I’ve started a refactorization for a game that I made like a year ago. It’s named “HandWare” and its a wario ware type game where you only use your mouse to move two separated hands
The refactoring is going well. I’ve started by merging the player scripts into one (previously there was one script per minigame) and adapting the minigames. I had considered remaking the game from scratch, but in the end, I decided to fix what I have.
I’ve already refactored most of the minigames, then I’ll have to optimize a lot of code and fix a lot of things. 😭
I’ve fixed most of the errors and removed some borken features. So now the game is at least playable x)
I’ve implemented steam integration (only in desktop build)
Ships:
I’ve made a WarioWare-type game where you control two characters, each with a mouse click. This is actually a refactored version of the game, as I released it in November 2025.
I made wario ware like game, with 18 minigames, a lot of hand made assets and steam integration...

I just finished the Home Page, it has cool animations and fonts to really grab the person’s attention and get them more interested in using PULSE and paying to use it. As you scroll many animations will happen and I am now coding the buttons to look at more info.
The Ask Pulse AI assistant was improved with better context, smarter fallback responses, and a request timeout to make it more reliable. The system prompt and API were updated for better flexibility, UI components were enhanced with improved interactivity, data fields were made consistent, and the deliverable was updated with the latest changes.
The Pulse demo data was moved to a centralized persisted store so changes are saved across navigation, page refreshes, and browser restarts. A reset option was also added in Settings to restore the original sample workspace.
Reworked the app shell and related screens to match the latest Pulse UI pass, added the calls surface, refreshed shared styling and auth presentation, and updated mock data, state, and assets to support the new layout. Included the current deliverables and dependency updates tied to the build changes.
I finished cleaning up the UI for the dashboard itself as most buttons and containers were unsatisfactory, I am going to work on getting the API keys next
I added the rest of the buttons and made sure a quick prototype is in work it looks good to me as of now more updates will happen
I couldn’t get all the API keys for the integrations so for now I am going to ship this and add things for a later ship
I added some animations and to the bottom right corner of the website there is an AI chatbot and since I gave it a proper API key it can do much more making a managers life much easier
Ships:
I did it for part of my startup this is the basic stuff I used a very basic AI looking UI but that is because I wanted base product out first but most core concepts I did.
I made a website to help people like my dad who is a manager manage his team without multiple tools....

I made a web OS that’s clocked themed with a real time clock in army time, 2 simple draggable windows and a simple calculator. I think i did well considering it was my first coding project and next time I’ll probably add more features like light/dark mode and a spotify player...

working on a webos for the webos1 challenge, i have currently added a music app in which you can store my local directory, then you have a lil browser in which it just shows you predefined results, a paint app in which u can actually draw and save your artpieces as jpeg files, a little terminal with simple linux type commands and obviously neofetch, also added a lil notes app cuz well we love notes app. This screenshot may have a little easter egg for whats coming up next in WebOS challenge 2
Added something i learned in my computer science class in the paint app too, it only made sense to add it in my os too. I learned about floodfill and how its used to fill in colors in closed polygons by checking each pixel around it if its of any color other than background
Going with the technical field, remaking the linux type commands in this, added a proper file system, cat, touch, cp, move and a LOT more file commands. Tried to fix the music player glitch that my music wasnt playing, in the end im still not able to fix that so ill keep onto that, but with respect to the technical approach im quiet satified by the terminal rn, just wait till i reach the 2nd tier in this challenge
Fixed the music app finally, the beep boop music is playing, that was such a headache, made some minor bug changes aswell, updated the readme to ship the project, and im quiet satisfied with what has been made even tho Webdev isnt my forte.
Made the OS Since stardance was ending i was like lets js finish this and ship it This devlog i added pyrite, its own python like programming lanuage You can make simple programs in this run them in the terminal inside it Fixed the file manager, now you can use linux commands to make files from terminal and theyll actually show up in the file manager so thats pretty cool I think ill call it wraps now

Currently, expanding the lexer of zod. I am planning to make zod have mixed syntax between C, Go, and Rust.
Finally, I built the repl foundation, but the AST, parser, and eval are still left. Wish me luck….
DevLog #3 –– Today I made significant progress on Zod’s parser. The parser can now handle: Let statements , Assignment statements , Return statements , Infix expressions , Prefix expressions , and Boolean literals . There’s still plenty of work to do, but the parser is taking shape and the language is starting to feel real. My goal with Zod remains the same: to create a programming language that puts learning first while still being capable of building interesting and practical projects.
DevLog #4 — I have added FunctionLiteral , CallExpressions , and IfExpressions . Also, updated the REPL with the parser. Now, I will start working on the Evaluation.
DevLog #5 — Zod is finally functional. After I have built the evaluator and added it to the REPL, Zod became a fully function language, Its not a full language, but its still functional. I still have to add more datatypes and built-in functions since it only has integers and boolean , and no built-in function . Zod is becoming a programming language day after day and I think the of its becoming a programming language is near.
DevLog #6 — Zod finally has built-in functions, not many, but still good. Zod has len() , println() , printf() , input() , int() , string() , and type() . Also I have added string datatype, for-loop , and a loop {} statement like in Rust. Zod is becoming better day after day and I hope it become a great small language.
DevLog #7 — I have added hash map in Zod. Also added hash built-in functions like insert() , remove() , contains() , keys() , vals() . NOTE: The hash map is randomized due to Go maps logic.
DevLog#8 — Zod is finally here. I finished building the interpreter phase (Yeah, Zod will be a compiled language soon). I added MATRIX_OBJ and that opens ways to build cool things with the language like this demo of Conway’s game of life built in Zod. Cooool!!!!!!! right.
DevLog#9 — Currently, Implementing the bytecode compiler and VM. I managed to to finish the initial part of the compiler and the vm. I was able to add integers, it can’t add float and it can’t do any operation other than addition. What I will do now is to add float to compiler so I can add them, and then I will I will add the other operation. I hope this bytecode compiler phase works good, so I can implement the full compiler so Zod could be like Go, Zig, and Rust in the future.
DevLog#10 — Finished adding FLOAT_OBJ to the bytecode compiler and vm. Also, supported the operations +, -, *, / . I Implemented BOOLEAN_OBJ and comparison expression in the bytecode compiler and vm too. I will work now on adding more ways in the comparison expression. Also, adding if conditions.
DevLog#11 — Finished adding the other comparison expression. I implemented if conditions to the bytecode compiler and the vm. It worked just fine, but It was tense ordering the instructions to make the compiler compile the if condition in a good way. I must now start by adding else-if, and variables. Wish me luck.
DevLog#11 — I have added variables to the bytecode compiler and the vm. Mostly, it was easy, but the assigning char := was a bit tricky to implement in the bytecode compiler and the vm. I made a global environment for setting and getting the values in the variables. I must now focus on implementing / adding strings, arrays, and hashes. Wish me luck……

I have completed 70% of the language. I hope ZodLang really turn to be something great. Wish me luck. And stay tuned for the cool things coming.
DevLog#14 — I have added Closures and I can finally said I finished ZodLang bytecode compiler and vm ( I mean that I just finished the core of the language ). The coming DevLogs will be fire……. Stay tuned………

I will improve the built-ins function and add a full stdlib . Also, the Demo for the current in developing version will be cool….. Wish me luck…

made the opening window and the top navbar! currently working on the first app which will be a bunch of music.
added an app + open/close/draggable function, plays some songs
added a currently into window
i made a terminal!!!! with a very secret command… whoever finds it gets a big hug
made a file explorer! has a photos, docs, games, and code tab. you can click, go back, exit, etc.
added a password protected lock screen and also a way to get hacked so be careful

I made my very own OS using HTML, CSS, and JS. It was kind of challenging doing the dragging/opening/closing functions since I have not worked with JS before but I really enjoyed customizing this and making it unique to myself, and I got to share some of my interests.
I continued by OS project and added 3 new features: a terminal, file explorer, and also a lock screen that is password protected. I really enjoyed this and am pretty proud of what I made- and I definitely learnt a lot more about js....

It’s always CSS. When it is not CSS. I have so much beef with the transform property. For starters, it took me 5 hours to put the transform controls around the target element. And THEN some to get it pixel perfect. Not to mention how RESIZING IS SUCH A PAIN because changing the width and height adjusts the pivot point of the target element. At the very least, I didn’t have to worry about writing unit tests all that much for this project (AI is very good at it). Other stuff I think the most fun part of this project is writing the function that handles overlapping rectangles’ collision resolution. The whole process reminded me of Arcade haha.

Making a front-end library for my other project because the existing ones are annoying to use and are all unmaintained (I am starting to see why…🙃). Anyways, dragging and resizing (when not rotated) are implemented. Attached videos are funny bugs I ran into along the way.
Ok so, fixed the issue in the last devlog where the rect don’t resize properly when it’s rotated (I used 120% of my brain’s potential). Then, I implemented rotation with some help with atan2 from a certain LLM. Plus changing the cursor on hover while rotated. Check out the beautiful video I threw together (using 4 clips lool).
Added grid and rotation snapping! Works pretty well if I do say so myself. On top of that, arrows also work for shifting the element. Nice! (the self glaze continues)
Added a way to define bounds in which the manipulated object cannot move out of. Took a bit longer than I would’ve liked, but it’s coming along nicely!
Did a bunch of chores to cleanup the project a little. Had to get some help from the dark wizard (Chat) for build config stuff. Project demo is also available on Github Pages: https://andynoob.github.io/move-it/
Did some more MATH. Now it collides. Yay! Check video for a quick surface level explanation of the algorithm (if ur interested)
Just… wrote the README. An hour of my life that I will never get back…………. 🙃
MORE WORK On THE README!!!!
Added a way to disable rotate/drag/resize individually!
Added a auto resize feature! Not much to say but it took surprisingly little effort to implement. I thought I would’ve had to re-code half the codebase
Guide line snapping can now follow resizing! Code lowk getting a little messy, but it’s still borderline acceptable haha. Now on version 0.3.0 :)
YOOO new feature! autoSize option keeps elements anchored at their center when their sizes change. Took a minute but we got here, ha!
RAHHHHHH RECODE (v1.0.0) - Turns out when you keep adding features on the fly into an existing system, things start going haywire because the system was not designed to have those features. - Anyways, after spending like 3 hours trying to fix those haywires, I decided to just do what I should’ve done: rewrite the damn thing. Well, turns out, it wasn’t even that much of a rewrite since all I had to change was like three files…
Ships:
MOVE IT! A library that adds simple PowerPoint like DOM object manipulation: resize, drag, and rotate. Pretty lightweight and comes with (very beautifully) styled controls. This library also provides the means for you to calculate collision via an implementation of oriented bounding boxes. Links The more detailed details can be found on the README: https://github.com/AndyNoob/move-it You can find a simple demo here: https://andynoob.github.io/move-it/ Annoying issues I ran into on the way It’s pretty much just CSS. It’s always CSS. When it is not CSS. I have so much beef with the transform property. For starters, it took me 5 hours to put the transform controls around the target element. And THEN some to get it pixel perfect. Not to mention how RESIZING IS SUCH A PAIN because changing the width and height adjusts the pivot point of the target element. At the very least, I didn’t have to worry about writing unit tests all that much for this project (AI is very good at it). Other stuff I think the most fun part of this project is writing the function that handles overlapping rectangles’ collision resolution. The whole process reminded me of Arcade haha. Check it out if you’re interested/in need of letting users transform objects in DOM.
Move It (DOM front end object manipulation library thingy) This ship includes a few bug fixes and a BIG re-code that cleans up a lot of tech debt (or whatever the correct term) from me adding stuff without planning ahead. Namely, the RectState positioning API actually fully works, as the library now respect the relative-ness, offset, etc. based on the initial format options (see docs). Before, the library tries to do a bunch of coordinate conversations that break down really quickly. Yay- check the other devlogs for screenshots/videos, or try out the demo website!...

Added a Space and NASA category! The app is lowk looking really good rn :)
Fixed some bugs post ship… and updated the readme.
Rewrote the readme and added features like pick of the day, dark mode, and sound effects.
Changed website to be hosted on vercel and made some tweaks
Changed up the website’s look, hosted on Vercel, and fixed the sign-in issues.

But after all that, the end result was 200% worth it. I showed it to my parents and they were happy and it was a pretty nice moment. How to test my project: click the link, mess around with the arrows, and observe the magic!
This update focuses on the critiques and recommendations I got from my previous ship’s reviews. It completes every request and makes the project USABLE, and more readable. The biggest challenge was deciding how to prevent the time form swiping too quickly, in the end I was able to figure out that a pause button was the best solution. At first, I was able to use this to show my parents how long they’ve been married. Now YOU also have that opportunity. Feel free to also use this as a stopwatch, or just a general time tracker since any event in history. Please see the demo video here: https://youtu.be/d_lGbp6TXaE...

