I designed most of it with smaller screens in mind first, since my hope was to render it best on the screen of phones, then made sure everything held up on desktop too, using different tailwind classnames for different screen sizes so pages fit well on small, medium, and large screens alike. The home page is smaller and vertically centered rather than using the full width like the rest of the site, since it’s the first thing anyone sees and I wanted it to feel right on a phone before anything else. On the top left of the navbar, it dynamically renders the current page name based on the url you’re on, and on small screens the links collapse into a hamburger button that opens into a full screen menu. For the gallery, I built an indexed system that automatically tiles a group of photos and displays them, hovering a photo reveals its caption sliding up from the bottom. Originally the captions came from the photo’s filename, split by underscore, so each member of that array got appended with spaces to become the string making up the name of the place, which is what shows up on hover. The gallery is much nicer now and loads quickly too, since I wrote a js script to go through each image and compress it, taking the photos from 40 MB down to about 4MB, meaning the page loads much much faster. The two photos that are actually portraits of me get compressed less aggressively than the rest so they stay sharp, since those are the ones I want search engines to associate with my name. I wanted to make sure the site would be easy to add to in the future, so the projects page pulls automatically from a JSON file. I specify a title, date, description, image path, and links, where I just give a tag name for each link and it renders in a unified button format. These are autopopulated with reference ids and jump to the right spot automatically, going straight to that project’s section, and they also get added to a table of contents at the top automatically, so adding a new project is just adding a JSON entry, nothing else. Publications works the same way, off its own JSON file, showing the paper’s title, authors with my own name auto-bolded, venue and year, and the same flexible tag and link buttons as projects. The CV page is taken from the latex code of my actual resume, restructured into that same JSON format so it renders natively on the site instead of just being an embedded PDF, with the option to download the compiled latex pdf too. The publications section on that page pulls from the exact same JSON file the publications page uses, so I only ever add a new paper in one place and both pages stay in sync. The blog has search and topic filtering over a list of posts, and each post’s actual content is a static html file that gets fetched dynamically based on the url, so writing a new post is dropping in an html file and a metadata entry rather than writing more react. Contact is just emails and socials, written with brackets around the at sign to dodge the most basic scrapers. I put the site on google search console with a sitemap so it gets indexed properly, and spent time making sure page titles, descriptions, and image metadata are set up right so photos of me actually have a shot at showing up when people search my name, without cluttering the site with extra images just for that purpose. Overall I really love the theme of this site, with the blue accents, I got some inspiration from other research portfolios I’d seen. Before this it was pretty scattered, without a gallery or projects page, and mostly just had the home page with a weird VantaJS background running on it. Now it’s a lot more complete: a dynamic gallery, a projects page and publications page that both pull from JSON so they’re easy to keep updated, a CV page sourced from my actual resume, and a blog that can actually grow instead of being one hardcoded post.", "repo": "https://github.com/ElijahFeldman7/portfolio", "demo": "https://elijahwfeldman.com"}]...

Setting up the very basic function
Day 2, spent most of my time today going back and forth with the server trying to get it to respond with the session info, in the end it seems the problem was the wrongly named race course, e.g. Monte Carlo vs Monaco, so got that fixed and I can now get the proper token for the session so progress should speed up from here, the other two things I got done was setting up the error codes so I could quickly identify the issue and began setting up a better user input system for simplicity, but all good things come in time
FINALY got it running on linux, added terminal interface so it doesnt take 5 minutes each time to select a track, and you can immediately get into the f1 action. It can now go and actually get the data so its not just a blank page, kinda a necessary part. Then spent close to an hour trying to sort the data, apparently “Sakhir” has an h in it which messed up all my code, its inefficient, terribly written, but it works so… And then finally I added a user interface because not everyone’s a nerd like me who likes staring at console screens. MORE F1 GREATNESS COMING SOON
It does stuff now, yay, you can actually get back the driver speed and their gear and stuff, tried to make website gui but the diffrent code laungages have decided to gang up on me to make this task as hard as possible so I’ll hopefully finish that tomorrow. So far the website looks very unintresting but so be it, thats later me’s problem.
So I know it’s been a couple of days since my last update but for the past 2 days everything refused to work, most of my fixing wasn’t even me writing code just adjusting browser and html settings. I finally caved in and switched to an app ui for stability because the website keeped crashing. and after about 2 hours of work everything just started working, I can start graphing the speed gear that sort of stuff and even draw the track map so in the future I can animate it, this project is coming along really well, I look forward to sharing my first usable build in the near future, if you have any ideas for this project please feel free to tell me
Map Update: -Fast forward, pause rewind ect all works now -Tidied everything up making it look nice + colors -Now shows driver information -Shows current race information Planned Features: -Complete ui access -Making it downloadable Sorry for the long wait, I’ve had school internals ect and most of my time coding has been minor error fixing and starting to implement a few of the features above, on holiday for the next week so the project should speed up.
UI Update: Added a new ui for the user to make it easier to select everything. Remove practice qauli and sprint sessions, they may return but they kept bringing up errors, added a loading screen, it doesn’t look great but… Tomorrow the app will be officially downloadable and hopefully after some small ui and error fixes in two days it should be fully finished
The beta build is now live. Please feel free to try out the program, test it, give feedback, the more I know the better this becomes. Close to 60 hours have been spent so far and so I hope this project brings as much joy to you all as it did to me, more updates coming soon and the final build should be released by the end of the week, have fun. installation: To install this program go to the releases page, and download the version for your operating system (as of now there is no Mac OS installer and no plans to implement one), extract the .zip file, open the read me and follow the instruction inside, if there are any issues at all please record them and respond. Have Fun
Day number, you know what I’ve lost track of the time. Hours go by so quickly yet it refuses to work, I refuse to give in the ai and let it fix it for me, what could I have done, did I displease the coding gods, how can I undo my, oh wait it works now. Seems I mistook a full stop for a comma. That definitely didn’t take me over 5 hours to fix, and of course the error messages point to a random line that has nothing to do with the problem. Today was mainly just cleaning up the ui, just unifying everything into a good looking color scheme, next I think will be a few new features.
Error time: For the past 9 Hours I’ve spent trying to make everything more efficient and I’ve been plagued with error after error, and as of this moment the errors are still erroring. The first error I got was the “texture not found”, which is unusual when I directly gave it the image texture, now obviously the fix to this error was that a completely unrelated button was labeled wrong so… Also some random thing about the way it downloaded the values from online meant specific races would spit out values that led to random websites, so basically it would try to download the f1 values from a bands website that had f1 in its name. Also the error below which I’m in the process of fixing.
Mānawatia a Matariki! 🌟, I am in a very good mood. For the past 9 hours I’ve worked on this project everything has just worked, within an hour the error that plagued me yesterday just dissapeared, do I know why? No. Do I care? Not at all. If it works it works. Today was more of a continuation of yesterday, making everything feel faster, better, fixing everything that didn’t work yesterday, I made the graphs scroll properly, I made the ui look even better, my plan is to lock in today and tomorrow and finish it by the end of tomorrow, might pull an all nighter
I jinxed myself. So earlier I might have got a bit cocky about my own error fixing ability, it all worked perfectly well on my Cachy os laptop, but on my windows pc it all breaks for absolutely no reason. What I’ve spent the past 9 hours doing is converting it to use a different library, while this is easier than it sounds it’s by no means a walk in the park, so far I’ve got the functions to run, but efficiency, ironically the thing I was bragging about before, it still a problem so it crashes after like 5 minutes due to the previously displayed data not being properly cached. My plan is to finish the entire project by the end of tomorrow, I’m so close and super exited to show the final product.
I’ve officially passed 100 hours on my project. Today is the final stretch, the final sprint to the finish line, I was able to get it all running normally on windows, my plan is to lock in the for the remaining time, hopefully my next post will be to tell you all of the projects completion, I found the problem from yesterday and was able to get the data to cache properly and now I’m literally just running the app over and over to find as many bugs and errors as possible, I’d rather get the errors myself then make the final user have them. Sorry if none of this makes sense or if it lacks any of my previous humor, I’m pretty tired and I know the second this project is over I will be sleeping as long as possible, but for now I’m just desperately trying to get the final project finished.
Sorry if it sounds like I’m in a rush but I was in the process of testing my code for bugs and I discovered a gasp bug. Basically for driver swaps in the middle of the year like Lawson and Red bull the code would download separate data for the team for two different instances, and since previously I would have it assume they were the same it would crash. This fix shouldn’t take long, just like 30 minutes of testing values, but I’ve confirmed everything else works, fixed some bugs surrounding the time library I use, and so I’m confident my next post will be one announcing the conclusion of this project. For dramatic effect my project will officially be released in Bum bum baa 2 Hours. (Sorry for the lack of a project image, you’ll just have to check it out for yourself ;)
Its officially done, Open Wall is finished. 120 hours have gone into the project and I’ve gone from a complete beginner in python to somewhat competent. I’ve lost a huge amount of sleep trying to get this working but now that’s it’s finished I feel so proud of the final design. A massive thanks to Star Dance for hosting this and giving me a reason to finally learn python, I’ve never given myself a good enough reason until now. My dream is to become a aero engineering and this project is a stepping stone in that journey, my next project will be alot more relaxed. Thanks to everyone that supported me along the way, and with that I need sleep so in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

