For example commands/shim/remove/cmd.go contains code for the mocha shim remove command. Each cmd.go contains a Command struct that has the relevant fields and functions attached to it. This structure just makes things more organized and also means adding test files will be a bit easier since functionality is now isolated. I also sorted out the shim binary. So essentially https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Shim offers different version of the shim binary which can be installed.

I’ll probably end up spending another 20 hours just on refactoring because it’s so fun!!!! This time around I wanted to refactor the code so that our commands orchestrate stuff instead of the helper functions.

This causes issues because it means error messages become slightly worse, and it creates a class of bugs due to edge cases where we don’t necessarily want this order of orchestration. Hence I did a lot of refactoring in the pkg module. I also ended up adding a way to skip verification of downloads when downloading, installing or updating a package through --skip-verify .

First thing I did was swap to fatih/color for colored output, since it handles stuff like colors in command prompt and removing color when output is piped. Then I refactored the config module. Earlier I would pass around a MochaConfiguration object through every function. Now I use a config singleton that’s accessible from any function. Why? Because it means I don’t need to pass the object every time I want to log information. Also means I don’t need to pass mochaDir through almost every function in the codebase. Getting user defined themes was a bit complicated because I needed a good way to handle a default theme so output doesn’t look bad if parsing fails. I handled this by only using the configured theme if every color resolves properly. Otherwise output falls back to the already loaded default theme. Due to this you still get colored output even if there are errors or warning before the configuration and theme is loaded."}, {"post_id": 29066, "ts": "2026-07-15T18:30:47Z", "hours": 4.7214, "text": "So I’ve been doing a bit of refactoring, a bit of bug fixing and a bit of optimization.

Essentially mocha would uninstall apps with incorrect info. It would also try to remove shims/shortcuts for apps which don’t have any active shims/shortcuts.

New feature! We now handle persist items in order to store data between versions. These are files which are persisted between versions of an app. Lets take git as an example to explain why persist exists. Say you want to make sure your git config isn’t deleted every time you update. The issue with this is that the config file is saved in the version specfic directory. To resolve this we can keep the config in $MOCHA_DIR/persist and then symlink the config to where it needs to be, which is essentially what persist tells us to do. Since we handled persist items last time we can now implement mocha upgrade to update apps. The way scoop handles updates is by first removing anything that references the app, like shortcuts or shims . Then we just follow the install process from scratch. This leaves the old version available in case a user wants to revert versions due to a bug, while also updating to the latest available version. This can be seen in the video below, which shows me updating llama.cpp-hip-radeon ."}, {"post_id": 23572, "ts": "2026-07-06T16:39:13Z", "hours": 3.53, "text": "We now create shortcuts!

All I really had to do was a bit of orchestration since I decided to vendor in an implementation from https://github.com/jxeng/shortcut Besides that I expanded the number of apps that are supported by implementing a bit of code that handle architecture specific bin fields, along with bin fields which store 2D arrays. I also cleared up some of the TODO items. I swapped the junction implementation to an implementation from https://github.com/nyaosorg/go-windows-junction since we were previously shelling out to CLI.

So I was working on help messages for all the commands when I realized that mocha bucket list felt a bit slower than pretty much every other command. This is because we need to shell out to git 2 times per bucket, and I had 4 buckets added. While 8 git commands might not sound like a lot, it was enough to make mocha bucket list feel slow. So what I did is I parallelized the metadata fetching through an errgroup . Instead of fetching the metadata for each bucket in order, we fetch the metadata for all 4 buckets simultaneously. This led to a big performance uplift. About 3 times faster than the old version of mocha , and just over 12 times faster than scoop for this operation.

This means in theory any apps which don’t need a pre-install or post-install should work. To be more specific, I handle a few more properties on manifests. Those being extract_dir and innosetup , which inform how an app needs to be installed. I also implement 7zip and innounp as extractors to support more file formats which applications are distributed in. Of course there’s still a lot of work before I consider this ready for public use. I need to create commands for some basic operations like uninstalling, updating and listing apps. I also need to handle shortcuts otherwise GUI apps can’t be accessed from the start menu.

I did use AI to assist with code review because I think it’s an area where AI shines. AI is really good at finding small errors or inconsistencies in the codebase which I probably wouldn’t notice. For example, it identified that the ManifestReferences argument was not a required argument for the download command, which meant no help message was displayed on incorrect usage like the other commands. One big thing I will work on eventually is console output. Right now errors are well formatted but a lot of the time commands just run stuff without providing a lot of insight into what actions they are taking which isn’t great.

A good example of this is moving the code to get the active config to the config module instead of leaving it in main.go . Next up will be refactoring the commands , fileops , and manifest modules. I don’t have much to show so I figured I would present a feature I added but didn’t show earlier: the ability to skip cache hits with the --force flag when installing or downloading an app. Some context I forgot to add initially: I renamed the app module to manifest since I felt it was more accurate to what it actually handles scope wise."}, {"post_id": 15814, "ts": "2026-06-25T18:17:50Z", "hours": 2.5558, "text": "Huge milestone!!!

I also did a bit of refactoring where I thought it would be worth it.

The complicated part was the PE Subsystem. The PE subsystem is basically a bit of info in each binary which tells Windows whether it’s a console application, or a GUI application. We need to set the PE subsystem of the shim exe to the PE subsystem of the binary we are calling for Windows to execute the binary properly. Hence I need to read and write raw binary data. All of this is just the implementation for exe shims.

Scoop also checks for binary name matches, e.g. package biodiff can provide a binary called git-biodiff and show up in search results. I decided to remove this for now, since I personally find it a bit unnecessary. scoop search also lists all search results, which is okay when results are sorted alphabetically but doesn’t make sense when searches are relevance based.

I started off with something a bit simple: mocha bucket known The known bucket list in scoop is a list of buckets which are known by the package manager in advance. These buckets don’t require the full URL to be used when using scoop bucket sub-commands. For example instead of running scoop bucket add https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main you can instead run scoop bucket add main As seen in the video below, mocha bucket known doesn’t do much. First it downloads buckets.json if it doesn’t exist. Then it parses the json and outputs it to console.
I finished off the remaining mocha bucket subcommands, those being add , rm and list . These commands manage “buckets” which are pretty much just package sources. mocha bucket add uses git to clone the relevant bucket into the [MOCHA_DIR]/buckets directory. By default MOCHA_DIR is [USER]/mocha mocha bucket list simply loops over the [MOCHA_DIR]/buckets directory and gets relevant info for each bucket. mocha bucket rm removes a bucket by just deleting the folder containing the bucket. For example, removing the main bucket deletes [MOCHA_DIR]/buckets/main
So this is a spot where I think the improvements over scoop start becoming really apparent. The scoop cat command simply prints an app’s manifest to console. However due to the long startup time of PowerShell scripts (scoop is written in PowerShell) basic stuff like scoop cat takes a second. mocha cat on the other hand is nearly instantaneous since it’s a compiled binary with almost 0 startup time. You can see how this plays out in real usage in the video below. I also half baked a config system, but it’s not finished so I’ll talk about that in the next devlog.
I did a bit of refactoring to split the core functionality from the command files. This means that the code for downloading and deleting buckets is separated from the code for the various commands. I’m doing this primarily for better code organization, and also to prevent import cycles. I also finished up the config system I mentioned last time.

Currently the configuration can be used to make mocha cat run an external program for printing manifests to stdout . See the video below for an example using bat
I was working on the mocha download command so I can sort out fetching files, and during it I realized my current app format makes things a bit weird. mocha cat previously took in a flag for bucket through -b and a name. Scoop on the other hand uses an application reference in the format bucket/name@version . Scoop’s format is really important for downloads and installs, so it didn’t make sense to not standardize it between mocha download and mocha cat . Hence this shorter devlog! See the video below for the new usage (version numbers are ignored for mocha cat ).
I finished up mocha download , which surprisingly does a bit more than simply downloading files. The first thing it does is well… download the file. This is a bit more complicated than it seems though, since we need to identify the right file to download based on cpu architecture. Hence the very cursed JSON parsing I had to create.