I have made a new plan and design for the website. I am also trying to learn HTML, CSS and JS while building this project that’s why its taking too long. i am learning the thing first before i implement it in the codes. Claude is helping me in the learning part, but i swear i didn’t used it to generate a single line of code. It is just instructing me on what to do next. I will not reveal the plan right now. Try to guess it Here’s a screenshot.
The project is going good. I am planning to ship the version 1 without the info in there, cause i just came to know that the first ship won’t be rated. So, i’ll just have the requirements completed and the project will be get its first ship right away. I have added 7 circles here, what could be the plan for the design? can you guess? Edit: I just left claude and i’m tryna do it alone.
Ok, i have completed all the requirements. I’ll do the design stuff later. I’m making the first ship now.
Just tryna spit some words from the soul here No design work done yet, just plain code. Also, should i add a timeline to show everything i did online. I can use it for scheduling projects also.
Yoo, i just added some designs that i learned from a tutorial type video. The panel looks cool. But now, i’ll work on another thing inside of it. The Timeline. It will be revealed soon. What do you think about this project.
I love my project more than anything. That’s why i made a separate projects.html for them with a timeline. All of the projects not included till now. And will not be cause the no. of projects is still increasing day by day. They are mostly on the june to october side cause before that, i used to delete failed projects and also heavy AI usage was there. Here’s a screenshot.
I changed Achievements to Specials. Made some design changes. Added more projects. Added some Specials. Changed the planets and now they play an animation.
Ships:
The-KB i my personal website under the mission personal site. This site is based on space theme. This is my first ship. I will add the designs and some more info later as i go. Right now it has 7 circle (they’re supposed to be planets actually)
THE KB I made my personal website with the personal website mission. This website is space themed, it has planets for different thing like Introduction, Projects etc. You have a ship and you explore the planets. The website is made to scroll horizontally. Mobile version isn’t available right now. The website will continue to go on as i make more projects do more stuff in my life....

devlog 2 - It’s alive! The town is now up and running over at https://vapor-wav.itch.io/automatown Currently, you can simulate any of the 256 elemantary cellular automata in a grid of a customizable size, where you can either set the grid manually, randomly or a mix of both. You can also look at four premade examples showcasing some cool stuff, that you can also change manually.

That’s pretty much it for this devlog, if you have a suggestion for a new feature or found a bug please do tell, and have fun with the program!
devlog 3 - entering the second dimension Conway’s Game of Life has entered automatown. You can simulate the game of life, move around, zoom in and out, proggress incrementally or continuously, and change the speed of the simulation. currently has one example as I don’t have more ideas, if you have a suggestion i’d welcome you to tell me about it. Also added zooming in and out for the other automaton, and letting you choose if the edges are ignored or if there will be edge wrapping. you can try it for yourself at https://vapor-wav.itch.io/automatown
devlog 4 - new lives The game of life brought all of his friends to the town - you can now simulate all life-likes! make self replicating petterns, rules where nothing can die, where everyone dies, you can go wild! Most people know only about the game of life but trust me, life-likes are incredible, complex and beutiful, and there are hundreds of thousands of them. also slightly improved the code for detecting clicks on empty/live cells you can play around with the program over at https://vapor-wav.itch.io/automatown next I will probably add either Langton’s ant or Wireworld, stay tuned for that.
devlog 5 - building more neighbourhoods You can now do something that I genuenly never saw, and seems to be rarely talked about - you can manually set the CA’s neighbourhood! make ’em smaller, bigger, zig-zaggy, outer-only, whatever you want! and you add to that any rule set you want, meaning you can now make 1,099,511,627,776 different CAs. as always you can check it out at https://vapor-wav.itch.io/automatown
devlog 6 - Colors! Electicity! (qol!) The town got expanded into the multiple-state territory, adding WireWorld! with this CA you can very effectively simulate electrical circuits, logic gates and all of that jazz. Also added ui so the user can more easily: See the controls Get back to the main menu
devlog 7 - Added explanations! + a call for help added five small introductions, one to explain cellular automata in general, and 4 for the specific automata you can simulate in automatown, complete with fun facts and some insight on the examples. Hopefully the game can now be used by people enitrely unknowing of cellular automata and help them understand them and learn to love them. now, the last thing I do before shipping it, I’m asking YOU, the good people of stardance, to help give me feedback. I want this to actually be informative, and I made this project because I thought it would be fun to make the more technical side of things so I’m not confident this more user-oriented part turned out well. Please, if you can spend like 10 minutes to look at automatown and comment here (or dm me in discord-guy729/slack-guydryzun) what you think it would be of great.
devlog 8 - A try at visual improvement This is the first and probably last devlog after the first ship. The feedback was pretty positive, so thatnks to everyone who wrote a nice review! still, there were some problems. The two main problems were the horrendous ui and the itch page not showing everything when not in fullscreen. I’ll start with the latter - I fully knew about this before shipping and have already did all I could think of to solve this, I genuinely have no idea why it’s like that, sorry. Now for the ui - I tried. I really did, I just don’t have that in me, so the game still doesn’t look great, but better than before. I will say, I added a something I think is very cute for the game’s title, no spoilers though. I also fixed a few minor bugs and veeery slightly improved the experience, but not anything big. There are still some bugs, but I have a lot of other projects I need to focus on plus I’m pretty happy with automatown as it stands, so this is most likely the last devlog and ship.
Ships:
Automatown is a sort of simulation game all about cellular automata. Made for fans and new-comers alike, automatown has a wide range of simulations for automata small and simple to big and complex, but also has explanations of everything on offer to make sure everyone can learn and have fun, even containing example automata / grids so you can easily see the mst important stuff. On a more technical note, this is my first simulation game so while I put some effort in making it smooth, the optimization can be a bit iffy, but not to a level that should really negatively affect most people’s playthroughs. The game is very much lacking sound effects and graphics, but I am mainly interested in making the actual simulation part, so it will come in due time, just might take a bit.
Uhhhmmmm same as last ship just with slightly better visual stuff. Idk just read the last ship’s message....

I worked on the previous feedback and I have updated the game. One of the biggest issues people found was that the anyone could easily cheat .[Consider reading devlog #10 for more =) ] Previously, anyone could open the browser console and see the random number directly. They could also execute the `saveScore` function with fake values, like completing the game in one try on Impossible difficulty, and the server would simply trust that data and add it to the leaderboard. (￣▽￣;) To avoid this, I implemented some changes. Previously, the random number was generated and verified in the frontend using JavaScript. Now, all of that logic has been moved to PHP. The random number is generated on the server, checked on the server, and only whether the entered number is correct or not is sent back to the browser. This means that even if someone tries to call the `saveScore` or `setScore` function manually from the browser console without actually winning, the server will simply reject it. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ I also received some feedback about the sound effects. Some people said the error sound was a little too sudden, and honestly, looking at it from their perspective, they're right. So I made a few changes regarding that as well. - By default, the Disable Sound option is now enabled. - Anyone can turn the sounds back on anytime. - The preference is saved in Local Storage, so you won't have to change it every time =) - I also applied the Disable Sound option to the win sound as well as per the feedback. For now, I'll consider this project shipped, but I still plan to add more features and improvements in the future based on your feedback. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. And yeah, I would still love any feedback you want to share.

For this time I have made a Game Binary Bound . The concept is simple , the JS generate a random number and you are supposed to guess it in least number of tries possible , but there is more than that . I tried to make the game more interesting and fun . I will explain it properly in the features section below =) **Features** **Levels **: There are total of 6 levels where you guess the number between Level 1 : 1 - 10 Level 2 : 1 - 100 Level 3 : 1 - 1000 Level 4 : 1 - 10000 Level 5 : 1 - 100000 Level Impossible : 1 - 1000000 **HINT (for non-hardcore mode)** : There is also a hint below the input box where you will be given hint , which will tell you the next number you are supposed to guess is higher or lower the current one you just guessed. Let me leave no confusion . Assume you are playing Level 2 (its also selected by default =) ) You chose 50 , and the hint says something like \"Hint : Nah buddy, try Guessing Lower\" then you can totally eliminate Numbers below 50 and chose any lower and the process reapeats . hopefully it was clear . **The HARDCORE Mode** : What if there was no hint 😗 . How would you guess the your next number ? Yep thats Hardcore mode , but I know it would be abit tooooooo dificult if we imagine it with level 3 or 4 or even higer . Thats why i have also added the GIF system (HARDCORE lifesaver). **The secret HINT**: GIFs are fun ! So to make the game more interesting I have also used the GIFs but its role is actually more than that .For the Hardcore mode player It could sometime act as a Secret Hint . Its expalined in the Devlog #6 but lemme expain to you in short anyway. There are total of 18 GIFs which will be displayed randomly in the game . Among which 3 are hints which hints you to guess lower and another 3 are hints which hints you to guess higher . Which means there is 33.33% chance that the GIFs = Hint =) It is applied to all Level and modes . I hope it was clear =) . [It is also explained in detail in Devlog #6] **The Leaderboard** : I have integrated a leaderboard system where all the players will be listed who has guessed the number at least once . Also I would like to explain you the ranking system . The common rule is the one who gusses in the least number of tries ranks higher(at the top). But here is a catch , In case if there are two players with same number of try and they achieved the position same number of time then they will share the same rank . Lemme give you an example : Assume two players (Player A and Player B) Player A guessed the number in 2 tries ( one time ) Player B also guessed the number in 2 tries (two times) Then in that case Player B will be ranked above player A . **The SFXs** : There is sound effect (different for each , correct guess and incorrect guess (meme sound btw😅) . Its just for fun , but you can mute that option by clicking on the Error sound btn (and your preference will also be saved in localStorage =) ) Now lemme tell you some more about my project . I first time saw this design (theme) in the instagram and tried to replicate in , and I found what colors they exactly use from this site : https://neumorphism.io/#e0e0e0 I will be transparent and declare the use of AI : I used AI (Gemini and ChatGPT) . ChatGPT while making the shake error nad Gemini especially for Debuging the backend and while making the leaderboard system . I assume thats it for this project . Its my biggest project I have worked on so far . **Thank you so much for reading .** If something was unclear please comment , i will reply =) **Have a nice day =)**", "repo": "https://github.com/sudipstha-01/Binary-Bound", "demo": "https://sudip-project-06.wuaze.com/"}]...

Thank you so much for all the feedbacks. I’m still reading them and trying to improve the game based on them. <(_ _)> One of the major things I worked on was securing the save score functionality. Previously, anyone could just open the browser console and just call the saveScore function with fake values, like one try on level impossible, and the server would just believe it and share it to the leaderboard. To fix this, I moved all that trust to the server side instead of the browser side sending the score data. The server now tracks everything itself using PHP sessions during the game. So when the game ends and submits a score, PHP just reads from its own memory instead of listening to the browser. And if someone still tries to use the setScore function from the browser console without actually winning, then the server will just reject it. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ I also got some feedback that some people did not like hearing the sound effects, as it was jumpscare, and watching from that persepective they are correct.

After the last devlog , I tried hosting/deploying the project on the internet and as I was doing that , I ran into 500 Internal Server Issue and I know its hard to believe but it took me 5 HOURS to only notice that the error was a single space (to be specific , Before fix=> header(“Content-Type: application/json”); After fix=> header(“Content-Type : application/json”); ) Honestly I didnt even know it could cause issue , as the previous code worked perfectly when i ran the code locally(using the vscode extension PHP Server by brapifra), It was Gemini who figured it out when I sent it the screenshot of the error and the code(after it was uploaded to the server). I literally thought it was issue with my account with which I was hosting , so I even tried creating multiple accounts and digged into Youtube and more but could find what was wrong, I feel really greatful to Gemini for this .

Welcome back to the journey of me converting a Simple Number Guessing Game(Named Binary Bound ) into a full on backend integrated game where you prove the world how lucky you are (probably😐). Lets start with whats new (will explain in detail below): Functioning Leaderboard Added a GIF section to make the game even more intresting. A secret hint for Hardcore Mode (will explain below). First lemme explain the Leaderboard system Players who guess the number in fewer number of tries ranks higher . If two or more players guess the number in the same number of attempts , the player with more total wins gets the higher rank . [Only the best records are considered for record , which means if a player guesses the number in 3 tries and later in 2 tries then only the record of 2 is stored in the database ] lemme give you an example : Assume there are two player , i.e Player A and Player B Player A : Guessed the number in 3 tries (only one time). Player B : Also Guessed the number in 3 tries but gets correct 2 times then player B will rank above Player A . I hope I was able to make thinkgs clear , if not please comment and I will try again to explain. Now Lets talk about The GIF system . We all know GIFs are fun , but here (expecially for hardcore mode player , it will be more than that .) (btw almost all of them are anime😶🌫️ GIFs) I have linked total 18 GIFs and among them 6 are hints. Lemme explain In details I have total 3 folders storing GIFs Folder name : [ Correct ] -> It has 3 GIFs from which a random any one will be played when the user guesses the answer correct . [ Down ] -> It has 3 GIFs which will be hinting downward . (Hinting guess lower) [ Up ] -> It has 3 GIFs which will be hinting upward . (Hinting guess higher) [ Error ] -> It has total 9 GIFs which has random GIFs , not meant to hint anything , they are just for fun . [ The GIFs will be played in all levels ranging from level 1 to level impossible ] How these GIF are helpful for hardcore player . Since the 6 of the GIFs are helpful or hintful you may say , then there is total of (6/18) = 1/3 ( 33.33% ) chance that the GIF might be helpful . eg. If you are playing Level : Impossible (i.e Guessing number from 1 to 1 Million🤧) and you took your guess and spot that the GIF hints you UP or Down then you could easily eliminate 500K numbers (if you choose 500,000). Hope I made this system clear as well .