This is Open Wall, my first every complete Python project, this app takes data from open f1 and displays it visual in a clean way so that any user can use it. The biggest struggle throughout this project what converting the data supplied by open f1 into functional number, this involves time conversion, coordinate setting and proper caching....

(This will also help y’all with the personal engagement piece when you rate this project.) I was away on Day 2, so I couldn’t really code. For Days 3 and 4, I focused on getting my HTML and CSS fundamentals down before I write another journal. AND BEFORE I TALK ABOUT WHAT I LEARNED, I want to talk about my experience. Back in middle school, I did a little bit of Python, and it’s been fun seeing how HTML and CSS use human-like words instead of looking like random bits and symbols. You want to change the background color? Just go into styles.css and change the color. That’s it. Easy. Sauce. While I’m still learning, I’ve already started brainstorming a few projects I want to make to test my knowledge: I’m thinking of creating a personal portfolio site. Just a simple “Hello, this is my first website, here’s my journey” type of thing. During my first project, when I worked with the Slack bot, I became really interested in APIs. From what I’ve seen, JavaScript works really well with them, so I think it would be fun to make something like a weather tracker or a top news dashboard. I want something that uses JavaScript to fetch information and bring it onto my screen. Calculator app (a lot of people make this lol). Tic-Tac-Toe. One of those classic beginner projects. Anyways, here’s the big dump for y’all to show the new terms and concepts I’ve learned over the past two days. HTML When you use <a href=\"link.com\"> , it is generally expected that the link opens in the same tab. However, this can be changed. Using target=\"_blank\" forces the webpage to open in a new tab. There’s also the concept of Relative URLs vs. Absolute URLs. A relative URL points to another file within your project, such as about.html . An absolute URL includes the full web address, such as https://example.com , which tells the browser to navigate to a website. <head> is for information and settings that the browser uses behind the scenes. Favicon = the little image that appears beside the website title. Title = the name of the webpage shown on the browser tab. <body> is the part of the webpage that users actually see. You can use mailto: in a link, and it will open the user’s default email application to send an email. I learned how to make a table: tr = table row td = table data (a table cell) (I learned the hard way that it’s usually easier to organize layouts using div containers.) Speaking of div , it’s basically a container for your code. Let’s say you’re making a dropdown menu—you can place all the related code inside a single div to keep everything organized. I also learned about lists: ul = unordered list ol = ordered list li = list item Description lists: dl = description list dt = description term dd = description definition Block elements stay on their own line and take up available width, while inline elements flow with the content around them. iframe is used to display another webpage inside your webpage, although some websites prevent themselves from being embedded. For symbols, one method is to use HTML entities. For example: ♥ = ♥ I also learned about HTML forms: There are two common methods for sending data: POST = sends data without showing it in the URL. GET = the default method if none is specified. It sends data through the URL, making it visible in browser history and the address bar. There’s stuff in the Comment section aswell ~ continued."}, {"post_id": 13564, "ts": "2026-06-22T06:30:06Z", "hours": 0.7789, "text": "It’s been going well so far.

Or using <pre> , which allows the text to behave in the same way as you write your code in. <strong> and <b> bold the text. <em> makes the text italic. <mark> highlights the text from within. <del> creates a strikethrough. <sub> adds a subscript. <sup> adds a superscript.

