Devlog 1 Iāve written a FEN parser. FEN (Forsyth-Edwards Notation) is a way of representing a chess board in one line of ASCII characters.

My next step is to fix this and a few other minor bugs, and then we should be off to the races!
Devlog 3 A couple bug fixes. This oneās more minor, so Iāll keep it short.

Devlog 9: The unnecessary one Stardance doesnāt want me to ship again without logging my 48 minutes, so hereās a brief summary: I removed some old code, changed the pawns_in_center heuristic to be more drastic, and made the TUI display how much time the engine took to move.

#1 devlog Today I started making my own WebOS using the tutorial. There was nothing new to me but had fun with playing the elements. I donāt have any special plans for this project but hopefully I end making something (at least little bit) useful.
#2 devlog Part 2 done. I decided that my WebOS will be CapyOS so more of capybaras coming. Iām very happy with the navbar I made and Iāll update it later. I think it already looks really cool.
#3 devlog Working on my WebOS. Today I completed part 3 which means that the welcome window is closeable and openable. I hope to finish WebOS 1 soon. Looking forward to make a new app next time :)
#4 devlog I think Iāve completed part 5 now. I still have to finish readme and deploy this and the ship. This will actually be my first ship!! Iāve already planned things to do in WebOS 2 (and I actually started doing them). The new app I created in part 5 is link app because I often forget important websites and the app is a place to store links for those sites.
#5 devlog The final site (after webos 1). Iām going to ship it now!
#6 devlog, webOS 2 Some updates A new app: a gallery for viewing cute capybara photos Full screen button works now, it aligns the window perfectly every time now. (It required actually only 2 new lines in to script!) A new scrollbar in the app menu with a green theme. I added extra icons so that the scrollbar can be tested
#7 devlog Probably the last devlog for this project. CapyOS is now ready for shipping. Sorry for last devlog, I just wanāt to get these hours logged. The last feature I added was a timer. Its icon is, of course, caybara-themed.
Ships:
Here is my project for WebOS 1: CapyOS. A capybara themed WebOs using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. Capybaras are cute chill guys. So why not to make a capybara themed WebOS? This isnāt supposed to be a very serious project. I took the right to make it kinda silly. But at the same time itās an actual web app and you could go to play around with it right now (link: https://vilp357.github.io/WebOS-Stardance/ )! Itān not very complex yet, but Iāve planned to continue to WebOS 2 mission to finish what Iāve started (nothing is stopping me, hahaa). My own features: scrollable app menu (when it has more icons itās actually scrollable). I donāt like my desktop being covered in icons, so this way icons will stay on the left side forever. fullscreen button. This one works best when there is only one window. Otherwise it might work, letās say, in a different way. Before starting this project I was already familiar with HTML and CSS, but I wasnāt that familiar with plain JavaScript. I think that I learned most about coding webpages with JavaScript and I feel confident continuing to WebOS 2.
CapyOS This is just a silly project made just for fun! CapyOS is a capybara-themed web operating system. I followed WebOS 1 mission to build core features and for WebOS 2 I added 2 new apps, fixed full screen mode and made app menu scrollable. I also did some polishing for the UI and added āclear windowsā -button. This was my first time building a website with pure html, javascript and css for a long time. I had a lot of fun designing while adding all those capybaras you will find when you test it! I accidentally used over 7hr with mission 1 because I had so much fun and I love to adjust small things little bit better. Also because this project was made just for fun, I didnāt have much pressure to make this āgoodā or āseriousā. Itās still 100% (hopefully) working. Have fun while testing! More details in readme....

People who are planning on playing this should know that donāt expect anything insane. This game doesnāt take very long to complete. I would say around 5-10 min, depending on the person. Anyways, enjoy!
I made an update to my game called āSoulfulā. Itās a game about a soul sent to earth to defeat a corrupted soul who is trying to take over the world. This update mainly features bug fixes and big improvements to the game. The most challenging part was to get the systems to feel right. I am most proud of the outcome of everything and very happy about doing these fixes. People who plan on playing it should know that in the end there is also a cutscene when you finish the game. Also note that the game bosses are quite wonky and being able to save inside the arena and also heal is a feature ;). Anyways have fun!...

Regardless, it works really great based on my tests with the caveat that if you update the draft settings, you may need to refresh once or twice to ensure theyāre updated on ffdrafter. Once youāre in the draft, the main thing you do is simply check back in and view suggestions on the side panel, manually logging picks is disabled since youāre doing that on Sleeper anyway! Another unfortunate caveat is that syncs do take a little bit(5-7 seconds) when others are auto-drafting and when the draft first starts. These are unfortunate side effects, but again they arenāt in my control as I donāt know how often Sleeper updates and sends drafts responses back.

Devlogs:
Devlog #1 This is the start of a fantasy football draft assistant project Iām working on. Currently, it doesnāt do much as most of the time was spent on gathering data for the three main scoring types: PPR, Half-PPR, and Standard, along with the player database from Sleeper. The plan is to eventually find an algorithm to calculate expected value for each player based on different data points: your draft position, current draft pick, player data in general, along with other external factors such as current roster. Also Iām only working on the manual mode right now where all picks have to be manually put in but since Sleeper has a free API(used for player data), I hope to eventually add a seamless integration where it can directly link to a Sleeper League. Provided below is the starter UI menu but will be changed over time as more features are added.
Devlog #2 Well, the initial part of the project is completed. There is now a value calculation algorithm in place that ranks each player based on a number of metrics: current draft pick, player ranking, bye week, and roster needs. After that, it gives 8 suggested players in the menu, ranked by points, and also gives warnings about possible reaches and the current pick, but also symbols that could signify a steal at the current pick. Additional testing will be conducted in regards to how well the system seems to be working by simulating a separate mock draft with online resources. My next plan after this, if the system is working correctly, is to connect it seamlessly with Sleeper, as stated in Devlog #1. Attached is how the user interface currently looks after starting the draft.
Devlog #3 So unfortunately, I wasnāt able to connect to Sleeper API, because I was busy updating the value algorithm to make it sure it worked well. Earlier, it was favoring positions too much and wasnāt realizing that starters matter more than bench. I think Iāve found the perfect medium between balancing both maximizing starting talent and a decent bench lineup. I expect to ship within the next few days once I upload a live link and maybe add a feature to differentiate between snake and linear draft along with adding more position customization perhaps. Other than that, this project will probably ship with just a manual mode at first, and then have another ship with Sleeper API connected to it. Attached is a sample of how the UI looks when updating draft picks based on whatās going on in.
Devlog #4 This devlog is the last before the first ship as the site is now officially live! The only change made between this log and the last is that you can choose whether you have a snake or linear draft. Other than that, hosting is being done through Render(hopefully an accepted hosting platform) and the link is officially live at: https://fantasy-football-drafter.onrender.com/ . Attached is how the menu looks now that you can choose draft type.
Devlog #5 So I was recently about to ship but it got recalled because I used Claude to do the whole UI and never touched up on it again, which is my fault completely. However, since then I have actually updated the entire UI by adding modular sections and more color by position points. It has the same dark tone as before, but thereās a new purple accent now to make it less generic. Along with that, every position is basically customized by itās own unique color as well, providing a connection beyond text. Other than that, text was made bigger, and font colors were made lighter to make them pop out more against the dark background. Attached is how the starting page looks like now.
Devlog #6 A few more style updates have occurred since my last log. First, the font has changes to be a little more fancy, if thatās what you want to call it, but I think it looks nice for the site itself. Along with that depending on if youāre searching, seeing suggestions, or viewing top talent, different info appears when you click on the player. The commonality is showing the team logo and their tier. But when searching it only shows the top reason, when seeing suggestions it gives age and top 2 reasons, and viewing top talent also shows age along with position(jersey number). Other than that itās still basically the same since functionality wise, nothing really changed. I hope to start implement the direct Sleeper API integration along with other sites if possible including ESPN and Yahoo Fantasy.
Devlog #7 Sleeper API integration is finally here! This took a while to get out, but Iām so happy that itās finally here! The main limitation is that itās based on draft ID, so it might be a hassle to find. However, I canāt control that as Sleeper is read-only API, which means I canāt allow for people to sign in and then access leagues and mock drafts that way. Regardless, it works really great based on my tests with the caveat that if you update the draft settings, you may need to refresh once or twice to ensure theyāre updated on ffdrafter. Once youāre in the draft, the main thing you do is simply check back in and view suggestions on the side panel, manually logging picks is disabled since youāre doing that on Sleeper anyway! Another unfortunate caveat is that syncs do take a little bit(5-7 seconds) when others are auto-drafting and when the draft first starts. These are unfortunate side effects, but again they arenāt in my control as I donāt know how often Sleeper updates and sends drafts responses back. Yet, the feature still works even if it does take a small amount of time, so hope it works for anyone who uses it. Attaches is the UI for how the user inputs the Sleeper Draft ID.
Ships:
My project is a fantasy football draft assistant which gives you suggestions on who to draft based on the current state of the draft and the players themselves. The most challenging part of this was finding the right medium within the calculation algorithm. It was difficult figuring out how to suggest great players at a position youāve already drafted but I think Iāve found the right medium now. Iām most proud of the fact that I was able to power through that exact struggle and be able to ship now that the right algorithm is, hopefully, in place. The link is live being hosted through Render. One thing to note with Render is that if there is slight inactivity, you may have to wait 40-60 seconds for it to load for the first time, but after it loads, there shouldnāt be any other hiccups. Enjoy!
My project is Fantasy Football draft assistant which will give you pick suggestions during your Fantasy Draft. The purpose of this second ship is because Sleeper draft integration is here! Following the usage instructions from my GitHub README, you can try out this new feature yourself. The hardest about this new feature was figuring out why it took so long to sync and finding a way to minimize this lag. However, I am proud that, despite a small lag, it still works and is able to quickly gather your Sleeper draft info. One thing to note when using this feature, my app only supports certain positions so adding unique FLEX positions that isnāt the standard WR/RB/TE, will not work. Another thing to note is that this is unfortunately not mobile friendly, but let me know through reviews if this is a wanted feature. Enjoy!...

Finally got a hang of html, and JS! Curently was able to build the basic framework of the onboarding window, and the top bar of SkyOS. I also put a stock image of a Soutwest 737-800 as the background, as it appropriately fits the theme of SkyOS.
After a bit of struggle getting the formatting of the elements of SkyOS to work properly, I have finally finished my first app! I call it FlightLog, which is a place to type anything you want, and save it. It works similar to Windows 11ās NotePad application, but simpler.
At the time of making this devlog it is 12:14am. I am lwk exhausted, but just finished building my second, and so far most complicated app for SkyOS (in terms of the logic). It is a simple but functional Stopwatch cleverly called āChronoā. I also want to mention ~1 hour out of the 3 hours logged in the second devlog, was spent building the chrono app
Finished creating the wallpapers app, to switch the background to 3 different images, a Boeing 777, Airbus a350, or F-22.
I have finally finished making the ACP (Audio Control Panel) app for SkyOS! It features 3 songs from msfs2020 and fsx, and features a song time display, and controls to skip and go back a track, and a play/pause button ofc.
I have added a new feature for SkyOS! Using Meteomaticās Open Meteo API, I was able to implement a weather widget in the top right corner of the desktop workspace, so you can see the current temperature in the area you are currently in.
After a little bit of playing around with js and getting some help from online tutorials, I was able to create a workspace system, similarly found on most operating systems like Windows 11 or most Linux distros. You can use this for multitasking and can have up to 5 workspaces open at once with different apps opened in each one, without fear of them closing when switching desktops!
My 3rd feature added to SkyOS is a nice little flight radar widget found at the bottom right corner of the desktop. I utilized the OpenSky API to display the number of aircraft in your area, and the callsign and altitude of the closest plane to your location.

I am beginner to coding and this is my barebones OS so far
did some stuff but i accidently did the guide wrong so i am stuck in a rabbit hole following through the guide and having tot ake alternate path because i messed up on soemthing about the welcome screen i didnt knwo the author made some new one so i tried to use the welcome screen i already made in the introductiona nd then they started using div classes but it was hard tof ollow because one part they showed normal code and then the next was a bunch of new stuff and then they remvoed it to put in styles.css idk y it wasnt stated but maybe i follwoed hte guide wrong
finally finished it the one new feature is a restart btuton which is just reshign the page but anyways lesson of the story i learned is to find the thin you are itnerested in because i didnt like this very much and it took a while consdiering that hte time for this mission woudl take around 2 hours 30 mins and i spent like 7 but i hope to find soemthign related to here on here that is something i would be passionate baout but hey the final projduct isnt that bad and i hope things going forward will be mroe smooth sialign since this is pretty much my first real projekzs tjcreated in hthos platforkm so i hope to find that thign i am interested in on here to continue pursuing and others should see what they would like on here to focus on anyways good luck to evyerhting and everyone
Fixed/organized many parts of code by changing into classes. Worked on and added 2 new features which are a loading screen and background changer app
Created my wariogame app and included a playable game embed link into the OS luckily Itch io included embed links hwne you go to distribute in the options
Ships:
a website about cars. Understanding classes learning html css and making the desktop icons, and draggable windows were challenging. Classes especially were challenging.
Created an embed game of the game I created during the Warioware mission to put into an app that is playable thanks to Itch.io features. Created background/wallpaper changer app, and a simple 3 seocnd laoding screen when entering the OS. What was challenging was coming upw ith new ideas to expand on the WebOS 1 when I started and having to work around my messy code. I had to use AI help with parts of debugging because the code was all over the place it is like 100 something lines that could be turned into probably less than half but point is I was able to proceed and work around it....

I am proud of the consistency and quality of the code I wrote. I feel proud to have made this section, and hope that by shipping (and hopefully the community receiving it well) I will be able to continue forwards to finishing the IR and code gen. Since there isnāt a best way to use a programming language, I suggest both installing the npm package and the vscode extension (search āKatnipā in the store).

Genuinely super cool. This new bout of progress that led to end-to-end compilation has given me so much motivation. Enums So, this already existed. But I realized that they are so much more than just a way to create states to check against, or store values in. Ever since I allowed scalar values to be the represenation of enum members, this has become more powerful than I realized. The key was implementing the type interpretation of an enum. I already was kind of doing this, but when you have an input param for a function, you can assign a type of enum FlowerType for instance. So the input only accepts FlowerType.x where x is the type. But thats long. Look at a function call: sniff(FlowerType.DAFFODIL, backup = FlowerType.ROSE); Instead, I like what typescript does with its discriminant types, allowing a type to represent a set of possible values. So, it was born. sniff(\"daffodil\", backup = \"rose\"); In order to use this, just assign values to your enum: enum FlowerType { DAFFODIL = \"daffodil\", ROSE = \"rose\", ... } STDLib improvements Prior, a lot of stuff including type casting was a mess. I just recently got this up and running, so it was hard to even try to think about this. Scratch only has a few types: round and angled and block. Thats it. And types really only apply to round/angled. So I implemented small blocks that allow scratchās oddities and allow you to tell the compiler to āshut upā. Want to get the string of a bool? No problem. looks.say( Str(var == 2) + \"apple\") And many many other use cases.

Hereās a small overview of whatās been done in the last two weeks (nah who am I kidding its all last night, I havenāt touched this in a bit) Procedures Katnip is scratch. Kinda. It transpiles to scratch. So it needs procedures. I took a giant bite out of the huge problem that is procedures. It is very complex to try and emulate a return system in a program that just doesnāt support it. Having taken a DSA class, this was a problem that I took to paper, and got the following solution: Stacks are beautiful. Let me elaborate. A stack is a structure that follows FiLo , or first-in, last-out . This is super important for returning from procedures, when considering the fact that a single variable will not be enough for systems when/if the function recurses. So this way, you push and pop on the stack to keep the order, and all return values are kept track of nicely! Mangled vars. Scope is a really hard concept to grasp, but even harder to emulate in a non-scoped language. For the most part, I want to keep Scratchās inherent scope-less design, in the sense that variables can exist in similar ways. But I do want scopes. So I take back the before-last sentence. To do this, I mangle vars, allowing scopes to exist, multiple instances of the same code to run, and to have variables not collide. For loops A smaller sections, but still cool.

Itās pretty naive actually. The better alternative way is to use a stack, in which you push and pop from it.

2. Building Semantic Analysis This will be shorter, since most of what I say is better just written in code. The main idea is two passes: Hoist Bring procedures to the top to allow forward references. I explain why I did so above. Visit Acctually go through and validate. This is the main core bit of the semantic analysis portion. I am a little stuck at a desgin fork. Should I allow scripts inside no āSpriteā Scope to be there? Or should I force them into the Stage. Or do I error? Scratch-like behaviors tell me that it should go to stage, but that feels tacky and wrong. Can functions be public? I think so. Canāt be temp.

The space should be reserved for imports, functions, global stuff. Overall, I worked on building semantic analysis, at least the basic parts. I added variable decleration handling in scopes, and all of expressionstatement parsing.
Finished phase 1 of the Semantic Analysis Implemented Scope-Analysis checks. It can correctly identify and point out issues with scopes. It understands a variety of different scopes, from for-loops to functions to Sprites. Also added support for switch-statements. Importantly, I chose to force only 1 default, and force it to be only at the end. I also implemented true and false as a new Boolean primitive type, alongside a true return statement
Almost completed phase 2 of the Semantic Analysis Today I built a wide variety of things. But 3 specific features. visit(node: StatementNode): void This function parses all of my nodes. It covers variable assignment, sprite declaration, etc etc. It has many jobs, including entering scopes, declaring bodies, and following each AST-node stack recursively. Some are left stubbed out, as I spent most of my time on #2: inferType(expression: ExpressionNode): InternalType This function is ~200loc. It covers a wide variety of cases, all pertaining to the type inference of an expression AST. It not only infers the type, but recursively builds an internal model of what the user has written.

And lots and lots and lots of error statements. InternalTypes itself I built a system that stores the type state, with a few extra helper functions: isAssignable and typeToString. The former recursively traces both types and ensures total match. This means that a variable of type to could be assigned to a value of type from . The latter is just a pretty-print function for pretty errors to see what types were being looked at/expected at certain parts of the code.
Phase 2 complete (plus a lil extra) Phase 2 Function overloads This was an interesting task to take on. I had to first figure out how to match a functionās signiture to its call. I couldnāt simply check if a signiture existed or not, I had to check which variation it satisfied. This involved reworking the way I stored signitures, and allowed a single object to hold them all for a certain function name. This way, it was a lot cleaner and put together.

