#1 Devlog So originally I didn’t even plan to put this here, it was just me trying some different ideas. But now that I have spent over 20h and the design isn’t complete trash anymore, I should probably put this here as well. It is still far from complete and actually not that much code for 20h due to a million rewrites.

What still needs a lot of work is how to cast a spell, but it is so freaking complicated. Also sorry for no image, but it is a lib and far from runnable, so yeah..
#2 Devlog I reworked how static abilities are applied - now they are (mostly) compliant with MTG comp rules. By far the hardest (and most time-consuming) part was coming up with a design that can actually accommodate all of the requirements the rules have. It’s madness; you can change abilities during resolution, partially apply abilities and the order of application is incredibly complicated. Once I had that figured out the implementation was pretty straightforward. Design is in the image below. The second big thing is that I started creating a unified iterator interface to access my cards in a structured manner.
#3 Devlog I created a single method in this hour. I wanted to just have method that creates an Iterator over a collection of objects. But if you have different objects that becomes very messy very fast, because the concrete type of the iterator is also different then. Now the method only claims to return something that is an iterator, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

You could of course avoid all of that and just use dynamic polymorphism, but who needs that. Also sorry for posting so little, I will try to post more often.
#4 Devlog I have been developing a new model for how cards on the “stack” (a zone for cards). This moves a lot of the verification and testing (“Is the card that is reference by this Id, the card I expect?, Is this card really in the correct zone?, …”) to compile-time and the compiler will simply refuse to compile if its wrong.

#5 Devlog Of course fixing stuff took longer than I thought (as always), but we are almost there. Only 16 more errors to go!
#8 Devlog (Sorry; last one is actually #7) So I finally completed the rewrite my entire project now uses my new overengineered typing. Yay! Finally!! But that also meant that I had to change my library API to use all of those types. What you see below are just the function definitions for that + some minor input validation. And, yes, you could defnitiely make that a lot shorter with macros but it is 1am and I can’t be bothered to go learn how they work.

#11 Devlog (AI adventure) So, since stardance ends soon I have to ship this and I am not sure if I can manage in time.

Devlogs:
so it is my first project it about making a button that escapes for the person cursor when trying to click it and i will add things like changing color and more and it uses things like html,javascript,css mostly it uses html. i am buliding it now.
this is an interactive web app built with html,css and javascript the moment you attempt to click it the button,javascript tracks your cursor location and glides it smoothly to the opposite side of your screen,making it impossible to catch.
so i am making a button that escapes from your cursor when trying to click it i added things like i made the button change color every time someone hovers over it trying to click the button and i added dodge counter to count how many times it have dodged you and one more thing i have letter changing i mean when you try to click it and dodges you it says like too slow,nice try…etc.
I was working on my runaway panic button today! Added a multi-level boss mode where players can choose from 4 difficulty levels(shy,panicked,hyperactive, and impossible). Ran into few JavaScript bugs while setting up the movement logic and button Scaling, so i will be finishing up debugging tomorrow!🛠️
finished fixing UI bug and added a live click counter! Now the game tracks every time a player actually manages to land a hit on the runaway button.On the first click, the display updates to “clicks: 1” in real time and triggers the “YOU WON!” screen. tested it using keyboard controls to make sure the event listener fires smoothly!
I worked on building and finishing “The Runaway Panic Button”, an interactive arcade web game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. What I built and updated: • Runaway Mechanics: Programmed the target button to calculate screen boundaries and dodge away whenever hovered or touched. • UI & Layout: Compacted the top dashboard arena box and positioned the “Challenge a Friend” button in the bottom-right corner. • Rank Progression: Tied player ranks strictly to successful Clicks (Snail Reflexes -> Coffee Jitters -> Lightning Fingers -> Touch Grass Please ). • Spacebar Freeze Power: Added a hidden cheat counter that reveals when pressing Spacebar, freezing the button for 4 seconds so players can spam-click it. • Decoy Clone Hazards: Spawned fake red decoy buttons after 20+ dodges that reset player Clicks to 0 if misclicked. • Speech & Audio: Added Web Speech API synthesis for real-time voice taunts and victory announcements.

I worked on improving it. Its now much better.: Stability Improvements, Better Quality Icons, UWP Icons, Finally- An App Icon, Better Performance, Better Alt + X Capturing, Arrow Key Functionality. It wasn’t easy but not that hard. I definitely had to do a lot of googling. And i finally got Git working properly for the Repo with assistance from Gemini. I worked like 2hr and 30min(From i think 28 Sep), the 10h is just my past Macondo data btw…
Just did some minor UI Changes like now 7 rows instead of 6, improved window size, removed scroll bar while maintaining scroll functionality and globalized some variables…

App Launcher helps in finding and launching apps with ease. Many PC’s which are budget, running experimental versions of windows or general may find that Start Menu would lag sometimes. App Launcher is Instant, very minimal resource consumption, Modern Light/Dark Mode, fuzzy search which Start doesn’t support and clear icon view and navigation with arrow keys in the launcher. Its made in Python and compiled using pyinstaller and Setup made using Inno Setup. It essentially replaces the start menu in some way. Its hotkey to launch is Alt+X which is easily accessible. It has a priority system as well as soon as you open the Launcher, the list you see is the recently launched apps by it. Comparitively its much lighter to 99% of other launchers too. I had a lot of difficulty and lot pf googling for this latest update in which i include better quality icons(had do dive into ctypes and stuff) uwp icons(more advanced logics and stuff) and small but good to have UI Changes, theme switcher based on windows modes and much more...

closing the day, added a building system and fixes will publish repo tmrw
bugs and bugs, got bochs to compile and load files properly but stack size and recursion is a problem right now
working?
fixed compiling flags, replaced the BIOS implementation and now we can boot alpine linux 64-bit on a tab!
dynamic heap resize works, finally got the network adapter to compile and we can finally see OpenRC booting!
switched to tinycore (or just ‘core’ x64 port), fixed stack sizes (both emscripten and asyncify), and pings to non-restricted and websocket enabled domains work now. the only thing left is implementing an interconnect daemon with a web proxy
linux is really anywhere! i added link time optimizations with -O3 and -flto, the boot takes 2 minutes on a generic x86_64 kernel in firefox. will minify the kernel and the os to have an actually usable system
last devlog before shipping. i have added the project to github and i will take a break from it to focus on more projects and school (obviously!)
Ships:
this is linuxanywhere (or a bochs version optimized for browser environments with x64 linux booting capabilities). it can run VMs on the browser (but really slowly). check it out! will improve it more and will add the features i wrote on my github page! i hope you enjoy this :)...

Dropdown Styling & Component Replacement The design form’s dropdown interface was overhauled to improve visual consistency and user experience. A native <select> element was replaced with a custom-styled solution using 3ab7405 , allowing for greater flexibility in aligning with the project’s aesthetic goals. This change ensures smoother integration with the overall theme and avoids browser-specific styling quirks. CSS Refactoring & Theme Variables Design form styling was fully refactored in 928b7b0 , introducing global theme variables to streamline color, spacing, and typography management. This move simplifies future theme adjustments and promotes code reuse. Model defaults were also standardized to reduce redundancy in form initialization logic, making the codebase more maintainable. Admin Test Redirects In 2af0071 , the admin test workflow was updated to automatically redirect to the products list URL after test submissions. This improves user navigation by providing immediate feedback and next steps, ensuring a cohesive backend experience. Current Status The frontend is now more thematically consistent, with design forms serving as a primary focus area. Admin workflows are being optimized for clarity and efficiency, though backend test processing logic remains pending integration. The codebase is gradually adopting a modular structure, particularly for UI components and configuration. Things Learnt Custom dropdowns using CSS and JavaScript offer better cross-browser compatibility than styling native <select> elements. Theme variables significantly reduce the effort required for UI adjustments, especially as the project scales. Redirects in admin flows should be designed with user context in mind to avoid confusion.
Add brand colors, badge styles, and redesign pagesAdd brand color variables, badge styles, and a full redesign of design pages with responsive layouts, fixed redirect stuff, optimised by using one erb engine call for designs
Rename admin-product to products and refactor CSS, controller, and views. Updated class names and CSS variables, added .no-product-grid and .dashed-break styles. Simplified image loading logic in the product preview controller, and replaced large inline layout styles with external stylesheet includes.
Improved the New Order Page to be neater, and better themed along the colour scheme
Created Printful API Integration and improved order screen to allow better customisations Add Printful import endpoint and order preview UI improvementsImplemented Printful product import, added order preview generation, UI styles, and controller changes for drag‑resize‑rotate preview.
Added Variants for size and colors with stock for each printful region facility. Stimulus target which groups the variants by colour and deletes empty groups
Print area management UI & backend ( a42a00d ): Built a full stack for managing print areas (think “where the design goes” on a shirt front or back). This includes models to store print area dimensions, controllers to handle CRUD ops, and RESTful routes to tie it all together. The frontend now lets users drag/drop to define print zones with responsive positioning ( position: absolute + transform: scale to handle dynamic sizing). Edge case: Products with multiple print areas (e.g., front + back) now render distinct configurations without clobbering state. Printful service & stock syncing ( 7b5d817 ): Added printful_id to product models to map Issued products to Printful’s inventory. UI updates to display Printful sync status (green checkmarks for success, red alerts for failures). Technical tangents The print area system was a slow make. For example: To ensure designs stay within printable bounds, I had to calculate dynamic margins based on product type (e.g., a hoodie’s print area ≠ a mug’s). This involved hacking some trigonometry into the frontend to snap selections to “safe zones.” On the backend, I’m using ActiveRecord callbacks to validate print area dimensions against product specs. If a user tries to set a print area wider than the product allows It raises a PrintAreaOutOfBounds error Future features The actual ship flow and being able to edit multiple print areas instead of just the one
Since the last update, I’ve focused on enhancing the order preview system to support complex design workflows and improving image navigation for multi-image configurations. Recent changes Added multi-image preview navigation with left/right arrow buttons and an index display (e.g., “Image 2 of 5”) to streamline design review workflows ( b269fe5 ). This change directly addresses the need to review multiple design iterations in a single view without page reloads. Refactored the order preview component to support multiple print areas with independently configurable design images. This involved restructuring the preview logic to handle dynamic print area definitions while maintaining consistent state across design selections ( 0545118 ). The refactor enables customers to visualize different designs on separate print areas (e.g., front/back/ sleeves) within the same order preview.
I’ve focused on refining the shop page styling, header positioning, and cost handling logic ( d10a9c51 ). The recent batch of work involved schema adjustments for a product enabled flag, adding support for cost and thread costs ( 82f9f2d1 ), applying a schema fix ( 3f8bcb8a ), fixing CI pipeline issues ( 71e98a ), and pushing updates to production ( ca19da29 ). Recent changes Added an image variants system and updated views to utilize thumb and display variants specifically ( a2e4eb28 ). Implemented cost handling updates, including a specific support for thread costs alongside general product cost tracking ( 82f9f2d1 ). Added an auto annotaterb script executed within the Rails migration process ( 7d07d278 ). Applied schema fixes to ensure data integrity during the recent updates ( 3f8bcb8a ). Updated the RSVP page styles and refreshed the thanks template ( 217945eb ). Refined header positioning and shop page styling across the frontend ( d10a9c51 ). Added a product enabled flag to control product visibility and state in the system ( 82f9f2d1 ). Whats next: Umm, so whats next I think would be adding balance_events so you can trace changes in balances(spending/earning)
Recent changes Added support for balance events and thread adjustments to improve financial tracking accuracy. This also included an update to the notification rendering system to safely handle these new data types without breaking existing templates (commit: ( faed39b57619 )). Fixed the positioning of the design box within the product editor. This specifically addresses display issues occurring when editing products via /admin/products/<id>/edit (commit: ( aa4e314b5dcd )).
Added Devlogs and changed hackatime projects to be multi model per design. Move hackatime project linkage from a single designs.hackatime_project column to a has_many hackatime_projects model, syncing each project’s time and aggregating totals on designs. Add devlogs, ship_requests, ships, and comments models/routes/views for design logging and shipping, and make balance_events polymorphic.Update designs controller, helpers, and views to render multiple project pills, allow adding/removing linked projects, and show a combined hackatime/image/devlog layout. Add redcarpet for Markdown rendering and adjust CSS for dark mode, responsive galleries, and pill controls. Added Devlogs and the prep for adding the shipping flow I added devlogs to the project in prep for the shipping flow
Recent changes Fixed a failure in the CI/CD pipeline commit Implemented status tracking for balance events and refined the underlying thread logic associated with them commit Refactored the token rendering component for render_encoded to allow {{design: design.id}} making a pill, to improve display fidelity and added an edit functionality for devlog entries commit Integrated support for uploading images directly within the devlog interface and established links to corresponding Hackatime projects commit
Recent changes Ship request flow and SVG conversion : Added support for processing ship requests, handling SVG conversions, and validating devlog images before submission 8ca9b5d9 . Nil safety for Hackatime projects : Wrapped the @hackatime_projects variable in an Array structure to prevent nil errors when retrieving project data a29691ff . CI environment and test ordering : Set RAILS_ENV=test for the CI setup process and reordered the sequence of test steps to improve execution reliability 2968d162 . Authorization consolidation : Refactored authorization guards and consolidated the linking logic for Hackatime projects 4c2b1836 .
Recent changes Add comments to devlogs and ship requests Implement polymorphic Comment model with CommentsController, Stimulus-driven collapsing comment box, markdown preview form, and styles. Comments will be rendered by Turbo frames and allow editing by owner/admin. This is what else is included in this change: Encryption of hackclub_access_token and hackclub_refresh_token through ActiveRecord encryption, including config, env sample and migration task for already existing non-encrypted tokens. SSL enforcement in production (assume_ssl, force_ssl). Update filter_parameters to strip out sensitive information and OAuth tokens from logs. Fix ExchangeRate API call to include Bearer authentication header. Sanitization of devlogs HTML output through SafeListSanitizer. Update Design#can_make_devlog to can_make_devlog? method and restrict can_ship? check to devlogs without ship request. Add SRI integrity attribute to marked/DOMPurify scripts loaded from CDNs. UI improvements: styles for disabled buttons, utility class for hover-underline effect, devlog cards layout and info icons.
Recent changes Comment delete, Turbo Comment Box, and ship request fade functionality Add #destroy functionality to the comments with owner permission, path, delete button, and dependent comments. Make use of valid commentable_type/id while building comments and make responses as Turbo streams and wrap up comments within a Turbo frame. Resize the comment box according to the content changes detected by the MutationObserver. Make ship request modal and overlay fade in and out. Consider higher level ship request as blockers for all ship requests. Comment card and comment list styling.
Recent changes Added ship request reviews, resubmission logic, and R2 storage integration for tracking reviewed submissions ( 41b1e43 ). Started on the review workflow Started on Resubmission logic Set up support for cloudflare R2 Guarded Hack Club token persistence behind encryption configuration, ensuring tokens are only stored when encryption is explicitly enabled ( a4b6d0c ).
Made Notifications Useful Recent changes Persistent unread state for unanswered boolean notifications Notifications with unresolved boolean actions (e.g., approvals) now remain marked as unread until explicitly addressed. This ensures users revisit pending decisions. Commit: 39aabb2 . Interactive notification replies with approval time tracking Added support for direct replies to notifications, along with timestamp logging for when approvals are finalized. This enables granular tracking of response times for actionable alerts. Commit: 6ac80f9 .
## Recent changes Notifications: Unanswered notifications now retain their unread status until explicitly addressed. This ensures users can distinguish between pending and resolved interactions without relying on manual state updates ( 751a370 ). Security: Authentication workflows, file uploads, and resource authorization checks have been updated with additional safeguards. Specifics include input validation and access control refinements, though implementation details are not disclosed in the commit message ( 97e48db ).
Recent changes - Installed Bundler 4.0.4 in the Dockerfile to standardize gem management across environments ( 88ba659 ). - Ensured the verification directory exists for SVG upload tests, addressing missing file system setup in test workflows ( 83f2e53 ). - Resolved a Turbo conflict in order steps, likely related to event streaming or frame rendering in Rails views ( e8d08f4 ). Updated navigation unread counts dynamically from notification events, improving real-time feedback for user activity ( a75f6ff ).
Deploying on coolify and fixing bugs with that + encrypting current db
I created the fulfilment system for a fulfilment team to use Recent changes Removed redundant save! calls and updated fulfillment tests to reduce unnecessary database operations and align test logic with current behavior 9acc056 . Added a fulfillment role, batch pipeline, and popup controller to support new workflow automation and UI interactions afa7a20 . The popup controller likely handles transient UI elements like notifications or modals. Fixed a crash in /designs preview rendering by resolving an issue blocking Ruby scan/lint CI, ensuring previews no longer fail unexpectedly ( 911f035 ). Corrected a stray question mark in a design preview image tag to prevent malformed HTML output ( 955dd6c ). Added a note about YSWS draft sponsorship documentation, possibly for tracking external partnerships or funding discussions ( d92d571 ). No performance optimizations or subsystem overhauls were addressed in this cycle. Next steps depend on external feedback and test coverage improvements implied by recent test updates.
Ships:
Shipped!!! There are a bunch of features and stuff that I have added to this since flavortown, from the ordering system to devlogs and ship flow. Project Info This is the ruby on rails app for the ysws draft #issued where YS: Designs made with Code WS: Clothes and other swag with those designs Features added: A bunch of features have been added and I have separated them to 3 categories Major ones for functionality, quality of life for feel and use, security for data security. New Major Features: Designs view now is more detailed including hackatime projects and images from devlogs and ships Ship flow system so you can submit to the ysws Product Design system (admin only - for making the shop items by importing from printful via api) Order system using lots of hotwired turbo (choose color, design placement rotation and scale) Notifications (3 types Normal which provides info and 2 others Boolean which gets a yes or no answer and text which gets a written answer Reviewer Panel which shows pending ships to review with some data on (need to add hackatime info for it though) Storing Reviewer proof videos in a cloudflare R2 storage Quality-Of-Life: Added better UI/UX with some issues with need for ironing out (eg font change from workbench to ‘lexend’ and ‘space mono’ Kept a consistent style through the site, although some panels might need better border colour On login it redirects to the page you logged in by Security: I added User DB encryption to protect user data stored on the postgres database instance, such as name and email Summary Made the functional part of the ysws site (Designs, ordering, shipping) Added more security for user data Improved UI(Font and colour scheme)...