Hello again , everyone! Welcome to Devlog #07 Before I get into the actual update , i want to mention about the to hackatime members( Other readers can skip to next paragraph ) that after i renamed some of my files name it totally created the new section on hackatime file and has sepetrated time counter for them and my time on the particular file started from 0 min again. I completely forrgot to mention this in the previous devlogs even though I have added this feature like few days ago that there is a sound effects which will be played when user gets the answer correct and also for incorrect (all of them are meme sound effects😅) and it will be played after the user take a guess. And the main update for this is that I have added a mute btn which will you can use to turn the error sound off , also the user preference of (off/on) will be saved in **LocalStorage **so it will remember your preference =) (as long as you are using the samebrowser) . Hope I made things clear if not please comment and i will try to explain again .. Also currently I am working on the responsiveness of the site ( and i suck at this fr). Thank you for reading . Have a nice day .
Devlog #08 Hello everyone , Welcome again . (I will keep this one devlog abit short) . This might be probably the last devlog for this project . Finally the polishing stuff is done . I have made this site responsive (still i recomend playing this game on pc / laptop , honestly i suck at making site responsive but i did try.) , also before I used index as position thats why i had an ranking issue on the leaderboard which took me longer to find then to fix it acutally (i will keep the screenshot somewhere below.). I plan to explain the whole game once again while shipping. Thank you everyone . Have a nice day .
**Hello Everyone! ** I know I said that the las one would be my final devlog.. but here I am again . Welcome to **Devlog #9. ** I know I said that the las one would be my final devlog.. but here I am again . Welcome to Devlog #9. According to the timer or the time spent on the project might be displaying around 2 hours , but behind it there is a whole story . Lemme tell You. After the last devlog , I tried hosting/deploying the project on the internet and as I was doing that , I ran into 500 Internal Server Issue and I know its hard to believe but it took me 5 HOURS to only notice that the error was a single space (to be specific , Before fix=> header(“Content-Type: application/json”); After fix=> header(“Content-Type : application/json”); ) Honestly I didnt even know it could cause issue , as the previous code worked perfectly when i ran the code locally(using the vscode extension PHP Server by brapifra), It was Gemini who figured it out when I sent it the screenshot of the error and the code(after it was uploaded to the server). I literally thought it was issue with my account with which I was hosting , so I even tried creating multiple accounts and digged into Youtube and more but could find what was wrong, I feel really greatful to Gemini for this . (The loading of GIF and sound still takes abit time when its loading for the first time,but it SHOULD be fine after that, hopefully😅). I understood the feeling of both frustration and exitment during this journey . I cant ensure you that the project is flawless but I hope it would be fun for you . Now I can say that , Finally the project is complete and here is the demo link : https://sudip-project-06.wuaze.com/ Will be Shipping soon! **Thank You SOOOOOOO Much . Have a nice day .
Finally Shipping !!!! Live Demo here : https://sudip-project-06.wuaze.com/ Have a nice day
Hello everone , Thank you so much for all the love and support last time, Now I have collected all the feedbacks and now currently am working on them, Thank you so much for reading , Have a nice day =)
Devlog #10 Game link : https://sudip-project-06.wuaze.com/ Hello everyone, Welcome to Devlog #10 of Binary Bound . Yeah, it’s the first devlog after the ship. First, I would like to thank everyone for the feedbacks and your love and support. I’m really glad, and I feel really blessed for all the feedbacks, comments, likes—everything. Thank you so much. (╥﹏╥)♡ And yeah, like I told before, I’m working on your feedbacks. I actually have not completed all the improvements that the feedback asked me to, but I’m still working on it. First, I fixed what I guess was the main issue. Anyone could console.log … theSUSimposter (Those who know, they know.) (¬‿¬) (Actually it was the variable where the random number was created and stored) They could literally see what the random number was, and some of them also used the function I made to save the score by executing it directly from the browser console.(￣▽￣;) To avoid this, I implemented some changes. Previously, the random number was generated and verified in the frontend JavaScript. Now, I have moved that logic to PHP. The random number is now generated on the server, checked there, and only the result of whether the entered number is correct or not is returned. I’m currently working on securing the save score functionality as well. Once I finish it, I’ll upload the update and let you all know. Also one more thing , i accidently deleted the old database , i am so sorry , but i had one backup but not all of them are here, i apologize (╥﹏╥). Thank you so much. And yeah, I would still love any feedback you want to share. Thank you so much. <(_ _)> Have a nice day…
Devlog #11 Game link : https://sudip-project-06.wuaze.com/ Hello everyone, Welcome to Devlog #11 of Binary Bound. Thank you so much for all the feedbacks. I’m still reading them and trying to improve the game based on them. <(_ _)> One of the major things I worked on was securing the save score functionality. Previously, anyone could just open the browser console and just call the saveScore function with fake values, like one try on level impossible, and the server would just believe it and share it to the leaderboard. To fix this, I moved all that trust to the server side instead of the browser side sending the score data. The server now tracks everything itself using PHP sessions during the game. So when the game ends and submits a score, PHP just reads from its own memory instead of listening to the browser. And if someone still tries to use the setScore function from the browser console without actually winning, then the server will just reject it. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ I also got some feedback that some people did not like hearing the sound effects, as it was jumpscare, and watching from that persepective they are correct. So I made a few changes regarding that as well. • By default, the Disable Sound option is on. • Anyone can turn the sounds back on anytime. • Their preference is saved in Local Storage. • I also applied the Disable Sound option to the win sound as well. Thank you so much. And yeah, I would still love any feedback you want to share. (ᵔᴗᵔ). I will ship this project for now but will still add more features on it. Thank you so much. <(_ _)> Have a nice day =)

**Hello Everyone** , Welcome ! For this time I have made a Game Binary Bound . The concept is simple , the JS generate a random number and you are supposed to guess it in least number of tries possible , but there is more than that . I tried to make the game more interesting and fun . I will explain it properly in the features section below =) **Features** **Levels **: There are total of 6 levels where you guess the number between Level 1 : 1 - 10 Level 2 : 1 - 100 Level 3 : 1 - 1000 Level 4 : 1 - 10000 Level 5 : 1 - 100000 Level Impossible : 1 - 1000000 **HINT (for non-hardcore mode)** : There is also a hint below the input box where you will be given hint , which will tell you the next number you are supposed to guess is higher or lower the current one you just guessed. Let me leave no confusion . Assume you are playing Level 2 (its also selected by default =) ) You chose 50 , and the hint says something like "Hint : Nah buddy, try Guessing Lower" then you can totally eliminate Numbers below 50 and chose any lower and the process reapeats . hopefully it was clear . **The HARDCORE Mode** : What if there was no hint 😗 . How would you guess the your next number ? Yep thats Hardcore mode , but I know it would be abit tooooooo dificult if we imagine it with level 3 or 4 or even higer . Thats why i have also added the GIF system (HARDCORE lifesaver). **The secret HINT**: GIFs are fun ! So to make the game more interesting I have also used the GIFs but its role is actually more than that .For the Hardcore mode player It could sometime act as a Secret Hint . Its expalined in the Devlog #6 but lemme expain to you in short anyway. There are total of 18 GIFs which will be displayed randomly in the game . Among which 3 are hints which hints you to guess lower and another 3 are hints which hints you to guess higher . Which means there is 33.33% chance that the GIFs = Hint =) It is applied to all Level and modes . I hope it was clear =) . [It is also explained in detail in Devlog #6] **The Leaderboard** : I have integrated a leaderboard system where all the players will be listed who has guessed the number at least once . Also I would like to explain you the ranking system . The common rule is the one who gusses in the least number of tries ranks higher(at the top). But here is a catch , In case if there are two players with same number of try and they achieved the position same number of time then they will share the same rank . Lemme give you an example : Assume two players (Player A and Player B) Player A guessed the number in 2 tries ( one time ) Player B also guessed the number in 2 tries (two times) Then in that case Player B will be ranked above player A . **The SFXs** : There is sound effect (different for each , correct guess and incorrect guess (meme sound btw😅) . Its just for fun , but you can mute that option by clicking on the Error sound btn (and your preference will also be saved in localStorage =) ) Now lemme tell you some more about my project . I first time saw this design (theme) in the instagram and tried to replicate in , and I found what colors they exactly use from this site : https://neumorphism.io/#e0e0e0 I will be transparent and declare the use of AI : I used AI (Gemini and ChatGPT) . ChatGPT while making the shake error nad Gemini especially for Debuging the backend and while making the leaderboard system . I assume thats it for this project . Its my biggest project I have worked on so far . **Thank you so much for reading .** If something was unclear please comment , i will reply =) **Have a nice day =)**
Shipping the Updated version Game link: https://sudip-project-06.wuaze.com/ Hello everyone, Welcome First of all, thank you so much for all the feedbacks. I worked on the previous feedback and I have updated the game. One of the biggest issues people found was that the anyone could easily cheat .[Consider reading devlog #10 for more =) ] Previously, anyone could open the browser console and see the random number directly. They could also execute the `saveScore` function with fake values, like completing the game in one try on Impossible difficulty, and the server would simply trust that data and add it to the leaderboard. (￣▽￣;) To avoid this, I implemented some changes. Previously, the random number was generated and verified in the frontend using JavaScript. Now, all of that logic has been moved to PHP. The random number is generated on the server, checked on the server, and only whether the entered number is correct or not is sent back to the browser. This means that even if someone tries to call the `saveScore` or `setScore` function manually from the browser console without actually winning, the server will simply reject it. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ I also received some feedback about the sound effects. Some people said the error sound was a little too sudden, and honestly, looking at it from their perspective, they're right. So I made a few changes regarding that as well. - By default, the Disable Sound option is now enabled. - Anyone can turn the sounds back on anytime. - The preference is saved in Local Storage, so you won't have to change it every time =) - I also applied the Disable Sound option to the win sound as well as per the feedback. For now, I'll consider this project shipped, but I still plan to add more features and improvements in the future based on your feedback. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. And yeah, I would still love any feedback you want to share. (ᵔᴗᵔ) Thank you so much. <(_ _)> Have a nice day! =)...

tryna fix this page error right for the past 10 mins. I found the problem right now and fix it. btw how does the UI look? Iam going to add more things like comparing it to the real planets in its category. This is it for the first devlog for the spider-man coded planet classifier!
Added comparison to earth subtle background changes if you can see them (its halftones).
I decided to Redo the UI and here is the list of what I will add: (not done yet) 3d Planets and lighting Real-time Orbit animation Interactive camera controls Orbital Path Ring will complete all this points by trmw and Update here!
so i started the website, but the 3D models due to Three.js errors through CDN. I will fix it this weekend because of multiple tests lined up in school, wish me luck.
doing the interface again so I can remove the error and fix the 3D UI crashing :) (planning to add to it more)
Done with setting up the models and Drag controls next devlog will be posted when i fix the UI CDN crash :) see yall soon!
I finally fixed the UI crash error (it was a api error) and refined it later on, You guys can try it right now!! here is the before and after refinements and more coming throughout this week!!.
GOT A LOT DONE TODAY but… A bug came on the focus camera preset (which i will fix trmw) Changed the default positioning and added cool animations before showing the result in bottom left. P.S- if you are trying out, PLEASE do not click on the focus planet camera preset.
Hello yall, today are some bug fixes and updates: Fixed Javascript Reference & Scope errors. Fixed Focus Planet camera preset (you can try it out now!). Fixed starfield rotation and alignment. Upgraded Stars Graphics and Shape. More features coming soon!
Update: added SFX to results and buttons on the site.
Update: added different planet texture depending on the result (theory on what would it look like) try it out now!.
Update: removed Changing Planet Texture because its not right to theorize of how it would like. added camera movement when computing model data.
Huge Update: added scatter plot to show where your customized sits besides other exoplanets using NASA’s exoplanet archive data. it is a little buggy right now, I will fix it trmw (since I have to sleep now).
Update: go test it right now! Finally solved the graph overlapping with the simulation. the simulation starfield contines as the the background for graph and analytics section ( which will be added trmw!).
HUGE UPDATE: Try it out now (probly my second-last devolog) Finally added the refined the whole graph. added a summary box (not complete yet). Fixed all the bugs with controls.
Last Update for V1.0: Implemented Mobile Touch Controls Optimized Rendering Performance -Configured Open-Source Repository if you guys want to add more features and shii. PLS check out my github Repo.
UPDATE (v1.1) I read the review and here is what I have referenced from those reviews from the ship: Habitability UI breakdown UI. 3d Goldilocks overlay that automatically resizes based on stellar temp. added astrophysical ML safety guardrails to not miscalculate result. Real-time Physics & updateSimulation pipline. Fixed Planet profile matching.
Update: working on v1.2 changed the info section to a little more sci-fi to match the theme. more features coming up (hint: ASCII scrambling).
Update (v1.2) added ASCII scrambling to make the info block not look bland. planned to add a option to change host star type as a suggestion from reviews. more coming this week!
Ships:
A basically made a website where you can make your own planet and compare it to our earth to see if your planet is a bum where no creature can survive or we can go to it to inhabit it one day.
The Cosmic habitable planet classifier V1.1 is an interactive simulation designed to analyze planetary habitability using real-time astrophysical calculations and machine learning predictions. Used Three.js for the 3D visual elements. Basically, this can be used by teachers, students and researchers who want to test their theories by making their your custom planet and see their research hypothesis was true or not....