Scoop also checks for binary name matches, e.g. package biodiff can provide a binary called git-biodiff and show up in search results. I decided to remove this for now, since I personally find it a bit unnecessary. scoop search also lists all search results, which is okay when results are sorted alphabetically but doesn’t make sense when searches are relevance based. Therefore, by default mocha search will list exact matches plus the 20 most relevant search results. This can be overridden by the --count argument, where setting it to 0 displays all results. A demonstration of mocha search vs scoop search can be seen in the video below.
mocha cache is a simple command. It shows you what files are currently in $MOCHA_DIR/cache directory and it clears them out. One thing I noticed was that scoop cache show actually displays raw bytes instead of human readable file sizes for each cache entry, which is a bit odd since the total they display is human readable. Therefore I made my implementation mocha cache list display human readable sizes since that’s a more reasonable default.
Shims are simple in concept, complicated in reality. So essentially a shim in mocha is just an executable which calls another executable. It’s similar to a shortcut in that sense, except it shows up in $PATH Thankfully the scoop project already has a repository with 4 different implementations for the shim binary, so I can just have mocha shim download one of those binaries. The complicated part was the PE Subsystem. The PE subsystem is basically a bit of info in each binary which tells Windows whether it’s a console application, or a GUI application. We need to set the PE subsystem of the shim exe to the PE subsystem of the binary we are calling for Windows to execute the binary properly. Hence I need to read and write raw binary data. All of this is just the implementation for exe shims. Scoop itself contains implementations for .bat/.cmd , .ps1 , .jar , .py and linux binaries , all of which have wildly different implementations compared to .exe shims. The video below shows the working set of mocha shim commands (those being add , remove and list ).
Spent a bit longer between devlogs this time, but it was worth it. So I realized the error messages were really bad. I was pretty much just passing errors up the call stack without adding any context, which isn’t great since it means our error messages will be useless to people reading them I therefore went through every single file of the codebase and wrote good error messages which add a bit of context every time we pass it up the call stack. I also did a bit of refactoring where I thought it would be worth it. For example in the shim module I now set the PE subsystem of the shim binary while it’s in memory instead of writing to disk twice. A few good examples of what the new error messages look like can be seen in the video below.
mocha update is another command which does very little but is very important. All it does is update the known_buckets file, and run git pull on all added buckets to update them. It can also update just the buckets you specify if you pass in an argument. I do need to improve the output of the command since it outputs raw git right now, but at least it’s functional. See the demo below.
Huge milestone!!! I’ve gotten mocha install working for very basic apps! This means the entire process of downloading a file, then extracting it, then creating a junction and finally creating a shim now works for basic pieces of software! So in terms of what I actually did this devlog, I added cache hits to the download command since it’s relevant to the install command. I then implemented the aforementioned .zip extraction and junction creation. Then all that was left was a bit of orchestration, getting everything to work together properly. See a working install of innounp using mocha install below!
Before working on more features and expanding the amount of apps mocha actually supports I wanted to go through the codebase and do a lot of cleanup since the codebase is quite messy. There are silly mistakes in some files and bad implementations in others. Hence the time I spent during this period was focused on moving code to where it should be and cleaning up some edge cases, specifically related to the bucket , config and shim modules. A good example of this is moving the code to get the active config to the config module instead of leaving it in main.go . Next up will be refactoring the commands , fileops , and manifest modules. I don’t have much to show so I figured I would present a feature I added but didn’t show earlier: the ability to skip cache hits with the --force flag when installing or downloading an app. Some context I forgot to add initially: I renamed the app module to manifest since I felt it was more accurate to what it actually handles scope wise.
Finished up the code cleanup in commands , fileops and manifests . I did catch a few edge cases and some incorrect behavior in the process, which is why I always spend so much time reviewing code. I did use AI to assist with code review because I think it’s an area where AI shines. AI is really good at finding small errors or inconsistencies in the codebase which I probably wouldn’t notice. For example, it identified that the ManifestReferences argument was not a required argument for the download command, which meant no help message was displayed on incorrect usage like the other commands. One big thing I will work on eventually is console output. Right now errors are well formatted but a lot of the time commands just run stuff without providing a lot of insight into what actions they are taking which isn’t great. Even the help menu is pretty useless right now (see the image below). Extra context: A manifest reference is a pointer to an app (e.g. main/ [email protected] )
So I added support for more apps by implementing more extractors. This means in theory any apps which don’t need a pre-install or post-install should work. To be more specific, I handle a few more properties on manifests. Those being extract_dir and innosetup , which inform how an app needs to be installed. I also implement 7zip and innounp as extractors to support more file formats which applications are distributed in. Of course there’s still a lot of work before I consider this ready for public use. I need to create commands for some basic operations like uninstalling, updating and listing apps. I also need to handle shortcuts otherwise GUI apps can’t be accessed from the start menu. Besides that I need to improve the user experience. As you can see in the video below mocha just sort of dumps everything to the console even if it’s not relevant. Help menus are also critical to get working properly.
I finished up mocha uninstall and mocha list , which means you can actually manage installed apps instead of manually deleting them. There’s not much that goes into mocha uninstall . You just need to remove the relevant shims and app directories since the apps that mocha supports are all portable. mocha list is similarly simple. It’s just loops over the directories in $MOCHA_DIR/apps and looks for apps along with the versions installed for each app.
Typically I don’t want to make devlogs for small stuff like this, but this is something I found really cool. So I was working on help messages for all the commands when I realized that mocha bucket list felt a bit slower than pretty much every other command. This is because we need to shell out to git 2 times per bucket, and I had 4 buckets added. While 8 git commands might not sound like a lot, it was enough to make mocha bucket list feel slow. So what I did is I parallelized the metadata fetching through an errgroup . Instead of fetching the metadata for each bucket in order, we fetch the metadata for all 4 buckets simultaneously. This led to a big performance uplift. About 3 times faster than the old version of mocha , and just over 12 times faster than scoop for this operation. See the video below.
As I mentioned in the previous devlog I added good help information to every bit of the CLI. It’s surprisingly difficult to write good help messages which explains everything to users in a few words I also changed the behaviour of the mocha cache clear command to not clear all cache by default. That’s now gated behind the --all flag in order to match scoop a bit more
We now create shortcuts! This means any GUI apps should show up properly in the start menu, just like they do when you install with scoop . All I really had to do was a bit of orchestration since I decided to vendor in an implementation from https://github.com/jxeng/shortcut Besides that I expanded the number of apps that are supported by implementing a bit of code that handle architecture specific bin fields, along with bin fields which store 2D arrays. I also cleared up some of the TODO items. I swapped the junction implementation to an implementation from https://github.com/nyaosorg/go-windows-junction since we were previously shelling out to CLI. That and I added a bit more zip bomb protection For the purposes of the video below I changed the location which shortcuts get put to my desktop. It’ll probably be configurable, and match scoop by putting shortcuts in the startup menu by default
This is going to be the equivalent of 2 devlogs since I thought I made one earlier for persists but I didn’t. New feature! We now handle persist items in order to store data between versions. These are files which are persisted between versions of an app. Lets take git as an example to explain why persist exists. Say you want to make sure your git config isn’t deleted every time you update. The issue with this is that the config file is saved in the version specfic directory. To resolve this we can keep the config in $MOCHA_DIR/persist and then symlink the config to where it needs to be, which is essentially what persist tells us to do. Since we handled persist items last time we can now implement mocha upgrade to update apps. The way scoop handles updates is by first removing anything that references the app, like shortcuts or shims . Then we just follow the install process from scratch. This leaves the old version available in case a user wants to revert versions due to a bug, while also updating to the latest available version. This can be seen in the video below, which shows me updating llama.cpp-hip-radeon .
So I’ve been doing a bit of refactoring, a bit of bug fixing and a bit of optimization. Essentially just polishing mocha before I work on the next feature. Here’s some of the stuff I did: created tests for ParseRefString to validate behavior cache manifest json between info calls since I/O is really slow bumped dependency versions refactored manifest/info.go Besides that I fixed the uninstall flow since it was really bugged after the latest changes. Essentially mocha would uninstall apps with incorrect info. It would also try to remove shims/shortcuts for apps which don’t have any active shims/shortcuts. I then added a bit of logging since the uninstall command didn’t give any user output for whatever reason (i forgot to earlier).
mocha now supports a user defined theme for output colors. In the process I ended up doing a lot of stuff related to the config. First thing I did was swap to fatih/color for colored output, since it handles stuff like colors in command prompt and removing color when output is piped. Then I refactored the config module. Earlier I would pass around a MochaConfiguration object through every function. Now I use a config singleton that’s accessible from any function. Why? Because it means I don’t need to pass the object every time I want to log information. Also means I don’t need to pass mochaDir through almost every function in the codebase. Getting user defined themes was a bit complicated because I needed a good way to handle a default theme so output doesn’t look bad if parsing fails. I handled this by only using the configured theme if every color resolves properly. Otherwise output falls back to the already loaded default theme. Due to this you still get colored output even if there are errors or warning before the configuration and theme is loaded.
I love refactoring!!!! I’ll probably end up spending another 20 hours just on refactoring because it’s so fun!!!! This time around I wanted to refactor the code so that our commands orchestrate stuff instead of the helper functions. For example, pkg.Install would first download a package, then install it, and then link it through shims and shortcuts all by itself. This causes issues because it means error messages become slightly worse, and it creates a class of bugs due to edge cases where we don’t necessarily want this order of orchestration. Hence I did a lot of refactoring in the pkg module. I also ended up adding a way to skip verification of downloads when downloading, installing or updating a package through --skip-verify . It’s a useful option in situations where there is a malformed manifest or simply no hash to begin with.
I’m writing this one right before F1 Qualifying at Spa! Continuing with the trend of some of my recent work, I improved what table outputs look like to be a little bit more readable. We now use proper separators in the form of Unicode Box Drawing Characters . I also made column alignment configurable, which improves legibility for some commands like mocha bucket list and mocha cache show . I’ve attached an image of the scoop and mocha versions of bucket list so you can compare for yourself.
Not sure why I didn’t do this earlier, but I’ve added success messages to commands where it makes sense. Also added a success color to the config so you can change what the success color is. I do still need to improve CLI output quite a bit, but it’s slowly getting there.
My summer break has ended so development is going to be a lot slower from now. I added mocha outdated so you can list outdated apps before upgrading them to a newer version. Besides that I tweaked a lot of stuff related to CLI output. For example I changed search to output one table, and simply outputting exact matches at the top of that table. I also changed a lot of messages which were using LogOutput to LogInfo so they use the correct color and output to stderr and not stdout .
Finally got a bit of time to do a bit of development. First thing I did was remove a field from install.json to match scoop . This means that mocha should be a drop in replacement for existing scoop installs. Then I added partial support for env_set and env_add_path . The main thing I need to do to complete the feature is parse variables and replace them with the appropriate paths. These 2 fields are some of the last manifest fields I need to support besides pre/post (un)install hooks.
Lot of time going into this devlog, but it makes sense since I did do a lot. I did this sweeping refactor of the entire commands module which moved around a lot of code. Essentially each command now gets it’s own directory under the commands module that represents it’s children/parents. For example commands/shim/remove/cmd.go contains code for the mocha shim remove command. Each cmd.go contains a Command struct that has the relevant fields and functions attached to it. This structure just makes things more organized and also means adding test files will be a bit easier since functionality is now isolated. I also sorted out the shim binary. So essentially https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Shim offers different version of the shim binary which can be installed. Previously I hard coded the code to install cpp v0.1.0 but now users can run mocha shim binary releases to see the options and mocha shim binary setup to install their chosen binary. This also means we actually get the latest releases from GitHub.
Lots of small bug fixes and changes, I’ll just list them out: feat(cmd): allow removal of multiple shims in one execution (f2fae3f) fix(manifest): correctly ignore invalid shortcut entries (6a08478) fix(fileops): use correct registry type (5d5d796) fix(config): seed config with defaults (9dfaaff) fix(cmd): use correct release sources (a2a9ba1) fix(cmd): use bucket from install info (5a9109b) I also added support for more file types being shimmed, which helps a lot with compatibility. The file types are .py , .bat , .cmd , .jar and .ps1 .
I forgot to make a devlog in between so this will be like 2 bigger devlogs. I parallelized bucket updates, which speeds it up quite a bit. This also allowed me to try out parallelism even more, which I plan to apply throughout the CLI later on. I also added configuration options for the runners which mocha shim will use to run certain file types. For example, you can set the python-runner to select the python version that’ll be used to run python scripts that are shimmed. Downloads now have a progress bar, so you don’t need to wonder whether something is happening or not during a long download. Finally env_set is fully supported since I added the relevant variable parsing. This was pretty much just me cleaning out the TODO list before I ship. I also did a lot of smaller bug fixes and refactors as seen below. fix(commands): prevent app installation if already installed (cb27d07) fix(commands): fix config opening with “start” (74f3679) fix(commands): correctly handle non-apps when upgrading (f7419f6) fix: make LogOutput go to Stdout not Stderr (bc10357) fix: handle empty versions correctly (2287da9) fix(pkg): remove correct temp dir (33189b6) fix(shim): warn for unknown shim extension (622c2b4) fix: skip downloads with no hash by default (69d4e35) fix: use correct timeout for downloads (44e527b) fix: drop unnecessary return value from GetExecutableEntries (9fd845c) fix(config): remove unused option (1339971) fix(commands): don’t error for valid results (87c4d6c) refactor(config): rename variables/functions (f253d9d) fix: use unique temp directories (a159e23) refactor: use fmt.Fprintln directly (d2d54bf)
So I wrote a README, added a license (MIT of course) and setup CI/CD so that releases are automatically built and deployed. Honestly I forgot how hard it is to write a good README. You need to get a lot of information through without it looking like a wall of text.
Ships:
I made a package manager for Windows, which is somewhat backwards compatible with scoop packages. To be honest there’s still a lot of work that I want to do, but I have exams and college application coming up soon so I can’t. That’s not to say I’m not happy with the state of the ship. At the very least it has all the core features that a package manager should have, but there are still a lot of bugs which is why this is only v0.0.1. The biggest challenge by far was trying to figure out how Scoop does things internally. A lot of stuff just doesn’t have documentation, so you have to dig through the really messy PowerShell source code....