today i learnt some very basic assembly and wrote my first hello world os!
I tried moving to the kernel section. I spent some time programming the kernel in assembly. it was really painful… really…. really…. really…. painful 💔. So i shifted to a kernel written in C. It really made the task much easier than to code in assembly (precisely x86 32 bit protected mode NASM assembly 🥴). I wrote the kernel hello world kinda test program in C (the one used in kernel, da real c is way easier). Also, i used GRUB as the bootloader!
DEVLOG 3 I finally learnt the proper way to write devlogs :D i added a lot of things:- The logic of commands and outputs Some basic commands like clear, help, ver Neofetch command!! (the beggest one) And an easter egg command I have had a really terrible experience here as i had to define every single thing. It doesn’t have libc. i had to define basic functions like printf() and it coudn’t even compare 2 strings in the if statement. i had to define the compare 2 strings function T_T. but now it’s a nice and good looking CLI os kinda thing ig.
Devlog 4 I added a new hangman minigame and a new custom bootscreen (designed by hand on a touchpad :D) This makes kernos ready for the first ship!!
Devlog 5 Added testing instructions in the readme file.
Ships:
KernOS KernOS is an x86 hobby operating system written in C and Assembly. It features a custom shell with commands like help , ver , clear , and neofetch , keyboard input, hardware information detection, a Hangman game, and a custom hand-made boot screen. What was challenging The assembly part was very painful. Assembly itself is difficult to understand. after spending a lot of time in assembly and figuring out nothing, I decided to make the kernel in C. It made it much easier. But C was still challenging as it lacked libc. So, the basic functions like printf() , comparison of 2 strings in the if statement, scanf() and all were not available. I had to manually define all of them before using them. I am proud of I made the very first version of a custom operating system with minimal use of ai! what comes in the next ship In the next ship of this project, I will add features to create/edit/delete files and a custom text editor. for people testing the project Download the iso file from the GitHub releases page. use qemu with the following command - qemu-system-i386 -cdrom KernOS.iso -device isa-debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x04...

The main problem I wanted to solve is that learning Linux from documentation can be very passive. You read what cd or chmod does, but you don’t really remember it until you use it yourself. Also, using a real Linux system can be a little scary for beginners because one wrong command can cause problems. Teach Terminal gives you a fake Linux filesystem where you can practice without breaking a real computer. You can log in, choose a mode, and start learning. There are 25 lessons in 5 sections: Introduction, Navigation, Files, Text & Redirection, and Permissions. Every lesson has a small lecture and then practice. In the practice you need to type commands yourself, for example pwd , ls -la , chmod 755 , or sudo chown root file.txt . The terminal gives output and errors similar to what you can get in a real Ubuntu terminal. Note: This is a simulation. It does not enforce all Linux permissions and security rules, so some commands may behave differently than on a real system. What was challenging The fake filesystem was one of the harder parts. I made two classes for it. FileSystem handles the filesystem tree and navigation, and file represents the individual files and folders. It also stores things like permissions, owner, size and modification date. Getting absolute paths working was also a little difficult. I needed to go from the current file or folder to its parents until I reach the root. It is kind of like following a linked list backwards. Another problem was checking commands in multi-step practices. For example, when a user runs sudo chown root file.txt , the practice checker needs to check the whole command and not only chown root file.txt . I also had problems with resetting the practice state. If I make a folder with mkdir projects and then start the same practice again, it will fail because the folder already exists. So I needed to reset the practice filesystem when starting it again. Things I am happy with The lesson engine is probably the part I worked most on. It handles the lecture, practice, success state, and the progress for each step. I also made the lesson window draggable and minimizable. Pressing Escape can toggle the window. The terminal currently supports 16 commands and some extra features like flags, redirection ( > , >> , < , 2> ), tab autocomplete, arrow-key command history, and sudo with password checking. I also added 3 themes: Ubuntu, Hacker and Kali. The themes are used across the different pages. How to test Open the demo link. Go to Settings and choose a theme: Ubuntu, Hacker, or Kali. Log in with a valid username, machine name and password. Choose Guided Path if you want to try the lessons, or Free Exploration if you just want to use the terminal. In a lesson, read the lecture and click Start Practice . Type the commands in the terminal and follow the steps. Some commands you can try: pwd ls -la mkdir test cd test touch file.txt chmod 755 file.txt sudo chown root file.txt The project is made with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I didn’t use frameworks or external dependencies.", "repo": "https://github.com/Arsen-Gevorgyan/teach-terminal", "demo": "https://arsen-gevorgyan.github.io/teach-terminal/"}]...

Today Today I finished writing all 25 lessons and fixed several issues with the lesson system. The lessons are organized into 5 sections - Introduction, Navigation, Files, Text & Redirection, and Permissions - plus a final congratulations lesson. Each practice lesson has multiple steps, so instead of a single command to type, the user might create a file, change its permissions, and verify with ls -l . The window tracks progress with markers like [x] , [>] , and [ ] so it is clear where the user is. I also fixed bugs I found while testing the flow: The lesson window didn’t reset the filesystem between practices. If you completed mkdir projects once, replaying the lesson would fail because the folder already existed. Now the filesystem resets to a clean state at the start of every practice lesson. Sudo commands weren’t detected by the practice check. The checker only saw the inner command ( chown root file.txt ), not the full sudo chown root file.txt . Fixed by passing the full command through. Lesson 25 no longer has a practice - it just says “Congratulations! You finished Teach Terminal.” with a short message about what the user learned.

Today Today I built the lesson window - the floating panel that runs inside the terminal during lessons. This is the piece that connects the lessons page to the terminal itself. When a user picks a lesson from the overview, the terminal opens with ?lesson=N in the URL. The lesson window reads that number, finds the lesson in the data file, and appears in the top-right corner of the screen. The window has three states: Lecture - shows the lesson text explaining the concept. The user reads and clicks “Start Practice” (or “Complete” for intro lessons). Practice - the window changes visually. Its border and title switch to an amber color, and a “PRACTICE:” prefix appears in the title. This makes it obvious that it’s time to do something, not just read. The user types the command in the terminal below. Success - when the expected command is typed, the window shows the success message and a “Next Lesson” button appears. Clicking it swaps the window content to the next lesson without reloading the page. The window is also draggable by its title bar. The user can move it anywhere, minimize it with - , or close it with × (which returns to the lessons page). Pressing Escape hides and shows the window. I also added replay support. If a lesson is already complete, the user can open it again, read the lecture, and try the practice a second time. The window still shows the success message, but the lesson status stays DONE - it does not re-mark anything. Some issues I hit: The intro lessons blocked the “Next Lesson” button because they were being re-completed in a loop. I fixed this by tracking a showingSuccess variable that tells the code whether we’re on the success screen or the lecture. The practice mode class wasn’t being added because the flow checked lessonComplete before checking whether we were in the practice phase. I reordered the checks so practice renders correctly even for replayed lessons.

Success - when the expected command is typed, the window shows the success message and a “Next Lesson” button appears. Clicking it swaps the window content to the next lesson without reloading the page. The window is also draggable by its title bar. The user can move it anywhere, minimize it with - , or close it with × (which returns to the lessons page). Pressing Escape hides and shows the window. I also added replay support. If a lesson is already complete, the user can open it again, read the lecture, and try the practice a second time. The window still shows the success message, but the lesson status stays DONE - it does not re-mark anything. Some issues I hit: The intro lessons blocked the “Next Lesson” button because they were being re-completed in a loop. I fixed this by tracking a showingSuccess variable that tells the code whether we’re on the success screen or the lecture. The practice mode class wasn’t being added because the flow checked lessonComplete before checking whether we were in the practice phase. I reordered the checks so practice renders correctly even for replayed lessons.

Teach Terminal A browser-based game that teaches Linux terminal commands through interactive lessons and missions. Today Today I finished writing all 25 lessons and fixed several issues with the lesson system. The lessons are organized into 5 sections - Introduction, Navigation, Files, Text & Redirection, and Permissions - plus a final congratulations lesson. Each practice lesson has multiple steps, so instead of a single command to type, the user might create a file, change its permissions, and verify with ls -l . The window tracks progress with markers like [x] , [>] , and [ ] so it is clear where the user is. I also fixed bugs I found while testing the flow: The lesson window didn’t reset the filesystem between practices. If you completed mkdir projects once, replaying the lesson would fail because the folder already existed. Now the filesystem resets to a clean state at the start of every practice lesson. Sudo commands weren’t detected by the practice check. The checker only saw the inner command ( chown root file.txt ), not the full sudo chown root file.txt . Fixed by passing the full command through. Lesson 25 no longer has a practice - it just says “Congratulations! You finished Teach Terminal.” with a short message about what the user learned.

Ships:
Teach Terminal I made Teach Terminal - a browser-based Linux terminal simulator for learning basic Linux commands. The main problem I wanted to solve is that learning Linux from documentation can be very passive. You read what cd or chmod does, but you don’t really remember it until you use it yourself. Also, using a real Linux system can be a little scary for beginners because one wrong command can cause problems. Teach Terminal gives you a fake Linux filesystem where you can practice without breaking a real computer. You can log in, choose a mode, and start learning. There are 25 lessons in 5 sections: Introduction, Navigation, Files, Text & Redirection, and Permissions. Every lesson has a small lecture and then practice. In the practice you need to type commands yourself, for example pwd , ls -la , chmod 755 , or sudo chown root file.txt . The terminal gives output and errors similar to what you can get in a real Ubuntu terminal. Note: This is a simulation. It does not enforce all Linux permissions and security rules, so some commands may behave differently than on a real system. What was challenging The fake filesystem was one of the harder parts. I made two classes for it. FileSystem handles the filesystem tree and navigation, and file represents the individual files and folders. It also stores things like permissions, owner, size and modification date. Getting absolute paths working was also a little difficult. I needed to go from the current file or folder to its parents until I reach the root. It is kind of like following a linked list backwards. Another problem was checking commands in multi-step practices. For example, when a user runs sudo chown root file.txt , the practice checker needs to check the whole command and not only chown root file.txt . I also had problems with resetting the practice state. If I make a folder with mkdir projects and then start the same practice again, it will fail because the folder already exists. So I needed to reset the practice filesystem when starting it again. Things I am happy with The lesson engine is probably the part I worked most on. It handles the lecture, practice, success state, and the progress for each step. I also made the lesson window draggable and minimizable. Pressing Escape can toggle the window. The terminal currently supports 16 commands and some extra features like flags, redirection ( > , >> , < , 2> ), tab autocomplete, arrow-key command history, and sudo with password checking. I also added 3 themes: Ubuntu, Hacker and Kali. The themes are used across the different pages. How to test Open the demo link. Go to Settings and choose a theme: Ubuntu, Hacker, or Kali. Log in with a valid username, machine name and password. Choose Guided Path if you want to try the lessons, or Free Exploration if you just want to use the terminal. In a lesson, read the lecture and click Start Practice . Type the commands in the terminal and follow the steps. Some commands you can try: pwd ls -la mkdir test cd test touch file.txt chmod 755 file.txt sudo chown root file.txt The project is made with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I didn’t use frameworks or external dependencies....

