I also tried it on Windows , but Lapse and Lookout didn’t work :( Now back on Debian , I’m getting some artifacting bugs, but it’s usable :D
Made basic movement So you can move and jump now ! jumping still needs a bit of adjustment.
Finally finished the movment I finished basic movement and Added sprinting!
Made sliding mechanic So you can Slide now there is a cooldown of 1.25 seconds so its not OP!
Dear NVIDIA… 3 times, i reinstalled debian 3 times because of the stupid drivers, one time it just didn’t work then got it working but secure boot coudn’t be enabled. But it was all worth it :)
Im not really having fun… So i’ve been folowing tutorials for movement and i wasn’t having fun and quickly get distracted so i just made a fun parcour with a boucing mechanic (myself btw). The 360 at the end was so sick!
PC overheating…. So my pc overheights since im on linux and they don’t have my motherboard drivers so my fans don’t work si my gpu overheats! I can’t switch to windows where fans are working normally :(
Made Katana and Enemies ! Now if your in distance enemies will shoot you and you can attack them by left clicking when you are close. Next I’m going to implement parrying!
Migrated to windows My pc was overheating on linux since my fan sensors weren’t working on linux, and now i use Direct X12 and not OpenGL 4.5 . I don’t know if i should be happy or sad.
Made Parrying you can now parry and i added a sound effect! What is so fun about making a game is that you can do anything with it like i made an enemy shoot infinity and it created this cool effect!
Yes didn’t know animations were that hard
Going to keep the basic model I find the basic model, he has mega aura so im going to keep it (and it helps with performance!)
MADE MY FIRST MODEL it may be ugly, but I MADE IT
Level 1 is now working it may be bad but i put alot of effort on this one :)
Monkey dancing Gangnam Style before GTA 6 ?? It took 1h30, was it worth it? Absolutly.
Added the music
Added buch of things Now when you parry the bullet will reverse and go where you look. Added sword swing sound effect & Started making level 2!
Deleted it all yes i said hey free 16gb on my pc and minutes later realized the big mistake…
IM BACKKKKKKKK i reinstalled windows, repasted graphics card (dropped 30°C), in the past week. Look at all this dust, no wonder why it was overheating…
Full level 2 implementation and transition between levels and heart system with vulnarability! I added a heart system with a 10s vulnability each time you get heart! The level 2 is kinda hard (even as a pro gamer) Added transition between the levels when you reach the end :)
Why the game is so ugly I CAN’T MODEL, my designing skills are soooo bad and let’s not talk about modeling….. But i still took a lot of time and effort to make an “ ok ” map, it may be ugly, but its the best i could! please don’t try to understand the storyline….
10 humans vs 1 monkey We can finally know who will win 10 humans vs 1 monkey (but the monkey doesn’t attack…) i wonder who will win!
Made Start menu is this a W menu? i worked really hard on the background. btw the quit button moves every 1.5 secondes so its harder to quit :)
ITS REALEAAAAAASED i did alot of small adjustmenets for release check it out here . Its tested for windows and linux, unfortantly i don’t own any mac devices.
Its on the web ! you can try it out here
README IS DONE i feel kinda sad but happy at the same time that its finishing..
Ships:
I made a Unity game after 3 years! I really loved relearning C# and Unity. The hardest part was designing, I HAD SO MUCH PAIN, I suck at 3D modeling and making good maps, but I went through a lot of effort and time to make an acceptable map. You can directly try the project in the web or download it for Windows/Mac/Linux in the GitHub release! You can read the Gameplay section of the README if you are lost!...

Added a new level kinda, with the moving platforms. As well as checkpoint 6. But then I realised that the checkpoints looked kinda bad, and the platform were signalling the checkpoint anyways, so I hid the block with the checkpoint logic, and the logic still runs despite being invisible, making the overall game look much better
Made a like part where there are these scary red lasers going up and down, you have to like move your character. Also started working on the finish line, wanted to make it like very very minimalistic to be funny kinda, all that for a single flag. Will start polishing and implementing finish logic.
Organised the coins properly, along with having the winscreen logic and everything. Also have the red lasers the killing logic, as before they just did nothing.

I added some new commands but it took a bunch of my time. I found myself stuck in adding /ssb-weather and /ssb-ipinfo because I was unable to get Web API and format right. Well the rest were not much of a problem, so it went smooth after that.
Finally pushed it into git repo and setup ssh server to run it 24/7

It has 12 keys, 1 rotary encoder, a 128x32 OLED display, XIAO RP2040. I designed the PCB board and schematic in Kicad, the case in Fusion360, and programmed it using QMK firmware. The most challenging part was the whole project as I have no prior knowledge in PCB making or case making infact i have never even thought of making any sort of hardware lol. But I gotta with consistency and hard work you can achieve anything! If I had to point to some very difficult challenges I faced then it is probably the LEDs because Kicad kept throwing me various errors saying LED pins are too close ;-; I looked far and wide on google and youtube couldn’t solve it so I just removed those LEDs. Also making the QMK firmware was very annoying not that difficult it was just utterly annoying ;-; because it took me like 30 minutes to compile my code and stuff probably because I have a Potato PC. I am proud of the whole project because it is my first hardware project but I am exceptionally proud of the top plate design I made for my case it is inspired from kintsugi! 4 keys control the movement like a D-PAD, 4 keys funtion as the action keys, 2 keys as the left and right shoulder button and the last 2 keys as the start and select button. The rotary encoder’s click feature doesn’t work because of lack of pins but you can rotate it to change volume. The Case uses a sandwich mounting style.", "repo": "https://github.com/adonutartist/Nemos-Hackpad-DONUT-PAD", "demo": ""}]...