New NPC Update The NPC system has been expanded into a full cultivation-style character system. NPCs now have random names, gender, identity, cultivation realm, attributes, spiritual roots, methods, spells, personality, inventory, relationship values, and persistent memory-style data. NPCs can now behave differently depending on personality, identity and relationship with the player. They can fight, flee, use spells, heal, trade, give quests, spar, and interact through a new dialogue screen. (PS the gui shown in the pic is only temporay) Major additions include: Talk, Interact, Trade, Quest, Teach/Learn, Inventory, About, Spar, Invite to Sect, Master/Disciple, and Dao Companion. Relationship stats: friendship, trust, affection, hatred Social actions like praise, joke, insult, threaten, and gifting NPCs can follow, stay, join sects, become master/disciple, or become Dao Companion if requirements are met. New NPC identities were added, with identity-based starting items and loot: 散修 剑修 刀修 魔修 器修 尸修 世家子弟 皇族 通缉犯 体修
Devlog #9 Ok so after some ratings and feedbacks I have decided to write better devlogs with more explaining and thoughts. Update: NPC I was working on npc on the last update and decided to further more finish this feature with adding a nice feature of … IDENTITY All Npc will all spawn with a random identity 散修 - Rogue Cultivator 剑修 - Sword Cultivator 刀修 - Saber Cultivator 魔修 - Demonic Cultivator 器修 - Artifact Cultivator 尸修 - Corpse Cultivator 世家子弟 - Noble Clan Disciple 皇族 - Royalty 通缉犯 - Wanted Criminal 体修 - Body Cultivator (Yes I actually added translation for chinese things now) This identity feature not only completes the Npc’s personality but for each identity they have there own special items (which really helps my mod’s survivability, adding a way to obtain items now) They also have their own personal dialogue based on their identity. Jindan Added a new breakthrough screen for zhuji to jindan, and a new dimension for your own personal jindan (like a new world you can channel 2000 qi in the center and you can build chunks in your own world) (see pics) Plans: I was going to further improve the Npcs but after adding a hole a lot of new items for each identity, I realized that I have a other system and features I didnt make (pill making system and more higher level spells)
Devlog #10 Ok so I have work on more than what is showed in the video but this feature is very big so the smaller thing can be talked about in the later devlog Restriction Enchantment Thingy Update 禁制 replaces normal enchantment levels for weapons and artifacts. Every artifact can contain multiple Restriction Layers: 1重禁制 2重禁制 3重禁制 …… 36重禁制 72重禁制 Each successfully engraved layer improves the weapon. Higher layers become progressively harder, more expensive, and more dangerous to refine. After reaching 72重禁制, the weapon can evolve into the next level Rules Controls Click a row to select its node. Click to the left or right of the bead, or use the < and > buttons, to move it. Use W/S or the Up/Down Arrow keys to change the selected node. Use A/D or the Left/Right Arrow keys to move the selected bead. Each bead has a Qi value ranging from 0 to 6 . The golden diamond shows the target value. When every node matches its target value at the same time, the formation is completed and all selected Restrictions are engraved onto the artifact. Moving one bead may also affect linked nodes. Nodes Types Normal Node A standard node that can be moved directly. The node turns gold when its value matches its target. Forward Golden Formation Line Linked beads move in the same direction. For example, moving one bead to the right also moves the connected bead to the right. Reversed Cyan Formation Line A cyan formation line marked with a “−” symbol. Linked beads move in opposite directions. For example, moving one bead to the right moves the connected bead to the left. Locked Node A gray node that cannot be moved directly. The player must move connected nodes to push it into the correct position. Locked nodes begin appearing from a total of 46 Restriction layers . Unstable Node A pulsating red-jade bead. It moves automatically after its displayed action interval and may also affect linked nodes. Unstable nodes begin appearing from Restriction layer 55 . Hidden Node Its target value is displayed as “?” The player must determine the correct target by observing the formation’s behavior or by using a hint. Hidden targets and move limits begin appearing from Restriction layer 73 .

Battle System 战斗状态/Battle Mode: activates when hitting something, or dmg from players, cultivators, or mobs counts too, normally lasts 15 seconds Manual mode: press Y to lock combat mode on until pressed again it can be disabled in settings Normal attacks (left click just normal attack) Heavy attacks (hold attack for 0.5 seconds, then release, normal heavy attacks deal 120% weapon dmg) Blocking (hold left and right click together you dont take dmg, but the weapon loses durability and the blocked dmg harms posture) 架势/Posture: maximum posture is 100 + Physical Attack × 100 + Max HP ÷ 2. It regenerates by 1% each second 破势/Zero Posture: at zero posture, the player is stunned for 1.5 seconds, cannot block, takes 25% more dmg, and loses their current spell charge 外放灵气/External qi: qi injected weapons can release long, straight qi slashes, with the dmg, width, and range scaling with injected qi amount Recent Weapons 精铁枪: A 14 dmg spear normal attacks is like normal, while heavy attacks use a thrust animation and forms a qi cone shaped thingy 铁骨扇: Shift right click switches forms: closed form deals 3 dmg and uses a cone heavy attack and open form deals 5 dmg and uses slash attacks 拂尘: Deals 7 dmg normal attacks is normal too, but its heavy attack spins five times in front of the player, damaging everything within 3 blocks.

Right click throws normally and heavy attacks throw a faster knife that can break five blocks before exploding. 飞针 and 袖箭: 飞针 deals 4 dmg, has 1,000 durability, and consumes 10 durability per shot. 袖箭 can be held or equipped in a back accessory slot. Normal attacks fire ordinary needles but heavy attacks fire qi powered explosive needles Etc Added more English Remake some gui Remake some models
Devlog #13 Oops, I got the 8 hours warning and I forgot about it and not I have 12 hours…. sigh. So this update I mainly update the magic ritual mod I have before, and before you ask yes this is the right project, I merge the magic ritual mod with this mod and then revamped the whole thing. This devlog is kinda short because I am getting lazy. Magic Ritual Combo system The Ritual Dagger is your primary tool for creating and managing magic rituals. Right-click with the dagger to open the Magic Circle Selection screen, where you can choose a magic circle type to place at your feet. Shift + Right-click to open the Radius Selection screen, where you can place a Magic Center Block with a chosen radius Attack Red - Grants Strength I Defense Blue - Grants Resistance I Regeneration Green - Grants Regeneration I There are certain pattern for special effect after putting it in its pattern you can punch the center with the dagger and the new magic center is formed Combo visuals and glyph behavior Basic center have one image pattern Combo center have two image pattern If glyph mode is turned off, there is an entering animation
Devlog #13 Sooo, did a few entities and most important zhenpan and flags for the magic circle. Zhenpan When empty shift right click to store a magic center When full shift right click to place a magic center back down When store magic center the radius of the magic center is changed to 5 if higher When right click summon a temp magic center of the radius 5 that appear for 20 sec The cost is calculated based on the spirit stones in inventory first then player’s qi Flags Now in the magic center there is a new tab with a gui (in the pics) where you can put flags, they modified the effect of your magic circle. But each newly added flag will increase the cost of the magic center by 1.3x, so the cost can reach to 2693457 qi when using a maxed out zhenpan. Formation Flag Effects Blank Formation Flag — No active effect, used to forge specialized flags Duration Flag — Adds 3 seconds to a temporary Magic Center’s lifetime per flag Amplifier Flag — Adds 1 extra attack whenever an formation triggers Spirit Gathering Flag — Reduces formation fuel/energy consumption by 25% per flag, it does not add the normal ×1.5 flag cost Swift Formation Flag — Makes normal formation effects trigger 30% faster per flag and increases fuel consumption by 30% Qi Return Flag — Restores 10 Qi per flag when a player kills an enemy inside the formation

Devlog #17 MORE STRUCTURES i got into the phase of building so more structres!
Devlog #18 Working on flying boat or valkyrie skies like things, I dont think that is copyright as it is not the main part of my mod, if it is tell me in the comments thanks Flying Boats Four core tiers control maximum capture size: Low: 100×100×100 Medium: 200×200×200 High: 400×400×400 Sect: 800×800×800 Existing ships can still be minimized into an item and placed again later The lingzhou core GUI is where you manage the ship. It shows the ship’s status, tier, size, fuel/灵气, current pilot, permissions, settings, movement mode, anchor controls, shutdown, and storage Fuel use is based on how many blocks the ship actually has and what it is doing. Hovering uses fuel, while an anchored ship does not The ship helm is used to pilot the lingzhou. While controlling it, the mouse wheel can be used to change the ship’s speed Autopilot lets you enter destination coordinates and have the ship travel toward them automatically Players and other entities move together with the ship. You can walk around the deck, jump, climb stairs, and move around normally while the ship is flying If part of the ship gets disconnected, that section is no longer supported by the lingzhou and falls back into the world as normal blocks Turning off the lingzhou core removes the ship’s magical lift. The ship keeps whatever momentum it already had and begins falling under gravity Etc Fix system prices Fix textures Fix names of items Added JEI compatibility for 鼎 forging Added recipes for a lot of weapons Removed combo system Added a fox beast

These last few days I have been figuring out many of the problems I had while writing in JavaScript for watches with Zepp OS. As of now, I have resolved most of them, but I still have to design the UI and organize the answers from the Habitica API.

Jojk now has the following features: Support for text types (bold, italic, strikethrough, etc) Can do links! No compiler warnings!

Several notable changes, including: Support for lists!!! (Unordered, ordered coming soon) Lambda notation More concise code and shorter function names Getting the lists to work was a nightmare, i had to do some cheeky recursion thing and it was not easy. I also had to put parentheses like everywhere for the compiler to understand what ordering i wanted, but it didnt say that, it just said “Couldn’t match expected type with actual type”, and i had no idea what was going on.