Every 300ms or so, it updates, and tells the user where the errors are, just like any other language supported in text editors.
Getting ready! Getting ready to ship the semantic analysis. General config stuff, npm registry, vsc ext, open vsx, all those fun things. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@katnip-org/compiler https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Katnip-org.katnip-vscode https://open-vsx.org/extension/Katnip-org/katnip-vscode
Bugfixes + webprep This will be a shorter devlog, because, though there is a lot of time logged, much of this was just troubleshooting the few things I was adding. Bugfixes: In the lexer, there existed some issues with my fsm, and the way I processed escaped characters Added some protections in the parser instead of semantic analysis so enforcement was throurough and non-manual Webprep: Removed external dependencies that only npm could run.

Project depth increase Retrospectively, this probably shouldāve been multiple seperate posts. But I forgot. Again. Return statements For compiling to scratch, a variety of different appracohes have been done. Personally, these fall under a few distinct approaches: variable and list. Variable is simply setting a variable to the output, whereas a list is just a stack following LiFo rules. A variable should be used for single value, non-recursive functions.

Be horrible to implement So I wrote a typescript file that takes care of the json metadata, allowing only rudamentry tags and opcode to be stored in Katnip portion.

It was very crucial to implement this, personally, because I use this type of feature (self-implemented, each time) in scratch. It always felt like a thing that I needed. I was torn between strided and parallel list storage for the pieces of it. Strided was cool, and was more efficient with space and project list bloat, but in the end parallel lists were just SO much cleaner.
The light I can see itā¦ (what is it?) ā¦ the light at the end of the tunnelā¦ (what are you talking about?) .. its almost here Yea no it aināt Though the project isnāt done, I will admit I am nearing the closing moments of the IR stage, with only 1 last hurdle to overcome before I can transpile projects beginning -> end . Hereās a small overview of whatās been done in the last two weeks (nah who am I kidding its all last night, I havenāt touched this in a bit) Procedures Katnip is scratch. Kinda. It transpiles to scratch. So it needs procedures. I took a giant bite out of the huge problem that is procedures. It is very complex to try and emulate a return system in a program that just doesnāt support it. Having taken a DSA class, this was a problem that I took to paper, and got the following solution: Stacks are beautiful. Let me elaborate. A stack is a structure that follows FiLo , or first-in, last-out . This is super important for returning from procedures, when considering the fact that a single variable will not be enough for systems when/if the function recurses. So this way, you push and pop on the stack to keep the order, and all return values are kept track of nicely! Mangled vars. Scope is a really hard concept to grasp, but even harder to emulate in a non-scoped language. For the most part, I want to keep Scratchās inherent scope-less design, in the sense that variables can exist in similar ways. But I do want scopes. So I take back the before-last sentence. To do this, I mangle vars, allowing scopes to exist, multiple instances of the same code to run, and to have variables not collide. For loops A smaller sections, but still cool. A for loop in scratch is a hiddenābut supportedāblock. You can only iterate a variable, lets call it x , from 1..y inclusive, where y is the max range. So for lists, this means lowering this: for (x, myList) { looks.say(x); } into this: for (x, listLength(myList)) { x = myList[x]; looks.say(x); } Additionally, if doing a range function like this: for (x, range(4, 10, 2)) { looks.say(x); } it lowers into this: for (x, 3) { x = x * 2 + 4; looks.say(x); }
Holy Guacamole Iām So Excited Insane progress over the past few days has occurred, in large part due to my travels on train, and my apparent ability to lock in when I start seeing things. Codegen Probably the most recognizable part of the project, Katnip can now generate scratch code. Blocks are being made, and complex patterns written in the IR are finally revealing themselves. It is so important that you look at the pictures, as the improvements made here are hard to put into words. Writing this part was arguably the most fun part of the entire project. This part was more scratch-like than any other part so far (āwell duh, its the closest stageā you might be saying. And youād be right.) IR Writing a majority did not come without its need for the IR to step up its game. I was quite fed up with 0 visual progress, so I jumped to codegen to boost my morale for the improvements made to the IR. This includes dict and list slicing, and a proper handling of booleans. Iām so excited
Cooking up straight peak Great new features. Genuinely super cool. This new bout of progress that led to end-to-end compilation has given me so much motivation. Enums So, this already existed. But I realized that they are so much more than just a way to create states to check against, or store values in. Ever since I allowed scalar values to be the represenation of enum members, this has become more powerful than I realized. The key was implementing the type interpretation of an enum. I already was kind of doing this, but when you have an input param for a function, you can assign a type of enum FlowerType for instance. So the input only accepts FlowerType.x where x is the type. But thats long. Look at a function call: sniff(FlowerType.DAFFODIL, backup = FlowerType.ROSE); Instead, I like what typescript does with its discriminant types, allowing a type to represent a set of possible values. So, it was born. sniff("daffodil", backup = "rose"); In order to use this, just assign values to your enum: enum FlowerType { DAFFODIL = "daffodil", ROSE = "rose", ... } STDLib improvements Prior, a lot of stuff including type casting was a mess. I just recently got this up and running, so it was hard to even try to think about this. Scratch only has a few types: round and angled and block. Thats it. And types really only apply to round/angled. So I implemented small blocks that allow scratchās oddities and allow you to tell the compiler to āshut upā. Want to get the string of a bool? No problem. looks.say( Str(var == 2) + "apple") And many many other use cases. Made some marginal improvements to the CLI to allow parsing Made some commands to run with command pallete for the vscode ext
Yikes. So this is a step I didnāt really want to take. I had to take away a part of the language that I always wanted to exist. The existence of the temp keyword. I mean this thing was literally covering my demos and other scripts in the docs and whatnot. But alas, it was not properly implemented, and I have no forseeable good solution to working it out. So its removed for the time being. Brighter note On the flipside, I did finalize and fully implement zip , enumerate , and range ! These functions now properly parse the list arguments and let tuple unpacking do its amazing goodness.
Katnip GUI!!! Ahhhh im so excited. Iām building the gui for Katnip right nowābuilt off a small foundation done by a friend. Currently repo is private, but Iāll open it once my computerās not about to die and Iām on stable internet. Worked on the following things: Re-binding TextMate grammar tokens File editor popup TurboWarp scaffolding library for the running Pulling in my compiler through npm for compilation
Fleshing out the GUI Finally got a working prototype! Check it out at https://katnip.org Components added: Stage This was honestly a pretty hard part of the process. I am using tw-scaffolding, the core vm from TurboWarp. But it has no types, no docs, and the docs that exist are outdated. So I resorted to having Claude make a .d.ts file for me so I could fuzz my way through instead. This process wasnāt that bad once the functions were clear, and I hooked it up to my compilerāintentionally designed to output Uint8Array. Toolbar This was fun since I donāt know svelte yet that well. I had a state originally stored in my state.svelte.ts, but I figure out I could refactor and not need it. Then I just did some vm tomfoolery to ensure the threads stay open on pausing, and it was good to go. Terminal This is a super rudamentry approach. I plan to have an input method at some point, but we will see. Hopefully I implement a better technique, currently I just have a string array storing the logs. Makes it easy to make it stateful in svelte ig
Costumes + Sounds! Finally, after a long time of putting this off, Katnip finally has syntax to import sounds and assets to use for your projects! stage { costume "./sky.svg"; events.onFlag() { looks.switchBackdrop("sky"); } } sprite Cat { costume "./cat.svg" as idle; costume "./cat-blink.svg" as blink; sound "./meow.wav"; events.onFlag() { motion.goTo(-100, 0); looks.switchCostume("idle"); looks.say("costumes + sounds work", 2); forever { wait(0.5); looks.nextCostume(); } } } Changelog Compiler changes Added costume and sound keywords Added stage keyword for stage override (previously auto-genād) Added forever keyword (cuz I forgot to add it somehow) Website changes Added upload icon for uploading files Added support for the new costume and sound required fs callbacks Added ārenameā in dropdown right-click context Notes Not sure how the forever block and rename button took this long to add, both seem like something I couldāve adressed earlier, butābetter late than never :P
Sigma Peak Editor Frfr The editor is turning out beautifully . Like I love it so far. Tons and tons of improvements to mainly the editor, but a few pivotal improvements to the compiler itself. Website / GUI Improvements File uploads ā no longer are your costumes handwritten svgs :P AND you can import .knip files! QOL improvements ā draggable files, auto-focus editor on openning of website Terminal prettification STAGE BUTTONS! ā start / pause / stop + TurboMode Flag functionality rework click => compile + run shift+click => run without compiling Settings file actually does something Compiler improvements Costumes implementation (new syntax!) Forever block + more math blocks! Zip compression level compiler flag
Ships:
I made the semantic analysis portion to a custom coding language for scratch. It aims to bridge the gap for kids between code blocks and real scripting. It has full type safety, and a variety of different language components, creating a rich and immersive transition from scratch into the real world of programming. It has both simple syntax but also allows a high skill ceiling with more complex syntax. I struggled a lot, spending hours on end chatting with programmers I am friends with, crafting a lot of these language decisions in late night chats. Every single step has been deliberately taken. I am proud of the consistency and quality of the code I wrote. I feel proud to have made this section, and hope that by shipping (and hopefully the community receiving it well) I will be able to continue forwards to finishing the IR and code gen. Since there isnāt a best way to use a programming language, I suggest both installing the npm package and the vscode extension (search āKatnipā in the store). This will give you in-editor syntax highlighting and typechecking. Feel free to use the cli for lexing, parsing, and type checking.
Katnip. For real this time. From text -> blocks. It now exists. Fully type-checked. Powerful enums. Function returns. And it all compiles into scratch. Over the past 36 hours I have worked on making the IR and Codegen layers come to life. From working with stacks, and other more complex algorithms, hoisting, scopes, and everything in between, It now compiles. Katnip is a language designed to not just be a surragate for scratch syntax, its supposed to fix it, and offer a scripting alternative. Gone are the days of wrong data types, debugging random lines, Katnip can do that for you. Types and bugs are well defined, and easy to find. To use this project, I currently do not have a website, but install it through NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@katnip-org/compiler npm i @katnip-org/compiler Happy coding :P...

What was challenging? What are you proud of? I updated my multiplayer game where interesting geometrical shapes fight each other to dominate the world of maths called Geomatrix. It is built fully in C++ with ENet being used for the client-server communication over UDP and Raylib being used to display graphics on the client side. In Geomatrix different shapes have their own strengths and weaknesses and players have to leverage them in the best way possible so they can win. It was quite challenging trying to stay consistent and not get overwhelmed by the loads of things I could add to the game as my time is limited and I easily ended up in a rabbit-hole about AI models that could play my game, which I didnāt end up making. I am proud that even though I wouldnāt say this is the most sophisticated piece of software, I would say itās pretty rudimentary compared to other games but Iāve come to expect reliability and modularity from it, which really came in handy when adding the maps and shapes. Even though there were some minor bugs here and there with the new maps and shapes at the beginning, it all ended up working with very small tweaks.

Test the server side movement functionality
Iāve implemented shooting and health in the game. Next I have to add a reload and ammo count. After that I could start to focus onto implementing some interpolation in the player and bulletās movement to make it move at 144FPS not at the 30Hz tick rate of the server.
Iāve implemented a āfog of warā so the server only sends to the player the data about the other players that they can actually see. I made the camera follow the current player. The game now uses interpolation to smooth out the data packets coming from the server, so players can enjoy smoother gameplay. Also the tick rate was increased to 69Hz. The network packets are now dynamic, they do not have a fixed size, this saves network bandwidth. What I wanna do next: create some basic UI; create a basic game over screen; introduce new shapes as playable ācharactersā; maybe introduce a trophy system
Now users can resize the window and the game scales perfectly. There is now a main menu and a game over screen is in the works.
Added a title screen, lobby waiting screen and a game over screen
Introduced a new tech inspired design into the game. Now players that are in a ābushā get invisible. Made the game modular and added support for multiple maps on the server side. P.S.: In Hackatime I have 54 hours logged on this project, 8 more than Stardance logged, this discrepancy appeared 2-3 devlogs ago and I asked on the stardance-help chat about it, but I got no response.
Added support for new shapes and levels. Different shapes have different stats and some of them can be upgraded with a leveling up system. Also added a sine wave animation to a tile.
Implemented settings and a save file. Now whenever the user reopens the game it remembers their last used shape and map so they donāt have to reselect them. The settings UI is only partially made. P.S.: Hackatime shows the 2 linked project times to be 31hrs 55min and 35hrs 8 min respectively, but the total somehow is 57hrs 19 min.

But then I tried to implement the frame rate setting and so the class had to be redesigned and now, letās say itās halfway there.

Added Linux support!!!

Each icon is drawn using their specific function, but I am thinking of combining them into one function in the future.
Iām starting the development of an Predictive Coding AI model that would play my game as a bot. Iāll make it in Python so I can learn a new language and as it is the standard language used in AI development. Currently Iām building a kind of āmega clientā which acts as 10 client that connect to the server and it displays the whole map on the screen with all the players. After this I will link the Python project with the āMega Clientā through standard streams as ENet on Python isnāt really a modern supported thing and this will cut down network bandwidth and I think will decrease the CPU overhead while the model trains. When the link between the Python and C++ program is finished then Iāll start the development of the actual AI model, which will involve reading through some scientific papers on the topic. Right now I have 2 of them bookmarked, but you never know when something new may pop up.
These past days I am trying to figure out how to implement the IPC (inter process communication) between Python (where the AI model will be made) and the C++ āmegaclientā that acts as 10 clients that connect to the game server. From what Iāve seen one of the easiest ways to implement it is through binary standard streams because Iāll have to move 14KB of data per frame, and because I will unlock the speed of the server physics simulation, it will be like thousands of frames per second, which will add up pretty fast.

After a bit of a pause on this project because I wanted to clear my mind a little and do the Hackpad hardware project I returned and made the Game Over screen a bit nicer and so everything is beginning to tie together. I wrote Reals and Quanta so that new users will know what those icons mean. In addition I redesigned the map selection screen to show a preview of the map before selecting it. I am also thinking of adding an aim overview and the players just hold the arrow keys or move the right joystick on the controller.
I added the aiming line overlay to make it easier for players to see where they are aiming. It was actually a little bit of spaghetti code involved in the making of this as I use a function to draw the match and another function calculates the last point of the line and returns it but I made it work and it does so beautifully and reliably. I am thinking of maybe adding 1 or 2 more shapes and 1 or 2 new maps and Iād say the project is ready for another ship!
I added 2 new shapes that will fight for supremacy in the math world. They are the Astroid and the Reuleaux Triangle. The Astroid is more of a sniper with long range and lots of damage, but smaller ammo. The Reuleaux Triangle is more of a tank with a shorter range and smaller speed but tons of ammo and damage and also loads of health. Also I added 2 new maps, one is a team mode map and another is a PVE map in which each shape has to fight to be the only one standing at the end of the match.
Ships:
What did you make? What was challenging? What are you proud of? I made a multiplayer game where interesting geometrical shapes fight each other to dominate the world of maths called Geomatrix. It is built fully in C++ with ENet being used for the client-server communication over UDP and Raylib being used to display graphics on the client side. In Geomatrix different shapes have their own strengths and weaknesses and players have to leverage them in the best way possible so they can win. It was quite challenging getting the client to render and interpolate the packets sent from the server because without taking into account the time difference the players might overshoot, and because the projectiles didnāt have an id at the time, they would flicker in positions where they shouldnāt have been. I am very proud of my server and the client-server communication because were the most reliable and straightforward things during the development of this project, even though I firstly started to build the server, the collision simulation, aiming, map and shape changes were very intuitive which proved to be extremely reliable. This reliability of the server really did come in handy when debugging the numerous bugs of the client, but most of the bugs that I found in the client are now fixed, but if someone finds more, I wouldnāt be surprised and you can contact me and describe the issue. What should people know so they can test your project? To test the project follow these steps: Go to releases section of the GitHub repository. Download the Client and Server executables. Download the āmapsā folder from the root directory of the repository. Place the Client and Server executables and the āmapsā folder inside 1 directory. Start the Server and then the Client. For multiple clients just spin up new instances of the Client. It is only on Windows at the moment, but in a future update it will be cross platform, even on mobile.

In Geomatrix different shapes have their own strengths and weaknesses and players have to leverage them in the best way possible so they can win. It was quite challenging trying to stay consistent and not get overwhelmed by the loads of things I could add to the game as my time is limited and I easily ended up in a rabbit-hole about AI models that could play my game, which I didnāt end up making. I am proud that even though I wouldnāt say this is the most sophisticated piece of software, I would say itās pretty rudimentary compared to other games but Iāve come to expect reliability and modularity from it, which really came in handy when adding the maps and shapes. Even though there were some minor bugs here and there with the new maps and shapes at the beginning, it all ended up working with very small tweaks.

This OSās standout feature is the ability to flip the polarity of the windows to make them either attract or repel each other. The goal is to let people be able to organize related windows and put them where they want to. I added a switch which toggles window outlines between red and blue, and linked windows can be dragged together. Along with this feature, I also added a scientific calculator, a music player, and a search app. Windows are also scalable now by dragging the corners, allowing even more freedom to the user. So altogether, 5 new features. The most challenging part was getting the magnetism feature working; I couldnāt find any references online, and even after the core function was working, there were a bunch of number tweaks to be made. Generally speaking, Iām proud of making an HTML site that goes above and beyond, expanding on my previous ship for the more limited mission. Iām also proud of some of the intentional choices I made, like adding feedback to windows snapping and creating gradients on the magnetism switches.