Website Scraper Through the use of the JSoup java library I tried implementing a website scraper, witch takes all of the elements on a website and displays it as plain text on the console. This method worked for less secure sites such as wikipedia, but on most recipe sites that may use cloudflare it did not work. This is likely due to the anitscraping measures cloudflare has set. To work around this I may play around with other java libraries that usually have a higher success rate. Also, I don’t know why my coding time saved under the ‘user’ project in hackatime rather than a frictionless project. If anyone can help with that, that would be lovely.
Ingredients can now print on the console I have just finished a prototype version where, when given a recipe link, the ingredients of the recipe are printed. This took a lot of time, and I had to change what package i used to make it work. The trick to make this work really boiled down into the fact that most recipe websites store their data in json. As a result, this is really easy to scrape and extract. Here is an example of the ingredients of some chocolate brownies printing in the console.
Scraping & Parsing logic fully complete! After a lot of work, I converted the code from printing the recipe onto the console to returning it as a JsonObject. This will ideally allow me to use an api to fetch it from a frontend website. I tested the program with various recipe websites and they all seem to work! Originally, I was having trouble with website security features but through the use of selenium I was able to get past to the website. For the next devlog I hope to be done API integration, and some basic front end testing.
Recipe now sent via http! Through the use of the spring boot and Spring java frameworks, I was able to take my preexisting recipe extractor, and send the json data locally via http. Right now this only works locally, so my plan is to have this running on a server where it can be called on at any given time by the front-end. Learning how to use the Spring framework in java was quite hard, and this was the first time I worked on back end work like this. As a result, I did use AI to assist with spring boot implementation. the way you can run the program with any recipe is by, when the program is running, go on your browser, and enter the assigned port with the following attatched: /api/extract?url=RECIPE_URL This is truly a big step for me now that the back-end is completely done. Now, I will be moving on to creating the actual website that the user will interact with.
Basic website complete! I have finished a prototype website. Right now the website looks like hot garbage, but I plan to change that. The way it works is it asks the user for a url, witch they put in the textbox, than after the input is error checked it is sent to the localhost server, with the input attached to the end of the url. Then, the recipe information is sent back to the website, where it is than displayed as plain text. In the future I plan on running the java application on my nest serve, and I will also look to find a way to host the website. Also, I plan on making the website look nicer as my next step.
Got Nest Server Request Handling Working! Instead of running the java program on my local computer I got it to run in a terminal window on my nest container. To accomplish this I used tmux. Thus on my website, I can send requests to the admin1.hackclub.app website rather than local host. This is a big step in the right direction, as it allows me to run requests 24/7. The next steps for this project is to polish up the website and get a domain for it. After that, the project will be ready to ship.
SO MANY BUGS! So, my scraper is working perfectly on my laptop but sometimes when I run it on the nest server it does not work for specific websites. For example, for some food network recipes it seems to be redirecting me to an alternative link. My hypothesis for this is that it thinks i’m coming from the uk (perhaps server location) and is trying to redirect me to the uk website. Hence, my logs show for a lot of the failed attempts the page title being “Recipe and Global Dishes | Food Network UK”. Next steps for me may include retrieving the url to see if a redirect occured, and perhaps checking if I can configure the headless chrome i’m using to show as being a static country such as always being in the us… We will see…
Errors With Some Recipes Continue to Persist I can not seem to fix the issue where some recipes redirect the user to their local home page via popupos. I tried setting the chrome drivers language and country to the US and english, but it seems like they are using IP to determine location. Thus, due to the usage of a nest server where the IP is likely not in the US I am unable to access some websites. If anyone has a solution that would be much appreciatecd.

Hello, I forgot to log this hour before shipping, but I just worked on the java code a bit and tried fixing some of the underlying issues in the code that I discussed in previous dev logs. Some issues still persist, but the website does work for a significant portion of websites.
Ships:
For this project I set out to make a website that takes any recipe online, and leaves you with only the recipe;without all of the boring story. Fortunately that is exactly what I have accomplished.

Secondly, this website allows you to view recipes on your phone without the site shutting off with a simple toggle of a switch, a feature most sites still don’t have. Lastly, to keep track of witch step you are on, you can click on the steps after you finish them, and they will grey out with a strike through, indicating that you are past this step. I hope you enjoy this project and the countless hours spent to make it real!
In this Ship I continued to try and fix the underlying issues with scraping some websites. I believe I got some more working, with more thurough JSON checking. Their are some that still dont work due to the aforementioned cloudflare issues...

Zeno-Bot is a slack bot i made especially to be useful when it comes to using slashed as commands. It can now make jokes,fetch facts,get u some images of space and do more. Demo will be soon found in the introduction website (which is under the try project button).
Zeno-Bot can finally run 24/7. Here is what i have done within half an hour - -Set up Slack Bolt app using Socket Mode -Connected environment variables using a .env file -Integrated external APIs for real-time data .
I have added new commands for zeno-bot and i think there were quite loads of bugs here but fixed them.

The beginning of the html, setting up the main template and some simple styling. The website needs to be good for the users, and a part of that is making it easy to understand, and comfortable to look at and use. I also made it available at demo.charleilei.dpdns.org, and started my readme file.
I have added the main boxes for the important parts for the site and started to work on the utilities inside the website. The main part is the quick site access. People have different needs when it comes to the websites they use. For that reason, there are edit buttons (which I plan to improve in styling with css). The edit buttons accept name renaming and the link, which changes what shows, and what happens once the button is clicked. The link accepts both with and without https:// or http:// . It asks for this information through a popup, as shown below. The data is stored in local storage in the browser, as usual. This has been tested in Google Chrome, but most common browsers should work with this.
I added more styling, and embedded a timeanddate clock, as well as gave the quick links an extra option that can be edited.
Added the weather part to the website. It gets location through the browser, which will now ask for location for that. It’s styling is still a work in progress, but getting weather on here (through an api) is an improvement.
Dark Mode Added! There is now a button that toggles between modes. The logo also now changes colour.
Added to utilities. Added stopwatch (embedded, and changes depending on light/dark mode), notepad (a simple code with script from the internet), and made it so it now has an image section, so you can upload an image, such as a timetable or something else that is needed frequently. The image doesn’t actually upload but converts to base64, and the browser stores it in local storage.
I have been making some mainly invisible changes. Also, I changed the styling for the button as per feedback. I have been reading all my shipment feedback - and if anyone reading this provided me with feedback then thank you! - and I have been deciding how to implement this. One of the suggestions was a search bar. Specifically, DuckDuckGo. I haven’t decided on the search engine I plan to use yet, but it may be DuckDuckGo, as per the suggestion.

I encourage people to use this as their home button or new tab on their browser if you want to, and as such I think it was a great suggestion to add the search bar (which I hope I will have done, or made more preparations for and done other changes for by next development log).
I have done lots of changes to the styling and alignment. I also added a map next to the weather. I added more rounding to certain elements, and made changes to the readme.
Made quite a few changes including changing the customise button to a pencil, as per feedback I received.
Quite a lot of styling changes, and now the dark mode is on the same website (as per feedback) and remembers using localstorage the previous selection.

What it does Upload notes — upload a PDF, pick a style (bullet points, flashcards, Cornell notes, whatever fits how you study), and AI generates genuinely new notes plus a 5-question quiz from it. Homework list — add tasks, tick them off, see your progress right on the dashboard. Timetable — a full weekly grid, click any cell and just type into it. Stopwatch + Pomodoro timer — track a study session, or use the Work/Break Pomodoro cycle. Dashboard that actually shows something — today’s homework preview, your study streak, and how many hours people around the world have studied on the app. Dark mode , because obviously. Im pretty proud of spending loads of time on this project and im yet to make it wayyy better.

It was rlly a great thing ive made along with the help of ai for some parts like the background and bugs to fix. Ive also added a new color picker for your background. I felt like brown shldnt be the main one, so il leave the choice to u to choose what colour background u rlly like. Explore my project to try my other colourss too!! 🎨 So what is new this update New color picker for your background Study room In the study room u can choose background, 4 lofis and focus with the pomodoro timer And yep pretty short but this is all for this devlogg and ima shipp the very next second i upload all the 4 lofis into my folder"}, {"post_id": 68053, "ts": "2026-09-14T13:08:29Z", "hours": 4.4186, "text": "UrStudyBuddy Devlog 15 - The neww zoneeeee! !! 4 hrs and 25 min is a bit too long so lets say it was 3 hrs and 45 min mostly spent after the 14th devlog.

The fidget zone is not something i really thought of at first because its a study site. But i realised maybe why not add it, some might have fun with it and so i have got it in my project. Try it out hereeee:- https://urstudybuddy.vercel.app/ For this fidget zone i used AI to get over with some bugs and sounds which worked quite well and its w!! I have also improved other things like the:- Auto save feature, create an account using ur email or username, get yourself logged in and work with anything like notes. If you leave, it gets saved and u can come back anytime for it in ur digital folder. I am still working on it for the timetable because it quite difficult to get over with it.

The project has finally got its sign up/ log in page. It took quite sometime and finally got the hold of it. Along with the sign up page i have added a lil cloud above the page where it reacts to whatever you type or do. Move your cursor around and see its eyes moving . And it goes red when you type a wrong password or the email is wrong. Signing up lets you save your tasks and notes incase you missed them (im still working on tis part). I have commited to github quite a lot this devlog. I have also come across many bugs especially with the database, a huge story that ruined the sign up page, but now its fine. So what was the bug about ❓ Im writing this because i believe it could be common problem for many people (and i hope it solves yours if you have a similar problem too- When creating a login and signup page, there should be a database created in your source of deployement, i use vercel. There was a major problem with creating accounts when trying the project out. The database (Upstash Redis) was connected to the project, but only for the “live” version — not for testing on my own laptop. So locally, my code was trying to communicate to a database it couldn’t actually find. Tis problem was found by checking vercel dev on my vs code terminal and it couldnt find database connections. So what did i do? - copied the actual API token and url values straight from Vercel’s Environment Variables page and pasted them into local .env. I have also committed this to github - Commit d53f1a0 (it can make it much easier) There might be still some problems so this feature wont be working right now (some will tho). So feel free to comment if you come across any bugs when tryin out tis project .

UrStudyBuddy Devlog 2 - More HTML & dashboard updates So for about an hour and 15 min, i have added more html for different tasks in UrStudyBuddy so i dont put everything in the same html, and is quite easier for me aswll. So the below pic is right now the current version of UrStudyBuddy (im tryna find a new name instead of Dashboard).

UrStudyBuddy Devlog 3 - Homework HTML & stopwatch feature In this devlog i have worked a lot in javascript and started working on the html and a bit of css. There were loads of bugs with the main.js file and it took me like 10 to 15 minutes to get over it. I also made several github commits on the page. I have made the homework html and worked on the stopwatch feature (which shows time u have taken doing a hw) which was kinda complicated but easy to deal it. So within the next devlog i will try to somewhat make the timetable page better with features u can use. Later on the timetable will have the best features to customize it however you want and will make the download button after some time.
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 4 - File arrangement & name input I had loads on problem about the files arrangement . They were duplicated and had errors and github commits were not kinda workin…so it took a long time to fix that aswll. So now github wont be updated with the current files and will soon make new commits. This pic below is the name input section where u gonna basically put ur name any way u like to and will be used throughout ur session. If web page is closed and reopened it wont most likely to safe ur name and i will be working on it towards the end of the update.
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 5 - Combined HTML files & new features I have taken about 1 hour to update my main.js because there were new changes i want to make to my file. So first of all, it started with 4-5 html files each with different features and now i have combined them and commited to github repo. I have made about 2-3 github commits today.

Thats all i have done within 1 hour.
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 6 - New settings, upper dock & digital clock This past hour i have worked on many ideas, i had to research a lot about downloading and stuff in js (i havent started and its gonna be lots of work inlcuding the ai generated notes). I have created a new setting and an upper dock in this project. It lets you use dark mode. Im gonna be setting the full project theme in purple for now and then change many things, the color theme isnt finalised yet and im deciding to make it light brown themed. I havent come across any bugs right now, the project is being functional and working well! For the above bar (dock) i have made buttons which are not functional yet but im going to add many things which will be useful. I have also made a digital clock for the website. 3-5 commits from the past 1 hr and 13 mins. Thats all for tdy!
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 7 - CSS rework & debugging It took loads of time in debugging, havent checked the output yet, and didnt code much but i did commit some commits in github this time. To be honest, within 2 hours i spent like an hour in css and the rest in debugging cuz i culdnt link java and css within the html as usual due to some bugs and kept switching browsers, and had an event recently so culdnt work much or wuldve gotten like 4-5 hrs this devlog.

The dark mode had issues until i recoded and finally it works. Check the below screenshot - its the dark mode for now. I really cant decide which color i shuld set for the website. I have worked on the dock as well as you can see in the screenshot below. I will soon update the dock styling and add extra buttons to it. I am planning to add extra stuff to the project to make it really awesome : - Login Streak Login feature (excluding sign in using google for now) Preview of what you have done so far Motivational quotes every 10 min Lofi music for studying Im planning more stuff to be added to this project. So stay tunned for more! Thats all for tdy
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 9 - CSS/JS reworks and new features This time i have got some really great ideas to make this project look really attractive and cool, so i have taken some time to research rlly good fonts for a website and i have gotten it here as seen in the screenshot. I have used ‘AI for some bit of js’ to help me with the study streak cuz it was confusing, came over minor bugs and have commited to github quite a lot tis time ( i had an issue with this aswll (took me 10-15 min to push a commit).