To refer to a link you can use: <a href="link">text</a> There are no closing tags when using <img> , <br> , or <hr> . Uhh yea, that’s the first day in and out :)
Dev Log# 2 Part - (1/2) Had to retype everything due to the 4,000 character limit 😭 LOL THIS ONE IS GONNA BE A BIG CHUNK. (This will also help y’all with the personal engagement piece when you rate this project.) I was away on Day 2, so I couldn’t really code. For Days 3 and 4, I focused on getting my HTML and CSS fundamentals down before I write another journal. AND BEFORE I TALK ABOUT WHAT I LEARNED, I want to talk about my experience. Back in middle school, I did a little bit of Python, and it’s been fun seeing how HTML and CSS use human-like words instead of looking like random bits and symbols. You want to change the background color? Just go into styles.css and change the color. That’s it. Easy. Sauce. While I’m still learning, I’ve already started brainstorming a few projects I want to make to test my knowledge: I’m thinking of creating a personal portfolio site. Just a simple “Hello, this is my first website, here’s my journey” type of thing. During my first project, when I worked with the Slack bot, I became really interested in APIs. From what I’ve seen, JavaScript works really well with them, so I think it would be fun to make something like a weather tracker or a top news dashboard. I want something that uses JavaScript to fetch information and bring it onto my screen. Calculator app (a lot of people make this lol). Tic-Tac-Toe. One of those classic beginner projects. Anyways, here’s the big dump for y’all to show the new terms and concepts I’ve learned over the past two days. HTML When you use <a href="link.com"> , it is generally expected that the link opens in the same tab. However, this can be changed. Using target="_blank" forces the webpage to open in a new tab. There’s also the concept of Relative URLs vs. Absolute URLs. A relative URL points to another file within your project, such as about.html . An absolute URL includes the full web address, such as https://example.com , which tells the browser to navigate to a website. <head> is for information and settings that the browser uses behind the scenes. Favicon = the little image that appears beside the website title. Title = the name of the webpage shown on the browser tab. <body> is the part of the webpage that users actually see. You can use mailto: in a link, and it will open the user’s default email application to send an email. I learned how to make a table: tr = table row td = table data (a table cell) (I learned the hard way that it’s usually easier to organize layouts using div containers.) Speaking of div , it’s basically a container for your code. Let’s say you’re making a dropdown menu—you can place all the related code inside a single div to keep everything organized. I also learned about lists: ul = unordered list ol = ordered list li = list item Description lists: dl = description list dt = description term dd = description definition Block elements stay on their own line and take up available width, while inline elements flow with the content around them. iframe is used to display another webpage inside your webpage, although some websites prevent themselves from being embedded. For symbols, one method is to use HTML entities. For example: ♥ = ♥ I also learned about HTML forms: There are two common methods for sending data: POST = sends data without showing it in the URL. GET = the default method if none is specified. It sends data through the URL, making it visible in browser history and the address bar. There’s stuff in the Comment section aswell ~ continued.
Voila! My first ever website is complete. https://dragonwarriorgame.netlify.app/ How to play: In Dragon Warrior, your goal is to defeat the dragon stopping people from leaving the town. You start with: XP: 0 Health: 100 Gold: 50 Weapon: Stick Use the three buttons on the screen to choose what to do. Begin in the Town Square, where you can visit the store, enter the cave, or fight the dragon. In the store, you can buy health and stronger weapons using gold. Weapons get stronger in this order: Stick, Dagger, Claw Hammer, Sword. In the cave, you can fight smaller monsters like slimes and fanged beasts to earn XP and gold. XP makes you stronger, and gold helps you buy health and weapons. During a fight, you can attack, dodge, or run. Sometimes your weapon can also break, so keep an eye on your inventory. To win, train in the cave, earn XP and gold, buy stronger weapons, restore your health, and defeat the dragon. This project was a big step in my coding journey. I had previously documented a lot of HTML and CSS while following videos, but this time I followed website-based instructions and focused more on JavaScript, functions, and basic game logic. Overall, I really enjoyed building my first project. Thank you to everyone who checks it out :)
Ships:
I started with nothing, from having no idea how to code to making my first game. Welcome to Dragon Warrior . In Dragon Warrior, your goal is to defeat the dragon that is stopping people from leaving the town. In a nutshell, you go to the cave, practice by fighting smaller mobs, earn gold, upgrade your weapons, buy more health, and then take on the big dragon. The more you upgrade, the easier the final fight becomes....

brick break and this (kinda) funny bug i found where you fall out of the world for having skill issue, arrgh its so close to being complete for a demo but the codebase is a mess
one final one before shipping, here are the stuff i did a main menu a lot of bug fixes clean up yeah thats it actually demo soon should be up somewhere
are these, the world’s the most crispy bricks? let’s find out anyways i’ve been working on adding sfx and music as you can see (or hear), i “borrowed” sfx from spriters resource and ripped the music from the rom also ignore the koopa troopa and the grow animation lol

sxdcfghjgf don’t do 5 hours in a single day kids, or you might end up adding another level theme
fixed koop troop, also made jumping a lot like the original plus a few stuff i don’t remember
mario now can travel through time and space across parallel universes using a new technology called quantum nano particle sub processing with enhanced qubits and computing physics
polish polish polish, i’m going to drown in polish , heck load of backend stuff that i don’t know how to explain but its related to how levels are loaded and managed. currently trying to make it more accurate to the original and a few more enemies and then i can start making new power ups and enemies
splashess!!!! and you won’t believe more polish!!! it is so close to another ship!!!!1

I’ve been building NOVA Break because I got tired of Pomodoro apps interrupting me with giant popups and screen locks right when I’m focused. Instead of forcing a break, NOVA Break creates a small Interstellar-inspired black hole after 20 minutes of work. It doesn’t block clicks, typing, or scrolling—you can completely ignore it. The twist is that if you keep ignoring it, the black hole slowly grows. The goal is to gently encourage breaks instead of demanding them.