Welcome! Iāve made the welcome page for MagnOS, including the basics on what it does, and a little introduction to how magnets work. Thatās the basic HTML and CSS, but JavaScript (a.k.a. the hard stuff) is yet to come. If this pans out how I hope, I think the OS can really be a cool thing to mess around with, and I might even use the code for my personal productivity!
Are we sure weāre on task right now? The bottom bar is ready, except for that to-do button in the centre. That can be made inputtable and working once I get a bit more in-depth on my JavaScript. Right now, we have a window of content, the taskbar, and a nice screensaver background (this might be a placeholder, but I kind of like it). Moving on to some clickability!
What a dragā¦ Iāve updated quite a bit since the last devlog, so the windows are now draggable, closable, openable, all that jazz. We also have some editability: the MagNotes app is up and working as a simple notepad, and the to-do list in the taskbar can be updated. One app is a little boring, though, so I think we can step things up in the coming days. The end of WebOS 1 is in sight!
Looks pretty sketchyā¦ Introducing the MagSketch app, which comes with different colours, pen sizes, and even a colour picker (Iām pretty proud of that one). Getting the canvas to work was pretty challenging, but there are plenty of guides online that really helped speed things up.
Big Update Magnetism Features Click a switch on a window to swap it between red mode and blue mode. Opposites attract, while like poles repel. The main feature of this OS. Calculator Not just a four-function one, but scientific with all the bells and whistles! Music Player Comes with all the basic features youād expect (except maybe more than one song, but I feel like the song choice is self-explanatory). Next Time I have a search feature that I want to properly flesh out so that itās actually usable. Also, I want to make scalable windows, but Iāve been having a lot of trouble getting that to be separate from the dragging functionality.
Final Update Scalable Windows It wouldnāt really be useful for productivity if you couldnāt shrink the apps that can stay off to the side, so now they can be shrunk and still attached to other windows! This was definitely the hardest part, and Iām not 100% sure it works in all cases when windows are already magnetized. Snapping Design Previously, I was able to make the windowsā edges change to white when connected. After doing some more Googling, I was able to make a sort of pulse that acts as feedback when the super snaps the windows together (Iām very proud of this). If thatās not enough, it also plays a snap sound now. Search Fix I noticed that some OSās make their search app replace the current tab, which makes the OS tab go away. I fixed mine to have it open a new tab with your query. End of the Line This will be the final devlog for MagnOS, at least before my first WebOS 2 ship. Iāve added 3 new apps and a big new feature, which I hope Stardancers will enjoy.
Ships:
I made a magnet-themed OS, with a red and blue design. I added a welcome window and a notes app, both of which can be dragged around. For some bonus features, I added the ability to drag the app icon, as well as an editable taskbar āTo Doā item. The most challenging part of designing this was getting the icon for the app to be draggable without having the app open when dragged. I am proud of this OS, since I have limited experience with HTML, and almost no experience in combining it with JavaScript. To test it out, just head to the attached link (itās hosted using Github pages).
I made a magnet themed OS called MagnOS. This OSās standout feature is the ability to flip the polarity of the windows to make them either attract or repel each other. The goal is to let people be able to organize related windows and put them where they want to. I added a switch which toggles window outlines between red and blue, and linked windows can be dragged together. Along with this feature, I also added a scientific calculator, a music player, and a search app. Windows are also scalable now by dragging the corners, allowing even more freedom to the user. So altogether, 5 new features. The most challenging part was getting the magnetism feature working; I couldnāt find any references online, and even after the core function was working, there were a bunch of number tweaks to be made. Generally speaking, Iām proud of making an HTML site that goes above and beyond, expanding on my previous ship for the more limited mission. Iām also proud of some of the intentional choices I made, like adding feedback to windows snapping and creating gradients on the magnetism switches. For anyone who wants to test my project, just head to the demo URL, since it is just a web page you can run in your browser. The magnetism stuff should be pretty intuitive to use, but it can be a bit janky if you spawn many windows on top of each other. Thanks for reading!...

I started the guide, and made the site so you canāt scroll when the background isnāt just right. The background I found doesnāt require attribution. I also made the tag for the welcome 50% opaque.
Iām actually really proud of this. I have got the top bar started, changed some styling and adjusted some stuff behind the scenes (and as per the guide) to help ensure everything will work still as I add more to the operating system.
Time added, and the window can now be closed and opened using the bar at the bottom, and the red button on the window. It can be dragged around the screen using the handle bar at the top of the window.
I started adding more windows that can be dragged and closed.
I have added a lot more, including photos, facts, a notepad that saves to local storage, and windows layering on top. I am very proud and am ready to ship!
I am starting the WebOS 2 mission now My addition plans Live Data Window Settings Window Weather
Got the weather window working!
I got the settings page working! I have plans to add more settings (possibly), but I am just happy to have a 12 hour vs 24 hour toggle working. I am not very good with JavaScript, so I am proud of this.

Itās a fully functional, browser based desktop OS thatās basically a love letter to the āFrutiger Aeroā the popular aesthetic of mid 2000s (think Windows Vista, Windows 7, and early Mac OS X).

What did I make? Picked up where ship #1 left off and turned AeroOS into an actual usable desktop. Added a full boot sequence (shutdown > boot > lock screen > desktop), a top menu bar with working flyouts for battery, wifi, volume, and calendar, and a functional Start menu with search. Four new apps: Settings (wallpaper, sound, network, accounts), File Explorer, Media Player, and a Games Explorer with 5 playable embedded games. Also added a custom right-click context menu and a Browser app. What was challenging? Keeping everything visually consistent as the app count grew. Every new flyout, window, and panel needed the same treatment as the original apps, so I ended up building shared pieces instead of copy pasting styles everywhere. Wiring the boot > lock > desktop flow through session state without it feeling janky took a few tries too. What am I proud of? The flyouts. Getting battery, wifi, volume, and the calendar to all feel like they belong to the same OS. The same borders, same shadows, same footer links was fiddly but itās the difference between āa pile of componentsā and āa coherent system.ā How to test it? Start on the shutdown screen, hit power, and let it boot through to the lock screen. Click āLog onā to reach the desktop. Try the Start menu (bottom-left) and search for an app by name. Open File Explorer, double-click an audio/video/image file: itāll launch in Media Player. Check the top-right flyouts (wifi, volume, battery, calendar). Right click the desktop for the context menu....

When I published the first major update for this project at the 15-hour mark, I essentially had a proof-of-concept. I had managed to write a custom hybrid cooperative/preemptive scheduler and get an ARM Cortex-M7 (on the STM32f756VGTx) assembly context switcher functioning inside the Renode simulator. Although this looked like a massive leap, the project had barely started. Over 100 hours of development have gone into this project since then. The transition from a simulated kernel to a bare-metal flight controller capable of keeping a 200 MPH drone in the air required stripping the system down to its bare components, rewriting the memory architecture, and debugging some of the most frustrating hardware faults I have ever encountered-especially whenever the project just crashed, leaving me no traces as to what went wrong. Software Limitations The biggest turning point was realizing that software simulation can only take you so far. Renode is an amazing tool, but it hid a massive amount of race conditions and timing flaws that only exposed themselves when I finally flashed the code to physical STM32F756 Nucleo board. Sometimes, the MCU would have to reboot every 2 seconds. I spent dozens of hours tracking down massive architectural bugs. One of the worst was a context-switching fault where floating-point math was corrupting the return address in the CPU registers, causing the processor to execute raw garbage data. To fix this, I had to completely restructure the boot sequence and overhaul the memory management. I moved away from static arrays to a dynamic per-task stack allocation system, and implemented a dual-guard memory system. Arguably, this was the most important change as it allowed me to debug tasks way quicker as I instantly could know when the canary values were corrupted. Overhauling the Data Pipelines In order to avoid the 10ms delay of my original blocking pipline (for data transfer), I entirely rewrote the hardware data pipelines multiple times to use a semi-blocking, circular Direct Memory Access (DMA) architecture. Instead of the processor handling the data transfer, the hardware itself moves the bytes from the sensors directly into memory in the background. The DMA streams now trigger precise interrupts at the halfway and full-transfer points, allowing the RTOS to safely parse incoming radio packets and sensor reads without ever risking data overwrites or blocking the main flight loop. Building a Flight Controller I integrated Betaflightās Actual Rates algorithm with custom expo curves, ensuring that physical stick inputs map perfectly to target velocities. I built a custom SPI driver to pull 24-bit raw pressure and temperature data from a BMP390 barometer, passing it through hypsometric formulas to calculate altitude. For video and telemetry, I moved away from raw UART strings and implemented native MSP DisplayPort communication (for true digital Walksnail Avatar connection). I also built an interactive USB command-line interface. Instead of having to recompile and re-flash the firmware every time a PID value needs to be adjusted, I can plug into the board, pull up a terminal, and manually tune gains, remap CRSF radio channels, or adjust IMU orientation offsets in real time. Final Version The last few weeks have been about refinement and consistency, removing race conditions and overall polishing the code. Now that the RTOS is fully functional, the only things to add are extra features, like a permanent + more expanded CLI, as well as finishing the external RM and linking the ESC drivers. As these are pretty insignificant, I have linked the source of this shipment to the Github project rather than a specific release so that I can update these during review!", "repo": "https://github.com/Guag914/200-MPH-Drone-RTOS/", "demo": "https://github.com/Guag914/200-MPH-Drone-RTOS#interactive--simulation-demo"}, {"ship_num": 2, "ts": "2026-07-15T04:02:12Z", "hours": 15.0, "multiplier": 16.44, "payout": 243, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "Phase 1 (The Custom RTOS Kernel) I am building a custom FPV drone from scratch with my friend in an attempt to achieve 200 mph . At those speeds, standard super loops are far too slow, as a single microsecond of lag means the drone travels feet before making a PID correction. To solve this, I built a custom, hybrid cooperative/preemptive Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) from scratch for the ARM Cortex-M7 (STM32F7)! What Was Challenging? The absolute hardest part of this phase was writing the low-level assembly context switcher ( PendSV_Handler.S ). Hacking the ARM Cortex-M7 registers to physically hot-swap stack pointers ( PSP ) mid-execution without crashing the CPU or corrupting the program state was a massive headache. I had to ensure that when an asynchronous preemption event fires, the assembly code perfectly preserves the execution registers ( R4-R11 plus the hardware-stacked registers), jumps to the high-priority task, and then seamlessly restores the background task right where it left off. Getting the compiler-enforced task overloading working so the kernel cleanly separates periodic tasks from raw interrupts was another huge hurdle, but it makes the whole codebase infinitely more robust. Want to Test It or Write Your Own Tasks? You donāt need physical hardware to watch this run! Iāve packaged the entire project with a Renode simulation script. You can run the interactive emulator with a single command to see the preemption scheduler hijack our counter task live, or you can jump into the user sandbox file and write your own custom tasks.