I am also working with the UI and the fonts to make it way better. And thats all for this devlog, and will soon ship it tommorow!!!🚢 !! ig i shipped it early
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 12 - Color theme update and dashboard stuff!! Nothing much this update, but after long 14-15 hrs i have finally changed the theme of the project, its brown and its awesomeee to me!! As you can see the below screenshot, its the dark mode and i feel its great, I have also edited the buttons to have a 3D effect cuz i like these type of buttons and i have used it in other projects of mine aswll. I also have created a ripple effect on the dashboard page which u can try out, its jst rough for now and doesnt seem good but by next 2-3 devlogs it will evolve So whats next ? Background/theme switching Login streaks tied to real accounts Real account login, multi-device Real transactional email (To send AI Notes) And that’s all for this devlog!!
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 13 - Login page and more This devlog is about 2 hours but i have come back to this project after a very long timee. So i have decided to come back with some really good news - Login page has come into production and will soon begin the next devlog!!! I have acknowledged some reviews after proposing this project on slack and i have decided to fix the minor bugs and add some stuff. The project seems to be a lil boring with same color so the background so i will make the background customizable and changable (but the current theme will be set default unless you change it) What i have done so far I have started working on the login page (some buttons wont work for now) Created two new js files under API file for login page so the accounts are stored in the database Planned on the study room (its gonna look really great) So check out my github for the code source and feel free to add any idea or bugs u find in the comments. And thats all for todayy
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 14 - Sign in and Login page first lookss!! !! The project has finally got its sign up/ log in page. It took quite sometime and finally got the hold of it. Along with the sign up page i have added a lil cloud above the page where it reacts to whatever you type or do. Move your cursor around and see its eyes moving . And it goes red when you type a wrong password or the email is wrong. Signing up lets you save your tasks and notes incase you missed them (im still working on tis part). I have commited to github quite a lot this devlog. I have also come across many bugs especially with the database, a huge story that ruined the sign up page, but now its fine. So what was the bug about ❓ Im writing this because i believe it could be common problem for many people (and i hope it solves yours if you have a similar problem too- When creating a login and signup page, there should be a database created in your source of deployement, i use vercel. There was a major problem with creating accounts when trying the project out. The database (Upstash Redis) was connected to the project, but only for the “live” version — not for testing on my own laptop. So locally, my code was trying to communicate to a database it couldn’t actually find. Tis problem was found by checking vercel dev on my vs code terminal and it couldnt find database connections. So what did i do? - copied the actual API token and url values straight from Vercel’s Environment Variables page and pasted them into local .env. I have also committed this to github - Commit d53f1a0 (it can make it much easier) There might be still some problems so this feature wont be working right now (some will tho). So feel free to comment if you come across any bugs when tryin out tis project . And thats all for today, the next devlog i will surely bring in - Login page working Study room Better AI Model for making notes And more fun ideas So thats all, see you next devlogg
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 15 - The neww zoneeeee! !! 4 hrs and 25 min is a bit too long so lets say it was 3 hrs and 45 min mostly spent after the 14th devlog. I have worked on something quite impressive but wierd to think of what its doing in such a project. what i have made , ive used AI - claude to make a rlly interesting thing Its called the fidget zone. The fidget zone is not something i really thought of at first because its a study site. But i realised maybe why not add it, some might have fun with it and so i have got it in my project. Try it out hereeee:- https://urstudybuddy.vercel.app/ For this fidget zone i used AI to get over with some bugs and sounds which worked quite well and its w!! I have also improved other things like the:- Auto save feature, create an account using ur email or username, get yourself logged in and work with anything like notes. If you leave, it gets saved and u can come back anytime for it in ur digital folder. I am still working on it for the timetable because it quite difficult to get over with it. And check out my project and try out anything u like, im also taking in comments and ratings from slack so i can improve it to make it ideal for all So see yall for the next devloggg!!
UrStudyBuddy Devlog 16 - Before the second shipp So this 16th devlog will be the last devlog before the second ship, or mostly my last ship before this project ends cuz i might get a lil busy. So i have finally added the best part of the urstudybuddy and infact the most useful resource out of the rest in the project - The Study Room . It was rlly a great thing ive made along with the help of ai for some parts like the background and bugs to fix. Ive also added a new color picker for your background. I felt like brown shldnt be the main one, so il leave the choice to u to choose what colour background u rlly like. Explore my project to try my other colourss too!! 🎨 So what is new this update New color picker for your background Study room In the study room u can choose background, 4 lofis and focus with the pomodoro timer And yep pretty short but this is all for this devlogg and ima shipp the very next second i upload all the 4 lofis into my folder
jst need to be edited again after sometime, cuz i mistakenly posted it
Ships:
UrStudyBuddy Ship - The first version FINALLY it works, UrStudyBuddy has reached a good stage and is now gonna be prepared for a way better version by me soooon! I have added my pomodoro timer, the generating notes work - i used gemini for this one ( in the sense of api key ) and when uploading ur pdf, make sure it is typed text and not pictures or any unclear sources ur uploading. What it does Upload notes — upload a PDF, pick a style (bullet points, flashcards, Cornell notes, whatever fits how you study), and AI generates genuinely new notes plus a 5-question quiz from it. Homework list — add tasks, tick them off, see your progress right on the dashboard. Timetable — a full weekly grid, click any cell and just type into it. Stopwatch + Pomodoro timer — track a study session, or use the Work/Break Pomodoro cycle. Dashboard that actually shows something — today’s homework preview, your study streak, and how many hours people around the world have studied on the app. Dark mode , because obviously. Im pretty proud of spending loads of time on this project and im yet to make it wayyy better. Hope you like it, and thats all for this ship!
UrStudyBuddy - The Second Ship Im rlly proud to see i have made tis project and when through loads of fixes (even during my examss) and i hope ul try it and to yall whoever is trying tis project a huge thank youu. Now u can scroll down What is this project capable of? Dashboard – See your homework, study streaks, and study stats all in one place. AI Notes – Upload a PDF and use AI to turn it into useful study notes. AI Quiz Generator – Automatically generate quizzes based on your uploaded notes. Saved Notes – Save your generated notes and come back to them later. Email Notes – Send your notes directly to your email. Weekly Timetable – Plan and organise your schedule from Monday to Sunday. Download Timetable – Download your timetable to use outside the website. Homework Tracker – Add homework and keep track of what you need to finish. Pomodoro Timer – Use focus sessions to help you stay on task while studying. Study Room – A dedicated space made for focused studying. Lofi Music Player – Listen to background music while you study. Study Scenes – Change the atmosphere of your study room. Fidget Zone – Take a quick break from studying with some simple interactive activities. Dark Mode – Switch to a darker theme for studying at night. Accounts – Sign up and log in to keep your study stuff together. Study Streaks – Keep track of how consistently you’ve been studying. Study Stats – See your study progress over time. These are all that has happened for this ship and will soon try to make a v2 of UrStudyBuddy, and thats all, try the project to see the other features not listed here....

I’m currently working on fixing the apps to appear on a bar on the bottom of the screen. I want to make it similar to the macbook interface. I’m going to add more apps with content as well.
I currently have gotten to making the panel at the bottom with all the sections. I am going to now work on making the actual components inside those different apps/tabs!
I found that the other features weren’t really working out for me. I created a Types of Music feature so that the user can view what they think may be their favorite genre.

In the process of creating my own personal Web Operating System - it’s kind of been a struggle because I’m a beginner but it’s been fun personalizing it so far!
I finished coding a notes app that I’m going to use almost as a blog for my friends last night. I need to start my Mission Control App, which I’m planning to be a progress report on my goals so my friends can keep me accountable.
I coded an interactive to-do list for myself that updates a progress bar, as well as a simple app that has links to my favorite albums.
I learned to use local storage, specifically I am using it so that if the user reloads the WebOS, the Progress Bar stays updated and the checkboxes stay checked. I also learned what it means to parse. I was using AI to help me understand local storage and it’s lowkey late at night right now so it took me forever to understand this very basic concept… whoops. But it’s ok ultimately I learned how to do it!
I just finished creating a settings app, and you can change the theme of the WebOS, which will change the background image, the font and color of all of the text, and the color of all other aspects. Next I want to save the selection to localstorage. All of the themes are based on Taylor Swift albums because she is my favorite artist!!
I think I’m ready to ship this, I added my favorite songs in the Favorite Songs app. I also made the theme be saved to localStorage, and the windows become a certain color when you choose a theme. The themes are now more readable because I added a background to them. I also updated the Notes app and the Mission Control app with some new entries.

I made a WebOS that shows my achievements, personality, and interests. It has draggable windows and 3 apps: Mission Control, which is an interactive to-do list that updates a progress bar for daily tasks; Sandhana’s Notes, which is essentially a blog; and Favorite Songs, which shows my favorite albums and has links to Spotify.
I added five new features to my WebOS: 1. All the clickable images now grow in size when hovered over. 2. The two images of myself are now linked to my resume and my Github. 3. I’ve added new entries to the Notes App and the Mission Control App. 4.

For my second ship, I’ve massively expanded KingOS 95! If you missed the first one, it’s a web-based OS built entirely with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS, inspired by Windows 95 and the lore of The Amazing Digital Circus (I recommend you to go see the 1st Ship). In this update, I’ve mainly add customization option. Here is what’s new: AMI-Like BIOS & Boot Sequence: The OS now actually “boots up.” You can interrupt the startup to enter a fully functional, keyboard-navigated BIOS screen before loading the desktop. Control Panel & Settings App: A centralized hub to manage the OS. Wallpaper: Added a Display Properties menu with hand-redrawn, classic tiled wallpapers (16x16, 32x32, etc.) and a live, perfectly scaled preview window. Accessibility (CRT Toggle): The CRT shader looks really good, but I added a global setting to turn it off so people with photosensitivity or eye strain can still play around safely. UI Polish: I’ve added new tools bar to the File Explorer and the CaineApp terminal. What was challenging? Without a heavy framework like React or Vue, global state management is hard ! When a user toggles the CRT effect or changes the wallpaper, that state needs to instantly update across the entire DOM and persist correctly. Also, building the live-preview monitor inside the Display Properties getting those tiny 16x16 pixel patterns to scale and tile exactly how they will look on the massive desktop required a lot of tricky CSS and JavaScript math. What are you proud of? I’m incredibly proud of the accessibility and the “feel” of the OS. Adding the CRT toggle means more people can explore the project comfortably. But mostly, I’m proud that I managed to add an entire BIOS environment and a global settings architecture while keeping the codebase 100% vanilla and very fast.

Devlogs:
Hi ! I’m adding the login phase of the webOS
Finished the login phase
Just add the clock (+ sound icon) and the start menu button
Now have a proper Start Menu
I now have clickable icon on the desktop !
Now able to create fully customizable windows, with custom icons, size, title, titlebar button
Now have the File explorer with pseudo File System using JSON File :
There now is all the file like in the episode
More files !!
now have caine app
I’ve just finished the CAINE App ! When you open the app You get the exact same text as in the episode. In the app you you type anythings (you can litteraly smash your keyboard) it will write the same input as in the episode ! Or you could just spam enter to get to the end ! (The text is from the fandom of The Amazing Digital Circus : https://tadc.fandom.com/wiki/Computer )
Add an invisible change but I now have a function to spawn window that I can use every where
I’m drawing the eyes of CAINE ‘cause i’havent found the pixel art online
I’ve just draw the hat!
I’ve just finished the lower part of his mouth
I’ve finished CAINE’s part : And start Bubble
Just finished bubble and assemble CAINE + Animation
CAINE & Bubble are now on screen !
Now there is some custom and responsive position for Bubble and CAINE’s heads & Bubble and CAINE’s heads can expand or contract depending on window size (i’ve also add a new C&A white icon)
Now there is a New CRT effect (the boot one is so beautiful) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M90K87DTchw

Now there is a Window 95 boot image
I’ve added boot sound and restart when Purge AI Program have finished
I’ve added the Recycle Bin window !
There now is a Window Error with custom error text
There is now Netscape ! I’ve used my other project KlassicOS to implement Netscape in this one. Because i’ve already done the code ! I’ve also fix some bug related to button and CSS because on this project I use 98.css but on KlassicOS i was making every 3d effect on the button by hand
It was hard but i now have resizable window ! With a window handle in the bottom right corner
Stardance said to me : "You will lost 2h33 if you ship right now without a devlog" so here is it. Yay the 20h bar have been reached !!! In the last 2h i’ve add a lot of things like: hosting the website on vercel, make the whole readme, update project detail on Stardance and add the C&A Favicon, (i’ve also fix some bugs). So now I’m ready to Ship ! Wish me luck !
I’m adding the Control Panel with the Display Settings, because a review say to me : You should add a flashing warning and a settings to disable the CRT effect
I’m recreating the screen in Display Management in Aseprite because I can’t find any resource for this online. This is so loonnnnggg I’ve just done the frame :,) (Also I’m pixel perfect)
I’ve finally finished the screen (the inside is blank so i could put so texture in it with some code)
Wow it’s been 2hours 😶. There now is a lot of things who have change ! There now a full Display Properties app (1st screenshot). And when you select a wallpaper there is a preview who fit perfectly into the screen and there is the ability to change the real background (2st screen shot) I’ve also redraw every wallpaper (for the most is just 32x32, 128x128, 64x64 or 16x16 repeated through the whole screen)
Now the CRT On/Off switch work ! (This was not that difficult, just add or remove an attribute to a div). The 1st screenshot is without and the 2nd is with the CRT effect
I’ve done various fixes and add the Netscape Logo Animation !
I’ve draw all the icon for the toolbar in the File Explorer ! and put them in with some CSS and JS so when you press the Up folder button you go….. ✨UP✨
I’ve done some invisible fix (like bugs etc…) AND draw every icon for the tools bar in the Caine App and add the tools bar itself !
I’ve drawn Caine but for a desktop icon !
I’m building the BIOS (when you press anythings on the boot menu)
I’ve add a BUNCH of CSS & JS so right now i’ve this result ! (this can be use fully with the keyboard)
Yay the 30 Hours have been reached 🎉 Otherwise I’ve added a popup when you press ESC to confirm you want to exit.
I guess i’ll make a Devlogs ! (other wise I’ll lost ✨31min✨) So here is the final readme for the 2nd ship

Added a context summarisation flag!

Hopefully helpful for larger, unfeasibly large codebases, though rather dependent on the context-summarisation model (currently big-pickle, seemingly the most reliably-always-free model with respectable and reliable performance, with little errors or json issues).