I have made some cool Progress! I added an register flow (with db) and account code generation. There are still some “minor” bugs, but its good enough for the 1. devlog.
Added background system for domain registration, and a new auth system so that you dont have to input an topt code every 10s
Finalised and tested OTP/login/register flow, added support for subdomain-creation and added the m,ethodes to interact with namecheap api. Sadly namecheap is currently blocking all requests and idk why… Even though I added the correct api key AND the correct ip…. gotta see what I can do.
fixxed the problem with namecheap, added support to make domains, added mayor Commenting for interested people to understand what my thoughts are on why stuff what made that way
Secured the Homepage, added that the real A level names get pulled from the DNS server (Namecheap) instead of just the safed entries in the database, so that it “auto-syncs” on each new request the names from the dns provider and my personal entries dont get overwritten. The next step would be to either add an small website scraper to verify the connected websites that they are sfw and dont do bad stuff (cause thats still my domain and I am getting to jail if smth happens) Or add more different html error/sucsess types so that they are acutally usefull Or to Make the Admin integrations for (un) Banning members, (re)setting the domains or smth Or to enhance the sites with some css/better html styling cause I think my rating is getting obliverated if I let them how they are right now…
Added The Admin System (Well the Logging part) I Made varius different types of logs. One for New Domains, one for varius stuff, one for Bans, etc. And They look pretty Okay!
Made the HTML sites more dynamic, and added MINIMAL logic to the code to make the HTML sites more dynamic and yeah. They still look no good, but i dont know css or html soooooo i will need some more time… (Wich is good because more time = more stardust ;) ) It broke everything existing. I dont know why or how. But heyyyyy, thats gonna be fine or something
debugged, fixxed and removed useless stuff. Began on recommenting and added an (empty) readme file
Deployed The Website! But Wait, why Isnt this the ship Message? Because, I sadly found a few bugs and wrong Grammar/text on the website, wich I will Fix Today a bit later, and then, it goes to one last round of Beta Testing and then I will ship (Hopefully no bugs emerge)! Im pretty hyped, as I can see the end of this Projekt!! Cant wait to share what I build!!
I wanted to Ship today but YAY DEBUGGING DAY! Well, thanks to zsharpminor (sorry, I only know your dc name ) and two of my real Live friends We found some bugs. And afther an hour or so of fixing stuff, There are still Bugs. Well, Gonna ship another Day! (And btw, YAY Day 20 Of 21 of Code everyday for a Pluschi!!!)
fixxed (All?) Bugss, gonna ship Now!
fixxed stuff, clarified in readme ai usage, Redeployed everything.
Ships:
I made a Free SUbdomain Hosting plattform! Anyone can get a Free subdomain of the *.freedomain.meme domain, as long as its only per account. Please Note while testing: The domain May (or may not?) take up to 30-60 minutes to come up, this is because of Namecheap and I cant do anything about it! You can Only make 1 Domain per Useraccount You need an 2 Factor app on your phone You can Not change your password, we generated it for you. On the TEST Ip, you WILL GET an Certificate warning. If this were not our test IP, you would be able to use certbot or similar programms that allow you to generate an Certificate for your site. However, as we Don’t know your subdomain name, we cant do that and because of that there is an Warning (should be skippable, goto show more and then continue to site)...

I started the project by making a simple bootstrap structure
I made the allignment better, made the navbar dark and I made the about section a real (visible) container and gave it a blur effect, next I added a cool background
I added an logo to the navbar and made the beginning of my Projects section, i’m completing that section later.
Today added many small changes! To start I added a Favicon (simple but needed) I did some content changes, and I added a brand new “Hackatime Stats” section, because i think it’s cool if you can see real time data, this works perfect, I added programming language stats, 356 day activity and a button to my Hackatime profile, another thing I did was making the project section nice, I added real content, the right images, hand-written descriptions and buttons and links, I added Yixboost Games, ChessOverAPI and JustTitanium.
Today I did not have that much time, but I gave the navbar a nice blurred glass effect, added an scroll to top button that appears when you scroll down (Credits: https://github.com/mdbootstrap/bootstrap-back-to-top-button ), I also made the buttons inside the project cards nicer. Some small changes everywhere, but every minute counts!
Today I added some cool stuff! I started with designing a new background image with nicer colors, it’s self made in GIMP, the .xcf file is in the /assets/images folder Then I wanted to add something happy to the startpage, so i got an image of this Hack Club guy with a flag and added it to the right of the ‘Who am I?’ section (terrible positioning a div is not so fun to do), by the way, I renamed that, it was called the ‘About’ section, but that’s boring….

Today i added animations, typing effect, moving images, small content updates, and i added a better README, and most important! I published it on jonas.yixboost.dev!
Made the Hackclub guy transparent and outline-only, made javascript to load projects from projects.json and I used swiper.js to put the project cards inside a 3D carousel
Today I added an animated pacman with ghost and pacman made with css animations, and I redesigned the Hackatime section widgets by looking at the documentation for the widgets
I added an ‘What am I doing right now?’ section with a music widget that displays my now playing music, it auto-updates the background gradient and badge colors by getting the main colors from the songs cover image, it gets the now playing song from the Last.fm API, and my Last.fm profile is connected to my JellyFin server. I also added two extra projects to the carousel, “This website” and “The Jump 3000”
Today is my longest devlog!

Added badges section Added some cool 88x31 badges to a section on my website! Including badges about the site, my favorite software, games and more!
Small CSS fixes, better README and updated screenshot
Added project information page with automatic loading from my JSON projects list. Also made some CSS and html changes to clean up like removing tags and better css positioning.
Added steam currently playing game to the “What am I doing right now?” section. It uses an API proxy for current playing games I made with python running in docker: https://git.tuxworld.nl/jonas/steam-now-playing
Ships:
I made a redesign of my personal website, it’s a complete rebuild from scratch, I wanted to replace my personal website with one I completely made myself without AI.

I had to find out how to SSH using IPv6 address, fix the npm installation failure due to the lack of a package.json file and securely create .env variables directly in the server using nano editor. What are you proud of? The thing I am proud of is the ability to run my bot constantly in the background. Creating a systemd file for the first time and seeing the status “active (running)” on the server means I have managed to deploy an application that works constantly.

Initially ran into timeout issue with IPv4 IP, but was able to connect through my public IPv6 IP. The Blocker: Installed Git and Node.js on my server, then cloned my repo. My npm install command was unsuccessful since I hadn’t pushed my package.json file. Quickly fixed this by adding the package.json file through GitHub UI and running git pull on the server. Going 24/7: Manually created my .env file in the server. To keep my bot running even when I close my computer, I created my own systemd background service (slackbot.service) for the node process. Result: Success!"}]...

Initially ran into timeout issue with IPv4 IP, but was able to connect through my public IPv6 IP. The Blocker: Installed Git and Node.js on my server, then cloned my repo. My npm install command was unsuccessful since I hadn’t pushed my package.json file. Quickly fixed this by adding the package.json file through GitHub UI and running git pull on the server. Going 24/7: Manually created my .env file in the server. To keep my bot running even when I close my computer, I created my own systemd background service (slackbot.service) for the node process. Result: Success!
Ships:
What did you build? I created a custom Slack bot using Node.js and @slack /bolt framework on a Hack Club Nest Linux server that constantly works as a systemd background process and reacts to slash commands all day long. What was tricky? Working in the Linux command line was difficult at first. I had to find out how to SSH using IPv6 address, fix the npm installation failure due to the lack of a package.json file and securely create .env variables directly in the server using nano editor. What are you proud of? The thing I am proud of is the ability to run my bot constantly in the background. Creating a systemd file for the first time and seeing the status “active (running)” on the server means I have managed to deploy an application that works constantly. What should people know to test your project? In order to test the project, one has to join the workspace with the bot on Slack and use the slash command. As it works constantly on Nest, it will instantly respond without any need of my laptop being turned on....

For table.at() I just added a filler script to the front of the src that defines it, but I can’t realistically catch everything so I a segment in the loading of the bot that runs the code once and checks for a crash or parsing error from the engine and if it fails then it doesn’t import the bot into the bot table.

The request system is arguably the coolest part of this project, but I feel obligated to also explain that some of the request system was assisted by AI (meaning that AI wrote code, I read it, and then reimplemented it with the same general idea) and also ai DID write the leaderboard grabber which just grabs all of the bots’ id’s that I can use to find their links and grab the src, but ONLY the leaderboard parser, not the bot page parser. Ok, with that out of the way, how does this really work? well basically I take and parse the current leaderboard stream at defector.hackclub.com/_app/remote/1jsclqx/leaderboardData . Then with that info, I manually take the bot IDs given with that and shove them into this template: https://defector.hackclub.com/bot/(bot ID here) . That spits out an HTML page, so I use BeautifulSoup to parse it with this absolute horror of a line: BeautifulSoup(response.text, \"html.parser\").find_all(\"pre\")[-1].get_text() and extract the source code, before writing them into a file in the botCache folder in the CWD. Then I load the file as normal, just like any other bot. Thirdly, The Bot Selection System! The bot selection system works by just replacing the normal leaderboard widget with a DirectoryTree widget and then setting it to show the current working directory, or CWD. I then use a custom sorter script to show only folders and .js files. whenever a JS script is clicked, it just imports it as a normal bot. Finally, we have UI Improvements! I added zebra tiling to the leaderboard to make it more readable, made buttons disable themselves during certain actions like disabling the run button when refreshing, and fixed a few little UI bugs.

Added a background for the search section, creates the sections step-by-step and autoscrolls for a smooth and clear experience. Looks a lot better than the old UI, honestly. **Added iTunes Search, using iTunes API. It gives generally different results than MusicBrainz, so you’ll usually find the album you’re looking for in one of them. Importing is somewhat functional but causes a lot of issues. This will likely be removed before release. Rating comments look better (gray when blank, scrolling for long comments) Rating numbers are much easier to type. Previously, the auto-formatting made it annoying to type in your rating. The format has since been fixed, and is much easier to use. Rating cells change opacity depending on how well rated the song is. Lowest opacity is 30% for a 0/10 rating, so even 0s are still visible. This makes it much easier to see what songs are rated well/poorly at a glance, and makes the page look much better.

Made the HTML files generate with a parallel JSON file, which I’ll use for data importing/exporting Added custom colors. Color Thief generates a clean palette up to 10 colors, and the user can select two to be the primary and secondary colors. This influences the entire page’s theme, since every color is derived from those two colors. The program also saves your chosen two colors in local storage, so that each page has its own selected theme. (I might move this to a JSON file, since I plan to use that for saving the tracklist info, but i’m not sure yet). On the home page, I made a pop-up box for the user to validate/customize album information before the page is made. This way, they can make the page name whatever they want instead of the automatic one. I still have to link this to the backend to sync the page names with the page generation. I finally added custom comments for the songs, which I’ve stalled for super long now. I’m debating between saving them with local storage or a seperate JSON file, so I’ve held off on the saving for now. Right now they just save in an object in the JS file. I made a top bar where the pages will go. I want the UI to look like Google tabs, with a (+) button that has a dropdown with all the pages. I fixed the entire backend and solved a bunch of problems. Before, making two pages for the same album would overwrite the old one, but now I made it make a duplicate, titled” {Album Name} 2.html” instead. I have to link this with the popup to let the user name it whatever they want, since this is going to be the page name used everywhere. I also had issues with albums with special names. For example, I knew an album titled “</3”, and the “<” and “/” would cause issues with finding the file as well as HTML formatting when generating the page. So I seperated the file name from the album name by making a separate sanitized name, which is going to be the page name. I also remember doing a ton of smaller fixes but I forgot what I did. I cleaned up the CSS in a bunch of places and made sure elements didn’t break with different-sized windows. Next, I need to Link the popup on the Search page to the backend, so the user can customize page names before making them. Make the tabs system on the top, where the user can open/close whichever pages are relevant. Let the user update the number rating, and put some album data (median rating, user rating, album comments) Let the user change the album cover in the popup and on the album page Export album pages as JSON files I’m almost done with the app and I think I can probably finish it up in a few more devlogs.

I just need to make the ratings and comments for this page, and I should be done with the album pages. After that, I’ll probably work on customizing the album page themes, since sometimes they don’t pick the best colors automatically. Then, I’ll have to do rating and comment functionality.