Issues with the Old Design The flight controllerās RTOS scheduler wasnāt working under real hardware timing because global variables like currTaskIndex, topOfStack, and excReturn were being modified from multiple entry points simultaneously. Yield calls, interrupt handlers, and the main task-selection logic were all making independent writes to the same shared task control blocks. Whenever a hardware interrupt fired mid-write, stack pointers and exception return values were saved into the wrong taskControlBlocks slot. This created edge cases where preempted tasks were silently double-queued, state tracking completely desynchronized, and time-critical hardware events were dropped during flight. 2. Centralizing Context Switches in PendSV To eliminate these race conditions, all state-selection decisions were moved out of individual execution contexts and consolidated into decideNextTask(), which now runs exclusively inside the PendSV assembly handler. Functions like yieldCurrentTask(), decideNextInterruptTask(), and decideNextScheduledTask() no longer touch global scheduler state or choose which task runs next; they simply update local status flags like TaskState::BLOCKED or TaskState::READY inside brief __disable_irq() critical sections and trigger PendSV using SCB_ICSR_PENDSVSET_Msk. When PendSV fires, decideNextTask() saves outgoingSP and outgoingExcReturn to the active block, sets RUNNING tasks to READY, and runs a two-pass check over taskControlBlocks[]āevaluating high-priority TaskType::INTERRUPT tasks first, then TaskType::SCHEDULED tasks, and falling back to index 0 for idle. Since PendSV is the only place allowed to modify currTaskIndex, concurrent state corruption is structurally impossible."}, {"post_id": 71997, "ts": "2026-09-21T23:26:43Z", "hours": 7.2761, "text": "For the past couple weeks I have been mostly refining small bugs, which were originally rendering the RTOS usless, as well as refactoring the code for simplicity rather than elegancy. 1. Transition to Actual Hardware Renode is great for simulation, but it ended up hiding a bunch of race conditions in the population methods and the main scheduler that led to no code actually running during the IRQ handler calls. I spent a lot of time securing those resources and finally got the scheduler mostly finished up. Also, I decided to just take out the double preempts entirely since they were adding way too much complexity for absolutely zero speed benefits in practice (plus they were creating detrimental but rare race conditions). 2. Code Refactor To make things run a bit more consistent, I restructured how the control loops operate. I ended up merging the dShotGeneration task with the parent IMU control loop, so now everything from reading the sensors to pushing motor commands happens in one clean sequence (rather than including an unnecessary preempt). I also built out a brand new CRSF control loop to handle all the radio parsing and state machine updates in its own dedicated space (just for consistency). Lastly, while doing a final pass on the code, I realized that in my dShotGeneration helper, I had forgot to scale the values by a factor of 1/2000, as the inputs require the value to be between 0 and 1 (not 0 and 2000). 3. Final DMA Iteration The biggest relief was finally getting rid of the old blocking USART system. I finally transitioned away from manually handling the streaming by polling flags in a loop, which was tying up the processor way more than it should have. Everything has been converted over to a blocking DMA system, so the hardware can just handle all the memory transfers in the background while the CPU focuses on actually keeping the drone in the air. Overall, I think that this will be the final iteration of the RTOS DMA pipeline, as now that it is solid and works with all the edge cases, theres no need to change it. 4. Timeline With almost all the major bugs fixed, I am going to ship the project! While it is not 100% done, it will likely be as close as it will get during the timeframe of the Stardance hackathon, and with it so close, theres no reason not to ship. Anyway, I will keep the source as the main project rather than a release, so if I do end up fixing any major bugs, they will get patched either before or during project review (besides most of these bugs are only detectable on actual hardware). I will most likely finish the RTOS in the next couple weeks (by the end of October), and will finish the drivers for the ESC and RM by latest end of November (for more timing refer to the README). Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout this project (hopefully me and my friend can get this drone flying in another Hack Club Hackathon!)."}, {"post_id": 63202, "ts": "2026-09-06T21:25:57Z", "hours": 9.6606, "text": "1. Scheduler Hardening and Task Discovery Spent part of this session making the RTOS scheduler itself more robust. I added a findTaskByName() function so interrupt-driven task lookups happen dynamically instead of relying on hardcoded task indices, which was a fragile setup just waiting to break the moment task registration order changed. Alongside that, I wrapped every one of those lookups with lambdas that throw a proper warning if a task canāt be found, so a missing task fails loudly instead of silently dereferencing a null pointer somewhere downstream. 2. Blocking vs Non-Blocking Scheduled Tasks After a lot of painful debugging, I traced a string of issues (including interrupt tasks silently failing to fire and scheduled tasks stepping on each other) back to non-blocking statements Iād introduced inside scheduled tasks in the previous devlog. I ended up taking those out and reverting scheduled tasks fully back to blocking, which is genuinely what the scheduled zone was designed for in the first place: tasks that donāt need to run in polynomial time and can safely block without putting the drone at risk of crashing. Once that was sorted, I converted the raw USART byte-pushing into a blocking DMA system instead, so streaming is handled by DMA hardware rather than manually pushed byte-by-byte over USART. 3. Flight Loop Refactor and VTX Communication On the flight logic side, I refactored flightLoop() to use lambdas and a state machine so I would never have to yield in the middle of my tasks (which was used previousely for zeroing motor outputs). I also converted the error handling into a proper state machine, so different types of warnings can be caught and handled distinctly instead of lumping every issue into one path, and turned on full debug printing whenever the system is running. Last but not least, I built out a dedicated injector for respondToVTX so I can properly test and simulate VTX communication going forward. 4. Real Hardware Testing Since, I am almost 100% done with the RTOS I bought two NUCLEO-F756ZGās which will serve as testing the 100% production code rather than the simulation version. I bought two so that one of the boards will be running the real RTOS code, testing DMA reading from USART, SPI, and emitting real motor signals, while the second will be emulating all of my peripherals. When the boards come, if the code does work, it will also mean that the real PCBās will also work when my friend finishes with them. 5. Next Steps As of now there are a few issues with the double preempt system (for the interrupt tasks) I designed a while back, so I will need to debug that before they arrive. Right now before the boards arrive, I will be finishing up the RTOS blocking DMA pipelines (stripping out IRQ, removing NVIC etc. for scheduled tasks), and performing a bunch of baseline testing in order to prove that the RTOS is capable of flying an actual drone!"}, {"post_id": 52761, "ts": "2026-08-23T03:11:04Z", "hours": 9.6356, "text": "1. CLI Upgrades and Channel Mapping Over the past 5 days, I knocked out some major quality-of-life upgrades for the flight controller. I added customizable channel mapping for CRSF directly through the CLI. By utilizing a combination of references and pointers, I was able to point a volatile alias to certain channel mappings, allowing for completely customizable CRSF channels. While I was in the CLI logic, I also added the ability to configure custom IMU orientations around the z-axis, making it way easier to mount the board in different directions without having to recompile the firmware. 2. DMA Pipeline Fixes and Baro Optimization A big chunk of this session went into debugging and refactoring the hardware data pipelines. I adjusted the ADC population pipeline in order to fix some stream parsing issues, and gave the barometer a massive overhaul. The baro now uses a non-blocking, non-circular DMA setup that relies on a semi-interrupt-driven task call rather than a continuous loop. This enabled me to yield in the middle of the function, and call back later as soon as DMA is finished transferring. I also fixed a massive bug in the DMA setup: the DMA_SxCR_HTIE and DMA_SxCR_TCIE flags were accidentally enabled for the GPS and OSD ring buffers, which would have crashed the whole RTOS by firing unhandled interrupts, causing default HAL and IRQ handlers to run. 3. Walksnail Two-Way Communication Finally, I built out the respondToVTX task to get the drone properly communicating with the Walksnail VTX. Instead of just blindly sending video data out, this sets up true two-way communication over asynchronous UART. By writing a persistent byte-by-byte state machine, the flight controller can now safely parse incoming requests from the VTX without dropping half-packets, allowing me to send back live stick positions and armed status for the OSD menus. The only thing left to do now is handle persistent CLI storage, the logToBlackBox task, integrating the semi-interrupt pipeline with telemetryTX and the OSD, and a few other system tweaks. After that the RTOS will be 100% ready to fly the actual drone."}, {"post_id": 49360, "ts": "2026-08-18T04:16:35Z", "hours": 4.0211, "text": "Complete RTOS Overhaul, Circular DMA Pipelines, and CPU Abort Fixes This update focuses on fine-tuning the RTOS, organizing the scheduler, and rewriting microcontroller memory handling. Renodeās simulated DMA restrictions make software-only pipeline testing nearly impossible, so I plan to buy a physical dev board and Raspberry Pi to validate on silicon. While the Git diff might not look massive, the architecture has evolved from a blocking system to a true preemptive RTOS with precise polynomial timing. 1. Reworking DMA Flow & Standardizing Ring Buffers Sensor and receiver data pipelines are now driven by circular DMA, enabling non-blocking, high-frequency transfers with response times as fast as 0.3 ms (without printToUSART enabled). Everything now relies on ring buffers. Instead of generating complete packets instantly, mock injectors stream bytes directly into the buffers while updating the simulated NDTR register to mirror hardware behavior. if ( byteIdx >= frameLen ) { byteIdx = 0 ; } crsfRingBuffer [ head ] = frameBuf [ byteIdx ++ ]; head = ( head + 1 ) % CRSF_RING_BUFFER_SIZE ; currentBoardConfig . crsf_dma_stream -> NDTR = CRSF_RING_BUFFER_SIZE - head ; Feeding bytes incrementally moves the write head gradually, ensuring the simulation mimics a physical UART and allowing population functions to safely pull data within interrupt locks. 2. DMA Interrupts for Safe Parsing To prevent data overwrites, DMA streams trigger interrupts at the halfway (HTIE) and full-transfer (TCIE) points to queue tasks. Because registers like LISR are read-only in hardware, I implemented a software mock flag system (mock_LISR) for simulation: extern \"C\" void DMA1_Stream0_IRQHandler ( void ) { #ifdef SIMULATION uint32_t flags = mock_LISR ; mock_LISR = 0 ; #else uint32_t flags = DMA1 -> LISR ; #endif if ( flags & DMA_LISR_HTIF0 ) { DMA1 -> LIFCR = DMA_LIFCR_CHTIF0 ; decideNextInterruptTask ( & taskControlBlocks [ 1 ]); } } Functions safely extract data with interrupts disabled, ensuring the CPU never blocks waiting for peripheral transfers. 3. Assembly Bugs & CPU Aborts Debugging nested hardware interrupts exposed massive faults: The context-switching bug: FPU usage or large stack frames corrupted the return address, causing the CPU to execute BX LR with garbage data. Fixed in PendSV_Handler.S by explicitly storing excReturn inside the TaskControlBlock rather than relying on stacked registers. Second, a 0x00000000 Null Return Crash: Scheduled tasks attempted to return natively, popping 0x00000000 from the zero-initialized Link Register and causing a fetch fault. Every task now runs inside an infinite while(true) loop calling yieldCurrentTask() . 4. Clock PLLs & Hardware Re-routing After configuring the STM32CubeMX PLL for a 25 MHz HSE clock, the MCU runs at its full 216 MHz. I added a standardized initSystemGPIOClocks() function to enable peripheral clocks consistently. I also moved motor 3 from TIM1 to TIM4, synchronizing it with the 216MHz clock and freeing up a TIM1 DMA stream exclusively for the upcoming BlackBox logging. Future Updates With the core RTOS stabilized, development shifts to flight-facing systems: hooking the SPI pipeline to the video overlay for live OSD goggle telemetry, adding permanent flash storage for PID tunes/configs, exposing MCU controls via CLI, supporting programmable transmitter bind buttons, building a desktop GUI, and using the freed TIM1 DMA for BlackBox logging. Below, I have attached a screenshot of every single task working, and outputting values in the simulation, something that wasnāt possible for the interrupt tasks until now."}, {"post_id": 48647, "ts": "2026-08-17T03:57:01Z", "hours": 9.6761, "text": "1. Reworking the DMA Flow for Speed So, a lot has been going on lately, starting with a massive rework of the entire DMA flow. The functions are now entirely populated by circular DMA, which is a huge upgrade for the systemās overall performance. This architectural change allows for completely non-blocking, high-frequency calls, hitting response times as fast as 0.03 milliseconds. It basically means the whole data pipeline is significantly faster, and much more responsive than it was in previous versions. 2. Standardizing Ring Buffers and Mock Injectors To make everything more reliable, the DMA now follows a very specific and predictable pattern for both scheduled and interrupt tasks. Everything relies on ring buffers now, whether they are being injected by actual hardware (or simulated) DMA or by my custom simulation scripts. I also reworked the mock injectors so they no longer just return a pre-formatted packet. Instead, they write directly into the ring buffer, which lets me test the exact same parsing pipeline in software, simulating the hardware flow almost exactly like Renode (if only they would ever fix that USART DMA bugā¦). 3. Assembly BX LR Bug + STMCubeMX Clock PLL I also finally solved the long term BX LR return bug that I literally spent over 20 hours trying to find. Whenever tasks used the FPU or had slightly larger stacks, the return address in the r0 register would just get completely corrupted by the extra data. I fixed this by storing the return address in a dedicated uint value instead of blindly trusting the registers to hold it. That fix alone allowed me to safely re-add telemetryTX and make a bunch of other function logic much more robust. On top of that, I went into STM32CubeMX and reworked the clock PLL manually (it took over 3 hours to solve by hand). By feeding in a 25 MHz HSE clock, I managed to unlock the MCUās internal clocks to run at their full 216 MHz.I also took some time to clean up the codebase to improve overall readability and commenting. 4. DMA Interrupts for Safe Parsing Another feature is that DMA now triggers interrupts when the ring buffers hit exactly halfway and when they are fully populated. This gives me the time to parse all the incoming values safely without having the risk about data getting overwritten by the next DMA pass before I am done reading it. I set up the IRQ handlers in the code to call the interrupt methods automatically, which ensures the CPU stays completely unblocked and free to handle other flight control tasks almost all the time (overall decreasing headroom). 5. Current Status: NVIC Bug Sadly, the code is actually not functional right now because the NVIC and IRQ pipeline is malfunctioning and just refusing to call the interrupts for reasons I cannot figure out yet. Because of this, I am holding off on pushing the code until I can track down the bug, give everything a final polish, and run some benchmark testing (since I donāt want to commit broken code). Also, sorry for promising a commit a day or two after my last devlog. I got super busy, especially with vacation, but I will try my best to get this sorted. Depending on how long it takes to figure out this NVIC issue, the next commit might drop anywhere from tomorrow to a few weeks from now."}, {"post_id": 41654, "ts": "2026-08-06T00:44:12Z", "hours": 9.5336, "text": "This week was heavily focused on the fine tuning and organization of the RTOS. I spent numerous hours of research and untangling environment setups. I originally tried to build out a complete framework for the drone code without relying on any simulation code, but Renodeās restrictions, specifically with its ability to perform DMA requests, quickly made it clear that path was impossible. To fix this Iām looking into picking up a dev board and a Raspberry Pi so I can test and debug everything on an actual MCU before finally moving the codebase over to the drone. Even though the git wonāt look a whole lot different and not a lot of actual code changed, getting these configs finalized (especially in STM32CubeMX) in was a huge step forward for the project. I expect to commit the next version of the code either today or tomorrow, with improvements specifically in TelemetryTX, BlackBoxLogging, and a few other minor changes!"}, {"post_id": 37983, "ts": "2026-07-31T02:30:16Z", "hours": 8.6756, "text": "Major Architecture Upgrade : OSD, Betaflight Rates & Build System Refactor 1. OSD, DMA + SYS First off on the hardware side, I added native MSP-based OSD support for Walksnail video transmitters, built the SPI barometer driver for altitude tracking, and spun up a low-level health task that constantly monitors MPU registers and stack usage in the background. On top of that, I finally fixed the DMA stream conflicts (mainly in STMCubeMX) between TIM1 DShot motor outputs , ADC1, and SPI peripherals, so everything runs without collisions now. 2. SYS Health + Debugging I also implemented a few other low level tasks, allowing me to monitor system health, based upon ram usage and storage used. This task prints out the amount at which each tasks stack is being used, allowing me to effectively debug whether a task was actually overflowing, vs an unrestricted read/write. Furthermore, the original canary values that I used, were completely replaced as they in fact were causing some of the āstack overflowā bugs (via unrestricted reads/write every 1 ms in SysTick_Handler ). 3. Betaflight Rates + CLI Update For flight feel, I implemented Betaflightās Actual Rates algorithm with custom expo curves, so stick inputs map to target angular velocities with center-stick precision. I also completely separated serial communications by moving the interactive CLI to USART1 (accessible via nc -C localhost 1234 in terminal) and pushing system logs to USART3. Additionally, I removed the old telemetryTX task because its unauthorized reads/writes were completely breaking the RTOS scheduler, and expanded the CLI with a ton of commands for live sensor readings and more PID tuning. Speaking of which, I am planning to create a persistent file in /bin/ , allowing for rates to be stored between runs, rather than being reset each during runtime, and having to be manually configured through the CLI. 4. Overhauled Building Workflow Finally, I overhauled the whole developer workflow and build automation setup. The build.sh and build.bat scripts now auto-configure custom CMake profiles and generate a full disassembly file in /bin/ after every build for fast low-level debugging, while run.sh and run.bat automatically launch the right terminal windows on launch. 5. Future Additions: Iām planning to build a closed-loop Renode simulation matrix to stream hardware data into every peripheral externally, letting me run 100% real production code during SIL testing! For this, I will utilize the currently blank simulate.py as well as certain commands in simulate.resc to create properly formatted dynamic buffers(which are not directly injected into the code), allowing me to properly test the DMA drivers, and many of the memory management helpers."}, {"post_id": 35605, "ts": "2026-07-27T04:22:30Z", "hours": 9.44, "text": "Over the last few days, I wrapped up two major tasks for the flight controllerās core sensor and telemetry stack: the on-screen display (OSD) renderer and the BMP390 barometer subsystem. The OSD engine is now fully hooked up to the state system, giving real-time visual downlinks for critical metrics like flight battery voltage, active flight modes, and height statistics over UART. To keep the execution completely non-blocking, all frame updates are dispatched asynchronously, preventing rendering delays from hindering the performance of the high-frequency control loops. On the barometer side, I implemented altitude tracking using Boschās BMP390 sensor over SPI with non-blocking DMA burst transfers. In the 50Hz task loop, incoming 24-bit raw pressure and temperature bytes are assembled and passed through the hypsometric formula to calculate smooth, relative height above ground level (AGL). Although the barometer task is a bit flawed due to floating point register stack errors with the header and end canary values, they donāt seem to be affecting the system in anyway (nor is any data being corrupted). I will find a way to fix these issues before the next commit, as well as the race condition in the interrupt tasks in the next Github commit.

Fixing the Stack Overflows at Boot After an entire 25-hour debugging period across 4 days, the RTOS kernel is finally done (for the scheduled tasks). I tracked down a silent bug where several critical scheduled tasksālike powerManagement , lowLevelFailSafe , and telemetryTX āwere crashing the MCU on boot. The issue came down to a boot-time dependency lock: tasks were trying to poll hardware registers (like UART TX flags) and read shared drone state variables before the peripherals or producer tasks had time to initialize on Tick 0. By adding an initial yieldCurrentTask() right at the top of these methods, Task Phase Alignment was officially added. This gives the hardware a full cycle to stabilize, preventing buffer overflows and eliminating the cascading task state corruptions that were locking up the scheduler. 2. Custom Stack Sizing & Real-Time Guard Checks Alongside the scheduler fix, I pushed major upgrades to memory safety and task management. Instead of assigning a static stack array to every task, I transitioned to dynamic per-task stack allocations during initialization ( new (std::nothrow) ). Heavy string-parsing and math tasks get larger stacks, while simple toggle tasks stay lightweight. To catch memory issues before they corrupt the heap, I implemented a custom dual guarding system: 0xDEADBEEF is appended at the bottom of the stack to catch standard stack overflows, while a new 0xBEEFCAFE canary value is written to the very top index ( stackSizeWords ) to instantly flag memory breaches in the SysTick_Handler . Furthermore, I refactored powerManagement to use ADC2 in Circular DMA Mode, writing battery telemetry directly to RAM in the background for zero CPU overhead. 3. Transitioning to Walksnail Avatar HD Looking ahead, my and my friend are officially transitioning our existing analog video setup over to a fully integrated Walksnail Avatar HD digital ecosystem. Rather than keeping my custom telemetry task ( telemetryTX ) with heavy string formatting over raw UART, Walksnail allows me to stream standard MSP (MultiWii Serial Protocol) DisplayPort frames straight to the VTX. The Walksnail system will serve as our primary onboard logging source, giving us full OSD telemetry, high-framerate HD video, and precise blackbox data logging. With the RTOS core now stable and non-blocking, our next focus shifts toward āpremiumā flight controller features, e.g. including custom RC stick expo curves, an expanded USB CLI, and an integrated simulator interface."}, {"post_id": 32665, "ts": "2026-07-21T23:24:15Z", "hours": 9.0794, "text": "I just finished expanding the RTOS architecture, filling out all of the scheduled background tasks to handle real-time flight telemetry, peripheral hardware, and terminal configuration.

To make bench testing and tuning significantly easier, I added usbCLI over USART1, giving me a full interactive shell to tweak PID gains (Kp, Ki, Kd), dump raw IMU data, and inspect hardware states on the fly without needing to reflash firmware.

On the project structure side, CMake now routes all output binaries straight into a clean ./bin/ directory so nobody has to compile the source manually just to run the .elf target in Renode.

Running a multi-sample sensorCalibration() routine at cold boot was forcing hidden task yields before the OS kernel was fully mapped out, which was throwing unmapped register address errors and wiping out index-0 entries. To solve this, I decoupled the entire state machine sequence so that hardware allocations, peripheral registers, and core tracking counters now clear before any operational loops drop into the registry. I also added a critical rtosStarted gatekeeper flag to yieldCurrentTask() so calibration math runs cleanly in sequence without triggering early PendSV handler switches. On top of that, the task stack pointers are completely realigned. The assembly context swapper now maps a precise 32-word boundary allocation utilizing 0xFFFFFFFD as a basic exception return code, which completely eliminates the data corruption that was misaligning our Process Stack Pointer. With the fundamental kernel stabilized, I shifted entirely into clean architecture organization. The massive, cluttered code blocks have been split up into independent tracking files (BufferPopulation.cpp, Tasks.cpp, and SimInjector.cpp). High-speed SPI reads for the IMU, UART ring buffers for decoding CRSF radio channel frames, battery ADC sampling, and DShot600 motor output mixers are now fully broken out and functional. There is still a nagging preemption lockout issue inside the simulator where a single interrupt task attempts to starve out the other concurrent loops during a millisecond window, but the baseline operating system is locked in, meaning I can confidently verify the PID flight mixing tables and safety code blocks safely before the code ever touches a physical quadcopter. If you would like to run your own tasks, I also added support in the .bat and .sh files to build code for the simulation (flag=sim), user task code (flag=user), and actual drone upload code (no flags). Example MacOS Commands: ./build.sh sim ./build.sh user ./build.sh This makes it so that I donāt have to constantly modify code to run either the user tasks or simulation code, instead using a flag.

Iāve spent the last 20 hours of coding basically staring at bare-metal memory allocations and tracking down why the droneās context switcher was triggering CPU drops under the Renode simulation environment.

The massive, cluttered code blocks have been split up into independent tracking files (BufferPopulation.cpp, Tasks.cpp, and SimInjector.cpp).

I just finished expanding the RTOS architecture, filling out all of the scheduled background tasks to handle real-time flight telemetry, peripheral hardware, and terminal configuration.

I also made powerManagement into its own standalone task so ADC voltage and current metrics can feed into the failsafe logic and telemetry concurrently.