1: Movement and Meteors! This is the first devlog of my project “Meteor Dance”! The concept is that you are a spaceship traveling through a meteor storm. To know what space to avoid in order to not get hit by a meteor, the stars will twinkle where they will pass. I added objects that spawn meteors and warnings, the warnings will tell the stars when to light up and the meteors are obstacles you have to avoid. I also made player movement, but I accidentally deleted that timelapse… For now there are no stars, but I added little circles that show where a meteor will fall.
2: Stars and Bugs! Fixed a bug where a spawner spawned a meteor and a detector (I forgot to remove old code). There are now stars that spawn randomly! There’s 5 different sprites for the stars and every one has a bright and a base mode. The textures are placeholders. Added randomly sized meteors and increased their speed.

Chose the latter because it adds a litle suprise when a big meteor falls. Stars light up when they collide with a detector and the meteors follow the path of the detectors.
3: Textures and Fonts! This session was all about making Meteor Dance feel alive. I added sprites for the player, meteors and stars, giving everything a proper look instead of a placeholder. The player got an animation too, which makes movement feel a lot more dynamic. I also added a score system that ticks up every time a meteor passes, simple but it works.

4: Game & Over! This session I tried giving Meteor Dance a proper game loop. I started with a title screen to give the game a real entry point, then tackled difficulty scaling, the plan was to spawn more meteor spawners as the score increases, hitting thresholds at 10, 30, 50 and beyond. It took a while to get working, and after a lot of head scratching I realised I’d simply forgotten to add the difficulty object to the room. Classic. I also built out a full game over screen that shows your final score and tracks your all time high score using a save file, so there’s now a real reason to keep playing and push for a better run.
5: Polish & Sounds! LAST DEVLOG BEFORE SHIP I added a theme song that loops throughout the game, giving Meteor Dance a proper atmosphere. I also went back and polished all the sprites, the player and stars all look a lot cleaner now. On the sound side I added sound effects to bring the game to life, every meteor and star interaction now has audio feedback which makes the whole thing feel much more satisfying to play. Finally I added a bunch of quality of life improvements to smooth out the experience.
6: Transitions & Textures! Small but satisfying session today. I added smooth fade transitions between rooms, giving Meteor Dance a much more polished feel when moving between the title screen, game and game over screen. I also went back and tweaked some textures. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a game feel finished. I’m so happy that I’m almost done with my first game!
7: Particles & Scripts! I wrote my first standalone script in GameMaker, separate from any object event. I used it to handle particle effects for the player’s engine trail, which trails behind the ship as you move. Writing reusable scripts is a big step up from putting everything in object events, and it took some figuring out to get the particle system set up correctly. Really happy with how the engine trail turned out!
Ships:
Meteor Dance is a space arcade game, inspired by ‘‘stardance’’, where a meteor shower is approaching your spacecraft. Stars light up to warn you where the next meteor will fall , follow their rhythm to survive! Built in GameMaker from scratch over 5 devlogs. The trickiest part was getting the warning system working so the detector and meteor follow the exact same path since i’m new to coding. I’m most proud of the difficulty scaling and ice physics which make dodging feel really satisfying. Download it on itch.io for Windows!
I made Meteor Dance, a space arcade game where you dodge a meteor shower using star warnings. The stars light up before a meteor falls. I’m most proud of how the difficulty scaling feels — it starts calm and slowly builds into chaos as more and more meteors rain down. This is my second ship for Stardance, and I feel like I’ve learned a lot as this was my first game. I also tried to get the game running in the browser via HTML5 export, but ran into some technical issues with GameMaker’s HTML5 target, so for now it’s Windows only!...

Majorly updated the ui and also improved some of the engines and added a debug feature. Along with this your music if it is rotated or weridly shaped / moved it will auto rotate and fix itself.
NEW FEATURES - Added OMR so that you can just upload a pdf and it will automatically made the midi and mxl/xml file for you! This saves lots of time and allows you to just upload any sheet music you want without the worries of extra steps. Also added a tutorial of how to use the app as well as simplified some the the UI. Lastly, overall just improved the user experience and made things easier to use as well as fixed some bugs. Website: Corranzo.com
Added guitar to the app. So you can now practice guitar and also practice piano. Also added a visual practice mode now so you can see the notes closer up and it just makes it a lot easier to practice. Also improved the omr and the mic detection for wait for you mode.
Added a practice library that includes some songs you can play.
Improved Chord recognition and issues with playing more than 1 note at a time using mic detection.
I am working on improving OMR and Mic quality I have successfully improved mic quality for checking if you play the correct notes but OMR is proving to be very difficult.
MAJOR OMR UPGRADES and a lot of bug fixes and also some ui / ux improvements and just made the app look a lil nicer. Also I realized that I never said what OMR was so basically OMR is short for optical music recognition. So in Corranzo you need to upload a pdf, midi file, and mxl / xml file. The mxl / xml file and midi allow the song to be heard and also the scorefollow and the wait for you mode to work. What OMR does is it allows you to just have a pdf and the OMR will recognize symbols, notation, measures, beats, etc. and make the mxl / xml and midi file for you so all you need is a pdf. It is very challenging to get right and a lot of times it is plain wrong so right now what ive just been doing for around 20 - 30 ish hours of this time is just improving the OMR because its kind of what makes this product real.
It has been a while but I have been working a long time. So basically I have continued to work on omr and have also worked on some ui things. Omr has now gotta a full ai that looks at scores to generate the practice scene. Also, the visual practice area is now transformed to match the score exactly instead of guessing where the notes are.
Training the AI on 50 ish thousand different scores. Currently making a database of all the scores and turning them into training data then when it is done (soon as you can see in the pic) I will use the dataset to train the AI
I have been training the ai for 50 hours. it is still not done. I think I need to optimize this thing more lol also working on ui updates and making it look nice while the ai is cooking :)
More UI stuff and just waiting for the ai to finish training it takes a while
New ui finally done after forever
new ui fixes and other behind the scenes stuff
more behind the scenes stuff. wait for you mode was kinda messed up so fixing that
continued to work on a NEW FEATURE super super cool i will talk all about it in the next log. the pictures are kinda boring my bad. idk what else to put
working on fixing bugs
Ships:
I made a music app called Corranzo. You can import YOUR OWN sheet music which you can annotate on. This all saves locally to the browser so you can comeback anytime. But, what makes Corranzo be different and stand out is its wait for you mode. You can plug in a midi keyboard or just use the mic on your laptop, phone, etc. and it will help you to learn the piece you want to learn by waiting for you to play the next note(s) in the piece. To activate this you need to upload the sheet music, the mxl/xml, and a midi file of the piece. Along with this, there is also playback mode where you can hear and see your piece in action. Thank you for testing my project!!
NEW FEATURES ADDED - Added OMR so that you can just upload a pdf and it will automatically made the midi and mxl/xml file for you! This saves lots of time and allows you to just upload any sheet music you want without the worries of extra steps. Also added a tutorial of how to use the app as well as simplified some the the UI. Lastly, overall just improved the user experience and made things easier to use as well as fixed some bugs. This is Ship #2 as the first ship was more of an MVP while this is a working product now.

New additions are heavily impacted by community’s own responses to what should be improved, such as clearer indication of turns, tutorial progress saving, and a bit of my own additions, such as the Settings tab and Post-Game Statistics.

With new architecture decisions and SoC (separation of concerns) implementations, now it’s not only easy to expand the code, but easy to use in-person too!

A game, where you need to balance your positions and plan your moves. And, of course, have fun! Inspired by the classic board game Linja, Onlinja brings minimalist, tactical warfare straight to your pocket. Onlinja features Aggressive (one piece moves twice) and Strategic (two different pieces move) gameplay modes, smart UI, bots, and a lightweight mono-repository utilizing React Native/Expo for the frontend, plus a way to both learn the game and play with your friends, not only against highly competitive bots.

Before Stardance closes… After contacting Steffen Spiele directly and telling them about Onlinja, a love letter to one of their games, we settled on a mutual opinion of lack of attribution. Luckily, I managed to implement a distinct “credits” tab without casualties :) And, I am happy to present improvements for both developers and users!! 1. User-end improvements Taking a better look at your newest suggestions, I noticed 2 issues: Unclear tutorial Bland highlight colors I tried tackling both. While I couldn’t shorten the tutorial (as I’m not willing to update the rule spec), a new “Try it out” button was added to notify the player about an action block. The colors were boosted to have better distinction compared to standard lanes :) A spinning loader wheel now indicates when the app is ready to use. 2. Dev-end improvements To make Onlinja’s source also feel welcoming for developers, naming conventions, redundant code and skills were upgraded. Imports were refactored for code that’s easier to read and navigate, SoC is a priority while developing (to not make a mess). Expo 57 makes it easier for anyone to develop and test Onlinja, as newer Expo Go versions expect strict Expo 57+ compatibility. Centralized animation and other systems help when making consistent changes :) Conclusion This devlog (likely the last) demonstrates the most mature version of Onlinja singleplayer. As virtually no time is left before Stardance closes, and I won’t be able to implement multiplayer services, I want to conclude this project by saying a big Thank You to every supported and tester, and I hope I can see a big community grow when multiplayer eventually releases :P"}, {"post_id": 21718, "ts": "2026-07-03T20:12:55Z", "hours": 8.8967, "text": "You want it, I got it! How feedback from the community helped me improve Onlinja When I shipped Onlinja, I did not think about much. I had plans, and I still do, but the most important direction this project went to, I think, is the direction real users wanted the project to evolve in. I am super glad that the community’s notes are actually reported back to the developers. And, to my surprise, many opinions were highly similar. This shows 2 aspects: I am doing something well, when most of the personalized reviews say they love the same features. I missed some crucial points, when the same reviews point out similar improvements to be made, even without knowing what others pointed out. Happily, I wasn’t lazy and I read through the opinions. Not only did they make my heart warmer, but also shown that I was not moving forward with the right features. What exactly did I improve? Although the UI/UX experience was regarded as one of THE best by some, it lacked one thing - clarity when playing. Whose turn was it? No clear indication when a turn changed if you didn’t notice small text changing in the header when staring down to a monitor for minutes straight. This is now fixed. Also, a very simple addition included a “save and resume” feature within the tutorial. Now, even if you refresh the tab or browser crashes, you can’t lose tutorial progress! What won’t likely be implemented and why that makes me sad All of the things I said seem great - feedback-based improvements, better clarity and quality-of-life updates that make a project be worth the time spent creating it. But the 2 features I wish I could’ve added were: BotLabs (custom bot maker) Post-game analysis (like in Chess.com ) First feature was impossible to make the way I wanted due to how the game’s layout is constructed. I sacrificed this feature for a better overall coding experience. It’s not as vital for the project to live, but sad that I could not implement it. The second feature was entirely possible, but very difficult to plan out. What should be the data flow? What controls what? That led to me making a compromise - post-game statistics, that tell you these things: How many moves each player took? How many extra turns each player got? How many pieces ran all the way to the opponent’s base? And I think it’s a fair update :) In conclusion I am very pleased with the reviews and Stardance in general. I get to create what I love and share it with people who might love it as well. I am happy that the feedback made me grow stronger and I am thankful for every single person that helped me improve this project anyhow, opening my eyes on what were the real issues.

Mobile app issues fixed: Even when a dedicated app is not Onlinja’s primary choice for delivery, I will not abandon it as that’s why I picked React Native instead of normal React (this, and animation issues with normal React).

Expo 57 makes it easier for anyone to develop and test Onlinja, as newer Expo Go versions expect strict Expo 57+ compatibility. Centralized animation and other systems help when making consistent changes :) Conclusion This devlog (likely the last) demonstrates the most mature version of Onlinja singleplayer. As virtually no time is left before Stardance closes, and I won’t be able to implement multiplayer services, I want to conclude this project by saying a big Thank You to every supported and tester, and I hope I can see a big community grow when multiplayer eventually releases :P
Ships:
After gifting Linja game to my dad on father’s day, I fell in love with it. And I thought to myself - what if there was a digital version? There was none when I started working on the project, so I decided to give it a shot myself. Just imagine - two players face off across eight parallel lanes, calculating every shift in momentum, where one misstep can cause the opponent to leap past. A game, where you need to balance your positions and plan your moves. And, of course, have fun! Inspired by the classic board game Linja, Onlinja brings minimalist, tactical warfare straight to your pocket. Onlinja features Aggressive (one piece moves twice) and Strategic (two different pieces move) gameplay modes, smart UI, bots, and a lightweight mono-repository utilizing React Native/Expo for the frontend, plus a way to both learn the game and play with your friends, not only against highly competitive bots. This game is very portable, as it was designed to be responsive to your screen size. You can try out the Live Demo instantly at https://onlinja.domax.lt Happy playing! I hope you enjoy this game and become a fan of Onlinja yourself!
This is Onlinja, and it’s probably one of the best “easy to understand, hard to master” board games you will ever play. It’s built as a passion project, taking the game Linja as inspiration, but adapting it to be accessible anytime, anywhere! This is the second ship and it focuses entirely on making the most out of this app as possible, without making it feel janky. New additions are heavily impacted by community’s own responses to what should be improved, such as clearer indication of turns, tutorial progress saving, and a bit of my own additions, such as the Settings tab and Post-Game Statistics. While the game itself was kept true to its original core look and feel, the codebase underneath was heavily redefined! With new architecture decisions and SoC (separation of concerns) implementations, now it’s not only easy to expand the code, but easy to use in-person too! I really hope you will like this project and show much support for it. Let’s grow a beautiful and open source world together!...

The basics of the webOS are done! It is Chicago themed, and all the apps will be useful to someone who lives/is visiting Chicago.