Next I’m experimenting with text warping, subtle audio effects, and stronger gravitational distortion. My goal isn’t to make another productivity app—it’s to create a small sci-fi experience that reminds you to take a break without getting in your way.
Today I polished the NOVA Break popup UI and launched a live demo. While testing, I realized screenshots don’t really capture the effect. NOVA Break is all about how the black hole slowly appears and grows over time, so I wanted people to experience it instantly instead of just looking at images. Live Demo: https://prfhh.github.io/NovaBreakDemo For anyone new to the project: •It is an Browser extension for people who hate productivity apps. • Creates a cinematic 3D black hole after a period of work. • No popups, notifications, or screen locks. • Can be completely ignored. • Slowly grows if you keep working as a gentle reminder to take a break. • Runs directly in your browser tabs. No popups and No nagging. The live demo is a quick web sandbox built so anyone can test the 3D black hole mechanics instantly without installing the extension. The actual project is a full Chrome extension that runs the exact same script to inject the anomaly into your real browser tabs!
Before the blackhole is becoming worse it become double ring and the unusual rings form from the blackhole and when it is perfect like the 3rd image the machine lags i need to fix all the issues and the main issue is the script doesnt gets injected i need to fix this main issue
I fixed the issue where it doesnt injects back the script u need to refresh the page and after some close research i found out i need to fix the permissions in the config and now its fixed guys now maybe its an end to this project .
Ships:
I built Blackhole Break, a non-annoying screen break reminder that spawns a cool, 3D Interstellar-style black hole right on your web page instead of using ugly, screen-locking popups. The biggest challenge was stacking multiple asymmetrical CSS layers at a -8 degrees 3D perspective warp to make the plasma belt look like it’s realistically bending around a pitch-black void without lagging the browser. I’m most proud of the balance: it completely respects your workflow using pointer-events: none so you can type right through it, yet it visually nudges you to rest by physically expanding over time if you keep grinding. Reviewers can test it instantly via the live GitHub Pages demo by adjusting the lo-fi terminal sliders and clicking “Force Event Horizon” to watch the anomaly form on the workspace preview. Yeah it still need some ui improvements i am into it ....

i was able to change the looping from showing password is too short 3 times to letting you try 3 times
I was able to recorrect some small mispells and some code accidently written twice so now its functions as it should.
Ships:
I made my first password checker, it was a bit difficult using code for the first time but it was really fun to write it and learn how to get better writing and making things...

Title: vortex shader by @Alan | Stardance
Devlogs Title: vortex shader by @Alan | Stardance
Devlogs:
My fellow stardancers. I humbly present my small grain of sand to an endless beach of shaders. Its basically just a vortex that just goes endlessly into the nothingness. Not really that cool, but its for my other project, The Void, so I thought I could share the shader as it’s own project.
Ships:
I made a simple, html based shader that is a swirling vortex, which will be used in the future for The Void project. The difficulty itself didn’t really come from writing the shader, but more so by the fact of having to choose the proper values of the constants until it looked like how I imagined it. Even the colors themselves were originally more vibrant and there was even orange sprinkled in there, which honestly idk where it went. But, in the end it was an overall easy project to do. I’m not really the best at writing in glsl, and a lot of things could probably be changed, but nonetheless it was done....

It is a Mars rover, made to be small and basically a mini version of a rover. Why is it mini? This is because regular-sized rovers are about 10 feet long; this rover is about 3 feet. Big rovers cost lots of money, effort, and time because they are huge and cannot be mass-produced, not to mention the amount of effort required to make sure this 10-foot gargantuan lands properly. What Does It Contain? Rocker-Bogie System & Wheels Let’s start with the structure that holds up the rover and helps it roll through the Martian environment. This structure is called a Rocker-Bogie system . It consists of 2 parts of the wheel framework that attach to each other and rotate. The two parts allow the whole vehicle to be stable, which is extremely important on Mars. This rotation allows the rover to go over several bumps or tiny high hills without crashing. Next are the wheels: heavy-duty wheels scaled to fit the robot. They rotate and feature grooves for better grip, made with plastic and metal. Cameras, Antennas & Power If you turn my robot around, on the back it has cameras that allow the vehicle to see behind it. On top of the body, at the very top, there is a Pancam Mast Assembly (PMA) —a tall elevated mast used on my rover to hold panoramic and navigation cameras (similar to the Spirit and Opportunity rovers). The top also contains a solar panel so these mini ’lil bots can harvest solar energy to work. I decided against using radioactive plutonium as a power/heat source because it would be expensive and difficult to use. Next, it has a Low Gain Antenna that looks like a stick. It serves as a backup or failsafe to receive direct-from-Earth commands without needing to precisely point, unlike the High Gain Antenna (which looks like a broken pickleball paddle) that concentrates its signal in a focused beam. Internal Mechanisms & Robotic Arms Inside the front of the rover’s body, there is a pair of hinged doors that open and close to protect the interior. Behind those doors are two rods and two mechanical arms: Claw Arm: Made of 3 parts (2 long metal strips connected together and a claw that can adjust its grip size). Drill Arm: Equipped with a drill bit used to break martian materials for sample storage. Each arm stands on a rod, allowing them to change direction vertically and making the process of extracting materials very easy. Additionally, two solar panels attach to a cylindrical piston that expands and retracts to push the panels out or pull them inside safely at night. Mars Ascent Vehicles (MAV) Finally, stored at the back are 4 Mars Ascent Vehicles (MAV) . The robot stores collected samples inside these rockets, allowing them to eject and safely travel back to Earth for further experimentation.

Attempted to get the micro:bits channel hopping, however the confirmation is either not getting sent or received (maybe both), but I’m not getting any errors.
I was having difficulty getting the ‘ready’ message to either broadcast or get received, maybe both, I’m not sure. I commented out those parts to test if the radio was working, and it did. It will also pick up the ready signal even if reset.
The micro:bits finally channel hop, only once, however debugging took longer than I expected.
Got stuck when I tried to make it continuously channel hop and send a scrambled channel number, so I made the How to use section in the README along with a flowchart.
Finally got the infinite channel jumping working along with scrambling the channel number for greater security during transmission. Also added security features explanation to the README. And made a logo.

UPDATE #1 so this is the start of my game “BitDrop” it’s a pachinko roguelike that takes inspiration from games like balatro,slay the spire, ultrapool. How it works Your ball starts with a starting score of something i havent figured out the value of yet and gains score to and cashes out at the bottom. The 5 things on the right are jokers from balatro but like 100% original totally not jokers and are called daemons.