While all the background subsystems and scheduled task priorities are fully mapped out, Iām currently figuring out a few lingering RTOS bugsāspecifically around stack allocation, causing stack overflow flags on certain scheduled tasks, along with scheduling starvation where context switching isnāt releasing task blocks properly. Because I want to ensure the scheduler kernel is 100% complete before pushing broken stack frames to the main branch, the GitHub repository will be updated with the complete, bug-fixed code later today. Everything is moving in the right direction, and getting these background tasks finalized brings me one step closer to full flight hardware deployment!
1. Fixing the Stack Overflows at Boot After an entire 25-hour debugging period across 4 days, the RTOS kernel is finally done (for the scheduled tasks). I tracked down a silent bug where several critical scheduled tasksālike powerManagement , lowLevelFailSafe , and telemetryTX āwere crashing the MCU on boot. The issue came down to a boot-time dependency lock: tasks were trying to poll hardware registers (like UART TX flags) and read shared drone state variables before the peripherals or producer tasks had time to initialize on Tick 0. By adding an initial yieldCurrentTask() right at the top of these methods, Task Phase Alignment was officially added. This gives the hardware a full cycle to stabilize, preventing buffer overflows and eliminating the cascading task state corruptions that were locking up the scheduler. 2. Custom Stack Sizing & Real-Time Guard Checks Alongside the scheduler fix, I pushed major upgrades to memory safety and task management. Instead of assigning a static stack array to every task, I transitioned to dynamic per-task stack allocations during initialization ( new (std::nothrow) ). Heavy string-parsing and math tasks get larger stacks, while simple toggle tasks stay lightweight. To catch memory issues before they corrupt the heap, I implemented a custom dual guarding system: 0xDEADBEEF is appended at the bottom of the stack to catch standard stack overflows, while a new 0xBEEFCAFE canary value is written to the very top index ( stackSizeWords ) to instantly flag memory breaches in the SysTick_Handler . Furthermore, I refactored powerManagement to use ADC2 in Circular DMA Mode, writing battery telemetry directly to RAM in the background for zero CPU overhead. 3. Transitioning to Walksnail Avatar HD Looking ahead, my and my friend are officially transitioning our existing analog video setup over to a fully integrated Walksnail Avatar HD digital ecosystem. Rather than keeping my custom telemetry task ( telemetryTX ) with heavy string formatting over raw UART, Walksnail allows me to stream standard MSP (MultiWii Serial Protocol) DisplayPort frames straight to the VTX. The Walksnail system will serve as our primary onboard logging source, giving us full OSD telemetry, high-framerate HD video, and precise blackbox data logging. With the RTOS core now stable and non-blocking, our next focus shifts toward āpremiumā flight controller features, e.g. including custom RC stick expo curves, an expanded USB CLI, and an integrated simulator interface.
Over the last few days, I wrapped up two major tasks for the flight controllerās core sensor and telemetry stack: the on-screen display (OSD) renderer and the BMP390 barometer subsystem. The OSD engine is now fully hooked up to the state system, giving real-time visual downlinks for critical metrics like flight battery voltage, active flight modes, and height statistics over UART. To keep the execution completely non-blocking, all frame updates are dispatched asynchronously, preventing rendering delays from hindering the performance of the high-frequency control loops. On the barometer side, I implemented altitude tracking using Boschās BMP390 sensor over SPI with non-blocking DMA burst transfers. In the 50Hz task loop, incoming 24-bit raw pressure and temperature bytes are assembled and passed through the hypsometric formula to calculate smooth, relative height above ground level (AGL). Although the barometer task is a bit flawed due to floating point register stack errors with the header and end canary values, they donāt seem to be affecting the system in anyway (nor is any data being corrupted). I will find a way to fix these issues before the next commit, as well as the race condition in the interrupt tasks in the next Github commit. After that, it is just system polish and extensive testing before the RTOS will be complete!
Major Architecture Upgrade : OSD, Betaflight Rates & Build System Refactor 1. OSD, DMA + SYS First off on the hardware side, I added native MSP-based OSD support for Walksnail video transmitters, built the SPI barometer driver for altitude tracking, and spun up a low-level health task that constantly monitors MPU registers and stack usage in the background. On top of that, I finally fixed the DMA stream conflicts (mainly in STMCubeMX) between TIM1 DShot motor outputs , ADC1, and SPI peripherals, so everything runs without collisions now. 2. SYS Health + Debugging I also implemented a few other low level tasks, allowing me to monitor system health, based upon ram usage and storage used. This task prints out the amount at which each tasks stack is being used, allowing me to effectively debug whether a task was actually overflowing, vs an unrestricted read/write. Furthermore, the original canary values that I used, were completely replaced as they in fact were causing some of the āstack overflowā bugs (via unrestricted reads/write every 1 ms in SysTick_Handler ). 3. Betaflight Rates + CLI Update For flight feel, I implemented Betaflightās Actual Rates algorithm with custom expo curves, so stick inputs map to target angular velocities with center-stick precision. I also completely separated serial communications by moving the interactive CLI to USART1 (accessible via nc -C localhost 1234 in terminal) and pushing system logs to USART3. Additionally, I removed the old telemetryTX task because its unauthorized reads/writes were completely breaking the RTOS scheduler, and expanded the CLI with a ton of commands for live sensor readings and more PID tuning. Speaking of which, I am planning to create a persistent file in /bin/ , allowing for rates to be stored between runs, rather than being reset each during runtime, and having to be manually configured through the CLI. 4. Overhauled Building Workflow Finally, I overhauled the whole developer workflow and build automation setup. The build.sh and build.bat scripts now auto-configure custom CMake profiles and generate a full disassembly file in /bin/ after every build for fast low-level debugging, while run.sh and run.bat automatically launch the right terminal windows on launch. 5. Future Additions: Iām planning to build a closed-loop Renode simulation matrix to stream hardware data into every peripheral externally, letting me run 100% real production code during SIL testing! For this, I will utilize the currently blank simulate.py as well as certain commands in simulate.resc to create properly formatted dynamic buffers(which are not directly injected into the code), allowing me to properly test the DMA drivers, and many of the memory management helpers.
This week was heavily focused on the fine tuning and organization of the RTOS. I spent numerous hours of research and untangling environment setups. I originally tried to build out a complete framework for the drone code without relying on any simulation code, but Renodeās restrictions, specifically with its ability to perform DMA requests, quickly made it clear that path was impossible. To fix this Iām looking into picking up a dev board and a Raspberry Pi so I can test and debug everything on an actual MCU before finally moving the codebase over to the drone. Even though the git wonāt look a whole lot different and not a lot of actual code changed, getting these configs finalized (especially in STM32CubeMX) in was a huge step forward for the project. I expect to commit the next version of the code either today or tomorrow, with improvements specifically in TelemetryTX, BlackBoxLogging, and a few other minor changes!
1. Reworking the DMA Flow for Speed So, a lot has been going on lately, starting with a massive rework of the entire DMA flow. The functions are now entirely populated by circular DMA, which is a huge upgrade for the systemās overall performance. This architectural change allows for completely non-blocking, high-frequency calls, hitting response times as fast as 0.03 milliseconds. It basically means the whole data pipeline is significantly faster, and much more responsive than it was in previous versions. 2. Standardizing Ring Buffers and Mock Injectors To make everything more reliable, the DMA now follows a very specific and predictable pattern for both scheduled and interrupt tasks. Everything relies on ring buffers now, whether they are being injected by actual hardware (or simulated) DMA or by my custom simulation scripts. I also reworked the mock injectors so they no longer just return a pre-formatted packet. Instead, they write directly into the ring buffer, which lets me test the exact same parsing pipeline in software, simulating the hardware flow almost exactly like Renode (if only they would ever fix that USART DMA bugā¦). 3. Assembly BX LR Bug + STMCubeMX Clock PLL I also finally solved the long term BX LR return bug that I literally spent over 20 hours trying to find. Whenever tasks used the FPU or had slightly larger stacks, the return address in the r0 register would just get completely corrupted by the extra data. I fixed this by storing the return address in a dedicated uint value instead of blindly trusting the registers to hold it. That fix alone allowed me to safely re-add telemetryTX and make a bunch of other function logic much more robust. On top of that, I went into STM32CubeMX and reworked the clock PLL manually (it took over 3 hours to solve by hand). By feeding in a 25 MHz HSE clock, I managed to unlock the MCUās internal clocks to run at their full 216 MHz.I also took some time to clean up the codebase to improve overall readability and commenting. 4. DMA Interrupts for Safe Parsing Another feature is that DMA now triggers interrupts when the ring buffers hit exactly halfway and when they are fully populated. This gives me the time to parse all the incoming values safely without having the risk about data getting overwritten by the next DMA pass before I am done reading it. I set up the IRQ handlers in the code to call the interrupt methods automatically, which ensures the CPU stays completely unblocked and free to handle other flight control tasks almost all the time (overall decreasing headroom). 5. Current Status: NVIC Bug Sadly, the code is actually not functional right now because the NVIC and IRQ pipeline is malfunctioning and just refusing to call the interrupts for reasons I cannot figure out yet. Because of this, I am holding off on pushing the code until I can track down the bug, give everything a final polish, and run some benchmark testing (since I donāt want to commit broken code). Also, sorry for promising a commit a day or two after my last devlog. I got super busy, especially with vacation, but I will try my best to get this sorted. Depending on how long it takes to figure out this NVIC issue, the next commit might drop anywhere from tomorrow to a few weeks from now.
Complete RTOS Overhaul, Circular DMA Pipelines, and CPU Abort Fixes This update focuses on fine-tuning the RTOS, organizing the scheduler, and rewriting microcontroller memory handling. Renodeās simulated DMA restrictions make software-only pipeline testing nearly impossible, so I plan to buy a physical dev board and Raspberry Pi to validate on silicon. While the Git diff might not look massive, the architecture has evolved from a blocking system to a true preemptive RTOS with precise polynomial timing. 1. Reworking DMA Flow & Standardizing Ring Buffers Sensor and receiver data pipelines are now driven by circular DMA, enabling non-blocking, high-frequency transfers with response times as fast as 0.3 ms (without printToUSART enabled). Everything now relies on ring buffers. Instead of generating complete packets instantly, mock injectors stream bytes directly into the buffers while updating the simulated NDTR register to mirror hardware behavior. if ( byteIdx >= frameLen ) { byteIdx = 0 ; } crsfRingBuffer [ head ] = frameBuf [ byteIdx ++ ]; head = ( head + 1 ) % CRSF_RING_BUFFER_SIZE ; currentBoardConfig . crsf_dma_stream -> NDTR = CRSF_RING_BUFFER_SIZE - head ; Feeding bytes incrementally moves the write head gradually, ensuring the simulation mimics a physical UART and allowing population functions to safely pull data within interrupt locks. 2. DMA Interrupts for Safe Parsing To prevent data overwrites, DMA streams trigger interrupts at the halfway (HTIE) and full-transfer (TCIE) points to queue tasks. Because registers like LISR are read-only in hardware, I implemented a software mock flag system (mock_LISR) for simulation: extern "C" void DMA1_Stream0_IRQHandler ( void ) { #ifdef SIMULATION uint32_t flags = mock_LISR ; mock_LISR = 0 ; #else uint32_t flags = DMA1 -> LISR ; #endif if ( flags & DMA_LISR_HTIF0 ) { DMA1 -> LIFCR = DMA_LIFCR_CHTIF0 ; decideNextInterruptTask ( & taskControlBlocks [ 1 ]); } } Functions safely extract data with interrupts disabled, ensuring the CPU never blocks waiting for peripheral transfers. 3. Assembly Bugs & CPU Aborts Debugging nested hardware interrupts exposed massive faults: The context-switching bug: FPU usage or large stack frames corrupted the return address, causing the CPU to execute BX LR with garbage data. Fixed in PendSV_Handler.S by explicitly storing excReturn inside the TaskControlBlock rather than relying on stacked registers. Second, a 0x00000000 Null Return Crash: Scheduled tasks attempted to return natively, popping 0x00000000 from the zero-initialized Link Register and causing a fetch fault. Every task now runs inside an infinite while(true) loop calling yieldCurrentTask() . 4. Clock PLLs & Hardware Re-routing After configuring the STM32CubeMX PLL for a 25 MHz HSE clock, the MCU runs at its full 216 MHz. I added a standardized initSystemGPIOClocks() function to enable peripheral clocks consistently. I also moved motor 3 from TIM1 to TIM4, synchronizing it with the 216MHz clock and freeing up a TIM1 DMA stream exclusively for the upcoming BlackBox logging. Future Updates With the core RTOS stabilized, development shifts to flight-facing systems: hooking the SPI pipeline to the video overlay for live OSD goggle telemetry, adding permanent flash storage for PID tunes/configs, exposing MCU controls via CLI, supporting programmable transmitter bind buttons, building a desktop GUI, and using the freed TIM1 DMA for BlackBox logging. Below, I have attached a screenshot of every single task working, and outputting values in the simulation, something that wasnāt possible for the interrupt tasks until now.
1. CLI Upgrades and Channel Mapping Over the past 5 days, I knocked out some major quality-of-life upgrades for the flight controller. I added customizable channel mapping for CRSF directly through the CLI. By utilizing a combination of references and pointers, I was able to point a volatile alias to certain channel mappings, allowing for completely customizable CRSF channels. While I was in the CLI logic, I also added the ability to configure custom IMU orientations around the z-axis, making it way easier to mount the board in different directions without having to recompile the firmware. 2. DMA Pipeline Fixes and Baro Optimization A big chunk of this session went into debugging and refactoring the hardware data pipelines. I adjusted the ADC population pipeline in order to fix some stream parsing issues, and gave the barometer a massive overhaul. The baro now uses a non-blocking, non-circular DMA setup that relies on a semi-interrupt-driven task call rather than a continuous loop. This enabled me to yield in the middle of the function, and call back later as soon as DMA is finished transferring. I also fixed a massive bug in the DMA setup: the DMA_SxCR_HTIE and DMA_SxCR_TCIE flags were accidentally enabled for the GPS and OSD ring buffers, which would have crashed the whole RTOS by firing unhandled interrupts, causing default HAL and IRQ handlers to run. 3. Walksnail Two-Way Communication Finally, I built out the respondToVTX task to get the drone properly communicating with the Walksnail VTX. Instead of just blindly sending video data out, this sets up true two-way communication over asynchronous UART. By writing a persistent byte-by-byte state machine, the flight controller can now safely parse incoming requests from the VTX without dropping half-packets, allowing me to send back live stick positions and armed status for the OSD menus. The only thing left to do now is handle persistent CLI storage, the logToBlackBox task, integrating the semi-interrupt pipeline with telemetryTX and the OSD, and a few other system tweaks. After that the RTOS will be 100% ready to fly the actual drone.
1. Scheduler Hardening and Task Discovery Spent part of this session making the RTOS scheduler itself more robust. I added a findTaskByName() function so interrupt-driven task lookups happen dynamically instead of relying on hardcoded task indices, which was a fragile setup just waiting to break the moment task registration order changed. Alongside that, I wrapped every one of those lookups with lambdas that throw a proper warning if a task canāt be found, so a missing task fails loudly instead of silently dereferencing a null pointer somewhere downstream. 2. Blocking vs Non-Blocking Scheduled Tasks After a lot of painful debugging, I traced a string of issues (including interrupt tasks silently failing to fire and scheduled tasks stepping on each other) back to non-blocking statements Iād introduced inside scheduled tasks in the previous devlog. I ended up taking those out and reverting scheduled tasks fully back to blocking, which is genuinely what the scheduled zone was designed for in the first place: tasks that donāt need to run in polynomial time and can safely block without putting the drone at risk of crashing. Once that was sorted, I converted the raw USART byte-pushing into a blocking DMA system instead, so streaming is handled by DMA hardware rather than manually pushed byte-by-byte over USART. 3. Flight Loop Refactor and VTX Communication On the flight logic side, I refactored flightLoop() to use lambdas and a state machine so I would never have to yield in the middle of my tasks (which was used previousely for zeroing motor outputs). I also converted the error handling into a proper state machine, so different types of warnings can be caught and handled distinctly instead of lumping every issue into one path, and turned on full debug printing whenever the system is running. Last but not least, I built out a dedicated injector for respondToVTX so I can properly test and simulate VTX communication going forward. 4. Real Hardware Testing Since, I am almost 100% done with the RTOS I bought two NUCLEO-F756ZGās which will serve as testing the 100% production code rather than the simulation version. I bought two so that one of the boards will be running the real RTOS code, testing DMA reading from USART, SPI, and emitting real motor signals, while the second will be emulating all of my peripherals. When the boards come, if the code does work, it will also mean that the real PCBās will also work when my friend finishes with them. 5. Next Steps As of now there are a few issues with the double preempt system (for the interrupt tasks) I designed a while back, so I will need to debug that before they arrive. Right now before the boards arrive, I will be finishing up the RTOS blocking DMA pipelines (stripping out IRQ, removing NVIC etc. for scheduled tasks), and performing a bunch of baseline testing in order to prove that the RTOS is capable of flying an actual drone!
For the past couple weeks I have been mostly refining small bugs, which were originally rendering the RTOS usless, as well as refactoring the code for simplicity rather than elegancy. 1. Transition to Actual Hardware Renode is great for simulation, but it ended up hiding a bunch of race conditions in the population methods and the main scheduler that led to no code actually running during the IRQ handler calls. I spent a lot of time securing those resources and finally got the scheduler mostly finished up. Also, I decided to just take out the double preempts entirely since they were adding way too much complexity for absolutely zero speed benefits in practice (plus they were creating detrimental but rare race conditions). 2. Code Refactor To make things run a bit more consistent, I restructured how the control loops operate. I ended up merging the dShotGeneration task with the parent IMU control loop, so now everything from reading the sensors to pushing motor commands happens in one clean sequence (rather than including an unnecessary preempt). I also built out a brand new CRSF control loop to handle all the radio parsing and state machine updates in its own dedicated space (just for consistency). Lastly, while doing a final pass on the code, I realized that in my dShotGeneration helper, I had forgot to scale the values by a factor of 1/2000, as the inputs require the value to be between 0 and 1 (not 0 and 2000). 3. Final DMA Iteration The biggest relief was finally getting rid of the old blocking USART system. I finally transitioned away from manually handling the streaming by polling flags in a loop, which was tying up the processor way more than it should have. Everything has been converted over to a blocking DMA system, so the hardware can just handle all the memory transfers in the background while the CPU focuses on actually keeping the drone in the air. Overall, I think that this will be the final iteration of the RTOS DMA pipeline, as now that it is solid and works with all the edge cases, theres no need to change it. 4. Timeline With almost all the major bugs fixed, I am going to ship the project! While it is not 100% done, it will likely be as close as it will get during the timeframe of the Stardance hackathon, and with it so close, theres no reason not to ship. Anyway, I will keep the source as the main project rather than a release, so if I do end up fixing any major bugs, they will get patched either before or during project review (besides most of these bugs are only detectable on actual hardware). I will most likely finish the RTOS in the next couple weeks (by the end of October), and will finish the drivers for the ESC and RM by latest end of November (for more timing refer to the README). Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout this project (hopefully me and my friend can get this drone flying in another Hack Club Hackathon!).
Although I havenāt been able to make much progress on the project due to school over the past weeks I did manage to make some substantial project mostly with the scheduler, allowing for fairly good performance on my STM Nucleo boards, rather than it just crashing instantly. 1. Issues with the Old Design The flight controllerās RTOS scheduler wasnāt working under real hardware timing because global variables like currTaskIndex, topOfStack, and excReturn were being modified from multiple entry points simultaneously. Yield calls, interrupt handlers, and the main task-selection logic were all making independent writes to the same shared task control blocks. Whenever a hardware interrupt fired mid-write, stack pointers and exception return values were saved into the wrong taskControlBlocks slot. This created edge cases where preempted tasks were silently double-queued, state tracking completely desynchronized, and time-critical hardware events were dropped during flight. 2. Centralizing Context Switches in PendSV To eliminate these race conditions, all state-selection decisions were moved out of individual execution contexts and consolidated into decideNextTask(), which now runs exclusively inside the PendSV assembly handler. Functions like yieldCurrentTask(), decideNextInterruptTask(), and decideNextScheduledTask() no longer touch global scheduler state or choose which task runs next; they simply update local status flags like TaskState::BLOCKED or TaskState::READY inside brief __disable_irq() critical sections and trigger PendSV using SCB_ICSR_PENDSVSET_Msk. When PendSV fires, decideNextTask() saves outgoingSP and outgoingExcReturn to the active block, sets RUNNING tasks to READY, and runs a two-pass check over taskControlBlocks[]āevaluating high-priority TaskType::INTERRUPT tasks first, then TaskType::SCHEDULED tasks, and falling back to index 0 for idle. Since PendSV is the only place allowed to modify currTaskIndex, concurrent state corruption is structurally impossible.
Ships:
Phase 1 (The Custom RTOS Kernel) I am building a custom FPV drone from scratch with my friend in an attempt to achieve 200 mph . At those speeds, standard super loops are far too slow, as a single microsecond of lag means the drone travels feet before making a PID correction. To solve this, I built a custom, hybrid cooperative/preemptive Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) from scratch for the ARM Cortex-M7 (STM32F7)! What Was Challenging? The absolute hardest part of this phase was writing the low-level assembly context switcher ( PendSV_Handler.S ). Hacking the ARM Cortex-M7 registers to physically hot-swap stack pointers ( PSP ) mid-execution without crashing the CPU or corrupting the program state was a massive headache. I had to ensure that when an asynchronous preemption event fires, the assembly code perfectly preserves the execution registers ( R4-R11 plus the hardware-stacked registers), jumps to the high-priority task, and then seamlessly restores the background task right where it left off. Getting the compiler-enforced task overloading working so the kernel cleanly separates periodic tasks from raw interrupts was another huge hurdle, but it makes the whole codebase infinitely more robust. Want to Test It or Write Your Own Tasks? You donāt need physical hardware to watch this run! Iāve packaged the entire project with a Renode simulation script. You can run the interactive emulator with a single command to see the preemption scheduler hijack our counter task live, or you can jump into the user sandbox file and write your own custom tasks. Check out the GitHub Repository to Run the Demo! The README has a quick 5-minute setup guide to get you compiling and simulating your own code in no time.
200 MPH Drone RTOS: How it went Simulation to Silicon! When I published the first major update for this project at the 15-hour mark, I essentially had a proof-of-concept. I had managed to write a custom hybrid cooperative/preemptive scheduler and get an ARM Cortex-M7 (on the STM32f756VGTx) assembly context switcher functioning inside the Renode simulator. Although this looked like a massive leap, the project had barely started. Over 100 hours of development have gone into this project since then. The transition from a simulated kernel to a bare-metal flight controller capable of keeping a 200 MPH drone in the air required stripping the system down to its bare components, rewriting the memory architecture, and debugging some of the most frustrating hardware faults I have ever encountered-especially whenever the project just crashed, leaving me no traces as to what went wrong. Software Limitations The biggest turning point was realizing that software simulation can only take you so far. Renode is an amazing tool, but it hid a massive amount of race conditions and timing flaws that only exposed themselves when I finally flashed the code to physical STM32F756 Nucleo board. Sometimes, the MCU would have to reboot every 2 seconds. I spent dozens of hours tracking down massive architectural bugs. One of the worst was a context-switching fault where floating-point math was corrupting the return address in the CPU registers, causing the processor to execute raw garbage data. To fix this, I had to completely restructure the boot sequence and overhaul the memory management. I moved away from static arrays to a dynamic per-task stack allocation system, and implemented a dual-guard memory system. Arguably, this was the most important change as it allowed me to debug tasks way quicker as I instantly could know when the canary values were corrupted. Overhauling the Data Pipelines In order to avoid the 10ms delay of my original blocking pipline (for data transfer), I entirely rewrote the hardware data pipelines multiple times to use a semi-blocking, circular Direct Memory Access (DMA) architecture. Instead of the processor handling the data transfer, the hardware itself moves the bytes from the sensors directly into memory in the background. The DMA streams now trigger precise interrupts at the halfway and full-transfer points, allowing the RTOS to safely parse incoming radio packets and sensor reads without ever risking data overwrites or blocking the main flight loop. Building a Flight Controller I integrated Betaflightās Actual Rates algorithm with custom expo curves, ensuring that physical stick inputs map perfectly to target velocities. I built a custom SPI driver to pull 24-bit raw pressure and temperature data from a BMP390 barometer, passing it through hypsometric formulas to calculate altitude. For video and telemetry, I moved away from raw UART strings and implemented native MSP DisplayPort communication (for true digital Walksnail Avatar connection). I also built an interactive USB command-line interface. Instead of having to recompile and re-flash the firmware every time a PID value needs to be adjusted, I can plug into the board, pull up a terminal, and manually tune gains, remap CRSF radio channels, or adjust IMU orientation offsets in real time. Final Version The last few weeks have been about refinement and consistency, removing race conditions and overall polishing the code. Now that the RTOS is fully functional, the only things to add are extra features, like a permanent + more expanded CLI, as well as finishing the external RM and linking the ESC drivers. As these are pretty insignificant, I have linked the source of this shipment to the Github project rather than a specific release so that I can update these during review!...