Basic Electron setup for the app, learning how it works. This is my first time using Electron for any project, so this will be fun.
The program can now search for albums, preview information, and load it in a new file for further use. The UI looks like a mess for now, so the next step is to fix the layout and interface. This is a great experience, learning to use the MusicBrainz API and learn how Electron works, and I’m glad to be working on this project.
UI for the homepage is coming together well, but I might update it at the end of the project. For now, there’s a theme and it looks good, so that’s good enough. I also added a Search by Release ID feature, since the MusicBrainz API search isn’t that great and oftentimes doesn’t suggest the album that I want, so now I can just paste a release ID to get the album immediately. Next steps are building the functionality for the rating pages and figuring out how to store the user-inputted page data.
I’ve made the process to generate album pages. It’s not hooked up to a script yet, so there’s no functionality, but the Search->Page Generation pipeline works perfectly. You can search for an album with MusicBrainz API (or just give a release ID) and find an album, then get a preview to make sure it’s the right album, and finally generate an album page for it. All that’s left is making the script to edit the album pages as needed. I’m guessing this will be in 3 parts: being able to edit album “hard” data, being able to input ratings and comments, and being able to export/import album pages as a file. For the last part, I would like it to be a text file or CSV file, but an HTML file could honestly be easier if all the data is written in there anyways. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now, I need to work on the former 2 parts.
Made the UI for the album pages (this is temporary, I plan to work on this a lot more later). I also added the ability to edit the album data. User input for the songs is not implemented yet, so this is all hardcoded. I spent a while trying to use ColorThief to automatically sample a background color for the album cover, but there were some issues with the package and I couldn’t get it to work, so I just hardcoded this color for now. I plan to get ColorThief (or a similar package) working soon, since the accent color is pretty important to the look of the app. My next steps are to implement song input (rating & comments) and improve the UI for this page, as well as the home page.
For the past few sessions, I’ve just been working on a dynamic theme for the album page. It automatically samples a dominant and secondary color from the album cover, and then: Creates a gradient for the banner, with both colors darkened (or lightened if needed) until it’s within a certain luminosity threshhold Darkens the primary color to create the background color Raises luminosity of the secondary color to color the tracklist numbers and “Tracklist” title. I just need to make the ratings and comments for this page, and I should be done with the album pages. After that, I’ll probably work on customizing the album page themes, since sometimes they don’t pick the best colors automatically. Then, I’ll have to do rating and comment functionality. The project is going well so far, and I think I’m close to done. I only have a few more big tasks left, and then I just have to do some finishing touches and I should be done.
I added so much this time I forgot everything I did, so this is just what I remember. Made the HTML files generate with a parallel JSON file, which I’ll use for data importing/exporting Added custom colors. Color Thief generates a clean palette up to 10 colors, and the user can select two to be the primary and secondary colors. This influences the entire page’s theme, since every color is derived from those two colors. The program also saves your chosen two colors in local storage, so that each page has its own selected theme. (I might move this to a JSON file, since I plan to use that for saving the tracklist info, but i’m not sure yet). On the home page, I made a pop-up box for the user to validate/customize album information before the page is made. This way, they can make the page name whatever they want instead of the automatic one. I still have to link this to the backend to sync the page names with the page generation. I finally added custom comments for the songs, which I’ve stalled for super long now. I’m debating between saving them with local storage or a seperate JSON file, so I’ve held off on the saving for now. Right now they just save in an object in the JS file. I made a top bar where the pages will go. I want the UI to look like Google tabs, with a (+) button that has a dropdown with all the pages. I fixed the entire backend and solved a bunch of problems. Before, making two pages for the same album would overwrite the old one, but now I made it make a duplicate, titled” {Album Name} 2.html” instead. I have to link this with the popup to let the user name it whatever they want, since this is going to be the page name used everywhere. I also had issues with albums with special names. For example, I knew an album titled “</3”, and the “<” and “/” would cause issues with finding the file as well as HTML formatting when generating the page. So I seperated the file name from the album name by making a separate sanitized name, which is going to be the page name. I also remember doing a ton of smaller fixes but I forgot what I did. I cleaned up the CSS in a bunch of places and made sure elements didn’t break with different-sized windows. Next, I need to Link the popup on the Search page to the backend, so the user can customize page names before making them. Make the tabs system on the top, where the user can open/close whichever pages are relevant. Let the user update the number rating, and put some album data (median rating, user rating, album comments) Let the user change the album cover in the popup and on the album page Export album pages as JSON files I’m almost done with the app and I think I can probably finish it up in a few more devlogs. I’m expecting two weeks until I’m ready to ship.
Returning to the Album Rater Album Rater is now fully saved using LocalStorage. I plan to add exports page exports very soon. Color palettes also save to LocalStorage and work with a pop-up button next to the edit button. To Do: Add imports/exports Tracklist editing before and after page creation Manual page creation with user-inputted album data Try another music search API (Spotify API needs premium) UI updates to polish the look Finish up and submit the project
Final update before publishing This is the final, ready-for-release version of the project. I will be working on packaging and publishing it for the next few days. Album pages can be exported with album and rating data (new button!) Home page has a new (but familiar) layout. Added a background for the search section, creates the sections step-by-step and autoscrolls for a smooth and clear experience. Looks a lot better than the old UI, honestly. **Added iTunes Search, using iTunes API. It gives generally different results than MusicBrainz, so you’ll usually find the album you’re looking for in one of them. Importing is somewhat functional but causes a lot of issues. This will likely be removed before release. Rating comments look better (gray when blank, scrolling for long comments) Rating numbers are much easier to type. Previously, the auto-formatting made it annoying to type in your rating. The format has since been fixed, and is much easier to use. Rating cells change opacity depending on how well rated the song is. Lowest opacity is 30% for a 0/10 rating, so even 0s are still visible. This makes it much easier to see what songs are rated well/poorly at a glance, and makes the page look much better. Misc. bugs were fixed, and more comments were added to the code
Final devlog Everything is ready for publishing. Submission will be finished shortly.
Ships:
I made SimpleRater, a way to quickly write in your own ratings and comments on songs you love! You can search for an album using one of 2 music databases, and rate the album song-by-song on its own, colorful theme. I kept it Simple: just rate, comment, and save; no extra unnecessary features....

I made Fogri its a simple focus timer for working on a single task at a time, you can simply add a task, select it and use the 25 min timer with short or long breaks, and finally finish the task you have been avoiding, the session shows up in your daily stats and weekly chart, the site is a single page site so no distractions, The lil challenging stuff for me was to sync the sessions and stats also manually coding after a long time of ai ....

The enemies all have one of six shapes, and the player must bring the corresponding shape to the corresponding launcher to shoot at and defeat them. As the game progresses, more types of enemies appear, which require more effort to defeat. I started this game before the summer, so this project specifically adds the new enemy types and onwards (see the git history for more info). The most challenging part of this project was teaching new players how to play. I say that because I obviously know the game better than anyone else, so it was hard for me to tell what new players would struggle with. One example is the NOT enemy, which has to be hit with the wrong shape before being hit with the right one. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to convey this concept to the player without interrupting the flow of gameplay, and eventually settled on a way to explain it with the design of the enemy, as well as an enemy reference page as a backup. Another example is the overall difficulty of the game, which some players found too difficult and others too easy. To avoid the hassle and potential negative feelings of having players manually change their difficulty, I created a dynamic difficulty system which learns from the player’s win rate to make the game easier or harder. I think I’m the proudest of the “juice” (sound and video effects, music, etc.) I added to the project. The programming and logic side of game development has always appealed to me more than the more creative side, such as choosing/making assets, so I was worried I wouldn’t get the game to look or feel good. However, after a fair amount of effort, I was able to get that aspect of the game to a place that I’m happy with, which was a good learning experience. To play the game, you can simply go to the demo link below. It’s a Unity WebGL project hosted on itch.io, so it should run on any device. Keep in mind that the game is meant to be played with a keyboard and mouse, so it may not work or be an enjoyable experience if you try it without those. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy!", "repo": "https://github.com/luke-p28/Shooting-with-Shapes", "demo": "https://thecatsmeow47.itch.io/shooting-with-shapes"}]...

I had been working on this game previously and gotten feedback on its alpha stage, but had stopped working on it recently. After I picked up the project again, my first main goal was to implement the feedback I had received on the alpha version, namely adding more enemy types. In my game, the player is on a small spaceship and must pick up ammo in geometric shapes to bring it to the corresponding launcher and use it to fend off the corresponding shape of enemy. As of now, I have added two out of four planned types. The first is the NOT enemy, which needs to be hit with any shape that is not its, then needs to be hit with its shape. The second is the hardy enemy, which simply needs to be hit twice.

I also made a fair amount of QoL updates, such as making new ammo spawn at a more intuitive time and adding offsets to different RNG instances to make the game seem more random (by preventing enemy placement from predicting enemy type, for example).
Spawner and Boss Enemies and Final Level Spawner Enemy Added the spawner enemy, which splits into two normal enemies of the same type when killed, and appears on level 18. Boss Enemy Added the boss enemy, which splits into two spawner enemies of random types once killed, and appears on level 24 (the last level) Final Level Tweaked the weights and enemy count for the last level so that one boss enemy would appear right at the end Playtesting Finished testing all the levels of the game and adjusted the weights and speeds of enemies to make later levels easier Debugging Fixed an issue where killing any spawned enemy would result in winning the level prematurely, and fixed the tutorial level, which had broken after recent changes QoL Updates Updated the checkmark asset to a better version, added an exit button to the main menu, and made enemies stop spawning after the count has been reached
Adding JUICE In this session, I focused on making the game feel good to play by adding sound effects, screen shake, and music, among other things. Background music I added five background music tracks, with one being for the ending cutscene, three alternating ones for normal gameplay, and a fifth for menu scenes. Sound effects, screen flash, particle effects, and camera shake I spruced up the game by adding a screen flash when an enemy hits the ship, particle effects when enemies are killed, a camera shake when an explosion happens or an enemy hits the ship, and sound effects for all of those events (plus clicking buttons in menus) Difficulty updates I had noticed that some players struggled with the first levels, while others breezed through them.

Debugging Finally, I fixed a multitude of bugs, such as the player respawning at the wrong Z position when falling off the map or a second music player being created when the user returned to the title screen.
Ships:
This is an arcade-style top-down shooter where the player must defend their ship from approaching enemies. The enemies all have one of six shapes, and the player must bring the corresponding shape to the corresponding launcher to shoot at and defeat them. As the game progresses, more types of enemies appear, which require more effort to defeat. I started this game before the summer, so this project specifically adds the new enemy types and onwards (see the git history for more info). The most challenging part of this project was teaching new players how to play. I say that because I obviously know the game better than anyone else, so it was hard for me to tell what new players would struggle with. One example is the NOT enemy, which has to be hit with the wrong shape before being hit with the right one. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to convey this concept to the player without interrupting the flow of gameplay, and eventually settled on a way to explain it with the design of the enemy, as well as an enemy reference page as a backup. Another example is the overall difficulty of the game, which some players found too difficult and others too easy. To avoid the hassle and potential negative feelings of having players manually change their difficulty, I created a dynamic difficulty system which learns from the player’s win rate to make the game easier or harder. I think I’m the proudest of the “juice” (sound and video effects, music, etc.) I added to the project. The programming and logic side of game development has always appealed to me more than the more creative side, such as choosing/making assets, so I was worried I wouldn’t get the game to look or feel good. However, after a fair amount of effort, I was able to get that aspect of the game to a place that I’m happy with, which was a good learning experience. To play the game, you can simply go to the demo link below. It’s a Unity WebGL project hosted on itch.io, so it should run on any device. Keep in mind that the game is meant to be played with a keyboard and mouse, so it may not work or be an enjoyable experience if you try it without those. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy!...

Pass n’ Play is a website that serves as a party game hub for all ages in which a group can play 4 unique social deduction games by passing a single device around the table. The site is inspired by a neo-brutalist design, caters towards mobile devices, and is meant to look more like an app than a standard website. What are you proud of? I am most proud of the third game I made, Signal Jam. It has the most unique features out of all 4 games and really pushed me to finalize my aesthetic of my website. It was also the game I had most fun with when play-testing with my family. Furthermore it was not a game I had drafted in my prior failed attempt of this project so I had no codebase to fall back on. What was challenging? I was shocked by how long it took me to formulate a design style for the website that consistently looks well formatted and neat. Creating this neo-brutalist inspired style was much harder than expected and I feel as though a few pages could still use some improvement. Feedback on the design and game flow of the website would be greatly appreciated by reviewers. Another thing that took most of my brainpower was figuring out the JavaScript. Unlike my CSS, it had no globalized file. Reviewers, if you are reading this, please let me know if there are better programming languages, libraries or software that are more appropriate for making a project like this. I would love to further improve my programming skills and spend less time correcting mistakes due to my inefficiencies. What should people know so you can test your project? This is a purely frontend website, so just click the “Try Project” button to explore the site. I would recommend trying to playtest a game with nearby friends or relatives if possible. If you want a quick overview of my development process, just read the initial section and bolded text of the longer devlogs. They kinda serve as a TL;DR of the project’s progress.", "repo": "https://github.com/ReuTheCoder/pass-n-play", "demo": "https://reuthecoder.github.io/pass-n-play/"}]...

I think this project is ready to ship; each game is fully playable and I think now is a good time where feedback can help me greatly improve each game so it provides the best experience possible! Completed Work: Parties With a lot of assistance from AI (when figuring out how to properly get my localStorage function working), I have incorporated a new “Party” system into each game! It allows a group to save all of their names as a “Party” to their device so that they can quickly fill in every player’s name upon loading a new game. The new system supports up to 8 parties, which can each be given a unique name. Aside from making it easier to switch games, because of its localStorage usage, if the same group of friends regularly use my website, they can skip the step of inputting their names every time they decide to play. This idea was inspired by a similar feature I saw on an app (I can’t find its name) that was very similar to Imposter Who . Right now, the system is built into each game’s game setup screen, but I am considering moving it to the home screen so that each game screen is a bit more clean. If you are a reviewer reading this, let me know if the “Party” system gets in the way. Completed Work: Round Timer I also added the option for a round timer to the Imposter game. It was relatively simple as I just had to move around the timer code I used for Signal Jam. The CSS was moved to my global CSS file and I copied over and adjusted the HTML and JS. While I was at it, I made a few more polishes, such as adding a custom designed scroll bar . Next Steps: I am going to ship the project today. I already have my README drafted, I just need to make a few edits. I am not done with this project. I’m going to wait and see what feedback I get, but some plans I have for the future are making a globalized JavaScript file, adding a custom word/prompt bank feature to most games, adding more prompts to each game, adding more party games that can be played on one screen and adding a filter and sort system to the homepage. Thanks for reading!"}, {"post_id": 74701, "ts": "2026-09-28T01:09:48Z", "hours": 7.2839, "text": "Devlog #08 Development has really slowed down now that I am entering the thick of it at school. Regardless, over the past two weekends, I finished Signal Jam and started the fourth (and final) game before shipping, The Outsider! Completed Work: Signal Jam Finishing this up was quick and smooth. I don’t remember exactly how long it took, but it was fast enough that I decided to wait until completing the idea I had sitting in the back of my mind (The Outsider) before posting another devlog. I reused the Results screen code from the previous games, tweaked the content to be specific to the game, and added a few extra if statements since this game has more win conditions. After playtesting, I made some small polish changes and committed everything. Completed Work: The Outsider This game’s flow was inspired by Chameleon. I went in expecting it to make a quick reskin of Imposter with a new word grid feature, but building that grid took more time than planned. Getting the grid to look good on both mobile and desktop was tricky. I eventually decided to lock mobile players into landscape mode so the grid would have more space and be easier to see when everyone’s looking at the same screen. Then, I had to figure out wrapping and line break issues to ensure the words were consistently displayed neatly. One technical highlight I would like to share is that, originally, I thought about storing the selected word index using a data-selected-index attribute on the grid container, but since attributes only store strings, handling 0 (the first cell index) would have required extra checks to avoid false negatives. Instead, I used a closure variable ( selectedIndex ) inside the function that built the word grid. This clean solution enables it to reset automatically each time the grid renders, which also clears the previous selection. Next Steps: The project is basically ready to ship! I’ll make one more devlog to add some localStorage features and wrap things up before release. Thanks for reading!"}, {"post_id": 67455, "ts": "2026-09-13T15:45:07Z", "hours": 9.9003, "text": "Devlog #07 The CSS Revamp is complete and the third game for Pass n’ Play is in development. After this devlog, I’m going to make sure I post more frequent devlogs. I keep procrastinating… Completed Work: Finished Polishing Website After the last devlog, I spent 4 more hours finishing up the CSS and the Imposter Game. The second installment to Pass n’ Play is now fully functional, with 156 different words to play with. It is also fully polished to a level I am ready to present, both in game flow and aesthetics. I think one thing that made this process longer than I had initially thought it would be is the fact many minute details needed adjustments throughout all my code. Since I had copied over the secret saboteur code for the imposter game before changing up the UI, I had to ensure I properly transferred the new style changes I made to the HTML and JS of the imposter game (since only my css is globalized). I finally think I have locked in the style that I would like to use for this website and that my code is a lot more organized than before. This should hopefully make development quicker in the future. Completed Work: New Game Also continuing from my last devlog, I have begun working on the third party game for Pass n’ Play: Signal Jam. Its fundamental gameplay is similar to the classic 20 Questions, however it has specialized roles which I believe create interesting dynamics and increase the fun. The game flow was inspired by another party game called Werewords. So far I have my game information, game setup, main discussion and voting screens done. It currently has 75 unique words as game prompts. I’m finding it a bit hard to add additional insightful details because I am basically repeating the process I had to make the Imposter. So, I’m going to describe how I have refined my process to work a bit faster than with the Imposter game. I first made the Game Information page so I have all the rules established. Each game is its own file that keeps all files specific to the game within it. So in order to write the game information I copied the Secret Saboteur info.html and edited the content to explain the rules for Signal Jam. This page has no JavaScript and was already linked to my generalized info.css file, so I did not have to do anything else. After that, I started building the game in sections, starting with all the code I would need up to the discussion screen. For the HTML, I would copy over individual blocks of code I knew I could reuse (often editing them to fit the language of the new game), note what new components I needed, and research how I could add it to the game. For instance, this game has a round timer, which no other game had, so I had to add a few new HTML and JS elements. Also, to keep things organized, instead of adding more stuff to the main game.css file, I used a separate style.css page. Once everything was polished to a level I was happy with, I started on the next chunk of my game. I continued this process until the game was completed. This was much better than what I did before for the Imposter game where I basically duplicated all the code for Secret Saboteur and then scoured through it to see what I needed to change and remove.