I have added the functionality of moving windows and closing and opening of them. For now, the functionality of opening and closing is only for hobbies window, i will add it for other windows too. I’m thinking of making the taskbar that holds all the programs as the hotbar in minecraft.
Added the hotbar, which will contain all the programs and windows. I also completed the functionality of closing and opening of windows to all the windows. Should i add the old minecraft launcher icon as my OS icon? I think it would look pretty good.

added custom app to credit myself , i think im done with the OS, maybe if i feel bored i might add more apps. But for now, im gonna get the website up on github pages.

I worked on the initial design, rebuilt parts of the belt assembly, chose and mounted the encoders, dealt with the wiring, and started learning how to control the system with a state-space model and LQR. Starting the CAD I began by researching different mechanical options while building the model in Onshape. Before I could get far into the full assembly, I needed to settle details such as the shaft, bearings, supports, and how everything would fit together.The first recording was only 57 minutes because recording my screen was making everything lag. In the next session, I continued developing the pivot assembly. The shaft passes through a bearing mounted in a shaped support plate, with another support behind it.The following 2h 52m session continued the CAD work. I spent more time on the plates, their hole layouts, and the surrounding geometry. At this stage, I was still developing individual parts rather than working with a finished mechanism. Reworking the belt assembly I spent another 38 minutes remaking the belt-related parts. I moved between editing the plate and checking how everything fit in the full assembly. This made it easier to see how the rail, carriage, shaft supports, and belt system would work together.This is why the update contains several separate CAD sessions. I kept returning to the same mechanism as the design developed: first the pivot, then the plates and belt assembly, and eventually the encoder mounts and smaller hardware details.Choosing the encodersThe next problem was deciding which encoders to use. I researched different options and mounting arrangements, including AMT-style encoders, before deciding to use the encoders I already had. That took another 1h 1m.Choosing the encoder was only half of the problem. I still had to determine how to mount it and connect everything reliably. Encoder wiring pain The appropriately named “Encoder Wiring Pain” session lasted 3h 40m. I worked through the encoder connections and looked at mounting references while figuring out how the sensor would fit into the rest of the mechanism.After that, I spent another 1h 52m making smaller mechanical changes in Onshape. By this point I was working on details around the encoder housing, connector, fasteners, and nearby parts.These changes were individually small, but they mattered because the sensor needed to fit around the existing hardware without interfering with the moving assembly.Learning state space and LQR The longest of the first eight sessions was 5h 19m. I spent it coding, learning about state-space control and LQR, and continuing some of the CAD work.I worked through notes for a state-space model and LQR controller for a cart double-pendulum system.

My website will have a lot of prebuild invitation template(HBS) for different different events So the point is different templates require different forms should be filled by the user. Therefore when the admin create different template, the admin should list the require fields for the form of the specific template. Problems faced: My thoughts was to make a prebuild list of fields, from that the admin should list them in specific order. Problem - 1 The first problem was there is no form element to do these. So i used a select element with a ‘Add’ btn. For the sorting, at first i used up/down button, but that wasn’t smooth. After researching I found sortable js. At first sortable js also was not smooth, I fixed that by removing some bootstrap classes from the tag. Problem - 2 The next problem I faced was I cant use required in the custom fields list maker, So I can’t make that field mandatory. Solution (simple) The solution was simple, I made a invisible <textarea required .....> , and add the list of fields to that in json string when the admin edited the list.

This page is going to be the main place where all invitation templates are managed, so I wanted to get the basic structure done before moving on to creating more templates. Templates Grid The first thing I worked on was the layout. I switched the page to a responsive grid system and started building the actual templates page. I also added a Create Template card that is only visible to admins. Clicking the card opens a modal for creating new templates. Template Creation Modal The modal is still incomplete, but the basic flow is now working. Currently it has fields for: Template name HTML file name Preview image Template category Template fields There’s still quite a bit of work left to do here, but at least the structure is finally in place. Template Categories & Fields One thing I didn’t want to do was create a completely separate form for every invitation type. Instead, I’m building a system where templates can be configured using categories and predefined fields. const templateCategories = [ { id : \" wedding \" , name : \" Wedding \" }, { id : \" engagement \" , name : \" Engagement \" }, { id : \" birthday \" , name : \" Birthday \" } .... ] const templateFields = [ { id : \" eventTitle \" , label : \" Event Title \" , type : \" text \" , category : \" common \" }, { id : \" groomName \" , label : \" Groom Name \" , type : \" text \" , category : \" wedding \" } .... ] Right now I’ve added categories for weddings, birthdays, engagements, housewarmings, baby showers and several other event types. The field system should make adding future templates a lot easier. Small UI Improvements I also spent some time cleaning up the page and added a footer. The site is slowly starting to look more like an actual product instead of a collection of pages. Next The next step is finishing the template creation page and making the field selection system fully functional.

Devlog - 4 Today I connected my website to firestore for database I have implemented the saving of login information of user to user collection of firestore database This is the implementation code: service\userService.js : async function saveUserLogin ( userRecord ) { return db . collection ( " users " ) . doc ( userRecord . uid ) . set ( { displayName : userRecord . displayName || null , email : userRecord . email , photoURL : userRecord . photoURL || null , lastLoginAt : new Date ( userRecord . metadata . lastSignInTime ) }, { merge : true } ) } service\userService.js : router . post ( " /sessionLogin " , async ( req , res ) => { const idToken = req . body . idToken ; const expiresIn = 60 * 60 * 24 * 13 * 1000 ; try { const sessionCookie = await admin . auth (). createSessionCookie ( idToken , { expiresIn : expiresIn }); const options = { maxAge : expiresIn , httpOnly : true , secure : false }; const decodedClaims = await admin . auth (). verifySessionCookie ( sessionCookie , true ); const userRecord = await admin . auth (). getUser ( decodedClaims . uid ); await saveUserLogin ( userRecord ) res . cookie ( ' session ' , sessionCookie , options ) res . status ( 200 ). send ({ status : " success " }) } catch ( err ) { console . error ( err ) res . status ( 401 ). send ( ' Unauthorized request! ' ); } }) I also created the redirect from login page if login successful / refresh in login fail (these things where previously missing) Also there are many UI improvements made, that’s not written in this Devlog (●’◡’●)
Devlog 5 - Templates Page Spent 4 hours and 52 minutes working on the templates page today. This page is going to be the main place where all invitation templates are managed, so I wanted to get the basic structure done before moving on to creating more templates. Templates Grid The first thing I worked on was the layout. I switched the page to a responsive grid system and started building the actual templates page. I also added a Create Template card that is only visible to admins. Clicking the card opens a modal for creating new templates. Template Creation Modal The modal is still incomplete, but the basic flow is now working. Currently it has fields for: Template name HTML file name Preview image Template category Template fields There’s still quite a bit of work left to do here, but at least the structure is finally in place. Template Categories & Fields One thing I didn’t want to do was create a completely separate form for every invitation type. Instead, I’m building a system where templates can be configured using categories and predefined fields. const templateCategories = [ { id : " wedding " , name : " Wedding " }, { id : " engagement " , name : " Engagement " }, { id : " birthday " , name : " Birthday " } .... ] const templateFields = [ { id : " eventTitle " , label : " Event Title " , type : " text " , category : " common " }, { id : " groomName " , label : " Groom Name " , type : " text " , category : " wedding " } .... ] Right now I’ve added categories for weddings, birthdays, engagements, housewarmings, baby showers and several other event types. The field system should make adding future templates a lot easier. Small UI Improvements I also spent some time cleaning up the page and added a footer. The site is slowly starting to look more like an actual product instead of a collection of pages. Next The next step is finishing the template creation page and making the field selection system fully functional. Once that’s done, adding new templates should be much faster than it is right now.
Devlog 6 - Template creation form In this 6h 44m, I made a lot of features but the main highlight was the work on the template creation form ( continuation of previous devlog) Story Time: Basically my project is a wedding invitation page generator. My website will have a lot of prebuild invitation template(HBS) for different different events So the point is different templates require different forms should be filled by the user. Therefore when the admin create different template, the admin should list the require fields for the form of the specific template. Problems faced: My thoughts was to make a prebuild list of fields, from that the admin should list them in specific order. Problem - 1 The first problem was there is no form element to do these. So i used a select element with a ‘Add’ btn. For the sorting, at first i used up/down button, but that wasn’t smooth. After researching I found sortable js. At first sortable js also was not smooth, I fixed that by removing some bootstrap classes from the tag. Problem - 2 The next problem I faced was I cant use required in the custom fields list maker, So I can’t make that field mandatory. Solution (simple) The solution was simple, I made a invisible <textarea required .....> , and add the list of fields to that in json string when the admin edited the list. Thank you for reading ❤️, Mrithul.
Continuing the writting of the first template for the site !!! basically my project is a invitation page builder, it needs a lot of custom template. | ▽ not complete yet
First template design completed !!! fully using Bootstrap , and some css
added a very very cool text area for entering description for each field completely build on bootstrap accordion check it out !!!
new knoledge unlocked: I can use : app . use ( ' /admin ' , requireAdmin , adminRouter ) instead of : app . use ( requireAdmin ) app . use ( ' /admin ' , adminRouter ) I know everybody knows this, but this is a knowledge to me
Added hackclub cdn to the project !!! At first it didn’t worked because of compatibly issue of new nodejs’s fetch and npm form-data module fixed using new build-in formData()
connected the admin only template creation form to the firestore AND also made the template cards load dynamically currently provided image is a placeholder This is admin page , only admin page have create template button
Researching on custom form builder On deep research on making a custom form builder form my each templates , I found : formeo, jquery form builder and survayJS
Switched from formeo to jquery form builder formeo doesn’t support many input types
Added delete template option for admin The delete option will delete the template from the database and also delete the thumbnail image stored in hackclub CDN
Added error messages in data submissions in rendered template form Added a 50 MB file size limit in file upload (for now only frontend checks are implemented, backend check is TODO).
Research: How to limit the total file size in a multipart/formData (Express.js) After many searches I found out that multer don’t support this I am planning to use Busboy directly
Handle multipart uploads with file size limits using busboy i want to limit the max total file upload to 50 MB, multer cant have this feature so I use busboy and wrote long long code to solve this problem code :
Handle multipart uploads with file size limits using busboy formidable ✓ In the last devlog I shared a very large code to limit max total requiest size using busboy. Yesterday , In a simple google search , the Google AI mode suggested me of Formidable previously idk formidable … So I learned about that , it made my code so tiny frontend logic was already there
Connected the form created using jquery forms to HackClub CDN My website is basically a site that have many templates for different kind of event. A user can select a template , this will redirect to a form. Each template have entirely different forms , each form is created by the Admin using a jquery form builder ui. Because these form structures are unknow to the server, the server dont know how much file input fields are there. so we cant set a limit on number of file input fields and per input size. So I set a 50 MB total upload limit using formidable before sending files to hackclub cdn. This makes the usage fair.
Added a option to write the template(HBS) and the form from frontend implemented: option to write the template(HBS) and the form from frontend hbs to CDN script 10 MB fields limit in template creation router (multer) Invitation total file size limit 50 MB (formidable) Invitation data processing and cleanup
added template and form rendering from Database
Reached initial working stage First working template added Added: render of hbs from cdn rendering of custom form from database
Added search option in templates Implemented using Fuse.js *images are placeholders
User experience improvement implemented: made the created invitation url return fron server to frontend removed unwanted console.log used for debugging made the “Get started” button in frontend functional Added: invitation link and copy button in invitation creation form submission page
Added ‘My invitations’ section in website Added My invitations section that shows the invitations created by that user. From here user can see the invitation, creation date, and user can also delete the invitation. Delete option will delete all files that are part of that invitation from the cdn, then delete the complete invitation from the db. And also added some minor fixes such as: webpage title issues added favicon etc…
Added confirmation for logout and Added redirect to the last visited URL in login Added redirect to the last visited URL in login Added confirmation for logout, and made the logout route a long random string
Added the pages such as About, privacy-policies etc… Added About, Privacy policies , Terms of service page in hbs and added the corresponding routers for it
Added README.md !! *Not comleted yet, no images and videos are added yet
Added demo video to the home page Updated README.md and also fixed many minor css and html issues
Fix: Chrome media hub staying active even when video stops fixed this by removing the src and loading the video again into chrome’s memory, this solves the problem .
Minor css fix removed many useless css code. Made it more good. not that the gradients are not generated by AI, instead it is generated by online CSS gradient maker. Don’t this that this is a AI generated/AI styled project. This site doesn’t have that much huge css to use AI. The Login with Google button is copied by some article in Medium. The gradient used in the home page Get Started button is custom made using CSS gradient generator The background image and the animated phone image is generated by Chatgpt. I don’t know whether this is contributing to the AI feel 🥲🥲😭😭 UPDATE: : By asking to shipwrights, they say that it was flagged and AI because it used AI generated images, which is not allowed. So i made it my self using canva, here it is:
full css and ui rework: Changed the background image Made the design and animation minimalistic updated the navbar and footer removed unwanted styling in css removed unwanted gradient from text made minimal footer
Some reworks readme updated added more gap in between the template card added the github link to the navbar changed some fonts in homepage and added some paragraph sections there
Minor security fixes as per GitHub security scan Inclusion of functionality from an untrusted source Client-side URL redirect using query in URL