I built the basic structure of my OS. I changed the size of images and even rounded one, I changed the colour of the text and added a new font.
Made the welcome window closeable and openable and DRAGGABLE. Decided I will make this OS coffee themed, also a fun thing from the tutorial was adding time and date. On the bottom bar I used :hover to make the colour of words change.
I almost made a coffee themed notetaking app, moved almost all styling from inline to css. I spent half of my time looking for mistakes in my code because I COULD NOT FIND THE 1 LETTER WHICH I ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED. Next time I will finish the note app. And I need a break from java script so maybe I will make designs for icons and buttons and other things ā
I mostly finished the note app (I only need to add a way to create new notes). When clicking on the app icon the background gets selected and on another click the app opens. Added MY function handleNoteTap it is similair to the tutorial, but a bit different and it helps you see which note you selected. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////This isnāt related to my OS so you can skip it. I was really busy the last month so did not manage to continue working on this OS until now but I think that I will have a couple of free days to finish this project.
Added a slot machine app, that lets you play for your coffee beans. Used new functions like math.random and onclick, I realised I really like making some little logic thingies using math, so next apps will probably also be little games. This app completes my webOS 1 journey which I will continue on webOS2. š
I made a coffee map app. Actually it was pretty simple. I found the map in google, copied url, added it to an iframe, then changed the size of it and after a few changes to the iframe left placement, got rid of the side scrolling bar and navbar, so the map doesnt look as clustered. I will try to make a game š® next, but I have not decided what I will try going for. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Currently Iām thinking about making a clicker game connected to the slot machine š°, that uses the same beans and lets you upgrade the machine further. But weāll see..
I started my clicker app, it has 1 upgrade available, and it works from the same coffee beans as the slot machine. (Middle explains some of the new things I learned.) ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// To link the amount of beans I used querrySelectorALL.forEachā¦ It is a really helpful thingy because I donāt have to use multiple ids. To update my clicker info I used the same principle used in tutorial, but I added my variables in it so they change the values automatically and I made the texts in a function, to make them easier to update. I will try adding the other upgrade buttons in one function, just like opening windows is one. Next thing Iām going to try implementing is that the apps can be minimized/maximized, and that open apps are visible on the task bar just like in windows. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I will not make any progress for about a week or more, because I am going to be busy with lots (I mean lots) of other life stuff. I hope you have an excitingly wonderful dayāā!
Finished making my coffee clicker appš®. I really enjoyed making the logic behind it because it was just pure math, playing it made me feel addicted thatās why the video is sped up. This app concludes my WebOS 2 journey, I might continue this project and make other cool apps, maybe Iāll add a roasted coffee bean shop.
Ships:
I made an operating system called coffee-os. It features a working clock, coffee os welcome screen (open frome bottom left corner text), notes app and slot machine. The most challenging part was making all the values that are being updated in javascript update in html. You can read more from github ReadMe
I made coffee OS an operating system similair to windows, but it is also a game? Yes it is really fun to mess around with the coffee clicker. The most challenging part of making it was to update the innerHTML variables in javascript inside my content that is stored there. I am really happy how well the coffee theme looks on the website and I really like the little secret overlay that blocks you from doing anything if you beat the OS. More info in README š...

When first loading it up, a window titled āOrbitalā pops up, and you will see a star right at the center. You can change the window dimensions however you would like, whether fullscreen or resized small. This is where the fun starts: I spent tireless hours implementing a slingshot mechanism where you can intuitively and easily launch āorbitals,ā as I like to call them. You can think of these as small planets that you can send to orbit around each other and around bigger stars, masses, and objects that you create yourself. The starting star is just to get you going. Controls and Features: ā¢ Navigation: Use the WASD keys and/or arrow keys to navigate around this 2D world and find different orbits across the gigantic canvas. It does not have an end (unless you spend 10 hours of unemployment trying to find it, but I am sure you are not that stubborn). ā¢ Mass Adjustment: Use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to change the mass of the objects you throw into the simulation. ā¢ Physics: It runs on full n-body physics; nothing is hard-coded and everything is dynamic. No matter how quirky and interesting your orbits are, they will be solely and originally yours. ā¢ Visuals: The colors change up every once in a while. I really tried to make it as minimalist and physics-identifying as possible. ā¢ Reset: Press the R key on your keyboard to reset the world and start from a fresh universe, marked by the reset star that kickstarts everything again. I am really proud of the n-body physics because it was surprisingly manageable and cool to work on. Where I really struggled was on advanced merging. Normally, if objects are touching, you can simply merge them. But when objects move super fast, one frame they are far away, and by the next frame, high velocity math teleports them right past or into the other object. If you slingshot a planet relatively fast, it could easily glitch and teleport through objects. To fix this, I had to calculate whether the path the object took from frame 0 to frame 1 intersected any other objects along its trajectory. That was an especially hard, albeit depressing challenge, but nevertheless, it was encountered and defeated so you could enjoy astronomical bliss.

I built Orbital , a 2D gravitational physics sandbox created entirely in Python using only standard library modules ( turtle and tkinter ). Orbits are not hardcoded; they emerge dynamically from Newtonās Law of Universal Gravitation calculated between every single body frame-by-frame. You can interactively slingshot planets into orbit, pan a camera infinitely around the universe using WASD or Arrow keys, adjust the laws of physics on the fly using a Tkinter-based HUD, and watch planets collide and merge under the conservation of momentum. What was challenging? The Coordinates Separation: Early on, a planetās physics position was its drawing position. To build a panning camera, I had to decouple themācreating a 9-element list structure to track world coordinates privately while subtracting camera offsets only for rendering. The āTunnelingā Bug: Fast slingshotted planets would frequently phase straight through the central star between frames. I solved this by implementing Continuous Collision Detection (CCD)āusing vector dot-product projection to check if the line segment traveled during a frame intersected the star. Singularity Prevention: As merging planets got infinitesimally close, the gravity force equation approached divide-by-zero, creating infinite force that would sling bodies off screen at lightspeed. I had to write custom logic to disable gravity between two bodies the exact frame they overlap. A Responsive HUD: Nesting Tkinter widgets on a Turtle ScrolledCanvas caused nesting errors. I resolved this by passing the raw screen._root as the parent, and binding the canvas <Configure> event to dynamically slide the widgets so they stay pinned to the top-right corner when resizing. What am I proud of? Conserving Density: When two bodies merge, the new objectās size is calculated using sqrt(r1Ā² + r2Ā²) rather than just adding the radii. This ensures area is conserved, keeping physical density mathematically consistent. Conservation of Momentum: If you launch two equal-mass planets head-on at the same speed, they will perfectly cancel out and stop dead in space upon impact, exactly as real-world physics dictates. What should people know so they can test my project? Slingshot: Click, drag, and release to fling planets into the cosmos. HUD Controls: Adjust the Gravity slider to warp orbits in real-time, and slide the Mass slider to change the size and weight of the next planet you launch. Color Picker: Click the color button to cycle the launching color (the button text dynamically updates to show what is selected). Navigation: Use WASD or Arrow keys to pan the camera around. Rebuilding: Press the Reset button to wipe the board and start a clean universe. No Python installed? Zero-dependency, standalone executables for Windows , macOS , and Linux are automatically built and attached directly to the GitHub Release!", "repo": "https://github.com/SameRainbows/Starshell", "demo": "https://github.com/SameRainbows/Orbital/releases/tag/v1.0.0"}]...

Get the coordinates of the target object you want to check for a potential merge.

Since you donāt know itās nerfed, you wonāt notice there is a higher capacity. In our case, a higher capacity actually means friction. Donāt get me wrong: itās not particle friction, because they go super fast. Itās friction when trying to get orbits to work. Repository Tweaks: Calling the script from_scratch.py was killing me, so I found something simpler: orbital.py. Itās much better. I updated the GitHub repository so that the current release is orbital.py (the refactored version). While main.py (the previous version) has a few more features right now, orbital.py is much cleaner. Main.py was more of a learning run, and I feel like Iām bringing my A-game with this new refactor.

In reality, the area of the circles should add up: A_new = A1 + A2 . By plugging in the area formula Ļ Ć rĀ² , we get Ļ Ć r_newĀ² = (Ļ Ć r1Ā²) + (Ļ Ć r2Ā²) . The Ļ cancels out completely, leaving r_new = math.sqrt(r1Ā² + r2Ā²) . I updated the collision code with this, and now the combined masses have physically accurate sizes.To make this look right, I also fixed the visual scaling issue. Previously, every particle rendered at shapesize(1, 1) regardless of its actual mass or radius. I changed the instantiator so that a bodyās shapesize dynamically scales with its physics radius: self.turt.shapesize(self.radius / 10, self.radius / 10) . Now when objects collide, you can actually see the merged planet grow on the screen.Lastly, I added a quick reset button .

It works as I intended, but not physically truly. Right now, it adds the radii of the circles themselves. If you think about it, thatās physically wrong because thereās a big difference between adding the areas of the circles versus their radii. Thatās something I want to get right, so the next time Iām working on it, Iāll make sure to fix it so that we are adding the areas of the circles rather than their radii. I also found a bit of a problem where the merged objects themselves have a shape size of (1, 1). Thatās not right because if you merge two objects with shape size 1, youād expect the new shape size to be 2. Right now, no matter how many objects you merge, it still stays at 1, resulting in a very, very dense circle.

It was very sloppy, and you had to keep up with what each index meant.2. With an OOP version, you just write object1.mass , object1.x , or object1.vx . Each and every line is more intuitive.I also worked more on the planet spawning . Remember, this is a new file with a different perspective of trying to remake this in an OOP sense, using classes and the benefits that ensue from them.Additionally, today I implemented the balancing of the canvas differences in Tkinter and Turtle :- In Turtle, the (0, 0) coordinate is directly in the middle of the screen .- In Tkinter, itās at the absolute top left of the screen.You have to make sure that all the formulas and all the logic get the correct version, which in my project is the Turtle version .