The baskets will prolly be the same throughout and the daemons will assist with scoring higher What i have so far graphics balls drop have have physics balls bounce off pegs everything else not listed is placeholder graphics but yeaaaaa thats about it and the idea for the gameeeeee thank youuuuuu
UPDATE #2 Overview added a class system for my daemons to try to be able to implement a large amount of them including daemon level, color, effects, etc. Made the balls bounce on pegs with animation and hover animation on daemons. also added the balls have a value shown and when scored the scored data is moved upwards a bit until it disappears Next steps the next steps i hope to achieve before the next devlog is that i hope to have a partly functional daemon system that works with the game or atleast be able to reorder and sell them before next update. AI USE had ai generate the daemons vector graphic
UPDATE #3 The Daemon Backend Overview just worked on backend this update and minor graphical changes. I made it so you can click on the daemons and move them up and down aswell as sell them. Fine Details i also changed the level of the daemon indicator location, added the graphic for overclocking (buff past max level planned in future basically), and made it easier to make daemons. Next steps i wanna add a sell value to the daemons to add to credit balance and make the credit balance actually exist. animations and making the daemons do stuff is next step then get back to pachinko
UPDATE #4 The Daemon Frontend Overview I made Daemons almost fully functional and made them affect the gamestate. I also added a visual so you know which ball is being effected by which daemon. Fine Details i accidentally used ^ instead of std::pow for one of my functions so it took a while to debug i added text wrapping to Daemon descriptions so that long descriptions dont overflow added a sell value to daemons and linked it to the credits display lines between daemons and balls fade out made is so that the line picks a random starting point on the left side of the daemon Next steps I’m thinking of making a hands system where you choose how many balls you drop at the start and then you have to wait till they all score before you can drop more balls. I want to add a graphic for empty daemon slots and add a shop system which pops up after you pass the score threshold and all balls finish scoring.
UPDATE #5 The Shop part 1 Summary I started work on a shop system and have item purchases up now. I added a few new daemons and squashed a few new bugs. Fine Details New Daemon “Loyalty Points” 2x points every 5 pins hit New Daemon “Mesh Network” 1.5x score for every ball in play somehow made it so that the description variables werent being assigned in the class and took an hour to hunt that one down added a shop screen with the ability to buy a daemon extracted button logic from multiple places to a function to draw the button instead increased max score from -9.22 × 10^18 to 1.7 x 10^308 bytes made scores that are extremely large get formmated to scientific notation Next steps Still considering that hands system for later maybe in 3 devlogs I want to add a graphic for empty daemon slots and have you a bought item graphic so you cant buy it again in the same shop. reroll and next round button in shop.
UPDATE #6 The Black Market part 2 Summary I started finishing the shop system i started last devlog. I added rerolls to the shop aswell as a next round button. I also added 2 new Daemons. Finer Details New Daemon “Schrodinger’s Basket” 50% chance of 2.5x points 50% chance of .5x points New Daemon “Dark Web Node” 5% chance for 15x points on scoring made it so when you buy a daemon it gets sold out instead of infinite stock daemons you have dont show up in shop next button currently goes back to normal game but i want it to go to a levels screen/map like slay the spire made credits balance have a thousands seperator of “ “ instead of nothing and no comma cuz a spacebar looks cooler Next steps I want to add a graphic for empty daemon slots and add consumables of some sort and the upgrading daemon system along with the slay the spire level map. shop could use more polish with hovers and icons.
UPDATE #7 The Map Summary I made it so rerolls cost money, empty daemon slots have a graphic now and started the start of a level map/selector. Finer Details made a hacking style map based on slay the spire’s level selector map currently randomly generates nodes and connections map scrolls using left or right click along with scroll wheel nodes also have random descriptions as ive yet to come up with names for enemies and bosses i thought NETWATCH from cyberpunk 2077 would be cool if you can’t afford a reroll the button gets darker to signal Next steps you can’t sell daemons in the map for some reason finish map to link to game consumables shop polish with hovers sfx near the end more animations
UPDATE #8 The Map PT 2 Summary Polished the map more and added it into the gameplay loop so that it sets the quota and adds money still no animations for these Finer Details levels give money now levels have a random amount of money that increase as you go levels interact with setting rewards and score requirements quota and reward are displayed on hover corner brackets appear with easing in and out size on hover aswell changed based unit to MB from KB cuz KB of data are kinda smol fixed some frame update bugs where the stuff updates after selection making it look weird for a frame faint orange glow on the column of levels you are on Next steps you can’t sell daemons in the map for some reason map polish level node entry point map path generation sometimes generates a void where you cant progress and also every node connects to every other consumables shop polish with hovers sfx near the end more animations
UPDATE #9 Map PT 3 Summary Added menu transitions, fixeds a few bugs Finer Details changes orange glow on current column to green made the nodes offset on the y and x axis a bit so it looks less grid-like added a glitch menu transition fixed bug where you couldnt interact with daemons in the map menu fixed map generation that generates stray nodes fixed map generate that generated incomplete paths level name it now displayed on box on hover light path that shows a path you can take to get to the node if you hover a future node from current node nodes no longer mostly connect to every single other node Next steps consumables shop polish with hovers sfx near the end more animations
UPDATE #10 Graphics Summary Added money adding animation, 4 new daemons, and a reroll animation Finer Details rerolls have a glitch animation money scoring summons energy balls that glitch into balance 1 for each remaining ball and 1 for the money winning the level fixed bug where you could have over 5 daemons new daemon “Honeypot Trap” 30% chance to duplicate score new daemon “Firmware Backdoor” +5MB per node hit new daemon “Proxy Chain” multiplier per daemon owned (1.2x,1.4x,1.6x) new daemon “Rootkit Persistence” every 3rd ball scores 3x Next steps balancing consumables shop polish with hovers sfx near the end more animations
UPDATE #11 Graphics Summary Added moving daemon animation and added encrypted nodes into the map that are a mystery of what it is until you click on them Next steps balancing consumables shop polish with hovers sfx near the end more animations