I made a website for creating digital invitation webpages by simply selecting a template and filling out a form. This can help reduce paper usage by decreasing printed inviation lol .. I faced many challenges during the development: Building the logic for creating different different forms for each and every templates Limiting the total file size in http request Building a UI for creating forms by Drag-and-Droping Couldn’t host in vercel because vercel blocks requests more that ~4 MB Admin centralized working (only admin can create templates, this ensures security) I am proud of dedecating 3 months to complete this project, without doing any other project. To run my project my project you will need firebase api key, and hackclub cdn api. But you can’t get the already created templates because those are stored in firebase.

It is an auditor for websites that gets raw JSON data from Google PageSpeed/Lighthouse and adds an AI (Gemini) layer, which basically describes every mistake on your website in understandable language and tells you how to fix it. This project was almost built by myself. I did the FastAPI backend, and the frontend is mostly my own ideas (80%), the other 20% was done with AI because I didn’t know what fonts and colors to use. I also did the deployment frontend is on Netlify, backend is on Nest (Stardance/Hack Club). What was difficult? Honestly, during building the backend I encountered a lot of bugs. One I’m proud I found: the AI explanation step was blocking, with no timeout, so a slow Gemini response could freeze the entire server for every user at once, not just one request. I found this by deliberately load-testing with 5 browser tabs at once, then fixed it by running it in a thread with a 20-second timeout. Later, the Nest container itself went down, and because of my limited knowledge of Linux I used AI (Claude Sonnet 5) to help me understand what was going on. Instead of just guessing it was my code, I tested the backend directly on the server (localhost) versus through the public domain, and proved the problem was on Nest’s side, not mine and later their own admin confirmed it was a platform-wide issue affecting all containers, not just mine. I also found a few bugs during testing for example, when the URL contained just underscores or random text like “not_a_url_at_all”, the frontend counted it as a valid URL and sent it to the backend anyway, wasting API calls before failing. I had to rewrite the URL validation logic in script.js to properly check it looks like a real domain first. Why I am still proud of my project? The main reason is that it still works even when the AI API is broken or times out, you still must to get a full audit with the technical description. The second reason is, I wrote earlier, the design was almost done by myself. What you should know before testing. I recommend for testing you use a light website with mostly basic HTML and CSS structure e.g. example.com. If you don’t know any test URL, here you are: example.com info.cern.ch httpbin.org sitescope-ai.netlify.app motherfuckingwebsite.com bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com text.npr.org ! If it says “failed to fetch”, try another one of these URLs or wait a few minutes, Nest might be repairing the backend containers. ! Don’t use e-shop or big brand websites like McDonald’s, Nike, Adidas, etc., because of the large amount of images the audit can take too long and time out…", "repo": "https://github.com/ich-bin-eugenius/sitescope-ai", "demo": "https://sitescope-ai.netlify.app/"}]...

DEVLOG #5 - Backend Fixes & Frontend Today I worked mainly on the backend, fixed several issues with the Google PageSpeed API, solved the API quota problem and added CORS so the frontend can communicate with the backend properly. I also started working on a better-looking frontend that should make SiteScope AI more attractive and easier to use… thanks for reading this devlog and watching that video.
Hello guys! Welcome to my 6th devlog! 🔥🙃 Today I finally made a big improvement to the frontend. I got the initial idea from the internet and combined it with my own design skills and AI to create something that fits SiteScope AI. I also finally figured out why I kept getting the “PageSpeed API daily limit reached” error, even though my 25,000-token quota was still available. Turns out I was running the backend from the wrong directory. 😭 I also started working on making the frontend more polished and attractive. That’s all for today!

Devlog #7 - Phase 1 complete & Gemini prompt testing Today I finished Phase 1 by testing valid, invalid and slow URLs and fixing client-side URL validation to prevent unnecessary PageSpeed API requests. I also started Phase 2: designed and tested the Gemini prompt for generating explanation, why_it_matters and how_to_fix for each audit issue. The first AI outputs are working well, so I’m moving on to integrating this into the actual audit pipeline.
DEVLOG #8 - Frontend improvements & new ideas From September 2nd to 7th, I spent around 4 hours working on SiteScope AI. I mainly improved the frontend to make it feel less AI-generated and more like my own design. I also came up with new ideas for pages like About and Thanks, different themes, and a better project navigation system. I also started working on hosting the backend and tried Nest, a free hosting service from Hack Club. It didn’t work out yet, but I’ll keep working on it. Overall, a lot of frontend improvements, new ideas and some backend experiments this time.
DEVLOG #9 - Backend finally working Today I spent a bit less time on SiteScope AI than usual, but I finally solved one of the biggest problems so far - getting the backend properly hosted and connected. Claude Sonnet 5 helped me understand the Nest setup, especially the systemd service and how to make the backend accessible from outside the server. I also discovered that I had simply forgotten to set the target port 8000 in the Nest dashboard…🙌😭, thanks guys for reading bye :>
DEVLOG #10 - AI timeouts, Nest drama & almost shipping Today I fixed a pretty annoying issue with the AI part of SiteScope AI. Basically, if Gemini took too long to respond, it could make the whole backend freeze 💀. I added a 20s timeout and now the audit just falls back to the normal Lighthouse description if AI takes too long. Then Nest decided to have a little meltdown 😭. My container went down and SSH kept disconnecting. At first I thought I broke something, but apparently it was a problem on Nest’s side affecting multiple containers. I also found that heavier websites can take too long to audit, so for now there’s roughly a 30s limit. Finally, I finished the README and did some small UI fixes. So yeah… SiteScope AI is basically ready for a ship.
The project is ready for shipping, I fixed a few bugs just before it. I hope you like it! :)
Alright guys, here we go… I don’t know if I can call this DEVLOG 11, because I didn’t add any new features, I just rewrote almost the entire frontend because it was kind of AI-generated. Sorry about that, but I still hope you like it…
Ships:
Hello, I made a project called SiteScope AI! It is an auditor for websites that gets raw JSON data from Google PageSpeed/Lighthouse and adds an AI (Gemini) layer, which basically describes every mistake on your website in understandable language and tells you how to fix it. This project was almost built by myself. I did the FastAPI backend, and the frontend is mostly my own ideas (80%), the other 20% was done with AI because I didn’t know what fonts and colors to use. I also did the deployment frontend is on Netlify, backend is on Nest (Stardance/Hack Club). What was difficult? Honestly, during building the backend I encountered a lot of bugs. One I’m proud I found: the AI explanation step was blocking, with no timeout, so a slow Gemini response could freeze the entire server for every user at once, not just one request. I found this by deliberately load-testing with 5 browser tabs at once, then fixed it by running it in a thread with a 20-second timeout. Later, the Nest container itself went down, and because of my limited knowledge of Linux I used AI (Claude Sonnet 5) to help me understand what was going on. Instead of just guessing it was my code, I tested the backend directly on the server (localhost) versus through the public domain, and proved the problem was on Nest’s side, not mine and later their own admin confirmed it was a platform-wide issue affecting all containers, not just mine. I also found a few bugs during testing for example, when the URL contained just underscores or random text like “not_a_url_at_all”, the frontend counted it as a valid URL and sent it to the backend anyway, wasting API calls before failing. I had to rewrite the URL validation logic in script.js to properly check it looks like a real domain first. Why I am still proud of my project? The main reason is that it still works even when the AI API is broken or times out, you still must to get a full audit with the technical description. The second reason is, I wrote earlier, the design was almost done by myself. What you should know before testing. I recommend for testing you use a light website with mostly basic HTML and CSS structure e.g. example.com. If you don’t know any test URL, here you are: example.com info.cern.ch httpbin.org sitescope-ai.netlify.app motherfuckingwebsite.com bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com text.npr.org ! If it says “failed to fetch”, try another one of these URLs or wait a few minutes, Nest might be repairing the backend containers. ! Don’t use e-shop or big brand websites like McDonald’s, Nike, Adidas, etc., because of the large amount of images the audit can take too long and time out…...