Cyaaaa!!
Build Phase #1: Got my PCB today so immediately started the build phase! Soldered all the components and assembled everything. Was pretty easy ngl let’s see how the firmware turns out I js hope all works ;-;
Build Phase #2 Completed most of firmware for all the keys and rotary encoder working… I didn’t use qmk for this cuz of its insanely high compile time idk why my lappy is js old ig but qmk takes age to compile so I js used Arduino IDE. While I was working I got this weird green line of doom despair which means my screen is slowly dieing ;-; man o man. Also i couldn’t get the OLEDA to work idk why I think it’s prolly loose solder or maybe bridging? Well tmrw imma unassemble once and check on tht
Build Phase #3 Completed the build phase first i unassembled everything and found out tht my soldering wasn’t the problem i checked with a multimeter but wht i did was greater js a soldering error. it was frikin pcb error. yeh so umm the oled thingie if u check its image on hackpad mission page u will see its pin order is down to up but wht i did in my pcb was tht the order was up to down so thts why it didnt work and reviewers didn’t even notice well its more my mistake than theirs anways so i thought maybe if i can desolder this i solder jumper wires from correct pin to its pad but naw i couldnt even desolder i tried using a desolder pump and a copper wick but it js didnt ;-; this is so dam insane!!!!! well anyways everything works except tht oled so yeh cool macropad successfully done!
Ships:
I made a macropad called the DONUT PAD (or Nemo’s Hackpad), it is a macropad that functions as game controller/game pad. It has 12 keys, 1 rotary encoder, a 128x32 OLED display, XIAO RP2040. I designed the PCB board and schematic in Kicad, the case in Fusion360, and programmed it using QMK firmware. The most challenging part was the whole project as I have no prior knowledge in PCB making or case making infact i have never even thought of making any sort of hardware lol. But I gotta with consistency and hard work you can achieve anything! If I had to point to some very difficult challenges I faced then it is probably the LEDs because Kicad kept throwing me various errors saying LED pins are too close ;-; I looked far and wide on google and youtube couldn’t solve it so I just removed those LEDs. Also making the QMK firmware was very annoying not that difficult it was just utterly annoying ;-; because it took me like 30 minutes to compile my code and stuff probably because I have a Potato PC. I am proud of the whole project because it is my first hardware project but I am exceptionally proud of the top plate design I made for my case it is inspired from kintsugi! 4 keys control the movement like a D-PAD, 4 keys funtion as the action keys, 2 keys as the left and right shoulder button and the last 2 keys as the start and select button. The rotary encoder’s click feature doesn’t work because of lack of pins but you can rotate it to change volume. The Case uses a sandwich mounting style....

The part I found challenging was making the gitignore file idk it wasn’t working. This is the first thing I’ve ever made with code. The bot doesn’t work in dms...

I made a 3D Satellite Tracker! It took a fair bit of time but was overall a fun project that taught me a lot about just how many satellites there really are and just how fast they orbit earth, which honestly really suprised me. The reason why I made this is because after I made my flight tracker map I wondered why not make one for satellites as well, but on a globe. After all they are just as if not even more cool and fascinating. Anyways, here are the project features. This can all be found in the projects README as well. Features 3D Globe View - Feel free to traverse freely around the globe to find any satellite in orbit. 3D Satellite Models - View a 3D Model of the ISS or currently tracked satellite. Day/Night Line - Easily see which satellites are visible in daylight or shrouded in night. 16000+ Satellites - View from a list of over 16000 satellites, including the ISS, Starlink, Weather, Research and more satellites. Updates are roughly every 3s. Satellite Search - Looking for a satellite in particular? Simply search for it using the searchbar. Accurate TLE Data - TLE data is updated every 24 hours, ensuring the satellite paths will always be accurate and up to date. HUD-Style View - View information for any satellite by simply clicking on it. Information includes position, altitude, orbital period, and more. Tracking-Style View - Lock a satellite to your screen or simply explore its past and future path to follow its journey.

Devlog 1 Hello everybody! I have decided to start work on a new project called SatTrack , which, as the name implies, is a satellite tracker. I have actually seen a couple satellite trackers created here, but they have all seem to have either been abandoned or deleted, which is a shame because those concepts had a really cool concept in my opinion.

Devlog 2 I’m back to working on this project again, sorry for the delay in development.

Devlog 3 Another update today! This time I added paths to each satellite so we can visualize the future positions of where a satellite will be, which can be accurate for a while based on how high up the satellite is. I also added the CALSPHERE 1 and CALSPHERE 2 alongside the ISS in the demo to visualize multiple satellites.
Devlog 4 Another pretty big feature added in this devlog, you can now see every satellite in orbit! I had a bit of trouble with this feature, and originally I tried to add the 3d dots and paths like the other satellites but this causes major performance issues with over 16000 satellites in orbit.

I made this game MakeKoshary-3d using threejs and RAPIER physics, in this game you are tasked with making a delicious egyptian dish known as koshary, in a local egyptian village inspired by my home village. the way you play this game is very simple because you only need to use one key, the space key. you need to hold the key to pour the ingredients and you must focus not to overpour or underpour. and to prevent boredom the game gradually gets harder the more you play....

and that’s a wrap on my personal website! well, almost. :) the final piece was getting the blog page up and running. i wanted a place to share what i’m working on, the things i learn, and all the little bits of the process that don’t usually make it into the finished projects. after building the page with html, css, and javascript, i added it to my existing website and deployed everything on github pages. it’s been fun watching this project come together, from a bunch of files and ideas to an actual website that people can visit. the blog feels like the missing piece, and with that, the website finally feels complete. one more project built, shipped, and out in the world. 🚀