I paused development for a few weeks in order to finish another website idea I had been working on. I honestly then procrastinated on working on this again once I realized I had to readjust and familiarize myself to the inner workings of my old code. It was definitely more disorganised than I had remembered leaving it. When I did eventually start, school was also beginning, so I have only been able to work on it in small intervals throughout the week. This slow development, combined with the roadblocks I stumbled upon (as described below) made the past 10 hours of development time come quite unexpectedly. Completed Work: Imposter Game Functionality As I said in the last devlog, I would begin to work on my second game: Imposter. I got the HTML done relatively quickly. I would say about half of my time was spent finishing the game logic for my Imposter game, which is now fully functional. It honestly took longer than I thought because my code for Secret Saboteur did not translate as smoothly as I thought it would to the imposter game. Directly copy-pasting the Secret Saboteur code for the Imposter game led to a few errors, and I spent a lot of time combing through the imposter code to figure out what needed to be changed or removed from the secret saboteur code. I definitely need to figure out a better approach for adding new games. Fortunately, I have been able to implement Secret Sabouter’s CSS without many issues. Completed Work: Design Revamp As I was working on Imposter, I had been brainstorming ways to improve the UI and had settled on a few ideas. So before polishing the CSS for the Imposter game, I decided to revamp and finalize the UI for the secret saboteur game. With my old design, I felt as though everything was competing for attention. I think I used the card style way too often, which did not bring much diversity to the design and made organization a bit fuzzy. With my new design changes, I believe my design now has more breathing room and utilizes each game’s accent colors more directly. I also tried to make my shadow sizes, border radii and spacing a bit more consistent. Instead of using emojis, I have been trying to complete SVG icons. I sourced them from Lucide’s Lucide and Bootstrap’s icon libraries. This definitely took up most of my time. Completing this took a lot longer than I was expecting. I think one reason time flew by so quickly is because when I first tried to change up my design, I messed up a lot of things. Midway through the process, I was questioning if doing this was a mistake, because I had ruined the look of Secret Saboteur and caused its game flow to stop working due to inconsistently changing a few class names. If I had to do this again, I would take note of exactly what I changed so I can easily work through errors and debugging. I also found that as I was redoing my design, I ended up cleaning up a bit of my Javascript and CSS in the process. There was quite a bit of code from abandoned ideas still hanging around. Next Steps: I would not say the Imposter Game or the design changes are completely done. Those 10 hours snuck up on me; I think I need to spend a bit more time getting each of my games the level of polish I would like. However, I don;t think it will take too long, as I am really close to finishing this “polishing” process. After that, I’m going to try and add two more games before making my first ship.

The core functionality was finished shortly after posting the last devlog (about 3.5 hours of coding in), but the real work happened afterward. In order to make the game feel more polished and actually part of the Pass n’ Play design system I had to tighten the layout, fix hierarchy inconsistencies, and clean up the UI. Completed Work: Javascript Right after posting the last devlog, I realized I had completely forgotten to implement the Guesser role. Once I added it, I noticed I had accidentally configured the game so the first player always became the guesser. This meant rewriting a section of my assignRoles() function so roles actually randomize correctly. After that, I finished the Javascript for both the guessing screen and the results screen. The biggest friction point was the saboteur button layout. I originally formatted them in a column, but switching to rows made the spacing and logic behave properly. The longest debugging issue came from something small. I had removed a header from the info popup in my HTML, but forgot to delete the Javascript function that controlled it. This “ghost” function caused a whole section of my script to stop working, and I kept thinking I had broken other functions. Once I finally noticed and removed the unused function, everything went back to normal. Completed Work: CSS Once the game was functional, I felt the CSS still looked unpolished. The text inside <main> did not feel like part of the same physical UI system as the buttons and headers. I rebuilt these text blocks into proper card badges so they look like real components instead of raw HTML. I also inverted the text hierarchy for the game header, removed redundant labels, and cleaned up the popup by removing the extra close anchor and header (which caused the Javascript issue mentioned earlier). I also spent time making sure the design would translate well to mobile. With some research and AI help (which only confirmed formatting issues and did not write code), I updated my layout so everything uses a unified 600px max‑width. This prevents the header from overflowing on smaller screens and makes the whole app feel like a cohesive handheld interface. The button grids now collapse into balanced two‑column stacks on narrow displays. While doing this, I adjusted a few element styles, reorganized the setup elements into a clean vertical column grid, and grouped Play Again and New Game into a structural wrapper so their spacing is predictable. Overall, making the spacing and alignment more intentional helped the entire interface feel more cohesive. Next Steps I am now starting work on Pass n’ Play’s second game: Imposter, based on the “Imposter Who?” party game that was popular earlier this year. I am also still unhappy with how the Game Setup screen looks, so I will probably adjust it soon. Any advice on improving the design would be greatly appreciated.

I should also note I used AI for some tedious tasks, like checking the game’s 105 discussion prompts (most of which I derived from the oold game version) for duplicates or adjusting ones that weren’t broad enough for a general audience. Completing CSS Even though I started with JavaScript, I eventually drifted into CSS (partly because I wanted a break, and partly because I wasn’t sure how clean my HTML structure was). I swapped back and forth between working on JS and CSS until I accidentally completed most of the styling. Implementing the CSS helped me see where I needed more classes or where the markup was missing hooks for interactivity. For instance, writing the CSS made it easy to envision and test how the progression button would look when disabled or enabled (depending on if all the required information on the game setup screen was complete).

Devlog #06 It certainly has been a while since my last devlog! I paused development for a few weeks in order to finish another website idea I had been working on.

Devlog #07 The CSS Revamp is complete and the third game for Pass n’ Play is in development. After this devlog, I’m going to make sure I post more frequent devlogs. I keep procrastinating… Completed Work: Finished Polishing Website After the last devlog, I spent 4 more hours finishing up the CSS and the Imposter Game. The second installment to Pass n’ Play is now fully functional, with 156 different words to play with. It is also fully polished to a level I am ready to present, both in game flow and aesthetics. I think one thing that made this process longer than I had initially thought it would be is the fact many minute details needed adjustments throughout all my code. Since I had copied over the secret saboteur code for the imposter game before changing up the UI, I had to ensure I properly transferred the new style changes I made to the HTML and JS of the imposter game (since only my css is globalized). I finally think I have locked in the style that I would like to use for this website and that my code is a lot more organized than before. This should hopefully make development quicker in the future. Completed Work: New Game Also continuing from my last devlog, I have begun working on the third party game for Pass n’ Play: Signal Jam. Its fundamental gameplay is similar to the classic 20 Questions, however it has specialized roles which I believe create interesting dynamics and increase the fun. The game flow was inspired by another party game called Werewords. So far I have my game information, game setup, main discussion and voting screens done. It currently has 75 unique words as game prompts. I’m finding it a bit hard to add additional insightful details because I am basically repeating the process I had to make the Imposter. So, I’m going to describe how I have refined my process to work a bit faster than with the Imposter game. I first made the Game Information page so I have all the rules established. Each game is its own file that keeps all files specific to the game within it. So in order to write the game information I copied the Secret Saboteur info.html and edited the content to explain the rules for Signal Jam. This page has no JavaScript and was already linked to my generalized info.css file, so I did not have to do anything else. After that, I started building the game in sections, starting with all the code I would need up to the discussion screen. For the HTML, I would copy over individual blocks of code I knew I could reuse (often editing them to fit the language of the new game), note what new components I needed, and research how I could add it to the game. For instance, this game has a round timer, which no other game had, so I had to add a few new HTML and JS elements. Also, to keep things organized, instead of adding more stuff to the main game.css file, I used a separate style.css page. Once everything was polished to a level I was happy with, I started on the next chunk of my game. I continued this process until the game was completed. This was much better than what I did before for the Imposter game where I basically duplicated all the code for Secret Saboteur and then scoured through it to see what I needed to change and remove. Next Steps: I primarily need to complete the game (which is almost done, I just need to make the Results Screen!) Afterwards, I want to add a custom word bank feature to the game that saves with localStorage and an option to add a round timer to the discussion screen. Finally, I got to think of one more game to add before I ship. Thanks for reading!
Devlog #08 Development has really slowed down now that I am entering the thick of it at school. Regardless, over the past two weekends, I finished Signal Jam and started the fourth (and final) game before shipping, The Outsider! Completed Work: Signal Jam Finishing this up was quick and smooth. I don’t remember exactly how long it took, but it was fast enough that I decided to wait until completing the idea I had sitting in the back of my mind (The Outsider) before posting another devlog. I reused the Results screen code from the previous games, tweaked the content to be specific to the game, and added a few extra if statements since this game has more win conditions. After playtesting, I made some small polish changes and committed everything. Completed Work: The Outsider This game’s flow was inspired by Chameleon. I went in expecting it to make a quick reskin of Imposter with a new word grid feature, but building that grid took more time than planned. Getting the grid to look good on both mobile and desktop was tricky. I eventually decided to lock mobile players into landscape mode so the grid would have more space and be easier to see when everyone’s looking at the same screen. Then, I had to figure out wrapping and line break issues to ensure the words were consistently displayed neatly. One technical highlight I would like to share is that, originally, I thought about storing the selected word index using a data-selected-index attribute on the grid container, but since attributes only store strings, handling 0 (the first cell index) would have required extra checks to avoid false negatives. Instead, I used a closure variable ( selectedIndex ) inside the function that built the word grid. This clean solution enables it to reset automatically each time the grid renders, which also clears the previous selection. Next Steps: The project is basically ready to ship! I’ll make one more devlog to add some localStorage features and wrap things up before release. Thanks for reading!
Devlog #09 I got some spare time to work today, so I thought I would add a few tiny features to elevate the Pass n’ Play experience. I think this project is ready to ship; each game is fully playable and I think now is a good time where feedback can help me greatly improve each game so it provides the best experience possible! Completed Work: Parties With a lot of assistance from AI (when figuring out how to properly get my localStorage function working), I have incorporated a new “Party” system into each game! It allows a group to save all of their names as a “Party” to their device so that they can quickly fill in every player’s name upon loading a new game. The new system supports up to 8 parties, which can each be given a unique name. Aside from making it easier to switch games, because of its localStorage usage, if the same group of friends regularly use my website, they can skip the step of inputting their names every time they decide to play. This idea was inspired by a similar feature I saw on an app (I can’t find its name) that was very similar to Imposter Who . Right now, the system is built into each game’s game setup screen, but I am considering moving it to the home screen so that each game screen is a bit more clean. If you are a reviewer reading this, let me know if the “Party” system gets in the way. Completed Work: Round Timer I also added the option for a round timer to the Imposter game. It was relatively simple as I just had to move around the timer code I used for Signal Jam. The CSS was moved to my global CSS file and I copied over and adjusted the HTML and JS. While I was at it, I made a few more polishes, such as adding a custom designed scroll bar . Next Steps: I am going to ship the project today. I already have my README drafted, I just need to make a few edits. I am not done with this project. I’m going to wait and see what feedback I get, but some plans I have for the future are making a globalized JavaScript file, adding a custom word/prompt bank feature to most games, adding more prompts to each game, adding more party games that can be played on one screen and adding a filter and sort system to the homepage. Thanks for reading!

What did you make? Pass n’ Play is a website that serves as a party game hub for all ages in which a group can play 4 unique social deduction games by passing a single device around the table. The site is inspired by a neo-brutalist design, caters towards mobile devices, and is meant to look more like an app than a standard website. What are you proud of? I am most proud of the third game I made, Signal Jam. It has the most unique features out of all 4 games and really pushed me to finalize my aesthetic of my website. It was also the game I had most fun with when play-testing with my family. Furthermore it was not a game I had drafted in my prior failed attempt of this project so I had no codebase to fall back on. What was challenging? I was shocked by how long it took me to formulate a design style for the website that consistently looks well formatted and neat. Creating this neo-brutalist inspired style was much harder than expected and I feel as though a few pages could still use some improvement. Feedback on the design and game flow of the website would be greatly appreciated by reviewers. Another thing that took most of my brainpower was figuring out the JavaScript. Unlike my CSS, it had no globalized file. Reviewers, if you are reading this, please let me know if there are better programming languages, libraries or software that are more appropriate for making a project like this. I would love to further improve my programming skills and spend less time correcting mistakes due to my inefficiencies. What should people know so you can test your project? This is a purely frontend website, so just click the “Try Project” button to explore the site. I would recommend trying to playtest a game with nearby friends or relatives if possible. If you want a quick overview of my development process, just read the initial section and bolded text of the longer devlogs. They kinda serve as a TL;DR of the project’s progress....