Devlog #5 Almost (almost) finished Jam 3. The welcome window opens and closes properly, and the “Messing around” button opens the tab, while the wheel icon closes it.
Cleaned up my code. That’s pretty much all for today, just organised my in-line CSS into class-based CSS, and here are screenshots of my new code:

Devlog-2; Today was fun, chose my OS default wallpaper, designed taskbar and partial start menu.
Devlog-3; So, I created start menu behavior in my GEngine OS.
#Devlog-4; I add property of draggability and close function in my web os.
Devlog-5; Today, I added multiple copy function in javascript and started working on settings div.
Devlog-6; Refactored my code, created usable function.
Devlog - 7 working on adding play, pause and forward button.

Perhaps the most important and subtle detail that makes this program feel good is the addition of the Key press Bar making it easier for you to know how long you have pressed the bar and which key you are using
Ships:
I made a web arcade style website that only uses a single key to perform and and load different applications. one these involve Morse Code , Rolling a die, Random Wiki-verse information.. etc
A website that only uses a SINGLE KEY! The most challenging part was learning the implementation of DOM using Brython and not messing up syntax in the “STRING FORMAT” which is so hard to debug...

I’m not a great map builder, so making even one map or all stages took a lot of time, plus taking on the task of making 3 maps for the first release was, admittedly, a not-so-thought-through idea. Of course, this doesn’t mean that there was just 1 challenge, this was just the main one for me. Please note: due to the Roblox guideline changes, you must have an account that is 16+ Facial Age Estimation or ID verified to play the game. This can only be changed if the game reaches 250 “active” players.

I believe that this, by far is the longest project I’ve ever made. During the process, I’ve learned A LOT more about studio and luau overall, which will definetly help make better games (with better implementations). I have to admit, coming closer to the end there was a bit of burnout, but the result, in my opinion, was definetly worth it. I also want to say thank you to everyone that has supported me and this project, it means a lot :) Since the last devlog, I fixed and updated the few rough edges left in the game, GitHub repository and Stardance which are: Stardance: Making a new banner (old one didn’t even match the style of the game anymore) Adding a demo link & github repository link GitHub repository: Made a README that, in my opinion, is nice. It follows the requirements that the shipping guide/README guide Stardance mentions (controls, images, demo link, features, etc) Game: Changing the teleport screen to one that blends in during teleport Changed badges for new ones (icons) and requirements (now 1, 10 and 22 stages) Made the maze in stage 8 (grass map) harder to complete, was too easy before Changed all loading music Removed the funFacts moduleScript (not needed anymore) Stage 9 sign fixed to show status for Arcade_9 instead of Arcade_3 Updated desertMap particles to be thinner Changed loadUI to have fake shadow text instead of a thick UIStroke"}, {"post_id": 65465, "ts": "2026-09-10T16:40:51Z", "hours": 1.6436, "text": "Desert map complete!

In my opinion, light mode looks decent but I still prefer dark mode. A new setting that is still a bit of a work in progress, but mostly finished is a hide UI hotkey , which as the name states, hides ui (in-game only). I still need to implement that the setting saves, but overall it works just fine. It’s made to only apply a keybind if you’re playing on PC, though. Fixes: autosaveUI loading/saving icon was still spinning when not visible. Fixed by seeing if the frame is actually visible (instead of if the frame exists, small typo) Shadow button now just changes immediately instead of waiting for the server to change the variable, now it just fires the remoteEvent only to save the setting autosaveUI UIstroke clipping fixed by changing it to apply inner instead of outer Tree sway intensity has been changed to be a bit lower, otherwise it’d look unnatural. Tree pivots fixed to be on the bottom for tree sway (this was a pain) Tree pivot issues: Changing tree pivots manually always broke for some reason. It took a few hours to fix them, then when I dragged the trees down it reset them. Upon pressing undo the pivots were still reset, not like they were before. Then, I tried fixing them without dragging anything, and the next time I opened studio it reset again. I found that ctrl+l may work, but that didn’t work either. Had to end up cloning everything over again, which somehow has made the shadows more intense in the dense tree areas, even though nothing changed between the two.

Devlog 2, a lot has changed! Project demo available in the video Features: Shop UI has now been fully implemented and saving works Golf balls are now customizable by buying cosmetics from the shop (with in-game cash), cosmetics consist of golf ball colors, trails and effects Music UI has been added to the game for listening songs during gameplay Now there was one bad thing, which is that I somehow accidentally deleted the whole shop UI and had to remake it since autosave (of course) had to save in that exact moment..