UPDATE #12 Audio Summary Added sound effects and shop polish breakdown transition sound (my favorite) bounce sound (need a better one) hover glitched node sound hover daemon sound hover shop item sound hover shop items for more interactivity Next steps balancing consumables more sfx more animations
UPDATE #13 Consumables Summary Added consumables slots graphics and the use/sell buttons that do nothing so far mainly ripped from the daemon code along with basic backend structure for consumables. also fixed a bug where hovering sfx never stopped playing on glitched nodes Next steps balancing consumables actions more sfx more animations
UPDATE #14 Consumables 2 Summary Added two consumables, changed price of rerolls and did some code restructuring. breakdown added a consumable “flash sale” is basically temperance from balatro and gives sell value of all your daemons into your balance added a consumable “dycrypt” and it decrypts unknown nodes so you know what they are moved the payout ball orb stuff to a different file moved the transitions stuff to a different file you can now sell consumables and it adds to the balance aswell two types of consumable one is instant use and one requires selecting something to effect i will use this later on nodes Next steps balancing more consumables more sfx more animations
UPDATE #15 Consumables Shop Summary Added consumables to the shop and reduced consumables slots breakdown you can buy and reroll consumables in shop reroll animation rerolls consumables too the consumables are a different shape then daemons in shop i gotta figure out the colors to be more different tho two consumable slots instead of four Next steps i came up with alot more ideas to implement balancing endless mode skill tree overclock shards and daemon leveling daemon synergies more consumables more sfx more animations
UPDATE #16 Map Graphics Update Summary updated the nodes in the map to look better and custom icons along with making the pathways more distinct from the background breakdown swirling things around node passively gliched nodes have funky movement with their animation which i find cool made pathways more distinct from background lines color nodes now have icons instead of text Next steps I currently plan to dedicate the next few updates to improving graphics before i continue with the gameplay changes i have listed below balancing endless mode skill tree overclock shards and daemon leveling daemon synergies more consumables more sfx more animations
UPDATE #17 Shop Graphics Update pt 1 Summary updated shop graphics and animation breakdown used ai to generate a shop item slot and polished it in microsoft paint you can hover buttons and the main part and plays sfx buttons now have 6 vertexes daemons only get bought on left click release instead of on click since the shop items use sprites now instead of vector drawing i now hue shift the sprite to acheive different colors from one sprite (this took a while) reduced shop to have 4 items instead of 5 for balance and to fit the graphics nicer Next update plan update the consumables section of the shop to look better add buy animations
UPDATE #18 Shop Graphics Update pt 2 Summary updated shop graphics for consumables and made a custom class to make custom shaped polygons breakdown made consumables look better made consumables have a full consumables slot graphic and a not enough money alert made consumables have a background thingy in the shop that looks cool same hue shift graphic trick applied to the consumables like the daemons made insufficient funds for the daemons larger and more clear made a custom class for making polygons with an arbitrary number of vertexs so its faster to make polygons instead of the original way i used which was draw triangle fan made it so the class also detects hovers and clicks built in to make it easier Next update plan im hoping this next update can be completed in like 5 hrs or less to keep the pace of more frequent devlogs add buy animations add sell animations screen shake helper function
UPDATE #19 more animations Summary added buy and sell animations along with fixing a few bugs it was alot faster than initially planned cuz it was just re-purposing existing code breakdown added buy animation for deamons and consumables added sell animations for daemons and consumablse fixed bug where shop didnt refresh when you re-enter after beating a level fixed bug where boss levels had a smaller quota than normal levels screenshake helper function implemented so i can just put screenshake(intensity,duration); anywhere and add screenshake with one line added a glitch location helper function based off my glitch transition code so now you can do TriggerGlitchAt(bounding-box-using-raylib-rectangle, duration); to glitch effect a location for a duration Next update plan maybe 6 hours for this update add more sound effects expand consumables system maybe make daemons look better but that might be for the update after this one
UPDATE #20 more animations Summary got sidetracked from original plan and made daemons look better along with making the map have velocity that keeps momentum after you stop scrolling breakdown made daemons look better using a dual layer system map has velocity that decreasese in speed after you stop scrolling with mouse click or scroll wheel dual layer daemon graphics I think this is kinda cool so basically i have the empty daemon slot image and when a daemon slot is empty it just keeps that sprite up and adds text ontop of that that says empty daemon slot (number). But when you get a daemon it uses the same hueshift function i have from the shop daemons and consumables and hueshifts an overlay with a transparent interior to add color and stuff. Empty daemon slot: empty daemon sprite layered text saying slot number and that it’s empty Occupied daemon slot: empty daemon sprite occupied daemon overlay with hue shift title and description text overlay + level overlay then put hover effects and stuff ontop Next update plan add more sound effects expand consumables system
UPDATE #21 consumable board editor Summary added new consumables that modified pins on the board to do different things breakdown added system where you can select nodes now added system where you can select multiple things to modify with a consumable added pin effect “mitosis” splits node into two added pin effect “overclock pin” makes pin valued at 1.5mb instead of 1mb prolly changing this this was just testing added pin effect “volitile pin” makes pin add a random payload from 1-10mb also was just testing prolly will modify this Next update plan add more sound effects make it so mitosis is called miosis and splits the value of the ball into half between the two balls make it so you can modify a pin with multiple modifiers and hovering shows what mods it has make pin modifiers like minecraft enchantments where you can apply some modifiers not with each other like mending + infinity isnt possible in minecraft or fortune + silk touch type thing