Now, instead of each app being connected directly to localStorage, they all use the same newFile() and getFile() functions from a central file system. Each app has a dedicated folder within the system. Next up, I hope to make a music player app, with the ability to add audio files.
chicagOS- Devlog 14 I’ve added a lot more functionality to the file system. Now you can add new folders, delete folders, and rename folders. You can also drag to reorder the folders in the sidebar. I also added a custom alert/notification center, so alerts such as “cannot delete system folders,” etc will be displayed, along with any other possible notification features I might add. Next, I plan on making a music app.
chicagOS Devlog #15 - I have created the Music player app! You can upload any audio file from your computer and queue it in the playlist on the right. There is volume control, a time slider, play/pause, and skip/reverse. It will automatically load the name of the song, artist, and cover art if it is known. I originally planned on integrating this app with the existing file system, but it turns out audio files cannot be stored in localStorage so I had to scrap that idea. Currently, the playlist is just an array, which means it unfortunately does not save once the page is reloaded. But trust me, I’m going to update the file system so it can store all file types soon! I don’t really know what apps I’m going to add next, so I guess we will see where the wind takes me.
chicagOS Devlog #16 - I am still being indecisive about possibly adding a new app, so I decided to spruce up one of my simplest apps so far, Gallery. I mainly wanted to change how the photos were displayed, which wasn’t too difficult. The only real new feature I added was the ability to add custom photos, which was pretty easy because I used direct input from the computer. I also added the ability for grid view.

I don’t have any ideas for other apps to update, so if anyone has new app ideas, lmk cause I ran out days ago.
chicagOS Devlog #17 - Lots of changes! I’m wrapping up this project soon, so I am putting some final touches on the UI and making some backend changes. The file system now runs entirely using indexedDB instead of localStorage which means all file types can be saved now. The music app and gallery app have been connected to the file system. I also added a small calendar popup when you click on the time element. My biggest visual change was adding a startup screen. It was made almost entirely in CSS, and a single function in JS. I’m not sure if I’m going to add any more features before shipping, so if anyone has any suggestions lmk,
chicagOS Devlog #18 - Final devlog before shipping! Not many visual changes, as I have spent a lot of time cleaning up the code, removing unused classes from CSS, deleting temporary console.log() , removing unnecessary comments, etc. I cleaned up some animations in CSS, but other than that, none of the code has really changed. I’ve really enjoyed working on this OS project, but I’m definitely excited to start something new.
ChicagOS Devlog #19 - I’m reviving this project! I kept thinking of new things I could add to this project, so I will be starting work on this again after 2 months! The only real thing I did today was add new options for wallpapers, including this fun nighttime scene. Soon the first order of business will be getting better app icons, as currently they are just emojis, and adding a taskbar minimize.
chicagOS Devlog #20 - I have added the option to hide the taskbar, and I have also created a setting to toggle the taskbar from being on the bottom to being on the top. There are now 4 different options for the wallpaper, which I think makes the webpage even more fun! I changed some small things with the CSS, but soon I hope to add more fun small features that will make this OS even more useful.
Ships:
This is the Chicago-themed web OS I made for the WebOS 1 mission. I learned a lot about JS, HTML, and CSS. I have some experience with JS and HTML, but it is my first time using non-inline CSS, which has been fun. I had a great time designing the website and creating all of the features and apps. Some challenges included dealing with importing images, which took a very long time, and making certain UI elements look good.
chicagOS has finally reached completion! I have spent over a month working on this project, and I am really proud of what I have accomplished. While I enjoyed working on all aspects of this project, I had the most fun playing around with CSS and creating fun animated features for the OS. I am no expert in JS or CSS, so there were many learning curves associated with this project. The biggest challenge I faced was converting my file system from localStorage to indexedDB I made this change due to the limitations of localStorage, but indexedDB uses a very different framework, so I ended up needing to completely redo the code for some of my apps. I am really excited about all the new things I learned in this process, and happy to create a fun project themed around my hometown of Chicago!...

Check it out here: https://github.com/Polycarbohydrate/FGOL/releases/tag/v0.2.0 What is new? First of all, Ferris, is now in banners that surround text in the CLI! These banners surround important pieces of messages or menus. Text that is used for input will be displayed regularly. Taking into account many of the suggestions from the first ship, I added presets! There are 5 presets with this ship, and I plan to add more, which you can select to skip the hassle of setting up the simulation. These 5 were ones I found interesting and were fun to watch on the CLI. Additionally, you may notice that there are more menus now. In order to accomodate the many changes while keeping the user experience friendly, I decided to use menus instead of forcing you to follow a setup process. You are able to customize the simulation however you want! You are now able to add, remove, and view existing cells before you start the simulation! You can still edit the speed of the simulation, and choose the grid size you want. New settings include choosing when to stop the simulation (if you have an infinite loop) and stopping the simulation once cells move off of the screen. Technical changes: To make the code readable and better to edit (i don’t think a 1000 line file with repetitive text is good), I added banners.rs, which holds all of the banner/text content. Other files use the content by calling functions within banner.rs. This makes it so I can see more logic than text, which is more important with debugging. I added the type SettingsExport to hold all of the information I import into cli_display.rs . This was a suggestion from cargo clippy . As always, all code is linted using cargo clippy and formatted using cargo-fmt . All files besides core.rs were modified to accomodate changes. input.rs was changed the most. All platform binaries are still a modest file size (~100kb) Before releasing, I tested for formatting, bad input, and tried to fix everything. I something doesn’t look right, or you encounter a bug/error. Create an issue on the GitHub so I can quickly fix it. Future plans: Ship this release. Work on more features Transition to web-version.

Thank you to everyone who voted on my first ship ever! I looked throught the feedback and appreciate the support. I also appreciate the constructive feedback. I took it into consideration and applied changes. Major Changes Biggest change was the addition of preset templates. You can now choose between inputting your own cells through coordinates, or by just selecting a preset template which has hardcoded values for cells and everything else. This was done by adding presets.rs which is mainly for the hardcoded values to be fetched and stored. Additionally inputs.rs was updated and overhauled with more functions to be more readable and easier to edit. main.rs was changed to accomodate the changes in input.rs and presets.rs core.rs and cli_display.rs were not changed Bug fixes Inputting a negative number in the first step of the custom setup process would not have proper program execution. I fixed by checking for negative numbers Personal changes The program now has a dedicated exit and loops after a generation dies so you can keep on testing! Phrasing in one of the prompts in inputs.rs was changed to be more clear. Additional thoughts: I will fix up the CLI a bit more and add a few more features before moving on to TUI development. The release of the TUI will be my second ship. Eventually I plan to have this project with a GUI, TUI, CLI, and a web version. Since I am planning for the CLI to be used on low-end devices, I am going to limit the file size to 1 MB. That is 1 MB across all platform binaries. Someone suggested adding a pause feature.

I checked error handling and the spacing of text as well. Everything should be properly handled cargo-fmt & cargo clippy ran.

Today I started working on a simple game of Conway’s Game of Life. I started coding in Rust. It will be my first ever project/game of this sort and hopefully it will be fun!
Decided on data type usage (HashSet mainly for storage of cells, and HashMap to convert dead cells to alive cells.) I am sure it is very unoptimized right now. There is a big bug which I will have to fix later.
Today I had an insight to switch the initial state to a simple vertical 3 cell stack. This was to make it easier to debug since the next generations are periodic and my code should show alternating points. The simplified conditions allowed me to figure out the proper algorithm structure: Find dead cells. Calculate new alive cells. Remove the original dead cells. Generation complete Previously I was checking AND removing dead cells before finding the next generation’s alive cells. The next step is to reorganize my code, verify the results, and then convert to a GUI or TUI.
Devlog 4 Big improvements today! I finished the core algorithm and completed the first version of the inputs that a user can provide. I restructured the project with: main.rs (the file that brings everything together) inputs.rs (user input stored and returned to main.rs) core.rs (takes info from inputs.rs to calculate the next generation of cells) tui.rs (im progress; probably the hardest part. I am thinking of doing a gui using egui/eframe. If I don’t I will likely implement a grid in the terminal using a limited space (probably 100 x 100 cells for the initial version) Very good progress so far. Only thing I need to do that is important is display the cells.
Devlog 5 Big changes were made today! main.rs completed core.rs completed input.rs completed tui.rs completed By completed I mean that the program is functional (albeit, not pretty). Program is formatted to cargo-fmt and only one cargo clippy warning is left for me to address. The next step is for me to fix a bug that causes the points to be inverted when plotted (positive y becomes negative y).

I have also decided that the CLI should remain independent with no external crates.
Devlog 11 Ferris’s Game of Life (FGOL) v0.2.0 is now released! Check it out here: https://github.com/Polycarbohydrate/FGOL/releases/tag/v0.2.0 What is new? First of all, Ferris, is now in banners that surround text in the CLI! These banners surround important pieces of messages or menus. Text that is used for input will be displayed regularly. Taking into account many of the suggestions from the first ship, I added presets! There are 5 presets with this ship, and I plan to add more, which you can select to skip the hassle of setting up the simulation. These 5 were ones I found interesting and were fun to watch on the CLI. Additionally, you may notice that there are more menus now. In order to accomodate the many changes while keeping the user experience friendly, I decided to use menus instead of forcing you to follow a setup process. You are able to customize the simulation however you want! You are now able to add, remove, and view existing cells before you start the simulation! You can still edit the speed of the simulation, and choose the grid size you want. New settings include choosing when to stop the simulation (if you have an infinite loop) and stopping the simulation once cells move off of the screen. Technical changes: To make the code readable and better to edit (i don’t think a 1000 line file with repetitive text is good), I added banners.rs, which holds all of the banner/text content. Other files use the content by calling functions within banner.rs. This makes it so I can see more logic than text, which is more important with debugging. I added the type SettingsExport to hold all of the information I import into cli_display.rs . This was a suggestion from cargo clippy . As always, all code is linted using cargo clippy and formatted using cargo-fmt . All files besides core.rs were modified to accomodate changes. input.rs was changed the most. All platform binaries are still a modest file size (~100kb) Before releasing, I tested for formatting, bad input, and tried to fix everything. I something doesn’t look right, or you encounter a bug/error. Create an issue on the GitHub so I can quickly fix it. Future plans: Ship this release. Work on more features Transition to web-version. Video demo:
Ships:
Ferris’s Game of Life (FGOL) is Conway’s Game of Life written in Rust. The alive cells are indicated by the crab emoji, a nod to Ferris who is the Rust Langauge’s non-official mascot. I decided on this project because I wanted to build something real for the first time. This project allows me to implement many different features and opens up many pathways to expand on in the future. Currently the project only has a CLI version but I am planning to do a TUI, then progress to a native app UI and then a web UI.
The next major release of Ferris’s Game of Life is here! The CLI user experience has been greatly improved! Thanks to the reviewers of the first ship, I took their advice and added lots of new features! New features include: CLI display improvements -Text formatting -More standardization in code and printed output -5 preset options so you users don’t need any experience to play/watch. (plus simplier setup) -More customization for custom setup. -Settings for custom setup are all optional so do not feel obligated to fill them all out (unlike v0.1.0). Feedback from the first ship was used, so feel free to give feedback!...

The summary will stay mostly the same for any newcomers to the second ship. — SUMMARY — So basically it’s like any other chess software but it is pineapple themed(don’t worry if you don’t like the way it looks you can switch themes)! With 3 themes: Light, Dark, and Pineapple! There is a 2 player mode, if you have 2 people in front of a computer, you can play against each other on 1 computer! With an optional board flip feature! You can play against bots, powered by Stockfish, you can play against bots with different difficulties. And this time built with Javascript.

When I first started porting this, I had to learn another brand new language that I had never used, which is JavaScript(last time was Java), so it took me a while to get used to it and progress was very slow at the start. Like a lot of hours I spent on the project was not really captured by Hackatime because I was on documentation and troubleshooting a lot. A very, very big task was efficiency. JavaScript is very, very fragile. I had a lot of problems where it would always freeze and stop, which lead to phantom moves in chess and broke it a lot. Learning to code in JavaScript with this efficiency was a bit hard because I had to make sure everything was perfect and there was no holes in it. Like for example in Java, I just coded in whatever way works, and there probably was holes and leaks in that but it wouldn’t be noticeable, in JavaScript it was the complete opposite. (This is what I noticed when I coded, I don’t know if this is factual that JavaScript is very hard when coding to make sure it’s efficient, it might just be me) Another problem was when I tried putting this on GitHub Pages, because the source for it had to be like in one folder I had to rearrange my code and rewrite some parts to make it work on GitHub Pages, The last challenge I faced was stopping. This is the same as last time. I have a lot of ideas to add to this, but I realized that if I did all of it, it would be a waste of time. This includes adding a evaluation bar, game export and import, game analysis, and maybe multiplayer. Working on this is a fun side project but I don’t have the time to work on it as much right now as I have a lot of work from school, and Stardance is ending soon anyways, so I wanted to get it as polished as possible and ship it. That’s basically it. I had a lot of fun making this, it’s not much but I will add features in the future, maybe in the next Hack Club event.