Finally start building the map (if nothing else comes up that needs fixing, or another idea that needs to be implemented)
Devlog 5! New fixes and additions also shown in the video Features: Parts now spin the same speed at any fps, and one main script is now controlling them all using CollectionService The GolfStick now has customization added in the shop! Autosave has been added (saves every 60sec with visual UI) Completed levels and main menu settings get saved Main menu now has transitions! Fixes: Shop and music menu now finally properly scale on ALL resolutions! Shop buttons fixed with scale instead of sizing Disabled the back button when attempting to teleport to a different place Lights are fixed for the nightTime setting (didn’t turn on/off before) Ambiance now plays with the nightTime setting on A saved table is now used instead of searching for lamp parts each time the alpha tween runs (dynamic lighting on/off tween), in result saving performance. Fixed golf ball trail and effect visibility (now you don’t see other player trails and effects, which reduced visibility before.) Main menu play button fixed to not start volume fade out from volume 1, instead now uses the current volume of the sound Commented out debug prints that aren’t needed anymore (kept incase something breaks though) Fixed saves when altf4-ing from the game or the server shutting down. PlayerRemoving and BindToClose double saving upon shutdown Still need to replace: Placeholder images and items in the shop UI. After that, time to start building!
Small update/Devlog 5.5 I’ve been working on a few things for the game before starting to build the map and in result wanted to share these. Changes: “New” spawnPad and clearBall models, both now display their cooldowns with text and colors (locally for the player) I’ve replaced the low quality music in the main menu and added a “few” more songs, instead of just 11 songs now the game has.. 87! Now the main menu is also controlled by one script only, instead of having one in each button (in result also making porting easier to the other places) Also, the side buttons have been redesigned! Now they have a collapse menu button, and a button for returning to the main menu. This is so that more of the screen is available for mobile players (and a bit of the screen on PC, too). Returning to the main menu will be useful for example, if the player completes every stage in the Grass “destination”/Environment and wants to continue to the next one. Also the music UI has been fixed to work on 4K (didn’t properly implement scale on the buttons) And, a very special thing in my opinion is that the shop is finally complete ! Consisting of golf balls, trails, effects and different golf clubs (for a visual representation, go to the video after reading this post) The Golf club preview image on the tool changes per the equipped cosmetic too!
Map development update I’ve been working on a few ideas recently and have been attempting to build something “decent”. With a bit of trial and error so far I’ve made A tree And 3 stages 🤞 Perfect development pace, isn’t it? Anyway, here are the images showing stages and the tree.
Map development update #2 I’ve developed the map and it’s outer scenery a lot , although I’m running into optimization regarding te trees. (haven’t worked on a lot of stages though, only added the 4th one) Maybe the tree has a lot of vertices and I could somehow optimize it in blender? If so, that could be the main factor why the game ran better with less trees. Sunrays, bloom and a shorter range detpth of field have been added And a small experiment for a tutorial cutscene has been added too. In the process of this “devlog” I’ve also lost 11h of work Also, a new loading screen has been added and the one from TP has been fixed!
Small update/Devlog 6 New additions: A tutorial has been added and is fully working! (still needs sounds but otherwise fully complete) Main menu disallows the player to join the Arcade and Desert map if they haven’t completed the tutorial yet. Map scenery is done! Only need the stages now A boost pad has been added (and a golf ball loop will be made!) Colorcorrectioneffect has been added to make the game brighter in terms of colors instead of dull. Fixes: Trees were optimized a little in blender (the fir tree originally had 6.6k faces when I opened the file.. oof) Renderfidelity on leaf parts for trees was changed to automatic (otherwise the trees would look like twigs from far away) Lights turn off when daytime cycle setting gets turned off Daytime cycle script fixed to turn off after turning off the nighttime setting Changes: Lighting from invisible walls on stages removed (will use lights that the player can see instead) Main menu UI has been changed to have shadows on the buttons. Main menu UI text also has a “manual” shadow on the “Choose your destination!” text UIStroke on stage signs is now a bit thicker (text is easier to read) Need to add/fix: UI that shows your current leaderboard stats instead of the default one Arm swinging the golfstick when moving with it (will probably either switch to R6 or just make an invisible hitbox for the tool) Note: Ignore the last map building update. The upload system completely broke for me. I can’t add an attachment to the devlog (so I can’t edit it) and deleting it just results in an error.
Devlog 7 Additions: Grass map is now complete! Added lamp scenery to the stages, so you can actually complete them during the night Tutorial is complete with music! Shop UI now has shadows behind the buttons Added an invisible hitbox extension to the golfstick (mainly fixes issue, although still may need to switch to r6 due to animation packs) UI with stats (Cash, stages won) and sounds + cash counting up/down The tutorial now has animations for hitting the ball Changes: Tutorial made more visually similar overall First tutorial animation changed to: Move the golfstick not as far back/forward Move the golfstick a bit faster when hitting the ball Tutorial second animation changed to: Not rotate the golfstick as far (60 degrees instead of 90) Fixes: Stats UI centering on screen Before starting to work on the next map which is the Arcade, a few other settings will be added to the settings menu. Music UI may also change.
Hello again! I’ve started working on the arcade map, as the grass map is pretty much complete (just need to fix the ui a bit) I’ve decided to rewrite the playSound script a bit to not be hardcoded and play a different sound (depending on what string is received from the remoteEvent) instead of creating a remoteEvent and a new script for each one For example, now it can play either the golfhole sound or the sound for the ball disappearing in stage 2. Also, for the new automated door, I’ve experimented a little with spatial-ish sound. Turns out it’s really easy (for what I need, atleast) So far I’ve made a few things in-game and outlined a few ideas and a roadmap. Currently built: First three stages (which are glow-in-the-dark!) mostly complete parking lot Front of the building (although unfinished) A road leading up to the parking lot with a small grass patch. Automated door There may not be as much devlogs now, but the game is still in development!
Every stage in the Arcade (map) has been built! The arcade now consists of 9 stages in total! New thing is that some are a bit more.. interactive , and a few are a bit difficult or tedious .. to say the least. (example of changing stages the attached video) Now that the stages are done, the game is inching a bit closer to completion! Now, of course, there may be ~15 or more things to still complete in the roadmap , but any progress is great. You may (or may not) be wondering how I made all of these in 4 hours. Well, I only have one explanation. I uhh… forgot to enable the plugin after making something else. Oops! (factory gambler prototype) Anyway, during this time a few small misc changes have been done: stageLogic (new script) has been added to well.. control the stages. (Stage 5, 7 and 9.) Shop UI trail naming has been changed a little. Blinking activity on stage signs has been removed. Note: Video player in SD is bugged. You have to click on the devlog, then go and click on the video for it to play.
UI Revamp (W.I.P) I’ve started reworking the main UI for the game because well.. the old one is to say the least - not good. So far I’ve reworked basically everything in-game (except the tutorial, but it won’t be reworked anyway as it can only be seen one time) I’ve also experimented a bit with hover tweens (button getting larger on hover) and sound effects, which have been implemented now. Another thing I’ve experimented a bit with is viewport frames , which are now used in the shop to show golf balls and clubs/“sticks” spinning. I’d want to possibly implement a “Are you sure you want to buy (x) item for (x) amount” in the shop, but that’s not planned at the moment. Things still unfinished that I want to complete (for UIs): Setting to enable/disable dark mode Light mode UI (as at the moment it’s dark mode only) Sound changes: “song2” in the main menu has been replaced due to it being striked by Roblox (not sure why!) Sound in the tutorial UI before accepting/declining the tutorial has been changed (same issue)
In-game UI revamp is complete! *and a few miscellaneous fixes have been made The settings menu has been revamped to add the light mode setting, now featuring page 1 and 2, and a few other settings which are currently in progress of being made. In my opinion, light mode looks decent but I still prefer dark mode. A new setting that is still a bit of a work in progress, but mostly finished is a hide UI hotkey , which as the name states, hides ui (in-game only). I still need to implement that the setting saves, but overall it works just fine. It’s made to only apply a keybind if you’re playing on PC, though. Fixes: autosaveUI loading/saving icon was still spinning when not visible. Fixed by seeing if the frame is actually visible (instead of if the frame exists, small typo) Shadow button now just changes immediately instead of waiting for the server to change the variable, now it just fires the remoteEvent only to save the setting autosaveUI UIstroke clipping fixed by changing it to apply inner instead of outer Tree sway intensity has been changed to be a bit lower, otherwise it’d look unnatural. Tree pivots fixed to be on the bottom for tree sway (this was a pain) Tree pivot issues: Changing tree pivots manually always broke for some reason. It took a few hours to fix them, then when I dragged the trees down it reset them. Upon pressing undo the pivots were still reset, not like they were before. Then, I tried fixing them without dragging anything, and the next time I opened studio it reset again. I found that ctrl+l may work, but that didn’t work either. Had to end up cloning everything over again, which somehow has made the shadows more intense in the dense tree areas, even though nothing changed between the two. This was NOT fun When writing this devlog, I found out that the oak trees have decided to fly in the air, so that’s great
New camera mode for the main menu! Demo is in the video! Before remaking/overhauling the main menu UI into light/dark mode (and, to look nice, of course), I’ve decided to rework the camera as it’s a bit of a weak point in the menu. It features: Camera sway Camera switching between points 15 different points for the camera Now, this has also reminded me that the main menu needs a little bit different of a song selection, as drum and bass for a gentle camera sway obviously doesn’t work. Miscellanous changes/fixes: Flying trees fixed statsGui (naming fix soonTM) bgcolor and background transparency changed in light mode to that of the old UI.
Overhauled main menu GUI including new songs and animations! Demo is in the attached video as usual! So, I’ve spent a bit of time reworking the main menu , since the old one looked “temporary” instead of finished. In my opinion, the result seems to be pretty nice . I’ve made/added/reworked: Esentially every menu New animations when moving pages or when going in-game Added hover effects for buttons Icons for the main buttons Added fake shadows to text instead of the bad-looking UIStroke like before Added image backgrounds Replaced (most) old songs! (song 1, song 3-5) It still isn’t fully finished, as I need to implement a light mode for it, but otherwise it’s fully functional! When light mode for the main menu and (maybe) loadUI is done, the focus will likely shift back to building the arcade map. Every time I test the game I somehow find bugs on accident, whoops! Anyway, there were a “few” fixes/updates that were made during development of this overhaul: Fixed spinnyCamera (script) to not repeat points Updated generateNumber for spinnyCamera (script) to go through all the points instead of randomly pick one and look repetitive Fixed autosaveUI appearing in the main menu Fixed hideUIHotkey setting (a lot of things which I won’t describe as this post isn’t meant to be a wall of text) Fixed mainMenuButton UIScale bug by resetting UIScale on click Updated both cameraFolder(s) to be models instead of folders, with ModelStreamingMode to be set to Atomic (fixes delay or infinite yielding on slower devices) Updated mainMenuUI image background transparency to 0.5 for settingsFrame, cameraModeFrame and creditsFrame Updated hideHotkey setting textColor3 when text is “Set Keybind” and added UIPadding to the button for text not to clip Fixed soundLogic volume bug that didn’t reset audio volume when going back to the main menu, in result making the song silent Updated soundLogic to fade in song volume instead of immediately start playing it at full volume And a lot more… (these are just ones found after the overhaul)
Arcade Machines They have interactable buttons (which do nothing, except move up and down) Nothing else to say about them, really.. Changes/additions: Changed song2 (main menu) due to likely being made by AI (cover seems to be aigen) Light mode setting now also changes the main menu Changed buttonFrame in-game to have wrapper frames, in result being affected by the UIListLayout, and now they don’t clip together when using smaller screens, but they can still be animated.
Arcade map update The indoor area is close to being finished! It still, of course needs a few things to be completed (for example, the food area, filling the empty space, etcetera.) Next step is, of course, the outdoors! I assume it shouldn’t take as long to make as the interior was, but who knows Another thing the game still needs is ambiance zones. (and a new ambiance sound for the indoors, of course) I’m thinking of implementing this with just 2 parts for the indoors and outdoors, which should do the trick. Every day this project is (hopefully) coming a bit closer to being shipped, but progress will slow down a bit due to school starting. In an ideal situation this’ll likely be shipped in a week, or atleast I hope to get it sort-of-ship ready by that time.
Arcade map complete! New: the outside has now been fully finished (instead of just being a baseplate) Smaller changes/additions: the arcade map now has seats , shapes on the floor and ambiance zones. As the second map is done, I’m getting closer to (finally) shipping this project, and (hopefully) getting good enough reviews to get my goal from SD. The “Desert” map will likely be a bit shorter compared to the arcade map (or even grass map, undecided.), as I don’t have that much time anymore due to school starting.
Started work on the “Desert” map. All stages are now built! There are only 5 stages due to school taking most of my time, as usual. (and, there’s already 2 other maps in the game, so that’s that)
Desert map complete! Well.. that was way faster compared to the other maps, which makes sense due to a desert.. well, being a desert. Anyway, now that the main game is done*, I’ve also made thumbnails and an icon for the game. I still need to make a README and a proper description for the game, to ship , of course. *Will likely rework the tutorial gui a bit and the ui shown when teleporting between maps Anyway, look forward to seeing a few more updates soon, as the aforementioned updates/additions shouldn’t take a while
FINALLY shipping! (after this devlog) After likely losing a few hairs here and there (/j) after these 3 (almost 3 and 1/2) months, I deem minigolf to be done. I’m kind of suprised myself that the project took so long. I believe that this, by far is the longest project I’ve ever made. During the process, I’ve learned A LOT more about studio and luau overall, which will definetly help make better games (with better implementations). I have to admit, coming closer to the end there was a bit of burnout, but the result, in my opinion, was definetly worth it. I also want to say thank you to everyone that has supported me and this project, it means a lot :) Since the last devlog, I fixed and updated the few rough edges left in the game, GitHub repository and Stardance which are: Stardance: Making a new banner (old one didn’t even match the style of the game anymore) Adding a demo link & github repository link GitHub repository: Made a README that, in my opinion, is nice. It follows the requirements that the shipping guide/README guide Stardance mentions (controls, images, demo link, features, etc) Game: Changing the teleport screen to one that blends in during teleport Changed badges for new ones (icons) and requirements (now 1, 10 and 22 stages) Made the maze in stage 8 (grass map) harder to complete, was too easy before Changed all loading music Removed the funFacts moduleScript (not needed anymore) Stage 9 sign fixed to show status for Arcade_9 instead of Arcade_3 Updated desertMap particles to be thinner Changed loadUI to have fake shadow text instead of a thick UIStroke
After a few prototypes, (a lot) I’ve decided to make another map, which a factory/warehouse type of map. So far, I’ve made these props: Conveyor Structual beam Light Unloading zones At the moment, I’m not really sure how I’ll make the stages in the map, but I have an idea of making them more interactive (somewhat similar to the arcade map.) One small mention, the map will likely be in beta or not fully finished (when or if I ship again), as Stardance is likely going to end soon.
Finished the first room in the new Factory map! What lighting style do you think is better? Realistic or soft? (shadowmap) Realistic is img 1-2, soft is 3-4 At the moment, there won’t be any minigolf courses, as I’d rather finish the building first. Also, I had a few new ideas for the game that may make it a bit more “immersive” to say the least.. Will experiment with them and post something in the future if it works out.
Ships:
I’ve made a minigolf game in Roblox studio, featuring 3 maps and 22 stages in total, with cosmetics that can be bought for your golf club or golf ball, and some nice QoL features like a music menu, or a hide UI hotkey In my opinion, the main challenging thing was building all the maps. I’m not a great map builder, so making even one map or all stages took a lot of time, plus taking on the task of making 3 maps for the first release was, admittedly, a not-so-thought-through idea. Of course, this doesn’t mean that there was just 1 challenge, this was just the main one for me. Please note: due to the Roblox guideline changes, you must have an account that is 16+ Facial Age Estimation or ID verified to play the game. This can only be changed if the game reaches 250 “active” players. There are alternatives, which is either setting up the game yourself in Roblox Studio (takes some time), or just by watching the small feature demo. These restrictions/alternatives are mentioned in the README. (written per default questions)...

Added a hover effect on each section card — when you move your mouse over a box, it lifts up slightly with a smoother, deeper shadow, then settles back down when you move away. Used CSS transition and transform: translateY() to make the movement smooth instead of instant. Also fixed my section widths so all three cards line up evenly instead of shrinking to fit their own content. as you can see the second box has lil bit shadow in background

Built a simple personal website with 3 sections (About Me, Skills, Contact). Wrote all the HTML and CSS myself, learning what each property does as I went — a warm apricot color scheme, card-style sections with soft shadows, and a hover lift effect on each card. The hardest part was getting section widths to line up evenly instead of shrinking to fit content. Proud that this is genuinely hand-typed, not AI-generated. To test: just open the live link and hover over the cards....