I built a chaotic, WarioWare-style collection of microgames in Godot where players have exactly 6.7 seconds to figure out and complete rapid-fire tasks, such as a platforming challenge to collect three garlics. The most challenging part was debugging the UI and player movement while figuring out how to manage global game states—like tracking the player’s four lives and overall progress—across completely isolated scenes. I am incredibly proud of the modular scene architecture I created, especially the standalone, reusable countdown timer that seamlessly triggers instant transitions to the next minigame, victory screen, or game-over screen via a global Autoload script. To test the game, reviewers don’t need to download or install anything; you can simply click the live itch.io link to play the HTML5 export directly in your web browser, using the Arrow Keys (or A/D) to move and Space (or W/Up) to jump.

To properly test the project, players should dive into the live Itch.io demo or download the standalone executable, bearing in mind that they possess exactly five lives to conquer all four rapid-fire levels and must brace themselves for instantaneous, unpredictable gameplay shifts.
I developed Triple-T Games—a relentless, WarioWare-inspired 2D microgame gauntlet built in Godot 4 that thrusts players through a seamless sequence of high-stakes micro-challenges, ranging from precision platforming to dynamic spatial tracking. Bringing this vision to life meant pushing my engineering limits; my biggest hurdle was architecting a robust global state manager and deferred physics system to handle rapid scene swaps, custom setting toggles, and dynamic difficulty scaling without dropping frames or triggering crashes. I am immensely proud of the project’s modular foundation, smooth Tween-driven game feel, and code-driven signals that weave these chaotic minigames into a cohesive survival loop. To test your skill, dive into the live Itch.io demo or grab the standalone build, tweak your difficulty, and brace yourself—you have exactly five lives to survive the entire gauntlet.
I developed Triple-T Games, a fast-paced, Tung Tung Sahur-themed 2D minigame experience inspired by the rapid-fire structure of WarioWare, using the Godot 4.1 game engine. The project comprises five distinct microgames, each designed around a different gameplay paradigm, including physics-based platforming, precision clicking, AI-driven Pong, dynamic object interception, and a physics-intensive Snooker Rush. I am particularly proud of the project’s modular architecture, responsive gameplay systems, and sophisticated physics implementation, especially the utilisation of RigidBody2D, collision bodies, dynamic signals, scene groups, and deferred physics-safe transitions. Developing the project also presented several technical challenges, particularly in ensuring seamless scene transitions, synchronising global lives and progression across independent minigames, managing collision events without disrupting the physics engine, and creating consistent difficulty and timing systems. Players should know that the game is intended to be experienced as a rapid, reaction-oriented survival gauntlet: begin with five lives, navigate the sequence of challenges, make effective use of the settings and level-skip functionality, and attempt to survive the entire progression. The project can be played directly through the Itch.io browser-based demo, allowing the complete experience to be tested without additional configuration....

For example commands that would only work if they where run by a player needed now to check first if the command caller is the server actually itself. Actions I never used github actions or something like that. So i did the normal thing and created a runner for my own forgejo git instance and build an action without understanding more than 60% of it or even less. While i did not manage to create a docker build process i managed to create an action which builds my gradle java project with shadowjar and puts all required files into a zip which gets saved to my repo as an artifact file to be downloaded and executed instantly. turns out it is really dumb to try create an action on an runner which uses podman which uses docker in docker in a container which now should have installed docker inside of that to build an image? IDK man i have to sleep at some point Ghosts I have already made a system letting games make players ghosts who can’t interact with the world around them. Now i have made it like hypixel does it. Players are getting hidden from all other players. Not by giving them an invisible potion or something. The server lets players disappear by just not sending information about their whereabouts to the other players oh and they are in a survival mode but can still fly. TO NOT LET THEM ESCAPE MUHAHA i am evil or something. Oh and new commands I have made small commands which i though would be fun. hide Tell server to hide your player account by the same principle as the ghost system. fly Enable flying for your player account. stop Literally stops the server help A help command which tells players all about the commands they can access with their permissions nickname Kicks you but after joining again you will be logged in as another account name with the others skin etc. Only your uuid will stay the same to still be able to fetch your accurate permission etc. on the server. (of course this and most of the others commands on this level are behind permissions and can’t be accessed that easily) By, by Hope you have a great rest of a good day! I am currently on vacation and therefore have to use my Labtop instead of my PC.

I now have implemented one which allows banning players even if they are not on the server by using Mojang’s public API to get the uuid of players with their name. This uuid gets saved alongside a ban time and a reason for the ban to the sqlite database. The players are also automatically kicked when the writing to the database happens. Each time players try to connect to the server it first checks if they are banned or not. If yes they kick them instantly again with information for them about how long the ban is etc. Players get also automatically unbanned if they ban time runs out.

They can view information about the report like who is reported, when is reported, why is reported.

Oh no i forgot to do a post 👀 Well, here we are 16 hours in… again. Context I am programming a mini game server for Minecraft with Minestom, a library which allows me to create my own server from scratch. (in java) Overview of what i have done Added a server side console where an administrator can input commands which the server executes with a library called jLine Tried making a workflow for automatically building with some success Made a Spleef game prototype Improved the ghost player system Made a ui makeover for chat elements (again again) Added some new abilities/commands Server side console I have added a console thing where, after the server started, somebody with access to the terminal can run commands as the server with all permissions. For that i used a lib called jLine to make it just like the consoles most Minecraft server administrators should be familiar with. The actual hard part was that i had to rewrite some of the code i already have done. For example commands that would only work if they where run by a player needed now to check first if the command caller is the server actually itself.

Programming a in game world editor because i am too lazy to create server code for axiom or other tools Context I am creating a custom mini game server for Minecraft with Minestom A library allowing to write a java Minecraft server from scratch Today i spent most of my time building a in game world editor functioning similar to the popular world edit plugin. My little twist is that i use the new displayblocks Minecraft offers to make a visual appealing selection box of what you selected. It is ridicules how long it took me >:( I also made it possible to load specific worlds and edit them which are saved after you are finished this way i could for example modify the TntRun game world a bit to my liking while the server runs but these modifications made are permanent. Normally worlds don’t get saved after the mini game is finished. So now i could just rely on my own tools instead of having to create a world in vanilla Minecraft and then import them into my Minestom project. I also touched the idea of trying to implement protocol code of Luanti or formally known as Minetest which works with Minestom to let players join through Minetest for people who don’t want to use proprietary applications or don’t have an account for regular Minecraft. But i will probably fail at that task because it is waaay over my head :|
CTRL+Z would be useful i think Context I am creating my own mini game server for Minecraft withe Minestom, a java library to create your own server for Minecraft from scratch. I managed to get the build tool to a moderate level of usability. You can now: select an area over wooden axe over pos1 and pos2 command fill selected area setblock at specific position replace blocks in selected area undo & redo actions you did give yourself an item you need and don’t find in creative menu like a light block or a command block or something I also made the world where you can edit maps calculate light in the world. Thanks to that i managed to fix some light issues i had previously with my lobby map. Now i don’t have to give all player night vision the entire time.
I like snow Context I am creating a mini game server for Minecraft with a java library named Minestom which allows you to create a server from scratch for Minecraft Today i continued programming my in world editor. Now you can copy & paste structures. You also can now create a sphere if you want. The snow thing in the title is about the newest game. A snow ball fight game where you have to throw others from the map by throwing snow balls. Did you know that snow balls are not real projectiles because they can’t hit players. It is a bit hard to make them hit players. I also made the map for the spleef game & already created a map for the snow ball fight game. Both were now made with my own in game editor without additional tools.
I totally not know what title i should write down Context I am trieng to create a mini game server for Minecraft with the help of Minestom which is a java library toolkit to create servers from scratch I only have minor changes to tell you because I am working on a BIG thing right now but i don’t know if it is going to work. But this is what i have added/changed Added teleport command to throw my friend around while testing because they are non technical and somehow don’t get used to the commands i made :( Made banned players get kicked while in the login phase instead of when they are already logged in Added a line shape to my in game world editor Now the world editor takes care of worlds itself instead of having to work with messy code working with the default games manager thing i created Created a rank. Players can now have ranks like idk “admin” or “dev” & so on. They are only visual in the tab list and everywhere else their names are. and i had fun with redo/undo feature of the in game editor as you can see in the pictures
Trying to create a Luanti server in java+ need to devlog because of 10 hours time limit Soooo i don’t have anything to show. I can only tell you that is stupidly hard to create the protocol implementation of luanti if the entire docs to it is one page in the wiki and the rest c++ source code. Now i not only learning java but also c++. Could be worse because i already know C. Talking about slight progress You can see in the video below a demonstration of a UDP socket receiving data from the actual Luanti client. As you can see i already managed to parse some parts of the protocol. Currntly i am sitting on refining this a bit + implementing the init process. Till now i only managed to set the peerId of the luanti client. (peerId is, when i understood correctly, just an id the server gives clients to track them. After a client recieves this id it uses it to contact the server next time)
No time left for luanti server programming :( Context : I am programming a server for Minecraft with a java library called Minestom. I plan to make a minigame server. The plan turned out to also now program functionality for supporting luanti/minetest players. To be honest i don’t think i can make everything fully work with luanti until the end of stardance. That is why i will focus more on getting everything shipped now. Sadly only for Minecraft, so some of you can’t play :(. But i want to still continue this project after stardance ends and maybe someday i get it to work. The current state of luanti support I managed to parse some more specific parts of each packet. But as you can see in the video i am not finished with the init sequence. What i have done is the init, authantication, version selection and some more smaller thingis. The rest would be to send over item, node, wheather, time etc. data which all use custom data objects and don’t have any documantation so i need to figure it out from like 6 different c++ files. Minigames I started programming on the server again. Now i have made a color party game where you have to stay on the right color and the rest disappears. And I refined my snowball game, where you have to hit other players from the map. Now the snowballs automatically despawn. Fin What the hell was with last post? 200 views?!?! is it because i have an terminal emulator open? or because “server” is in the title? ;) PS: Had to post again because of time limit of 10 hours.
Fixing up stuff Context : I am creating a mini game server for Minecraft with a java library called Minestom which allows the creation of servers for Minecraft Short summary Made new docker setup implementation deleted old docker setup and made new one added geyser and floodgate Created NPC’s in lobby that can be right clicked to join games Build map for color party game Now permissions of offline players can be changed Moved from anvil loader to polar/shematics Finally made server stop cleanly after /stop command is sent by players Redesigned the win/loose screen for each player Added some more error handling to specific commands Added /stat command to see some stats in game about the server New docker setup Last time i didn’t get quite how to build a docker file inside my workflow and now i don’t even try again because time . What i did is that i have a docker directory now bundled into each build zip which contains all files needed to create a Dockerfile + a bash file to download required files from other projects like velocity proxy. + A compose file which works more or less out of the box. Non Playable Characters I finally filled my diamond blocks in my lobby with some NPC’s. Those can be interacted with instead of having to use /queue join <game> . I also did the skins of two of those. The other one is only slightly modified and the last one is the same guy from Hypixel’s TNT-Run NPC, because it was 23 o’clock and i wanted to go to sleep . What funny was that i forgot to disable my cape when i configured them with my account appearance data. They actually still have them on but i turned them invisible. Anvil to polar Anvil is the same system original Minecraft uses with region files. But those region files store a lot more data (air) than i need. So i switched to polar a community addon for Minestom that adds support to load from a shematic file instead which only stores the blocks i need. New win/loose screens Now not only is it displayed in chat who won but also we got 1., 2. and 3. place positions in case you want to know how close you missed first. Ship? Maybe?! I still try to get Minecraft bedrock running on linux because i don’t want to trust a stranger on flathub who is not verified & i wanted bedrock support but can’t test it right now :( ps: if anyone wants to try it out i would greatly appreciate it :) in a few days i will have fully set up a server on my server under foxors.de. But only java edition for now because of the bedrock thing on linux
Ready to ship? Context I have programmed, build and arranged a minigame server for Minecraft using a Java library called Minestom, which lets you create a minecraft server from scratch After more then 100 hours of work i think i am ready to do a first ship. This dev log is just about stuff i did to prepare. I added screenshots to my readme made the docker setup more easy. I filmed a little video showing some broad functionality of the server. Most loose ends are tied up and packet together. A release can be found in my forgejo instance & there is now a demo server on foxors.de:25565 The only problem is that the people who will rate this project will have a very hard time testing :(. Because they would need A: 2 Paid Minecraft java accounts or B: Set up the server on their machine and need to have the know how to play in offline mode. That is why i also made a little broad video and also put a bit of effort showing off in the README.md file in my repo. Hope someone will enjoy it :) ps if someone lives in around UTC+2 timezone i will happily play with them from 19 to 20 o’clock.
Ships:
I have made a mini game server for Minecraft from scratch with a java library called Minestom. Features include Supports Minecraft Java version 26.2 Different minigames A system which automaticly manages all game instances A queue system A party system A ban system An automatic bad word block list banner when players use words they really should not (must be configure over properties file) A report system A permission system Persistant reports/bans/permissions accross server restarts with sqlite database Configuration over properties file ooooor … by modifieng source code ;) Multible commands acting as a ‘frontend’ to all the systems some require specific permissions to execute A main program to connect everything Velocity support In game build tool to modify maps on the go Additional abilities that may be usefull fly in survival mode hide from other players change gamemode help command Visual ranks for players A console prompt that can be used to execute comands from console side NPC’s instead of commands in lobby Prebuild maps to play on for people who can’t test it normally, because the requirements are a bit messed up because it is multiplayer on a paid game please read my README.md file in my repo & watch [this broad video] ( https://foxors.de/files/ministomVideo.mp4 ) the most difficult things where Things i had to first figure out because Minestom has some methods without any javadoc nor comments in source code Another thing that was a bit frustrating was that i tried to make my own workflow with my own runner. However it did not go great and now you have to build docker images yourself, but do not worry i have made a compose and DockerFile all ready, which both worked for me. Learned a bit A great thing was that i learned a lot about Java in this project and i think it really helped me with my exam in university (our prof still makes corrections). PS: You may see the ai notice on this project. It points to a not finished part of this project which is not part of this build, just so you know :) Hope you enjoy!...