The planet doesnāt know itās supposed to go in a circle; I donāt tell it to trace a circle. It just responds to the pull of the star every single frame. The circle is what falls out of the math when the initial velocity is balanced just right. One of the trickiest moments was realizing my gravitational constant (G = 1) made the force so smallāaround 0.0004āthat compared to my velocity of two units per frame, the planet just flew away in a straight line. I couldnāt see any curve at all, let alone an orbit. Cranking the gravity up to something like 1,000 to 1,600 (found by experimentation) made the orbits visible. That moment when the blue dot actually curved and came back around in a full orbit felt very satisfying. Next up, I want multiple bodies that interact with each other, not just a fixed point (aka a star). Follow Along!
Devlog #2 ā N-Body Physics Today I implemented dynamic physics and dynamic moving. Basically, before, the move functionāthe function on a one-millisecond timer that updated everythingāwas extremely hard-coded. It just used the data of the existing two turtles (the two bodies I made myself), and it definitely wasnāt scalable. So that was what I tackled today. Now, the main function that runs our whole physics simulation is a tad bit less torturous.
I finally added slingshotting! Basically, the planets arenāt hidden in the code itself anymore; they are right at your fingertips. You can spawn planets just by clicking and dragging. Itās that simple. This was a feature I wanted for a very long time, and Iām really satisfied with how it turned out.
Added camera movement with WASD. Now, the objects that run out of your view arenāt lost forever: you can catch up to them with only your keyboard and a few fingers.
Today I added merging. Now, objects that get too close to each other donāt do weird physics-breaking stuff. They intuitively merge into an object with a total mass, total area, and a new velocity depending on the previous velocities. This way, you can actually build complex systems that fall apart in at least an ordered way. There was a slight problem if the objects were going too fast: because of their speed, one frame they would be behind each other and the next frame they would be ahead of each other. I had to do some math to see if the path they took went through the object we were checking. That was a very fun, intuitive piece to work on, and merging now works very intuitively and very well.
This is not a full devlog. Because Iām typing this on my phone. Came to say that Iām working on adding a minimalistic UI to the project, like small buttons and maybe sliders for mass and color control. Using tkinter, the underlying library in which turtle was built. I donāt have any screenshots with me, so enjoy this photo from my gallery, shot at the beach at night.
Today I added some UI, so we have some actually good interactive elements. We can use sliders to, in real time, update our gravity. And I also added a reset button that basically lets you clean up all the messes and start from a fresh place.
Hey, remember the UI I had in earlier? Well, when you change the window size, it just stays hard-coded. If you maximize your window, thereās suddenly a piece of UI that was supposed to help you navigate the simulator thatās in your way. So, I did some math so that the UI is at the perfect top right of any shape and size of the windows you make. Itās a dynamic UI layout, and itās dynamic enough to survive window resizing. Pretty cool.
The UI was a very wretched default gray, and to be honest, it didnāt look so visually appealing. Mine still isnāt all peaches and cream, but itās less of a distraction and more of a subtlety in the grand scheme of things. I changed this to a better, harmonizing dark charcoal color that I think goes pretty well with the minimalist design of all-white Orbitals and a pure black background.
Hey, this is another mini devlog. I just wanted to say that while waiting for my initial ship to get reviewed, I was working on reviewing my current code and remembering how every part interacted. Iām doing this by making a from-scratch.py file where I just try to build the general project from the ground up with my direct understanding and recall of it, without looking at every line of code. This is like a mini side quest in the background so that as the file gets big, I donāt lose where Iām going. Right now, it just has the basic functions like distance and force, and has two Python turtles set to circles with different colors. Iām going to build this from the ground up and really focus on the struggle and pain through the process. I want to maximize my gains from this project this way.
Today I spent all my time on from_scratch.py to really get to understand the physics of it all. Before, I just relied on a few formulas.Thatās why Iām going to try and maximize my gains from this project by re-understanding all the logic and trying to write it from scratch, using only my notes and not looking at any AI or code from main.py .Itās going good! I added quite a few functions:- A distance function- A force function- An angle function (all of these take two objects, by the way ā I still have the same objs list, which is a list of lists)- A velocity update function called velo_update that takes an object , a force , angle , and mass , and updates the velocities of those objects depending on their forces, angles, and massMaybe I can cut back on mass . I donāt know why I added it, since we can already get it from the objs list with our object parameter. Iāll look into that.I also created the scaffold for an update function, which is going to be the main function . I added screen.ontimer(update, 10) to run it every 10 milliseconds. Itās just the main scaffold for now, but Iām really focusing on the logic of it all.
Actively working on making Orbital (via the from_scratch.py file) more object-oriented. I think OOP (object-oriented programming) will be a great addition to Orbital because we have lots of stuff that can be simplified. These could be new particles, like new planets, and I think grouping everything into classes would be a better way to handle these. Right now, our sling function just does the same thing again and again. A class that could be called any time we want to make a new particle is probably the way to go. Iāll keep you guys updated.
Welcome! Today, I fully migrated to the object-oriented programming architecture. Earlier, the class wasnāt really full OOP; it was just a hidden list factory that appended the stuff via a class instead of doing it manually. I wanted to change that because this is going to be a refactor in an OOP perspective , and thatās what I did.I made sure that all the formulas used the latest changes:1. Earlier, they would use the index of the objects inside the objs list of lists. It would be something like object1 and the index of whichever element it wants to access, like mass , radius , velocity , or coordinates. It was very sloppy, and you had to keep up with what each index meant.2. With an OOP version, you just write object1.mass , object1.x , or object1.vx . Each and every line is more intuitive.I also worked more on the planet spawning . Remember, this is a new file with a different perspective of trying to remake this in an OOP sense, using classes and the benefits that ensue from them.Additionally, today I implemented the balancing of the canvas differences in Tkinter and Turtle :- In Turtle, the (0, 0) coordinate is directly in the middle of the screen .- In Tkinter, itās at the absolute top left of the screen.You have to make sure that all the formulas and all the logic get the correct version, which in my project is the Turtle version . I added and worked out the logic that would make sure that balance is kept.
Lots of stuff today: Camera movement: I added camera movement to our new refractor. Better version of the sling: The older one just expected you to press, drag, and release without seeing much of an indicator. While that works if you know the program a bit, I think a direct, laser-esque pointer that shows you actively as youāre pressing, dragging, and releasing is more intuitive and easier to work with. So I added that. Now we have intuitive camera movement and intuitive spawning. For this refactor, we wonāt have any UI. All the sliders for gravity and mass will be per keyboard or hotkey.
Hey, I added merging, but itās āmerging out of hellā because I made a very unphysically true and crude (if youād call it that), but working prototype of merge_collisions and the merge function itself. It works as I intended, but not physically truly. Right now, it adds the radii of the circles themselves. If you think about it, thatās physically wrong because thereās a big difference between adding the areas of the circles versus their radii. Thatās something I want to get right, so the next time Iām working on it, Iāll make sure to fix it so that we are adding the areas of the circles rather than their radii. I also found a bit of a problem where the merged objects themselves have a shape size of (1, 1). Thatās not right because if you merge two objects with shape size 1, youād expect the new shape size to be 2. Right now, no matter how many objects you merge, it still stays at 1, resulting in a very, very dense circle. Iām going to change that so we add the areas themselves, and have that new, bigger area update the visual representation of those astronomical objects. Iāll keep you guys updated. See you next time.
I fixed the āmerging from hellā. The first issue was the radius calculation. When two circles merge, simply adding their radii ( r1 + r2 ) is physically wrong because the combined area grows way too fast. In reality, the area of the circles should add up: A_new = A1 + A2 . By plugging in the area formula Ļ Ć rĀ² , we get Ļ Ć r_newĀ² = (Ļ Ć r1Ā²) + (Ļ Ć r2Ā²) . The Ļ cancels out completely, leaving r_new = math.sqrt(r1Ā² + r2Ā²) . I updated the collision code with this, and now the combined masses have physically accurate sizes.To make this look right, I also fixed the visual scaling issue. Previously, every particle rendered at shapesize(1, 1) regardless of its actual mass or radius. I changed the instantiator so that a bodyās shapesize dynamically scales with its physics radius: self.turt.shapesize(self.radius / 10, self.radius / 10) . Now when objects collide, you can actually see the merged planet grow on the screen.Lastly, I added a quick reset button . Pressing the R key runs a function that loops through the current objects, hides all their turtles to prevent visual ghosts, clears the main objects list, resets the camera back to center coordinates, and spawns a fresh central star
I made some more intuitive user changes: Slingshot Dampening: Now, the slingshot isnāt like an Angry Bird slingshot that propels your particles to the other side of the universe (though you could do that if you want, just open the code). All the slingshot coordinates and values are now multiplied by 0.2. Weāre nerfing it a lot, but it seems more intuitive that way. Since you donāt know itās nerfed, you wonāt notice there is a higher capacity. In our case, a higher capacity actually means friction. Donāt get me wrong: itās not particle friction, because they go super fast. Itās friction when trying to get orbits to work. Repository Tweaks: Calling the script from_scratch.py was killing me, so I found something simpler: orbital.py. Itās much better. I updated the GitHub repository so that the current release is orbital.py (the refactored version). While main.py (the previous version) has a few more features right now, orbital.py is much cleaner. Main.py was more of a learning run, and I feel like Iām bringing my A-game with this new refactor. Look and Feel: I really liked the black background and white orbitals of the previous main.py version, so I changed the clinical-seeming style of from_scratch.py. I scrapped that look and made sure the new orbital.py has some taste.
Today I added zooming that works with scrolling up and scrolling down appropriately: when you scroll down, everything gets smaller, and when you scroll up, everything gets bigger. Mass and gravity, of course, stay the same. I made sure that the sling function (basically spawning new orbitals) works flawlessly. Our aim functionāwhich draws that mini press-and-drag indicator to make it easier to see where you are spawning orbitalsāis also working with both camera differentiation and zoom differentiation. This way, you can zoom all the way out and still spawn orbitals in the correct way, or zoom all the way in and spawn them super close up. All the physics and rendering works beautifully.
Added some instructions to make it easier, added more colors, and Iām now working on making more rigorous merge logic.
I finally got the complex merging done. Before, when an orbital was going too fast, one frame it was at the back of another orbital, and the next frame, it was in front of it. Since its velocity was so high, the radii didnāt ever collide, so it just went through other ones without merging. That was really not acceptable, so I worked a lot on making sure it works. How I did it is actually very interesting: Get the starting position of the moving object and its ending position on the next frame. Get the coordinates of the target object you want to check for a potential merge. Draw a line from where the moving object started to where it ended, and check if the target object is intersecting that line (calculating what percentage along that line the checked object sits). If it intersects, you merge them.
Added a background grid so that you get a sense of spatial bigness and tininess. You get a feel for how big and small your orbitals really are.
Today I changed the title card of the window that pops up. A few other updates: ā¢ I tweaked the final game feel a bit. ā¢ I made the initial spawning star spawn in a sort of light yellow color, and I also added that light yellow color to the colors list. ā¢ I made sure that the window of the simulation is also in dark mode, so you get more encapsulated in it.
A few cleanups on the size of the grid.
I updated the project. I was notified that it initially crashed on macOS, and the arrow keys were a bit janky on macOS as well. All of that has been completely fixed, and Iāve updated the readme and the latest code on GitHub to encompass those changes.
Ships:
Initial Ship Update (v1.0.0) What did I make? I built Orbital , a 2D gravitational physics sandbox created entirely in Python using only standard library modules ( turtle and tkinter ). Orbits are not hardcoded; they emerge dynamically from Newtonās Law of Universal Gravitation calculated between every single body frame-by-frame. You can interactively slingshot planets into orbit, pan a camera infinitely around the universe using WASD or Arrow keys, adjust the laws of physics on the fly using a Tkinter-based HUD, and watch planets collide and merge under the conservation of momentum. What was challenging? The Coordinates Separation: Early on, a planetās physics position was its drawing position. To build a panning camera, I had to decouple themācreating a 9-element list structure to track world coordinates privately while subtracting camera offsets only for rendering. The āTunnelingā Bug: Fast slingshotted planets would frequently phase straight through the central star between frames. I solved this by implementing Continuous Collision Detection (CCD)āusing vector dot-product projection to check if the line segment traveled during a frame intersected the star. Singularity Prevention: As merging planets got infinitesimally close, the gravity force equation approached divide-by-zero, creating infinite force that would sling bodies off screen at lightspeed. I had to write custom logic to disable gravity between two bodies the exact frame they overlap. A Responsive HUD: Nesting Tkinter widgets on a Turtle ScrolledCanvas caused nesting errors. I resolved this by passing the raw screen._root as the parent, and binding the canvas <Configure> event to dynamically slide the widgets so they stay pinned to the top-right corner when resizing. What am I proud of? Conserving Density: When two bodies merge, the new objectās size is calculated using sqrt(r1Ā² + r2Ā²) rather than just adding the radii. This ensures area is conserved, keeping physical density mathematically consistent. Conservation of Momentum: If you launch two equal-mass planets head-on at the same speed, they will perfectly cancel out and stop dead in space upon impact, exactly as real-world physics dictates. What should people know so they can test my project? Slingshot: Click, drag, and release to fling planets into the cosmos. HUD Controls: Adjust the Gravity slider to warp orbits in real-time, and slide the Mass slider to change the size and weight of the next planet you launch. Color Picker: Click the color button to cycle the launching color (the button text dynamically updates to show what is selected). Navigation: Use WASD or Arrow keys to pan the camera around. Rebuilding: Press the Reset button to wipe the board and start a clean universe. No Python installed? Zero-dependency, standalone executables for Windows , macOS , and Linux are automatically built and attached directly to the GitHub Release!
I built Orbital, the all-in-one project that encompasses whatever you need from a 2D astronomical simulator. When first loading it up, a window titled āOrbitalā pops up, and you will see a star right at the center. You can change the window dimensions however you would like, whether fullscreen or resized small. This is where the fun starts: I spent tireless hours implementing a slingshot mechanism where you can intuitively and easily launch āorbitals,ā as I like to call them. You can think of these as small planets that you can send to orbit around each other and around bigger stars, masses, and objects that you create yourself. The starting star is just to get you going. Controls and Features: ā¢ Navigation: Use the WASD keys and/or arrow keys to navigate around this 2D world and find different orbits across the gigantic canvas. It does not have an end (unless you spend 10 hours of unemployment trying to find it, but I am sure you are not that stubborn). ā¢ Mass Adjustment: Use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to change the mass of the objects you throw into the simulation. ā¢ Physics: It runs on full n-body physics; nothing is hard-coded and everything is dynamic. No matter how quirky and interesting your orbits are, they will be solely and originally yours. ā¢ Visuals: The colors change up every once in a while. I really tried to make it as minimalist and physics-identifying as possible. ā¢ Reset: Press the R key on your keyboard to reset the world and start from a fresh universe, marked by the reset star that kickstarts everything again. I am really proud of the n-body physics because it was surprisingly manageable and cool to work on. Where I really struggled was on advanced merging. Normally, if objects are touching, you can simply merge them. But when objects move super fast, one frame they are far away, and by the next frame, high velocity math teleports them right past or into the other object. If you slingshot a planet relatively fast, it could easily glitch and teleport through objects. To fix this, I had to calculate whether the path the object took from frame 0 to frame 1 intersected any other objects along its trajectory. That was an especially hard, albeit depressing challenge, but nevertheless, it was encountered and defeated so you could enjoy astronomical bliss. Thank you!...

Devlogs:
Hi everyone! This is my first ever devlog and Iām so excited! Iāve only just started my project, for now itās called Exopossibilities. Iām planning on using an API to have data on exoplanets then users can see what would happen to a human on a specific exoplanets. Iām planning to use a second API to have information on how the human body is affected by certain environmental factors(pressure, extreme temps, etc.).
I have the API of exoplanets from NASA in my project and added a search bar. Next step is to add clickable cards to show the data of each planet, then filters for searching, etc. The API I used has info on each planetās name, radius, mass, distance from earth, and equilibrium temp. Iāll get around to better CSS at the end, right now itās kind of sad looking. Then Iāll tie the info to the effect on the human body.
I finished the filters and detailed blocks for each exoplanet! Next step is each exoplanet getting an individual page with more details.
Finished the first draft of my website. I put an example image of what one of the planet pages looks like. I will probably do a little more CSS work and maybe add some new features but Iām pretty happy with what I have so far. This is my first website that Iāve made myself. Itās also my first time using APIs in a project which was super cool.
I give you fonts ! And Iām done! (for now). I want to try and add a cool feature and do some other random stuff at some point but ta-da!
A lot of people who reviewed my ship mentioned all the planet pages having the same image - which is totally fair. I felt the same way (and so did my sister), so I decided to do something about it. Most exoplanets just simply donāt have photos, so itās not like I could put a photo of each planet. I decided to put different photos for different types of planets (terrestrial, super earth, neptune-like, gas giant). Hope you guys like it!
So ā¦ I added the images to the discover page, which makes it less boring. The planets are sorted into 6 categories, each with a different photo. I also finally sorted my files. Yay! I wasnāt quite sure how I should organize them - like do I put css in one folder and html in another? So I left some unorganized for now.
Update - Changes Since My Ship Photos! As I mentioned in my last 2 devlogs, I changed the planetsā photos. I used to have a single blue planet that was on every planetās page and that seemed boring, so I changed it. Most exoplanets donāt actually have photos, so I took a handful of photos and sorted the planets into types. Now, there is a photo for each type and the planetās corresponding photo is on its planet page and its card in the discover page. I have a photo for each type: terrestrial, super-earth, Neptune-like, mini-Neptune, gas giant, and hot Jupiter. Mini-Neptunes and hot Jupiters are really just subsections of Neptune-like and gas giants, respectively, but I decided to give them their own photo anyways. Random Planet Button! I added a button right next to the filters that brings the user to a random planet page obeying the filters that they set. I thought itās a fun little feature to make my site a bit more fun. Hopefully, Iāll be adding a couple other features too. I made like some minor CSS changes to the filters and stuff. Barely noticeable but I think that little part looks better than before. Yay! More to come!
I added a new feature! A quiz that matches the userās preferences with exoplanets. The user answers 5 questions and gets a collection of exoplanets that match those preferences!
Introducing Planet of the Day and some neat CSS changes! I added a planet of the day on the home page which is clickable just like the cards on the discover page. I also added skeleton loading states for the list of planets on the discover page. I noticed that it was consistently taking time to load and render the planets (not surprisingly) so I added it to make it feel more polished and less sharp. And yes, the screenshot of the loading states was timed so that I caught them on the screen before the planets appeared.
I APOLOGIZE FOR THE 18 COMMITS THAT ARE ALL FOR THE SAME THING. So I decided to style the site for mobile as well as laptop because it worked okay on mobile but was very zoomed out and stuff. So itās not like I have vs code on my phone and there probably is an easier way but I didnāt want to figure out getting a live server on my phone so I kept changing the CSS, committing, checking it on my phone, and repeat. But hey - now it looks better for mobile!
So I was thinking about like what I could add to my site and came up with some fun ideas. First, I added a formula (from NASAās website) to calculate the ESI (Earth Similarity Index) of each exoplanet. Then, I made certain exoplanets āmedalistsā. Basically if a exoplanet is like unique in a quantitative way (with the data Iām already using) then it is awarded a medal. Some examples are largest/smallest mass, highest/lowest ESI Score, etc. In total, right now, there are 11 exoplanets with medals (out of like 6,000 total). Then I added having a medal to the filters and connected it to a button on the home screen.
Guys I need help. I have a question and I canāt figure out what I should do. I have a whole bunch of files for my website Iāve been making and I donāt know how Iām supposed to organize my files. You may be thinking, this isnāt really a problem. Well I guess youāre right in the sense that it doesnāt affect how my website works. BUT itās like lowkey making me anxious because my file list keeps growing and whatnot. I tried to start sorting the files. I have folders for the JS files, the JSON files, and the images. Do I keep this pattern and make a folder for the html files and another for css files? I guess my real question is this: Is there a conventional way of organizing them that Iām supposed to know? If not, is there like a best way to do it?
I added a glossary. When my sister was looking at my project I realized thereās a lot of terms some people might not know so I made a page explaining those terms. I also have been keeping my project updated to work on mobile.
Added a navigation side bar menu! Not in love with the styling, so maybe I will change up the CSS to make it prettier. But overall it works fully and is much more helpful than navigating through the site using home and back buttons.
I added a print button on the planet page! Next to the side navigation button, thereās a button with the print symbol that allows the user to print that planetās page. Lot of styling went into it to figure out how to get it to show the background image and colors and stuff but overall it was pretty simple to make.
So - another (not done) new feature. This one is kind of different. I found ra and dec values in the NASA archive Iāve been using and came up with this idea. My original idea was to make a map of the exoplanet and then you could search for one and it would find it on the map. There are sites that do same type of thing like Stellarium or the app Night Sky. I might do that or something like that later but this is what I have for now. Itās basically the math and JS that the map would use, just not made into a map. Iām hoping to make this more sophisticated than it currently is but Iām not sure quite how far Iāll be able to take it. I hope that the end product for this feature turns out well. Edit: When I say map I mean like a 360 view of the night sky from the ground type thing (you can look at Stellarium to understand what I mean if you are curious).
Iāve been playing around with the locator page. For now I have it like this, where the info is entered and it tells the user where (better CSS than last devlog in my opinion). I donāt know if I can make it into a whole map thing mostly because I would probably use SVG but I donāt really have any experience with that. Anyway, if I have tons of extra time I might try that. For now, Iām just fixing the styling on mobile.
Introducing Favorites! Used local storage so Iām not taking anyoneās info lol. It allows you to heart any planet and filter to favorites on the discover page. This way you can keep track of the planets you like! I like finding the matches of planets I like using the quiz then favoriting those!
I added some statistics on a page! Itās not much but it was fun to make and I like it. Thereās 6 different charts that each show different data. I think itās cool to see and fits in with the ādiscoverā theme. Currently Iām working on making it work well on mobile because rn it looks like it needs fixing. When Iām done I think Iām ready to ship!
Ready to Ship!! I havenāt done much since the last devlog, just some random fixes, polishing whatever. But Iāve added a bunch since my last ship that Iāll talk more about in my ship itself!
Ships:
I created a website and named it Exopossibilities, basically blending the word possibilities into the word Exoplanets. On my website, the user can navigate to the Discover page, where they see a list of every exoplanet in NASAās archive(over 5,000). They can then explore info on each planet, search for a specific planet, filter to see planets that fit specific criteria, i.e. Each box containing the planetās name and info is able to be clicked on, which sends the user to a page focused solely on that planet. Each planetās page displays the planetās info, how long it would take to get to the planet, how living on the planet would affect the human body, and what would be needed to live on that planet, if possible at all. Iām super proud because this was all super unfamiliar to me. This was my first website, it was my first time using APIs, my first time using JS at all, i.e. As expected, I ran into some problems (for example, sometimes the list of planets just wouldnāt load: yes it was a very silly mistake of forgetting to rename one of the filters in my JS file) but was able to troubleshoot/debug to get everything working. I made this project because Iām interested in aerospace engineering and in biomedical engineering, so the idea behind the project was to blend the two by exploring the effects on the human body of living on different exoplanets. I hope you guys enjoy my project!
Hi everyone! This is my first ever website Iāve made by myself and Iām super proud to share it with you guys! Itās called Exopossibilities (Exoplanet and Possibilities blended into one). It uses a whole bunch of data from NASAās Exoplanet Archive and presents in a fun way. I started this summer by making the base of the website (the home, discover, and planet pages), and have since added a bunch of fun features! I used Claude for help a lot with JS at the beginning, but have since learned how to do most of it myself, which Iām super proud of. The point of this project is to bring together my interests and present them in a way that is fun for other people to explore and learn from. Thereās a quiz to match exoplanets to your preferences, a glossary for words you donāt know, and so much more! I put a lot of work into this project and really hope you enjoy it!...