UPDATE #22 consumable board editor TWOOOO Summary made is so you can stack mods on pins and some are incompatible with others breakdown you can stack mods of different types on pins some mods are incompatible with each other if you modify a pin with an incompatible modifier it will just remove the conflicting modifier from the pin red alert text on consumables with conflicting modifiers hover shows the pins modifiers Next update plan you can stack modifiers on the same pin to level it up more pin modifier types make pins on modifiers visually distinct that can be stacked ontop of each other
UPDATE #23 Escape Menu Summary modularized code for pin mods, added levels and max levels, started work on an escape menu for settings. breakdown hover on nodes now shows level of the modifier on the node nodes like clone level 1 have it so the payout is split between the two balls and level 2 has it so that it isnt split between the two added menu button next to balance display modularized code for pin modifiers so its easier to add conflicts and such in the future and new features esc puts you in an esc menu to quit run new run settings optinos etc the same as the menu button esc menu stops time and physics aswell as all interaction in game until you unpause fixed issue where reroll text would overflow outside of the reroll box so now it resizes to fit inside of the reroll button node modifiers were also split into a different file Next update plan I got sidequested again for the escape menu so ill be working on that in tandem with the modifiers code and stuff make pins on modifiers visually distinct that can be stacked ontop of each other more work on esc menu
UPDATE #24 Escape Menu two Summary pin mods now show what level they are aswell as all the other mods on the pin in the form of colors and dots and hovering shows it more detailed also escape menu has buttons now. breakdown escape menu now has buttons and a different color back button when opening esc menu theres a glitch effect now along with a sound effect and closing does same thing putting a mod on the pin outlines the pin with the color of the mod and a dot for every level of the mod putting multiple mods on a pin divides the outline into multiple parts Next update plan add stats menu add settings menu add main menu maybe add consumables for baskets aswell but prolly the update after this one
UPDATE #25 Escape Menu three Summary added settings and stats page to the esc menu thing breakdown made it so that you can add more stats and settings with just one line of code to control or display a variable added a gamespeed notched slider added volume slider added screenshake toggle added a bunch of stats in the stats page moved back button to the bottom of the menu since we are nearing the phase where i ship this project i already have set a roadmap of things i need to do so i figure i could just share it here: add main menu maybe add consumables for baskets still not decided add tutorial endless mode daemon synergies polish and balance by adding more stuff and things in general to daemons,consumables,stats,settings,pin mods music
UPDATE #26 Main Menu Summary made a main menu breakdown took the grid background from the map and put it in the main menu took the tri-circle spinning animation from the map and put it in the main menu reused the button class i use everywhere settings button just goes to the settings menu i already made stats button just goes to the stats menu but i think ill change it to a tutorial button terminate button just gives a popup that says “its a web game silly” Roadmap in order of completion add tutorial endless mode daemon synergies maybe add consumables for baskets still not decided polish and balance by adding more stuff and things in general to daemons,consumables,stats,settings,pin mods music
UPDATE #27 Tutorial Summary made a hint based tutorial system every time you encounter a new mechanic breakdown made it so that in 1-2ish lines of code you can add a new hint to any aspect of the game hints pop up only on the first time you encounter a mechanic hints darken the background and go away with a glitch effect and sound effect after clicking “got it” button Roadmap in order of completion fix some of the bugs i have noted down in a personal doc that are hard to explain endless mode daemon synergies maybe add consumables for baskets still not decided polish and balance by adding more stuff and things in general to daemons,consumables,stats,settings,pin mods music
UPDATE #28 Endless Mode Summary added a win screen for when you win with a button to go endless mode called “ascensions” breakdown made endless mode made win screen (prolly should make it look better) fixed bug where you clicking back in a submenu in escmenu would double click and exit out of esc menu entirely fixed bug where you couldnt exit stats menu in escmenu from main menu Roadmap in order of completion add consumables for baskets to multiply basket mult re-org code before polish and balance cuz its kinda goofy spaghetti silly polish and balance by adding more stuff and things in general to daemons,consumables,stats,settings,pin mods add more screenshakes cuz i only have a few screenshakes music
UPDATE #29 Polish Polish Polish Summary added a few consumables and added basket mods breakdown added a consumable to multiply a basket’s mult by 1.5x permanently added a consumable to lower quota on a level by 25% added a pin modifier that makes balls gravitate towards it made it so that consumables in shop can have weights Things to polish before shipping daemons consumables pin mods screenshake more tutorial steps music / sfx balancing
UPDATE #30 A little bit of everything Summary added a loss screen, another pin modifier, changed clone pin graphic, added music, changed map nodes, added overload mechanic breakdown added a loss screen with a loss sound effect added another pin mod called “Amplify” which just gives 1.5x score on hit to the ball changed clone pin graphic to show the pull distance and changes with leveling added main menu music and gameplay music changed map nodes by renaming them and changing colors around made final boss node bigger than it was originally for emphasis added overload mechanic that basically is a multiplier that increases by .08x per pin hit and decreases by .4x per second and adds the multiplier on scoring Things to polish before shipping daemons consumables balancing sfx
UPDATE #31 Balancing Summary ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER RAHHHHH. I added like 10 new daemons changed icons and balanced the prices along with sending my project into the hackclub slack for playtesting. breakdown added 10 new daemons changed icons of every daemon since they shared the same icon balanced prices of consumables and daemons used playtester feedback: some things were confusing so i added more hints used playtester feedback: a button in the shop was unintuative so i made it so that it worked more intuiatively used playtester feedback: playtester found a bug with one of the new daemons that destroyed itself didnt free up a slot NEXT UPDATE IS JUST SOUND EFFECTS AND MAYBE FEEDBACK FROM SLACK THEN I SHIP YAY IM GETTING THIS DONE BEFORE I SLEEP
UPDATE #32 FIREFOX SUCKS Summary FIREFOX SUCKS. anyways i added a buncha sfx and ct5 found a bug where the game done goofy mode on firefox so i had to fix that breakdown map hover sfx shop buy sfx cashout sfx basket score sfx node pin sfx louder on playtester request used playtester feedback: this game on firefox compiled weird goofy its up on itchio now wowie #SHIP TIME YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY

PLEASE READ THE HINTS SO YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY I made a pachinko roguelite game that is inspired by balatro, slay the spire, and ultrapool. The game is a web game that is hosted on itch.io so no need to download anything. Have fun!...

I recently started making a personal website just for fun and decided - why not use it for Stardance. I added the basics, like multiple pages (but with one html text file using JavaScript) and am now working on adding random generators as well as various other quirky items. The website is called Wild Ideas because that’s what it is. I did require a bit of help from a friend to make the website have a gradient as well as having the colours but it worked out.

I have minimal experience with JavaScript, and since this project is extremely JavaScript heavy (9 JavaScript files with an average of like 150 lines each (max 869 min 25)), it was pretty challenging for me. I’m really proud of how I build most of the application by myself with minimal or no AI assistance. Note that this project is relatively niche and other programs that do the same thing but better already exist....

I made a working parallax background I just found some random background for now but I will change it later and make it more interactive to whatever is happening on the screen
I created a semi-working menu Right now, start and quit work and are featured in the attached videos. I still have to start options but that will probably be after the core gameplay Big thanks 🙏 to Gabl on this paltform and itch for my backgrounds, i will change them eventually.
Learned lots of new stuff I’m following a course right now and I finished a big part of it, so i thought I would make a devlog so the time after this would be counted seperately. random screenshot of my code👇 idk
Learned even more stuff Basically the same as the last devlog- i followed the tutorial a bit more, so I think I can start building core mechanics now another random screenshot of my code👇
🌟 Learning milestone #3! ⭐ This time, I learned a lot about player movement. This will be useful to the pointers that are going to be inside the shape that you are cutting. This took a while because there was a lot to learn about like movements but also themes and how to make a character texture look nice using shading, themes, etc. Also, probably the most interesting, I learned to use GPUParticles2D (i’m building in Godot) to make fire! 🔥 I’m probably not going to directly use fire in my project but I plan on giving the mouse a trail, and I suspect that I can keep a GPUParticles2D node attached to the mouse’s position to keep particles following it. Look at the video for a demonstration:
Learning milestone #4 Learend how to make a pause screen, it’s clear how I will use this in my game
Learing complete 🎓 I don’t know everything I need yet but I think I can manage
first look at core gameplay there was lots of stuff to figure out and lots of debugging but I finally made my first step by drawing lines from where the mouse enters and exits the shape next step is to cut the shape by the line and then calculate area
Devlog #9📝 Prepare 🟩 Learn godot Create basic line addition 🟩 Static line on mouse enter/exit Filter valid lines 🟩 only cross two sides 🟩 mouse clicking (cut mode on) 🟩 mouse velocity high enough 🟥 Stops counting after 0.2 seconds Shape as polygon 🟥 Rename rect / _get_rect_local() -> polygon equivalents (correct calc) 🟥 Rename rect_edges / _get_rect_edges() -> polygon edge list (correct calc) 🟥 Store shape as a point list 🟥 Render shape from that point list (Polygon2D) 🟥 Match collider to the same points (CollisionPolygon2D) 🟥 _is_inside` uses Geometry2D.is_point_in_polygon 🟥 Enter/exit hits use polygon edges (not just 4 rect sides) Perform a real cut 🟥 On valid swipe, get enter + exit points on the polygon 🟥 Split the point list into two polygons along that cut 🟥 Replace the old shape with the two new shapes (visual + collider) 🟥 Remove / ignore the cut line after the split (or keep as VFX only) Cut pieces move 🟥 Put each piece on its own body (RigidBody2D or AnimatableBody2D / manual motion) 🟥 On split, give each piece a velocity away from the cut (impulse / linear_velocity) 🟥 Optional: add gravity / spin so pieces fall and rotate 🟥 Optional: despawn pieces after a short time or off-screen Stop here (matches “until pieces move”) 🛑 🟥 One shape -> swipe -> two pieces fly apart (i used ai to make this devlog but it just turned my attachment into markdown, that’s all)
Rectangle -> polygon I experimented with ways to apply a polygon because I don’t want my game to have squares/rectangles the entire time
FINALLY FREE I spent SO MUCH TIME fixing this one bug with colors just to realize that it was because my collisionbox2d’s visibility was on. this pissed me off so much and took so much work to realize it wasn’t a code issue anyway i finally got to the cutting, worked on some nice themes, please smash that like button and don’t forget to subscribe thanks look at my video as well, the whole cutting thing took a lot of math and effort and i think i came up with a pretty cool name that i will probably stick with
Animations next is themes and outlines, and I will probably remove the modulate tween
I added the pointers this took a lot of work for some reason there are still some bugs though and features to add the features include the losing system (making sure that if pointers are seperated, the game ends with a loss) the bugs include the cutting because sometimes it will cut the part that the pointers are included in, like if they are in the smaller polygon of the cut (which is the one that gets deleted) I need to edit the code that chooses which polygon is eliminated so the ones with the pointer never get eliminated
It’s not worth adding a video but I added a togglable debug mode with cmd4 to make things easier for me picture of chainsaw man because i want to implement him in my game somehwo
added index.html on git
Made a plan Eventually I want the game to work on steam so it has to have solid replayability, so I started working using gemini and google docs on a gameplan and content guide
Refactored my code and got rid of everything unnecessary next I will probably change my title screen
First game ship ready I think
Ships:
PLEASE HELP ME WIN AN XBOX! A game inspired by griffpatch’s scratch game: 15% In 15% you have to enter cutting mode, by pressing “e” or your mouse and then cut the shape to an area of less than 15%. But be careful because if you fail and accidentally seperate the pointers, you lose! (all instructions can be found in the game) Get to as high a level as you can, and the levels keep getting harder! Good luck and have fun!...

Devlog 2 I have already done all the code. Now I’m gonna write some test scripts to test.
Devlog 3 I made a PNG file that has some hidden data appended to the end. This is the report my project generated after analyzing the file. It marked the file as suspicious and gave some suggestions for human to dive in. It could also analize other files, I will make video of all the files later.
Devlog 4 Added regex-based scanning for common flag formats. It also support custom flag format.
Devlog 5 Added the readme and finish the package for v0.1.0. This is a very early release so it might not work very well :(
Uploaded my code to pypi. Now users can use it on every OS.

What is the vision for Aura OS? I’m not just building a static dashboard; I’m engineering a deterministic, highly fault-tolerant interface. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be building out: A Local Heuristic AI: An offline cognitive engine that can execute commands and parse logic without relying on high-latency external API calls. A Stateful Virtual File System (VFS): True persistent storage right in the browser, allowing for complex file management. A Custom Window Manager: A full desktop environment featuring glass morphic layering, edge-boundary protection, and dynamic Z-indexing. Hardware-Accelerated Telemetry: Canvas-driven radar sweeps and physics-based navigation loops running on optimized rendering cycles. The engine room is just getting warmed up, and the codebase is officially locked and loaded. Follow along as I build the future of autonomous spaceflight!
This is the preview of Aura Operating System. This is the Operating System that I thinks those peoples who love sci-fi movies or sci-fi comics can try.
Ships:
I created my first WebOS. It is great for those who loves sci-fi. The most challenging part of this is to design the UI, create it’s own small AI and adding the user side notepad. So, there should be no need of internet if you should download it in your laptop....

I made a bot to emulate the cowsay library in Python! The logic was not that tough, but making it modular was difficult because of the different imports. I’m really proud of it because this is my first ever project, and my first Github repo. If you want to test it, please read the README.md file on Github. It’s available in the project details....

Fixing bugs: bugs:Ship spawns rotated to the rightShip RCS is affected by acceleration and general movement of the shipShip RCS isnt alighned properly to the direction i press( pressing L makes it fire the one that should move it left, J makes it fire upward, i makes it fire left and k makes it fire down)Death cause overlay doesnt go away after respawnduring and after collision and until respawn fully loads, the ship doesnt disappear into particles but instead stays there.throttle particles are barely visibleRCS plumes are too visiblein docking mode, the sattelite doesnt interact with anything and just sits in the backgroundin docking mode, the ship doesnt dockin docking mode, in earlier renditions, even if the ship did dock, It would just snap to the sattelite and then reset and thus docking mode was repetitive and boring. docking mode doesnt have 50 levels as requiredthe cave on the left is a hard cutoff from the regular terrain, doesnt bend a lot left and right to make it really hard, and is hard because i cant lower into it without it saying i crashed
Fixed minor bugs, got rid of docking mode, might get rid of cave system (FINAL FINISHES!!)
Added the final touches! -> Uploaded it to itch.io -> got rid of the caving system -> TRIED TO add phone support Time to SHIPPP
Logged extra hours i didnt know u could link more hackatime projects to one stardance project