Everyone makes a personal website showing what they’ve built, accomplished, or are currently working on. . I wanted to make something that asks a slightly “different” question: “What is happening inside this mind?” . That’s basically what Light is. . Alongside the usual portfolio stuff, there’s a Lab containing unfinished ideas, abandoned projects, current obsessions, and questions I’m still thinking about… Basically,, everything a normal portfolio politely hides…🗿 . What was challenging? Lwk Everything. 😭 . I spent an absolutely unreasonable amount of time designing tiny details, animations, typography, spacing, colors, transitions, and things that probably took five seconds to notice and five hours to make…. . I wanted the homepage title to feel more like Light was being written into existence ,,, the glitch transition into the Lab to feel intentional, and every page to have its own atmosphere… (did I ever mention the fact that Light was my nickname all along?) . The three main pages use red, blue, and warm white. Because, almost everything we see can be represented through RGB,, so I treated them as three different sides of me that mix together into Idhant (w a little twist lol) Underneath them all, it’s still the same guy. Hence the same nav too :) . The geometric lines in About are meant to represent me too: chaotic, interconnected, and hopefully still beautiful (🥀) . And yes, making all of this responsive was painful…. Excruciatingly painful. 😭💔 . What am I proud of? Mostly the fact that something I had imagined for weeks actually exists now…LIVE… . I deliberately left parts of it open to interpretation too. The boy holding the bouquet and book could be waiting for someone while reading a book to kill time, could have been given the bouquet while being told by someone “you are my light” , could be heartbroken, or could mean literally anything…. I liked not explaining everything… Things to try Move your cursor through the snow (don’t ask me why 😭, it’s fun) Watch the text glitch Click Light on the homepage and enter the Lab Explore the Lab sections Click the 02 / ABOUT on the homepage and enter the About page Notice the different page colors and text-selection colors Try the site on both desktop and mobile . Before testing . The site is best experienced on a Chromium-based browser . . Also, disable any browser dark-mode extension , otherwise it may decide my carefully chosen colors are merely suggestions. 💔 . Light’s Live here: https://alchemic-eclipse.github.io/light/ . And,,,, after way too many hours, Light is finally live. 🫠 . Not perfect. . Just mine ❤️🩹 Thank you for reading it through..!! ❤️🩹", "repo": "https://github.com/Alchemic-Eclipse/light", "demo": "https://alchemic-eclipse.github.io/light/"}]...

I couldn’t really write devlogs that often ‘cause I’ve been just TOO busy trying to make this thing look pretty 😭 . And unfortunately, having a creative perfectionist brain while also trying to keep everything minimalist is an awful combination. I kept wanting to add stuff, removing it because it was “too much”, adding it again, moving things around, staring at it for 20 min, and realizing that it looked 4% worse than before 🗿 . Anyways… . I’ve made some pretty major progress today. . The biggest one: Light is basically complete. Added all the content, finished the different sections, and finally got the whole thing to feel like an actual part of the site instead of an empty page with suspicious amounts of negative space 🥀 . I also finally added and polished the About page, w a bunch of minor design fixes along the way. . Completed: Unfinished Graveyard Now Curiosities And I also added snow interaction , which is probably one of those completely unnecessary things that somehow took way longer than it had any business to… ;-; . The funny part is, that the actual feature list doesn’t even look THAT insane. (compared to my mental health rn 💔) . But every single little design decision took FOREVER, because I wanted the site to feel minimal, without feeling empty.. Interesting, without feeling overloaded.. And slightly uncanny without just looking like I discovered CSS animations yesterday 🤷🏻♂️ . At this point, I’m lwk happy w how it’s coming together tho. . The site has WAYY more personality now. . The next goal is basically finishing whatever tiny things are still bothering me, and then SHIP EM before I lose the remaining fragments of my sanity 😭 . And nvm,, that’s it for today ;-;;; .

Here’s a list: Added Basic fade-in animation when site is loaded Added a leaning hero-figure and changed typography (Some fonts, sizes, colors, etc) Added a glitch effect for the Hero sub-text Added Snow, as it smhow fits the theme beautifully There were sm things that people suggested me to add, but I was like: Nah ;-; For eg: Arrow key navigation . But someone discovering that R jumps to Archive would be mildly amusing for approximately 4 seconds… So I scrapped that idea 🤷🏻♂️ . The snowflakes one was particularly interesting… because…. to animate the snowflakes I used: new position = old position + velocity Which is basically a tiny Euler integration step 🗿 So, my snowflakes, accidentaly became a physics simulation… 🥀 For some reason, I really cannot escape ts 💔 . And then the tiny intricacies like giving them close but random velocities for realism (yeah, close, because if not: that would look like the snowflakes had all received contradictory weather reports 😭) . and once they leave the screen, make them re-enter from the right and top (70:30 :: Top:right % of snowflakes generated), which is what turns this into a continuous wind field rather than 80 flakes having a one-way death march 🗿 .

Day-5 Light Added content to About section Added a few projects to Archive section Added basic design to Archive section. Next goal: Polish Archive’s design Add content to Contact section and design that too got big plans ahead..!!
Day-6 Light HOLYYY Productivity!! 🔥 Added SOOOOO many things today . Here’s the list: Polished the Archive section Added “About signature” and href links Added content to Contact section and footer- Polished them too Made the site responsive Added selection option (selecting a text) Soo, when selecting a text, instead of the default blue color, it’d use another color that respects the color scheme of the site… . With that, Phase-1 of the Site is over… We have a site that’s essentially complete in itself start to end.And so, Phase-2 of Light has started, which is mostly all about JavaScript and additional sections/features. (Lwk Exciting as hell) . Also, I decided to add “AUTONOMY · TRANSCENDENCE · ERUDITION” as the “About Signature”, because these are the 3 things that I value THE MOST… Especially Autonomy…………. Is it a bit grandiose ? Yeah… but my site’s called Light (Alchemic Eclipse) , so we’re not exactly filing taxes here 🤷🏻♂️🥀 . But anyways,, that’s it for todayy!! Have a beautiful morning 🍀
Day-7 Light It appears as if somoene’s genuinely addicted to this project 🗿 . Because my productivity is PEAK right now 🕯️ . I’ve lwk changed the entire base design of Light, simply because I felt like it 😭 (I wanted it to look better) . Here’s a list: Added Basic fade-in animation when site is loaded Added a leaning hero-figure and changed typography (Some fonts, sizes, colors, etc) Added a glitch effect for the Hero sub-text Added Snow, as it smhow fits the theme beautifully There were sm things that people suggested me to add, but I was like: Nah ;-; For eg: Arrow key navigation . But someone discovering that R jumps to Archive would be mildly amusing for approximately 4 seconds… So I scrapped that idea 🤷🏻♂️ . The snowflakes one was particularly interesting… because…. to animate the snowflakes I used: new position = old position + velocity Which is basically a tiny Euler integration step 🗿 So, my snowflakes, accidentaly became a physics simulation… 🥀 For some reason, I really cannot escape ts 💔 . And then the tiny intricacies like giving them close but random velocities for realism (yeah, close, because if not: that would look like the snowflakes had all received contradictory weather reports 😭) . and once they leave the screen, make them re-enter from the right and top (70:30 :: Top:right % of snowflakes generated), which is what turns this into a continuous wind field rather than 80 flakes having a one-way death march 🗿 . And yeah, that’s basically it, for today…!! and as usual,, Ohayoo!!! (Good Morningg, not Ohio 😭💔)
Day-8 Light At this point, I think Im lwk about to crash out because of how long this is taking me 😭💔 (plus a bad headache) . I’ve added a new page to my site, called Light’s Lab, something way more interesting than the home page fs. . Also Added a cool glitchy effect as a transition, to give it that uncanny feel… And DAMN it took me soo longg to learn how to do ts 😭😭 . After this, I’m done with adding animations/transitions 🥀 Aghh my head hurts so badd 😭 . I think the next goal for me is to design the Lab page properly… then think of adding something new… . Initially I planned to complete it by Sept 30… but let’s see if I can 🫠 . Anyways, that’s it for todayyy Dobroye utroo!!!
Day-9 Light I think I’ve officially reached the stage where this project is consuming me 😭💔 . I couldn’t really write devlogs that often ‘cause I’ve been just TOO busy trying to make this thing look pretty 😭 . And unfortunately, having a creative perfectionist brain while also trying to keep everything minimalist is an awful combination. I kept wanting to add stuff, removing it because it was “too much”, adding it again, moving things around, staring at it for 20 min, and realizing that it looked 4% worse than before 🗿 . Anyways… . I’ve made some pretty major progress today. . The biggest one: Light is basically complete. Added all the content, finished the different sections, and finally got the whole thing to feel like an actual part of the site instead of an empty page with suspicious amounts of negative space 🥀 . I also finally added and polished the About page, w a bunch of minor design fixes along the way. . Completed: Unfinished Graveyard Now Curiosities And I also added snow interaction , which is probably one of those completely unnecessary things that somehow took way longer than it had any business to… ;-; . The funny part is, that the actual feature list doesn’t even look THAT insane. (compared to my mental health rn 💔) . But every single little design decision took FOREVER, because I wanted the site to feel minimal, without feeling empty.. Interesting, without feeling overloaded.. And slightly uncanny without just looking like I discovered CSS animations yesterday 🤷🏻♂️ . At this point, I’m lwk happy w how it’s coming together tho. . The site has WAYY more personality now. . The next goal is basically finishing whatever tiny things are still bothering me, and then SHIP EM before I lose the remaining fragments of my sanity 😭 . And nvm,, that’s it for today ;-;;; . Ig this could be the last devlog? Or nvm, I still have to write the Readme, GG, that should be the last one lol.. Whatever,,,, Good Evening 🦋
Final Devlog of Light yep, as the title suggests, this is it. I have somehow, despite being an INTP, been able to complete the project before the deadline ( or perhaps I should say, exactly at the deadline 😭) . But anyways, Completed the Readme Fixed minor issues (console errors) Fixed responsiveness issues Added a favicon And yeah, that’s all ig…?? It has been an honor tbh, I’ve learnt soooo many things while making this site… and revised soooo many concepts…. I was lwk a beginner in web-dev before this, and now, well a bit better I suppose? 😭 . Either way,,, It was fun…. :) Thank you for everything..!!! ❤️🩹 . P.S. Idk what to add as screenshot for this one, so just added the About page of my site 🗿🤷🏻♂️
Welcome back And here I am, just after writing Aporia’s devlog, writing this for Light (the site, not me obv 🗿) . But I’ll keep it short, While I was on break, I kept updating information here n there on the site and made some minor changes. . From now on, I’ll be working properly on the site, making it better every day..!! . And that’s all for today lol…!! See ya tomorrow! . P.S. Idk what to add in attachment, so why not a meme again? (it isn’t even related to web dev, but I found it so funny, had to add it 💔)
Ships:
Shipvlog — Light 🌙 What did you make? Everyone makes a personal website showing what they’ve built, accomplished, or are currently working on. . I wanted to make something that asks a slightly “different” question: “What is happening inside this mind?” . That’s basically what Light is. . Alongside the usual portfolio stuff, there’s a Lab containing unfinished ideas, abandoned projects, current obsessions, and questions I’m still thinking about… Basically,, everything a normal portfolio politely hides…🗿 . What was challenging? Lwk Everything. 😭 . I spent an absolutely unreasonable amount of time designing tiny details, animations, typography, spacing, colors, transitions, and things that probably took five seconds to notice and five hours to make…. . I wanted the homepage title to feel more like Light was being written into existence ,,, the glitch transition into the Lab to feel intentional, and every page to have its own atmosphere… (did I ever mention the fact that Light was my nickname all along?) . The three main pages use red, blue, and warm white. Because, almost everything we see can be represented through RGB,, so I treated them as three different sides of me that mix together into Idhant (w a little twist lol) Underneath them all, it’s still the same guy. Hence the same nav too :) . The geometric lines in About are meant to represent me too: chaotic, interconnected, and hopefully still beautiful (🥀) . And yes, making all of this responsive was painful…. Excruciatingly painful. 😭💔 . What am I proud of? Mostly the fact that something I had imagined for weeks actually exists now…LIVE… . I deliberately left parts of it open to interpretation too. The boy holding the bouquet and book could be waiting for someone while reading a book to kill time, could have been given the bouquet while being told by someone “you are my light” , could be heartbroken, or could mean literally anything…. I liked not explaining everything… Things to try Move your cursor through the snow (don’t ask me why 😭, it’s fun) Watch the text glitch Click Light on the homepage and enter the Lab Explore the Lab sections Click the 02 / ABOUT on the homepage and enter the About page Notice the different page colors and text-selection colors Try the site on both desktop and mobile . Before testing . The site is best experienced on a Chromium-based browser . . Also, disable any browser dark-mode extension , otherwise it may decide my carefully chosen colors are merely suggestions. 💔 . Light’s Live here: https://alchemic-eclipse.github.io/light/ . And,,,, after way too many hours, Light is finally live. 🫠 . Not perfect. . Just mine ❤️🩹 Thank you for reading it through..!! ❤️🩹...

Worked on the frontend, now the actual algorithms.
Pendulum coming soon!!
did make the system.py and partial deriv.py of mechmaths. I’m sleepy, gotta sleep
deriv.py done.
Well, the engine.py and the init .py was lwk easier than the deriv.py.
An overall document of how mechmaths work. https://github.com/imtua/mechanics/blob/main/mechmaths/README.md
this is lowkey a big win. now, single pendulum works only. I bought a domain for mechanics and that’s mechanics.help mechanics.help - homepage mechanics.help/pend - single pendulum mechanics.help/mechmaths - how mechmath lib works
adding double pendulum and some more metrics was easy.
Added swinging atwood machine and a button under the UI that says learn how mechmaths work that takes you to mechanics.help/mechmaths.
Added cart and pendulum and disk on slope, they’re working fine as they should have.
well, the rolling disk pendulum mechanism was the hardest part and absolutely nailed it.
done on the mechanisms description
Done on the readme files. Done on everything.
My first version advanced the solver once per frame with dt = 1/60. For stiff or fast systems, that step was too coarse and the energy drifted or blew up. So, I split each frame into 20 substeps of dt / steps (about 1/1200 s each). Each simulation can override the count with custom_steps, so lightweight systems stay cheap and touchy ones get more precision. Here we go, our new simulation_runner.py.
well, we added elastic pendulum. next up coming is bead on rotating hoop.
Worked on the mechsimulator.js file. and now you can: i. set peremeters for the simulation e.g. weight of the disk, gravity value etc. ii. go back to home with the top button iii. get the updated phone version iv. blue or green highlights.