Added more to the UI layout, including a settings (with accordian sections) and new tasks (currently empty) page!
Added an item input field with a bottom bar with utilities in it!
Added a bottom bar to the task input including some utility functions like move up and down, a sample highlight that can get modified with the + and - timer buttons and a scrollbar!
Added a parser for conversation backend data and an options list and text box to display it in!
Dramatically improved the backend for the conversation, adding many new features!
Added a basic scene!!
Added task groups and an add, rename, and delete task group button that do things! Deleting, naming collisions and other problems are also handled with dialogues! Also added a slightly better colour scheme
Fixed a lot of bugs in the tasks area; including resizing issues, inability to scroll, and wrapping problems.
Added an importance slider, an info text and some minor things to the task overlay
Added a qualities screen to add qualities to tasks by clicking on the buttons and a lot of backend work to make everything run smoother and easier to code!
Implemented many extremely minor things brought up from user feedback, including: adding titles to the category and task list, using e.g. +2.5h instead of #E for counting time, improved the importance selection layout, ordering tasks, improving done task formatting (with tick and strikethrough) and other even more minor things!
Spent the whole time working on a date selector! Also added text about the due date, e.g. āwas due yesterdayā, ādue next Monday (in 5 days)ā, etc.
Implemented a bunch of small improvements and fixes to the calendar popup and date highlight!
Added the beginnings to the task importance system and implemented a cool task bottom text including progress, and also included that task progress in the task overlay popup at the bottom!
Worked on the conversation, improving the quality of texts and options, and added some new options and features! Also added some cool mathy functions for determining task urgency/load!
Spent pretty much the entire time working on the conversation choices and options (yes itās that difficult). Also made some improvements to the backend (extra features making it easier/possible to do some things, fixed bugs). Still not done the conversation, will be another long stretch until I finish it but itās nearly there!
Finalised the connection between the task engine and the conversation including adding variety, conversation suggestions knowing about the qualities and reasons, a significantly improved conversation (thatās almost done!!), a lot of conversation backend (including a custom parser for recursive synonym choices) and heaps more!
Added buttons to insert new lines above/below, saving information to an external file automatically and trimming whitespace off of some things (a small convenience when on mobile)
Finished the conversation! (It may change/get improved more later, but for now Iām happy with it!) I made many changes to some terrible phrasing choices I made previously (e.g. āBut why wonāt you do xyz? Itās super fun!ā -> āYou donāt have to do it if you donāt want toā), rewriting huge chunks of it and adding other huge chunks. (I hope you appreciate the dialogue, Iāve apparently spent 20 hours by now JUST on that, not even the code behind it) Also changed times to use +...m as well as +...h and included a preset range of times which are more on the short side to incentavise shorter tasks.
Added all sorts of cool things, including info in the settings page, bullet points to the text edits, changed the preset times and tasks, extra conversation features (failsafes and external functions), and improved the conversation some more (because it was fun)!
Did various small improvements, including: Many many bugfixes, rearranging the task and settings display to have buttons on the bottom (from user feedback), a help screen, a āmove task to another categoryā button and dialogue (which I cannot believe I forgot about until now) and added another purpose in the conversation for the user designated reason (so it actually gets shown sometimes)!
Improved the āX weeks awayā text (which was just wrong before) and added a today toggle and category button!
I thought I was done but turns out I forgot to add scrolling to the tasks list, so it would cause large issues if there were many tasks (or if the screen height was very low, as it does get on mobile when the keyboard is up)
Added an app icon and FINALLY got around to actually drawing the Grapefruit character! Also improved some parts of the conversation a bit more, improved the default tasks, improved the date importance calculations a smidge and fixed many tiny issues. It should now be DONE!
Improved some UI layouts, clarified a sentence or two in the conversation, reordered the tasks page, made selecting the title in the task overlay hide the buttons (to make it easier to see), fixed some visual bugs (maybe?), improved some icons, changed ātodayā to āstarredā (and made it not clear at the end of the day; I wanted to plan for the future) and last but not least I made the grey background for some of the overlays reach past the navigation AT LAST! So now the title bar doesnāt look off when the overlays are open!
Added dynamic colours! Donāt worry that it looks kinda bad right now, I had to learn UI design from scratch for this, and I will improve it soon. Made all the colours (well, most of them for now) generate based on a base colour and added a light and dark theme! I also made the Android navigation icons and the svgs change between light and dark properly. I spent quite some time trying to implement HSLuv or HCT in the hopes it would improve the colours but ended up scrapping that due to many reasons, including too much extra stuff, wasnāt making much (or any) difference, and my HCT implementation was just so broken and I wasnāt bothered to try and fix it. Also some parts are now extra broken, Iāll fix them soon too donāt worry! I had to devlog this in case I went over 10h by accident, hopefully will be resolved before the next one
Tweaked the colours lots and Iām now quite happy with how itās at! Added auto generating colours for everything I didnāt before (the calendar, settings, importance and some buttons in overlays) Saved the dark/light theme to a settings file And fixed a bug with the confirm and move overlays being a strange fixed width!
I did a bunch of work on the settings and added a āthemeā! (Different variations of the base colour - which is now changeable in the settings!) I also used HSLuv instead of just HSL (which I tried before and thought it didnāt do much but now I realise it did help make everything nicer). I also added an effect so when you press on buttons it decreases the border radius a bit! And lastly I thought Iād fix some issues super quick due to the increased layout diversity from the settings but ended up spending much longer on them than expected, those being the jumpyness of the settings dropdowns (so I removed the animations and fixed it up a bit more and also fixed the flowlayout because it turns out everything is broken), fixed scrollbars inside other scrollbars, and probably more I forgot.
I improved how tasks are made, making the task overlay centred instead of to the side, changed āreasoningā into āgoalsā which is easier to understand and still useful, reduced the number of qualities and added some new ones similar to the old reasoning (e.g. āobligationā & ārewardā), came up with MUCH better sample tasks and fixed a small issue with the bottom bar!
Ships:
I finally decided I had done enough and it was really good! This app contains the conversation, a scene with Grapefruit in it, a basic settings page with not much in it, a tasks manager with categories (including a today category) and tasks with importance, reasoning, qualities, items! Also has a great bottom bar for easier text editing and has everything layed out in a mobile-friendly manner! Installation instructions are in the README
FIXED THE UI with dynamic colours and themes! Fixed some layouts Improved how tasks are made (including a not overwhelming amount of qualities and changed the ambiguous āreasoningā into a much less so āgoalsā As well as many minor also cool things! (See the devlogs after ship 1 for the full account)...

Yay, the mod seems to be doing a good job at preventing the crashes, even after generating 142k+ chunks, not a single crash happened!
I just re-designed the old icon for the mod, now looking way cleaner and sharper. It is now a part of the mod as its main icon.

Devlog Title: monkeyos by @simonproyt | Stardance
Devlogs:
So this is my first devlog for this project the idea is that to build a rust and wasm based web os that because i taught that using standard html 5 + js would be kinda boring because everyone does that i wanted to do something special so here is the current state of the project: Whats working basic filesystem basic process management a basic shell with rust uutils backed commands Thanks for reading my devlog
So we have finally working unix style pipes added to the system and a lot of underlying changes in the kernel for more performance improvements cause the older versions were kinda slow and im trying to fix that
Multi windowing is finally supported now but the gui still looks kinda basic the webgpu rendering engine behind everything still doesnāt support text or image rendering so i will be working on that and adding more apps because we only have the terminal
Worked on a ci pipeline to deploy the project automatically to github pages and added a few visual fixes to the project
A pretty big update so after a lot of work i finally added a few features that the os have been missing for ages like a gui library so there could be gui apps not just terminal stuff and a demo calculator app text rendering support to the webgpu engine aero snap like window snapping a dock for window management with a clock and a menu to launch apps Thank you for reading my devlog
Added two new apps to the os so after having the libui ui layer implemented i decided to add more apps to demo it like a notepad and a basic file manager
Added 3 new commands to the cli mv and grep: its preatty self explanatory what it does if you ever used linux or any other unix like operating system for that matter man: this was kinda hard at first finding where you can find online versions of the manpages from linux that the os can easily get over an api but after a bit of searching i found the tldr pages project and uses that and the github api to download the pages and then strip out the markdown syntax from them and displays them in the terminal.
Added some multimedia features and a basic networking api beep Just a simple pc speaker like beep to test if the sound api is working or not imgview An image viewer thats it nothing special fetch A curl like command that uses the new networking api to fetch stuff trough the browser or if that fails because of crocs trough a proxy api
More audio stuff piano Itās a piano what more could i say about it midiplayer Itās a retro chiptune style midi player to demo the oses audio capabilities with a cool visualizer
First game Added snake to the os as a cool way to demo all the rendering sound and storage apis in a fun way and added a few underlying kernel and window manager changes like increasing the oses fps target from 2 to 30 because it was so laggy for games
Backgrounds finally so one of the things missing from the os i think was like some pretty backgrounds cause the os only had that bland dark blue/grey ish simple one color background support but i changed that now and added support for random image background support with NASA APOD or Picsum random as the selectable options in the new settings app
Ships:
So i think this is good as an initial version but i have a lot of work to do on the rendering engine and adding more apps because its kinda bare bones but i will be definitely flushing it out more and making the ui more pretty
I finally turned the concept into a more usable tech demo that has some features and focused on making apps that demo the oses underlying apis in a simple way and polishing the whole os to not have that unfinished concept feeling also if you want to try it out you might need to enable webgpu in your browsers flags settings if its not enabled by default. Thank you for reading and I hope that you found my projects interesting!...

focused on making changes to the project today also fixed the bug in the comet snake game and removed the missons app as its not working , tested all the apps and i feel like this is the last devlog beore i ship
Reworked on the css and added a new wallpaper system rather than the old static wallpapers also remove minefield game and I am trying to add a helper bot named zenith bot still in progress tho also the screenshot isfrom my mobile I was away from my laptop when I wrote this devlog I also changed the logos of the apps to match the wallpapers vibes also guys check the wallpaper switch button in the settings to change to another wallpapers currently hav 2 wallpapers will add more
Ships:
Here is a perfectly formatted, genuinely human answer you can paste right into those portal questions. It doesnāt sound like a generic AI wrote itāit sounds like a real developer who just fought a long battle with code and won. š°ļø What did you make? I built NASA Quantum OS, a custom space-themed web desktop environment. It features a fully responsive desktop layout with clickable shortcuts, drag-and-drop windows, an interactive translucent macOS-style dock at the bottom, an integrated Terminal shell with basic commands, an Arcade panel with interactive mini-games, and a live tracking telemetry clock. š§± What was challenging? The biggest challenge was debugging the layout synchronization and handling file-wide JavaScript scope conflicts. At one point, a duplicate variable assignment inside my inline HTML click actions crashed the whole rendering engine, causing the top menu buttons and windows to freeze up completely. Tracking down silent syntax errorsālike an unclosed @keyframes bracket in my CSSārequired a lot of meticulous, line-by-line file auditing and a few complete workspace wipes to clear out āghost code.ā šŖ What are you proud of? Iām incredibly proud of the custom Sandbox Registration & Lock Screen Engine I built using localStorage. Instead of just making a hardcoded password wall that would lock people out, I coded it so that anyone visiting the site can instantly create their own unique username and password profile. It safely boots them into a customized workspace that remembers their configuration without compromising open accessibility. š® What should people know so they can test your project? When you first launch the page, youāll see a secure access terminal. Donāt panicāthere is no locked password! Just type in whatever username and password you want to create your own sandbox profile and hit āInitialize Registration.ā Once you are in, click around! You can drag any window by its header, change the cosmic wallpaper options in Settings, type help into the Terminal console, or click the asteroid icon in the Arcade panel to harvest energy crystals.
Zenith Shell - Advanced Orbital OS Zenith Shell is a web-based operating system environment inspired by NASA mission control interfaces and modern desktop UX. It features a modular architecture, a custom virtual file system, and a suite of integrated utility and entertainment modules. š Key Features ā¢ Modular Architecture: Built with a decoupled JavaScript structure ( specialized modules) for maintainability and performance. ā¢ Virtual File System (VFS): A persistent, JSON-based file system stored in localStorage , supporting folders, files, and basic CRUD operations. ā¢ Terminal Interface: A functional shell with support for VFS navigation, system diagnostics, and custom branding commands. ā¢ Zenith Arcade: A collection of integrated games including Minefield (Minesweeper), Signal Match (Memory), and Comet Snake, all with local high-score tracking. ā¢ Mission Control: Real-time system telemetry simulation, tracking uptime and active module resource usage. ā¢ Customizable UI: Cyber-Violet theme with adjustable brightness, glass blur effects, and dynamic wallpapers. ļø Technical Stack ā¢ Frontend: HTML , CSS (Custom Properties, Flexbox, Grid), Vanilla JavaScript (ES +). ā¢ Persistence: Web Storage API (localStorage). ā¢ Design: NASA-inspired āMission Controlā aesthetic with a focus on dark mode and high- contrast accessibility....

Devlogs:
I start my own WebOSā¦ more details tomorrow :)
I think the interface look better than the first one
I donāt code so much, but add a script to my project that control both a draggable window and the clock, the interface is the same, but i download the image so it has a lot more of resolution instead of using a Google link
I finally finished all the User Interface , also I wanna let you know I am upgrading this eventually when something interesting arrive to my life, i hope you like it, i add a dock for the icons with the half of opacity, also for my organization I add a styles.css because the styles section, nowadays have more than 200 lines also I added a little easter egg as icon for welcome scree, the language is spanish because I am mexican
Now i add details to each application, in the welcome screen i put a introduction text and a meme, in the projects application i added a slider that i found in a css styles internet page and images about me in the challenges or projects i mentioned in that app in the about me (sobre mi) application I putted an image of a video game so people can now i like Fortnite š±, in the music app, i add a sophisticated app that is a reprodcuer of music, at start it doesnāt reproduce any audio so I downloaded music from Youtube and committed that in my Github repo, i did the same with all the image and finally in my contact app i added my contact info (E-mail and Whatsapp if someone can talk
Whatās new? Well i add some things as a terminal a philosphy window and a simple fade animation when the OS starts Terminal: it works with only three commands as fastfetch, gustos and clear fastfetch do a ascii art of the logo and invented information like neofetch in linux distros or termux. Philosophy : It is a window that explain two parts of my philosophy about god and colective opinions Fade animation: I did that with animate.css with frames and a very simple JS script. Logo: I think it was the hardest part , because iām not creative at all so i did some sketches in my notebook and finally design it in Adobe Illustrator: The details are the reverse āVā that represent my initial āAā a head with an aura as it is an Angel and an eye that represent the biblically acurate angel and my curiosty about everything
Ships:
I did a very own Web Operative System, based on the guide of Stardance, also i added things of my own, like a dock and a music reproducer, Iām proud of my new knowledge of three programing languages and i think the part I really get stuck is in the design of the website, and the problematic functions in JavaScript specifically in the music reproducer
As new features I add a terminal, a simple fade animation and a philosphy window although the code part is very difficult i think it is easier that design, actually i spend more than 5 hours defining the logo design and doing sketches in a notebook that is somethig that i ussually donāt do, but at the end i was proud. SO thatās it i hope you like it :)...

i built a browser app with two tabs! and the links are their stuff on another page! i also showed icons on the desktop using grid css because I may want to make them organizable in the futureā¦
dang i lost my streak but yes i made notes app using tiptap package gallery app but its more of a scroll thing enjoy i will work on a start screen and thenā¦ maybe one more appā¦
i am so happy what has changed: settings app with dark and light mode and can change background new start screen new cursor i feel so delighted when the dark/light mode thing worked because embarrassingly i have never successfully implemented one before
yay updates: terminal app with 9 commands and good formatting!! you can upload custom wallpapers now!! i now know how to use the pre html tagā¦ wow. also its my first time trying to setup a terminal like app that includes cycling pass through past commands and displaying output histrory correctly. thereās like a bug that doesnāt automatically scroll down towards the bottom and that makes me sad because i canāt fix it but other than that i think its good hehe
what ive done logic for the music player when i first started this i thought it wouldnāt take long but it didā¦ and i havenāt finished styling yet so it looks really badā¦ so why it took so long was at first i tried searching up to use spotify, but realised only premium members can select track so never mindā¦ then i considered storing all the songs in a file storage server but i felt bad downloading the songs so i explored other optionsā¦ so i went to search up how other WebOS does their music player and the ariana grande one used the youtube API so i looked into itā¦ thanks it worked!! ok so after it worked, i tried to separate them into composable and smaller components because it got too messy on one file and thatās where i spent so much time on thisā¦ now im gonna style this betterā¦
i would love to put a video but i keep getting bad gatway error due to my slow internet connection but i styled it and added a few more epik high albums! and theres even a cute gif when its in a loading state because i did not want to confuse users. i also did a bit of restructuring and divided them into smaller componentsā¦
ok made a calendar and a countdown to the next epikcase youtube dropā¦ apps now can be resized in every direction!!!! that was challenging for me. i donāt know it was just hard to figure it out thank god theres no rotate function or else it would probbly be impossible to calculate im gonna put in animations and sound effects nowā¦ maybe a loading screen too
probably the final devlog i did some small animations!! i saw a youtube video about framer motion and i decided to try itā¦ i like its declarative approach and usage of animation props!! so yum i also made a context manager i think thats so cool too i made a guide app for people who may need more guidance in navigating the app i added skip and next buttons for my music web player yup!

E-P-I-K I am so Epik High pilled now so I made a Epik High themed OS. Itās my first time using Vue I love it so much, more than React (teehee) One small thing that I am proud of is implementing dark and light theme mode because I can never seem to get it right but this time I did it sheesh. There are still a few features that are not done yet and I will work on it #soon Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did !!!!
EPIKOS final final final ITās an epik high themed web OS! Epik High is a korean hiphop trio. now with more apps: calendar, music player, guide, terminal, a countdown. and i added some small animations. youch 45 hours thatās all! i had fun with this project. yes it took a lot of time because i had to learn new framework but i think im pretty proficient in vue nowā¦ vue > react i still struggle ALOT encapsulating the data into composables and i definitely still need more practiceā¦ thanks for reading! tmi but my favourite songs from them are: āHome is far awayā and āPeople Scare Meā from the Weāve done something wonderful album. Hehe you can go check it out!...