For more detailed instructions, it is on the Github readme. — SHOWCASE VIDEO — Showcase video is available on the very top of the readme in the Github repo. (I wasn’t able to attach the video to this Ship post) — CHALLENGES — Here are some challenges I faced. When I first started, I had to learn a brand new language that I had never used, which is Java, so it took me a while to get used to it and progress was very slow at the start. Like a lot of hours I spent on the project was not really captured by Hackatime because I was on documentation and troubleshooting a lot. A very, very big task was app resizing. What I mean is when you resize the app, for example make it fit the entire screen, the app has to make every component scale up, or scale down with a ratio to make it look good. This took me so long to implement and it works, there is just one problem, you have to click the app after you change the window for the resize to apply, so it looks weird when you resize, but you just need to click on the app to refresh it. Hopefully I can fix that in the next update of my app. Another problem was when I tried building my app to an installer to make it as easy as possible for the user. It just never worked for a while. Like every time I tried to build it would give me a problem, and after I fixed it it just gave me another. This went on 7 times. Of the times I had to rewrite a couple major parts of my app including image loading of the pieces, it worked well in developer mode(which is just clicking the run button in VS Code), but Java kind works differently when compiled into a finished product, so the images didn’t load in a couple builds. But now it works and has a user-friendly installer. The last challenge I faced was stopping. I have a lot of ideas to add to this, but I realized that if I did all of it, it would be a waste of time. This includes multi-platform support over MacOS and Linux, not only Windows. Working on this is a fun side project but I want to do something more meaningful. So I am shipping this project right now and trying to make it as clean as possible with the current features of the app, and moving on to the next project.

So I did, yay. From Java to JavaScript The original version of Pineapple Chess was built entirely in Java, and after finishing it, I figured porting it to JavaScript would be a pretty interesting challenge. The reason why I have to use JavaScript for anyone curious is because that is one of the best for web development. The goal was to recreate the game in JavaScript while keeping the same basic gameplay and features from the original version. This meant going through the original code and rebuilding a lot of the game’s logic in a completely different language. Rebuilding the Game One of the biggest parts of the process was getting the chess logic working again. I had to recreate things like: Piece movement Check and checkmate Special chess moves Turn switching Selecting and moving pieces Detecting when the game ends Since I already had the Java version working, I wasn’t starting completely from scratch. I could use the original game as a reference for how everything was supposed to work, which made the process a lot easier. Why JavaScript? The main reason for making the JavaScript version was accessibility. The original Java version worked, but having a JavaScript version makes it much easier to run and share. Instead of needing to set up the Java version first, the JavaScript version can be used in a much more web-friendly environment. Basically, Pineapple Chess is now significantly easier to get running. And That’s a Wrap! This is actually going to be my last devlog for this event. With the event ending in about two weeks, I wanted to squeeze in one last piece of work before it wraps up, and porting Pineapple Chess to JavaScript felt like the perfect way to finish things off. I know this devlog isn’t much of a change, and there are a lot of features in Pineapple Chess that I would love to add, it’s just I don’t have the time as I have a lot of work in school, and Stardance is ending soon, I will be working on this in the future though. It’s pretty cool seeing a project that I originally made in Java now running in JavaScript. The original version isn’t going anywhere, but now Pineapple Chess has a new form too. I will be shipping this soon, stay tuned! And also, thank you to everyone who followed along with my devlogs, gave feedback, played Pineapple Chess, or suggested things for me to work on. All of the feedback and support throughout the event has genuinely been really helpful and made working on this project a lot more fun.

Title: Pineapple Chess GUI by @Theenash | Stardanc Title: Pineapple Chess GUI by @Theenash | Stardance
Devlogs:
I have started my project, most of my time was taken switching my GUI from Java Swing to JavaFX. This is just a simple window so far but we are going somewhere. This isn’t a lot but I am learning Java, so its just slow and steady progress.
I made the Chess Board
I have made my chess board render pieces, show viable moves, make moves, and only allow legal moves. Not all special moves have been added like castling, en passant, pawn promotion, stalemate, or even checkmate(you can take the opponent’s king and the opponent can still move😭).
A lot of progress has been done, I have put in all the special moves like castling, en passant, and pawn promotion. And I have also added check and checkmate detection. Also I have added UI popups that appear when you promote so you can choose what piece you want as well as the game over pop up when you checkmate and a rematch button which resets the board. So foundation of my chess game GUI is complete, I have recreated the game, I just have some small tweaks that i can do later like when you click a piece while you are in check, it still shows the viable options that don’t protect your king, but it wont let you move there but it still shows it. On top of that I also want to make the pop ups happen in game without opening a new window. But my main next step is add a move history, draw detection, which can only be done with a move history because 2 ways a draw can happen is when 50 moves have passed and a piece has not been captured, or the same position has been repeated 3 times.
BIG PROGRESS, fixed possible move highlights. added a move history to the side, and added draw detection for all possible draws. Next job is hopefully being able to export and import PGN.
added a new popup system where instead of it opening a new separate window with the popup, it is more cleaner and in the app, my next step is to add a sidebar to the left and have like a bunch of different stuff there 😄
for a very small feature, this should not have taken this long. i added 2 features, the side bar in the left for future stuff, the play button on he left allows to choose the game mode when i add the feature to be able to play bots, i want to be able to choose what I want to be able to do, either play 2 player or bots, so basically the sidebar is the foundation for future features. Then is the feature that should have taken like 10 minutes, but it took me a hour and a half. It is the feature that flips the board after every turn in 2 player mode because 2 player means 2 people are using one computer to play so the board should flip. Like it used to flip the peices were upside down, liekt he images were, and i tried to add code to make it flip but it didnt work, so then I added a seperate folder with the peices edited to be flipped, but then after implemeting that, id id some stuff it swithc the pictures to that folder only when the baord is flipped, BUT THEN IT STILL REMAINED FLIPPED. So i tried so much to finally figure out I did somehtign that amde the peices flip by themselves without editing and using the different stuff, but when i tired to remove the folder andf only use one folder wiht the peices IT STOPPED WORKING, so now I have 2 folder wiht the exact same pictures of the peices and it works😭. sry if I yapped too much but I needed to vent, In the picture attached it shows the baord flipped and the sidebar as well if you wanna see the final product of the work ive done so far. but im gieunly tweaking rn😭
A LOT OF NEW STUFF. Easiest part was dark mode yay. but what took me 3 hours and was so hard to do was reseizing, what I mean is you can resize the app how ever way and it works with any screen and it always sets the board at the center, I don’t know why it took this long but I did it yay. I have attached a example of it centering it self on multiple aspect ratios.
I have successfully added Stockfish, an chess engine that is extremely powerful to my app. Took a bit of work, but now you can play against a bot! I have added setting to customize the game against Stockfish if you click it so there’s difficulty selection and the side chooser which lets you choose which side you want to play on. Hardest part was getting the code to work with Stockfish as Stockfish communicates via the Universal Chess Interface (UCI) protocol. The chess engine itself is basically a command line and you can put in the current position and it will spit out the best move in the command line. Its not very user friendly which is why chess GUI’s come in to play like mine, my code translates it from he UI to the command line and vice versa. UCI lets me to be able to use any chess engine I want as long as it uses the UCI protocol, meaning in the future if I decide to make my own chess engine, I can implement it to my app, but for now it will remain as Stockfish.
This for some reason genuinely took the life out of me. I have finally added the whole point of this chess app, PINEAPPLES! NEW BOARD COLOR, NEW UI THEME, NEW CHESS PEICES. Don’t worry, if you or any other user doesn’t like it, I have added the ability in settings to be able to switch between Light, Dark, and Pineapple Mode. But why would you not want to play with this beauty! The addition of the theme was easy, it was the settings that your able to switch themes that was the hard part. On top of that since I added new chess pieces, the entirety of the image load system in my code and organization of the resources in the source code had to be completely redone, the re-organizing for the file management was not tracked by hackatime but that took way too long. But yea, yay🎉🎉🎉
I WAS SANE BEFORE TODAY😭😭😭. I have done it, I have finished my app. That part was so easy. But compiling it into a downloadable installer has cost me so much I might as well have sold my soul. I had to build the stupid thing 7 TIMES.

Sadly this installer is only for windows, sorry Mac and Linux. I will be shipping this project soon. As you can see in the pictures attached, it created the shortcut! And it works!🎉🎉🎉

Ships:
I made a chess software called Pineapple Chess. — SUMMARY — So basically it’s like any other chess software but it is pineapple themed(don’t worry if you don’t like the way it looks you can switch themes)! With 3 themes: Light, Dark, and Pineapple! There is a 2 player mode, if you have 2 people in front of a computer, you can play against each other on 1 computer! With an optional board flip feature! You can play against bots, powered by Stockfish, you can play against bots with different difficulties. And built with Java. — LINKS — Github: https://github.com/Shadowtech1234/pineapplechess/ If you want to download, simply go to the Github repo, and go to the releases tab and download it! For more detailed instructions, it is on the Github readme. — SHOWCASE VIDEO — Showcase video is available on the very top of the readme in the Github repo. (I wasn’t able to attach the video to this Ship post) — CHALLENGES — Here are some challenges I faced. When I first started, I had to learn a brand new language that I had never used, which is Java, so it took me a while to get used to it and progress was very slow at the start. Like a lot of hours I spent on the project was not really captured by Hackatime because I was on documentation and troubleshooting a lot. A very, very big task was app resizing. What I mean is when you resize the app, for example make it fit the entire screen, the app has to make every component scale up, or scale down with a ratio to make it look good. This took me so long to implement and it works, there is just one problem, you have to click the app after you change the window for the resize to apply, so it looks weird when you resize, but you just need to click on the app to refresh it. Hopefully I can fix that in the next update of my app. Another problem was when I tried building my app to an installer to make it as easy as possible for the user. It just never worked for a while. Like every time I tried to build it would give me a problem, and after I fixed it it just gave me another. This went on 7 times. Of the times I had to rewrite a couple major parts of my app including image loading of the pieces, it worked well in developer mode(which is just clicking the run button in VS Code), but Java kind works differently when compiled into a finished product, so the images didn’t load in a couple builds. But now it works and has a user-friendly installer. The last challenge I faced was stopping. I have a lot of ideas to add to this, but I realized that if I did all of it, it would be a waste of time. This includes multi-platform support over MacOS and Linux, not only Windows. Working on this is a fun side project but I want to do something more meaningful. So I am shipping this project right now and trying to make it as clean as possible with the current features of the app, and moving on to the next project. I will still be working on this project, but I will probably come back to it after summer ends or ever later. That’s basically it. I had a lot of fun making the app, it’s not much but I will add features in the future. Thank you!
I made a chess software called Pineapple Chess, this is my second ship on this project, this ship is the major change of porting it to the web. The summary will stay mostly the same for any newcomers to the second ship. — SUMMARY — So basically it’s like any other chess software but it is pineapple themed(don’t worry if you don’t like the way it looks you can switch themes)! With 3 themes: Light, Dark, and Pineapple! There is a 2 player mode, if you have 2 people in front of a computer, you can play against each other on 1 computer! With an optional board flip feature! You can play against bots, powered by Stockfish, you can play against bots with different difficulties. And this time built with Javascript. Basically the original version was made in Java, but in the last ship, I got a lot of feedback saying I should port this to the web, so I did! — LINKS — To Play on web: Play now: https://shadowtech1234.github.io/pineapplechess/ — CHALLENGES — Here are some challenges I faced. When I first started porting this, I had to learn another brand new language that I had never used, which is JavaScript(last time was Java), so it took me a while to get used to it and progress was very slow at the start. Like a lot of hours I spent on the project was not really captured by Hackatime because I was on documentation and troubleshooting a lot. A very, very big task was efficiency. JavaScript is very, very fragile. I had a lot of problems where it would always freeze and stop, which lead to phantom moves in chess and broke it a lot. Learning to code in JavaScript with this efficiency was a bit hard because I had to make sure everything was perfect and there was no holes in it. Like for example in Java, I just coded in whatever way works, and there probably was holes and leaks in that but it wouldn’t be noticeable, in JavaScript it was the complete opposite. (This is what I noticed when I coded, I don’t know if this is factual that JavaScript is very hard when coding to make sure it’s efficient, it might just be me) Another problem was when I tried putting this on GitHub Pages, because the source for it had to be like in one folder I had to rearrange my code and rewrite some parts to make it work on GitHub Pages, The last challenge I faced was stopping. This is the same as last time. I have a lot of ideas to add to this, but I realized that if I did all of it, it would be a waste of time. This includes adding a evaluation bar, game export and import, game analysis, and maybe multiplayer. Working on this is a fun side project but I don’t have the time to work on it as much right now as I have a lot of work from school, and Stardance is ending soon anyways, so I wanted to get it as polished as possible and ship it. That’s basically it. I had a lot of fun making this, it’s not much but I will add features in the future, maybe in the next Hack Club event. Thank you!...

Made some changes to how the mod works Now the mod has two modes if you want instant return then you have to enable immediate_respawn game rule or else you will get the death screen telling you to return by death there are now sfx added to the mod ////Rant tell me why the hell does minecraft have 2 distinct playsound methods one in server and one in client??? only the client one playes the sound, the server one seemed to nothig and there is no java docs suggesting to use the one over the other and when to use what I spent 1 hour 30 mins trying to figure this out and then had to resort to asking in the fabric server for help luckly the community was extreamly helpfull and I fixed the issue as for the reason why its done this way: the server method is actually the main method but it does not play the sound for the sender, since its assuemed that the sender could be code or a thing that can’t hear sound the same method in serverlevel which you get by senderPlayer.level().playSound( @nullable except entity, source entity, SoundEvent, soundevent, SoundCategory soundCategory); calles two method, one for the sender since we know its the player ( this is a client method in LocalPlayer which extends the AbstractClientPlayer ) and the normal server method which runs for everyone except the sender this is all fine but tell me why is this not documented well now it is
Added a good Demo video to the Readme Rant (kinda) Turns out once I ship a project, devlogs after it are not recorded at all, even if they ask me to fix something. but the ship will show the second devlogs time to you only.