I wanted to make something that felt like a little world of its own while being very easy to use. I started with a basic webOS for Ship #1 where I built the main foundation. It had draggable and resizable windows, a taskbar and very few apps. From there for Ship #2 I completely transformed it adding many interactive features, music and plenty of easter eggs and fun apps. The Apps include Notes, Gallery, Timer, Map of Middle-earth, Palantir (weather app but as a crystal ball!), Calendar, Doodle, Library (with book excerpts related to lotr) and Settings. Main Features Light mode and Dark mode- Both are very different and the music and many elements completely changes between light and dark. Imo the dark mode is the most fun part of the project. The Fun parts- There are many things flying across the screen once you open the OS. Also there many clickable things I’ve added to make it fun and interactive to those who visit (like flowers, butterflies and some themed things). Clicking the arkenstone (the glowy rock) at the top opens the journey window and tracks all the apps and easter eggs u opened (wanted to add smth to let the user know whether they’ve found all the features). What was challenging? I started learning HTML and CSS through the personal site mission and I feel like I’ve improved a lot. In the beginning I found it hard to get a hang of it (the functionality and the design part, for eg light/ dark mode) and I believe Ive come a long way! Yes I encountered lot of problems in between but it was a learning experience. What am I proud of? Im very proud of all the interactive features I thought of and built on my own (especially dark mode). They arent necessary for the OS to function but they made a huge difference and I enjoyed building them tooo. For more details, please read the readme. I believe I’ve covered everything there is to cover but I’ll take feedback to improve the project and make it as user friendly as possible.

baby steps started work on lotr-os (the name needs work). I finished the personal site mission and now i have more experience with HTML and CSS (ESPECIALLY CSS). I hope it turns out good!
today i worked getting the windows to open. I could not work for a long time today. I was simply able to add windows and a bit of text. Tomorrow I will work on including the dragging and the design aspect.
More work done. The windows are now draggable and can be opened and closed. I added a simple note taker (with add, delete, clear and view functions). I started working on a timer app today. (but there’s some error (it better not be a missing bracket/letter in a variable cuz those are so hard to find 🙏)). More work tomorroww.
Now the os has 3 simple apps: Notes, Timer and Gallery. Current time is displayed on the bottom right. The windows are draggable and resizable.
Added hover effects to the app icons. Started working on making the palantir a weather forecast app. I went through the article about it on geeksforgeeks first (because i was kinda clueless) and i learnt that it’s not super difficult. I started work on it and it’s actually going good. more tomorrow!
Worked on improving the weather app today (i learned how to connect one to a site firstt). Then i worked on adding a settings app that can allow the user to choose wallpapers and light/dark mode. it looks pretty okay now but i definitely need to improve the ui BY FAR. tomorrow!
Add little glowy effects and little animations to the windows and the app icons. I also added light mode and dark mode to the os. Also, it may say I spent 2 hours coding but besides that I have spent another two working on the design aspect in canva (i wanted to add easter eggs like i did in my personal site mission). I still feel the UI just isnt…it. ig itll take a bit more trial and error to get it there. :))
mainly worked on improving the css and ui today. also spent an hour or two on design a few elements in canva.
today i worked on fixing up the weather app and modifying most of the error handling code. I also debugged a lot of the window opening and closing issues.
I added a calendar app today! only worked on the html and js. need to finish the css as well to match the overall theme. its also still kinda buggy.
Got more work done today than the past few days. I added two apps! a doodle app and a a library app (just lotr excerpts for now). The pdf viewer seriously did not want to open. It really took some time to get that working. also the window resizing isnt really that great there are a lot of problems. More tomorrow!
was putting out fires all over the place today. Some windows kept opening INSIDE other windows! turns out it was because of a single missing closing div tag🙇♀️it took me soooo long, Besides all that i fixed up the library app and added a new map app. I improved some of the other apps as well.
i added an interactive sparkly cursor today. Also added features within 2 apps : user can add their own events to the calendar, a clear all feature in the doodle app. i was also on the hunt for excerpts to add to the library app.
i worked on adding widgets today. was really difficult cuz i had no experience with that level. I wanted to reuse functions from the weather app for the weather widget. I tried but i couldnt :(. I wrote a whole new function for the widget itself. for now, i added some basic widgets such as calendar, weather and clock (they arent draggable yet tho, also im not feeling the clock design, prolly will change it later). Will definitely add more creative ones along the way :)
hellooooo. i added an intro video today. (idk why i didnt think to add one until now, i only remembered when i went through all the amazing projects uploaded to this mission). Besides the 2 hrs logged, i spent designing the leftover logos (i didnt find the emojis to fit the style). The coding mostly involved me trying to get the widgets to cooperate.

I’m getting closer to shipping.

Last devlog before I ship! I added yet another easter egg (i couldnt help myself 😅) They change depending on what mode you’re in (light/dark). Besides that, I fixed a couple of errors that i was saving for the end. I wanted the OS to be as smooth as possible (enjoyable as well but that comes second). Biggest change of all: I changed the name from Middle-earth OS to Wanderlust OS because I felt it fit my project better. I’m ready to ship!
Ships:
Middle-earth OS is a browser based operating system inspired by the world of the Lord of the Rings. I built it with HTML, CSS and JS (I became pretty confident with these 3 after completing the personal site mission) Ship #1 focused on fulfilling the basic requirements. It has draggable and resizable windows, a taskbar, time display at the bottom. Also has 3 simple apps: Notes, Timer and Gallery. So far, it’s super basic. I’m developing this in multiple ships adding smth new each time. You can already see I have two other apps in the working(Map and Palantir). I will definitely make it more polished visually and technically. (Ship #2 will have more lotr themed apps and more unique features (ive already thought of a few amazing ones)). The goal is to turn this simple OS into a full immersive one.
Wanderlust OS is my fantasy world themed WebOS project inspired by the Lord of the Rings universe (people who haven’t heard of the lord of the rings can use it too!). I wanted to make something that felt like a little world of its own while being very easy to use. I started with a basic webOS for Ship #1 where I built the main foundation. It had draggable and resizable windows, a taskbar and very few apps. From there for Ship #2 I completely transformed it adding many interactive features, music and plenty of easter eggs and fun apps. The Apps include Notes, Gallery, Timer, Map of Middle-earth, Palantir (weather app but as a crystal ball!), Calendar, Doodle, Library (with book excerpts related to lotr) and Settings. Main Features Light mode and Dark mode- Both are very different and the music and many elements completely changes between light and dark. Imo the dark mode is the most fun part of the project. The Fun parts- There are many things flying across the screen once you open the OS. Also there many clickable things I’ve added to make it fun and interactive to those who visit (like flowers, butterflies and some themed things). Clicking the arkenstone (the glowy rock) at the top opens the journey window and tracks all the apps and easter eggs u opened (wanted to add smth to let the user know whether they’ve found all the features). What was challenging? I started learning HTML and CSS through the personal site mission and I feel like I’ve improved a lot. In the beginning I found it hard to get a hang of it (the functionality and the design part, for eg light/ dark mode) and I believe Ive come a long way! Yes I encountered lot of problems in between but it was a learning experience. What am I proud of? Im very proud of all the interactive features I thought of and built on my own (especially dark mode). They arent necessary for the OS to function but they made a huge difference and I enjoyed building them tooo. For more details, please read the readme. I believe I’ve covered everything there is to cover but I’ll take feedback to improve the project and make it as user friendly as possible. Make sure to click around the desktop and see what you find! And to everyone who read till here…thank you! ^ o^/...

I built a parsing framework that reads input line by line (buffer block by buffer block) and extracts information from each line. Even though there is no singular parse() function almost every function that utilizes the parsing framework is very similar (even though slight modifications had to be done because almost no two files are structured the same way) How is it built? It’s built in C using ncurses, split across 12 source files, each handling one general task. There is a pre-compiled build that was built with GitHub workflows. The binary can be directly downloaded from the repo’s release page and can be used on (most) glibc-based Linux distros (build is compiled for Ubuntu and ncurses has to be installed on your system). What I learned I think the thing I learned the most is how to properly parse files and how to extract information from them. I have never done anything like that before (it’s my second real project ever) and it was really interesting to learn. I also learned how to handle with virtual files from the /proc/ directory (e.g. /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo etc.) which was rather hard because they don’t exist on your drive. Known limitations / plans for the future The project should only work on glibc Linux distros (as mentioned). There are no known bugs currently and according to Valgrind the program is memory-safe. Bugs can still occur and not every system (e.g. dual-socket systems) will work correctly. The project should still work on most systems it’s tested on Closing word This project was a lot of fun and genuinely interesting for me.

LOG 1: MYFETCH, MY OWN CUSTOM FETCHING PROGRAM IDEA I dont know why but fastfetch is pretty slow on my pc and i dont like htop/btop so my idea (currently) is to build a mix of a fetching program and a task manager like htop/btop CURRENT FEATURES Currently the program displays state of memory/swap even though the dynamic ram stats are a little off right now which i will fix in the next devlogs. Currently the ram info is read from /proc/meminfo using unformatted read/write functions for speed/efficiency
LOG 2: CPUINFO (unfinished), LIVE VALUES CPUINFO I am currently working on displaying the CPU info but the display is faulty and i havent found the issue yet, but i felt posting a log after 6 hours was necessary. The parsing of /proc/cpuinfo has turned out to be way harder than /proc/meminfo yet its (almost) working. LIVE VALUES I made the values refresh after 2 seconds to get an accurate read of the current usage. This is done by looping the meminfo function and most importantly regenerating it by using lseek to reset the index which regenerates the file.
LOG 3: DISTRO FETCH, ASCII LOGOS, CPU FETCH FIX FEATURES DISTRO FETCH The program now detects what distro your using right now and gives the name and the current version back (/etc/os-releases , PRETTY_NAME). The implementation is similar to the CPU fetch but some of the parsing had to be changed ASCII LOGOS In addition to the name and the version of your distro the program also displays a ASCII picture of the distro.

Issue currently is finding appropriate ASCII’s, if you know websites/apps to find ASCII’s of distros please write a comment because the ASCII’s are hard to find BUG FIXES CPU FETCH BUGFIX The bug described in the last log was mainly caused by the function that is responsible to create the array of the dynamic value (ae your CPU name), was called on every iteration of the loop. The fix was to move that function(s) to the conditional at the end of every line.
LOG 4: DISK FETCH, HOST/USERNAME FETCH, KERNEL FETCH, MEMINFO REWORK FEATURES DISK FETCH The program now displays your current disk usage and your max disk space. This is done by using the sys/statvfs library and getting f_blocks (total size of your drive in blocks) and f_bfree (free space in blocks) and formatting it into GiB. HOST/USERNAME FETCH At the top the program now displays the current user and the hostname of your device. The hostname is read from /etc/hostname and the username accessed by using the pwd library and setting a variable to your pwuid in which your username is stored. KERNEL FETCH This now displays your current linux kernel version which is read from /proc/version and then parsed and output as most of the rest of the infos of the program FIXES/REWORKS Previously the program spat out somewhat false/misleading stats (partially because of me naming the stats a bit inaccurately). This was as said partially because of me naming it a bit inaccurately but more importantly because the logic was a bit weird. The code of the part responsible for meminfo was different to the concept of the rest of the code and was way harder to read (for me at least) and because of that i made the code conform to the design trend of the other files and now meminfo works great THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE I still need to get better asciis that have some kind of similar size (the nixos logo is way smaller than the rest, check out the other pictures for reference) and i also need more asciis in general. Overall i think im pretty close to shipping actually
LOG 5: LOCALE FETCH, NEW ASCISS, BUG FIXES FEATURES LOCALE FETCH The fetching program now reads your main locale from /etc/locale.conf (the LANG= locale) and prints it out. NEW ASCIIS I added asciis for Ubuntu, Gentoo and a special ascii for distros that currently arent supported. I drew the Ubuntu ascii myself and got the tux and gentoo logo from the fastfetch repo. BUG FIXES LOGIC ERRORS/TYPOS There were a few logic errors that resulted from mainly typos/unaware coding. As an example i used strlength as an index for a buffer instead of the designated buffer index variable which resulted in unexpected behavior. MISC CHANGES CLEAR CALL IN MAIN LOOP Previously the loop didnt erase during iterations which COULD cause issues in the future. Because of that i added a clear call to the top of the loop. Because of that an issue appeared with cpu fetch (the output was flickering). The fix was to reset the fd during every iteration of the major loop in the function.
LOG 6: LAST LOG BEFORE SHIP, LAST LOG FOR STARDANCE SADLY. UPTIME, IP AND SHELL FETCH FEATURES UPTIME FETCH Reads /proc/uptime and parses it. Because the output is in second it gets parsed to seconds IP FETCH Uses iffaddrs and looks in the linked list of the function for the first non loopback ip address (IPv4) SHELL FETCH I usesd getenv(“SHELL”) to get the path of the shell, which i afterwards parsed using strrchr to find the exact name of the shell. MISC Added a license (MIT and a notice to Fastfetch as some ASCII’s are from the Fastfetch repo), added a README and a workflow.yml (for automated builds). NOTE Sadly the last devlog isn’t that long (maybe thats a good thing tho idk).
Ships:
A fetching program displaying live information written in C! What is in it? A live system-info fetch tool, written in C What am I proud of? I’m mostly proud of the general parsing framework I’ve built. I built a parsing framework that reads input line by line (buffer block by buffer block) and extracts information from each line. Even though there is no singular parse() function almost every function that utilizes the parsing framework is very similar (even though slight modifications had to be done because almost no two files are structured the same way) How is it built? It’s built in C using ncurses, split across 12 source files, each handling one general task. There is a pre-compiled build that was built with GitHub workflows. The binary can be directly downloaded from the repo’s release page and can be used on (most) glibc-based Linux distros (build is compiled for Ubuntu and ncurses has to be installed on your system). What I learned I think the thing I learned the most is how to properly parse files and how to extract information from them. I have never done anything like that before (it’s my second real project ever) and it was really interesting to learn. I also learned how to handle with virtual files from the /proc/ directory (e.g. /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo etc.) which was rather hard because they don’t exist on your drive. Known limitations / plans for the future The project should only work on glibc Linux distros (as mentioned). There are no known bugs currently and according to Valgrind the program is memory-safe. Bugs can still occur and not every system (e.g. dual-socket systems) will work correctly. The project should still work on most systems it’s tested on Closing word This project was a lot of fun and genuinely interesting for me. It was the first practical step toward the kind of work I want to do with coding. It was really interesting to see parts of my OS I hadn’t touched before, and it was a great learning experience....

Complex CSH Tracker My school runs on a very old tracking system for CSH (Community Service Hours) meaning it was hard for us students to see how much we have as well as see what happens to our CSH requests. I made this to solve this problem and decided to join stardance for the fun of it :O Please beware of the bugs Tester passwords are in the readme Unfortunely drive picker functionality doesn’t work cuz i didnt verify my google app :(...
