which will be very useful in the future.
I made a new gem curency and fixed some more bugs that were pretty game breaking like things getting out of the droppers

Hi again! After a week of troubleshooting and struggling with Hackatime, I have finally finished the second Jam of the WebOS tutorial 😭. I removed the Ronaldo part (temporarily) but he will come back once I figure out how to add clickable elements in the OS. (the goat will come back).

Almost done Jam 3, looking to fix the close button option. I’m trying to make the wheel image a close button for the welcome window, but I am tired and I need to sleep so I will make that later.

Devlog #5 Almost (almost) finished Jam 3. The welcome window opens and closes properly, and the “Messing around” button opens the tab, while the wheel icon closes it.
Cleaned up my code. That’s pretty much all for today, just organised my in-line CSS into class-based CSS, and here are screenshots of my new code:
Finally finished the first half of Jam 4 (I know, I know, but I had exams, okay?). I have two windows, they both drag, open, close, and, on tap and on open, go on top of each other.

On the right is my new app and on the left is the JS code for it. Btw, if anyone here knows how to use the H1, H2, H3, without all of the text being affected please lmk in comments.
Planning to ship now! I have made a simple app, where if you click the “Messing Around” button, a random website gets opened. I also updated my README, and I think I’m ready to ship now. Here’s the list of all website the button can open and my JS for it:

Shifted the Bugatti Mistral and Elephant scene from Satin Black to a Pearl White look with Gold accents Materials: Swapped to Pearl White paint and refined the gold tusk details. Lighting: Built a dynamic outdoor environment with soft sky lighting and ground reflections. Animation: Keyframed smooth camera sweeps and light movements to highlight the body lines.
I Finshed animating and rendering the video.
I rerendered the video because it look so noisy and Chang the render engine to eevee to make it look better and it’s good to go and ship
Ships:
this is my video 3d project i make in blender, all of the details are in my readme :) hope you enjoy...

Setting up the background, top bar, window So far, I have followed the guide and created the background page with a top bar and created my first welcome page window (the content is random right now - I’ll update this later). The window is also draggable at the handle. I’m still working on what kind of style I want to aim for in my OS… Also, this is kinda my first devlog because I thought my devlogs were broken (turns out I just couldn’t figure out how to use this 💀)
Adding my second window I have begun working on my second window which will be a notes app. I continued to follow the guide and created an icon for the app and also a new window for it. It’s mostly taken a while to sort out the js file since I got confused with why the window wasn’t popping up at first (I didn’t name the classes and ids for the divs correctly). Here’s the update:
Working with z-index Continuing with the guide, I’ve added code that ensures that whenever a window clicks, it rises to the top using the z-index property. I did the same for the top bar. Bugs An issue I faced was when I tried to use the function addWindowTapHandling() for my notes screen but I forgot that I defined the notesScreen variable later on in js file so the notes app disappeared from my OS screen for a bit. I also got really stuck on why my top bar wasn’t rising above the windows so I put my js file into Gemini and I realised it was because I had two openWindow() functions and the second one was the old version that did not have the added lines of code.
Update JS code file structure + Creating the Notes app functionality I spent some time updating the structure of my js file by reordering some code and also creating functions for any repeated tasks such as initialising windows. I also worked on my Notes app and played around with some border and outline properties to see what combination of styles would make it easier for users to edit in the app. I ended up with going for a left border indicator type of thing (the colours in the screenshot below aren’t final since I haven’t worked on the overall style of my OS yet so I just went with grey and black)
idk - Notes app content update + element exceeding window bug?? I updated the HTML so that I can add content through JavaScript so it does not need to be hard coded into the HTML file. I spent of bit of time debugging this as I couldn’t figure out why some of the content I added to the Notes app was disappearing when I clicked it.

Using this, I implemented my own logic (with an if statement) to contain the element within the viewport height and width. This took a tiny bit of trial and error coz I kept getting confused on when to use min and when to use max but I got there eventually
Stopwatch App I found a video tutorial for making a stopwatch in JS. The original vid had three separate buttons for START, STOP and RESET, but I changed this so that the START and STOP button are combined together.
Made some quick updates to the desktop apps so that is is structured into a grid and also changed some content in the welcome and notes window
Ships:
I have finally made my first webOS with a welcome window, notes app and stopwatch app. The most challenging part of this project was learning to use JavaScript and trying to code some of the logic myself (and debugging it too!!)....