A Rabbit and Steel themed WebOS? You should steel yourself NOW! Rabbit and Steel has been one of my favorite games to play, especially with friends. So I thought, if I were to make a WebOS for Stardance, I wouldn’t try to make one that would be useful in every single sector possible, but something that I would just have fun with. So I landed with a Rabbit and Steel themed idea. Right now, all I’ve made is the landing window, topbar, and a background, loosely based on the white border and dark transparent background used in the Rabbit and Steel UI. Obviously, the next course of action is following through on the guide, but then I will try to add more Rabbit and Steel themed features later. Anyways, you should play Rabbit and Steel.
Devlog #2 I did some polishing and made a new app. I decided not to make a notes app as the guide directs, because I felt it to be unfitting. So, I instead made an embedded wiki (although I hate Fandom, Miraheze will not load).
Devlog #3 Added a settings page, albeit very barebones at the moment. This allows you to change the backgrounds; matching with game area backgrounds in Rabbit and Steel. There are two settings for window blur and drop shadow. I also spent (a lot of) time trying to add transitions but I honestly still have no clue how to use them properly. I’ll add more backgrounds to select later, but I want to make some other app.
Devlog #4 Added a music player. This music player just uses the Spotify preview embed of a playlist containing the full Rabbit and Steel OST, which I thought was preferable than importing all the sound files. It took me some time to figure out how to make the image animated, as it was a spritesheet taken directly from the game, but I think it adds a lot more to the music player. In future apps, I definitely want to add more animated assets. I have also expanded the settings page to include all backgrounds in Rabbit and Steel, and I have utilized local storage to save the settings and the background for future visits.
Devlog #5 Added a timer app. This took a bit of time to figure out in terms of functionality. But I was far more frustrated with trying to position Twili (the crow) and the rings in the center. Like the music player rabbits, this is animated as well, and the rings rotate. I also added sound effects from Rabbit and Steel for the timer being started and when it goes off, since what good does a timer do if it doesn’t notify you audibly?
Devlog #6 Well, now I move onto WebOS 2. I made the windows resizable! It took way too long to figure out why scrolling content wasn’t working, since I wanted it to be able to scroll if a window was really small. But, that was really only one of the problems. After figuring that out, I still needed to readjust the apps and the other content, such as the music room animation or the timer crow. The best option I could think of? Don’t even deal with it (for now). So for the time being, the animations are gone. I also made the app icons animated with basic CSS animations, and I think it just adds a nice touch to it.
Devlog #7 I made a simple start-up screen, but I spent an hour fighting image scaling and general dimension quirks until I (mostly) figured it out. I used a simple fade-in from black paired with a fading blur effect to try and recreate the intro to Rabbit and Steel, along with using a cut version of the intro OST. (except I forgot browsers block autoplaying audio)
Ships:
I created a Rabbit and Steel themed WebOS, following the WebOS-1 tutorial to begin with it. This WebOS features a timer, a music player, an embedded Fandom Wiki link, and settings the OS remembers. Making this with genuinely almost no prior HTML, CSS, and JS experience took some time, but I got the hang of it, even if I feel like some of this is done incredibly inefficiently or could be done better. If anything, the prospect of refactoring later for future expansion is what scares me. In the end, I am still happy with how it turned out, especially with adding some animated images....

added some more features and a more simple and easy to use look to the browser with new shortcuts to google youtube and latest news section with a new music player and a sign in button
finally completed the project by adding some news and editing the background which changes with light mode and dark mode and now it has all basic functions of a browser

hello! trout again. i’m gonna try to get this to #1 haskell engine, but it’s been such a pain… after summer of making I did some more work on this, but hit a wall where all my changes either did nothing or gained like 10elo (which is not enough for the hundreds i need).

(here’s the commented out old search)
i’ve reentered the nightmare when i last left off this project in ~september, I basically hit a wall with optimizations. I had a crapload of pruning and whatnot, but the elo of the engine didn’t really reflect it. I then did a search rewrite but got stuck on RFP (reverse futility pruning), which is supposed to gain a lot of strength but did basically nothing for me. brief (??) aside: reverse futility pruning, in simple terms, checks if the static evaluation (evaluation without searching moves) is above beta (if a move scores above beta, it’s “too good,” and the opponent won’t allow that position to happen in the first place) by some margin. if it is, it’ll return without searching any moves, because it’s not likely that the player can lose that much material/positional advantage in whatever depth is left to search. anyway, i’m still stuck on this.

ive nuked it…. i kept fighting rfp and talking with other people about this. apparently, rfp is one of the easiest gainers (something that gains elo/strength), and usually gains a lot, but again, nothing. i ran an overnight test of like 5000 games and the rfp version manages to LOSE 8 elo, where other people have gained 80. i’m gonna try to restart search again, but basically fully. i don’t know if this will actually do anything, but i don’t see many other choices…
I finally got RFP to gain! but it might not be as good as it seems… ive been struggling to get rfp, a pretty basic improvement, to actually do anything, and redid everything search step-by-step to make sure i didn’t do anything wrong. so far, i’ve added back SEE move ordering, butterfly heuristic, PVS, transposition table move ordering, and RFP. however, i don’t think this actually fixes my problem; the code is largely the same aside from some parameter changes, so my theory is that rfp is only working now because i added everything back in a different order, and now i might struggle with adding back different features that aren’t gaining anymore. i’m currently testing null move pruning (based on the null move observation: doing something is basically always better than doing nothing), and it’s not doing as much as it used to… disturbing
6.5 hours? oh man i was right, nmp only gained like 30 elo, gained much much more before. i tried to hunt down anything weird but i had to leave it at that. i also implemented pruning in quiescence search, so the engine only searches moves that have a positive static exchange evaluation (essentially, the result of all trades on a particular square). i also accidentally found out my engine was doing fail-hard on beta cutoffs instead of fail-soft! in a fail-soft framework, the search is allowed to return outside of the bounds set by the alpha and beta parameters (it’s hard to explain succinctly here and i don’t want to keep doing it, search up alpha-beta search if you’re interested). thus, alpha and beta are soft bounds. this means each search returns more information about the move score. i successfully did fail-soft on the alpha (lower bound) side, but not on the beta side due to what i can only assume is a coding mistake. the problem is, when switching to fail-soft on beta, the engine lost like 30 elo! i bisected the change to the LMR (late move reductions) patch, but still have no idea why LMR doesn’t play nice with fail-soft beta. i’m kinda at the end of my rope here, i might just have to eat the elo loss…
oh no, 8 hours i need to devlog more holy moly from last devlog, i kinda found a solution to the fail-soft problem? Most engine’s LMR implementations will re-search twice if the previous search went over alpha (lower bound). The first search has reduced depth AND a null-window around alpha (search window of 1 centipawn; searches faster, but can only tell the direction of the true search result); if this is over alpha, it’ll re-search with full depth; if this is again over alpha, it’ll re-search with full depth and full bounds.

the engine is finally in the strongest state it’s ever been! (i think) for those who have not been obsessively following this project, the search part of the engine has gone through two rewrites now. i kept hitting walls where i really shouldn’t have; improvements that should have been huge gains did a lot less than expected. i did the rewrites in an attempt to find a potential bug that would kill future attempts at improvements, but i never really found anything significant. i never really got the engine to it’s pre-rewrites strength until now. read it and weep (~17 elo gain) -------------------------------------------------- Results of trout-exe-max vs trout-exe-asp-tweak (8+0.08, NULL, 16.000000MB, UHO_Lichess_4852_v1.epd): Elo: -16.96 +/- 14.18, nElo: -22.54 +/- 18.80 LOS: 0.94 %, DrawRatio: 33.99 %, PairsRatio: 0.82 Games: 1312, Wins: 380, Losses: 444, Draws: 488, Points: 624.0 (47.56 %) Ptnml(0-2): [63, 175, 223, 153, 42], WL/DD Ratio: 1.79 LLR: -2.98 (-101.3%) (-2.94, 2.94) [0.00, 10.00] -------------------------------------------------- it’s still not super great because elo improvements are coming slooowww and we’re still only 17 elo up with many more features than before. it’s still nice, though. implemented since last devlog: “improving” heuristic (13 elo): a position is said to be “improving” if the static evaluation now is higher than the one from a move ago. we can use this to tweak some parameters in the search, like when to cut off for LMP, which is what i did. need more testing for the other features. lmr limit (16 elo): my LMR implementation was slightly bugged and would reduce too many moves; normally the first couple are spared, but i had every move except the first reduced. negative captures below quiet moves (13 elo): for some reason, i had captures that were deemed negative by SEE (bad captures, basically - trading a queen for a pawn would be one) sorted above all quiet moves. i moved them to the bottom of move sorting. redo aspiration windows (36 elo): i redid the implementation for aspiration windows slightly. it should be smarter about bounds now. that makes around 100 elo for aspiration windows cumulatively now, which is kinda crazy here’s a picture of htop when i was running the engines against each othe for elo testing. i thought it was kinda funny
a lot of changes in this batch, but not all of them were for strength. here’s a quick runthrough of the elo-affecting changes: add improving heuristic to rfp (prune more nodes while improving) add staticEval >= beta guard to nmp (restrict the usage of null move pruning to moves that already seem good from static eval) futility pruning (very similar to reverse futility pruning - removes quiet moves when static eval is pretty far below alpha) tempo bonus (side to move gets a bonus to eval for having tempo) add quiescence search results to transposition table (i had this in the old version but i guess i forgot to port it over until now) soft time bounds in search (instead of searching for as long as possible and nuking the search thread mid-search, stop iterative deepening if it looks like the next node will take too long) to fix this, i moved the timing-out logic inside the search function, which is what most engines do.

ST is escapable, so it’s more pure, so this was kinda a bummer to do, but i didn’t see any way to get around this. here’s a graph i made while i was looking at aspiration windows more. it shows the average centipawn change between successive depths of search. the current aspiration window implementation assumes that depth and avg cp change is inversely related, but it doesn’t look like this is true. (what is the hump doing??) I tried a couple of aspiration window implementations that don’t make this assumption but didn’t get anything huge. I’ll probably replace it at some point.
i’m now within 100 elo of my target, but it’s still not looking great. it seems i have hit another wall. there’s this copypasta around chess programming circles with a rough order of search features to implement, and i’ve tried 3 in a row, none doing much. since last time, i’ve just added two things that have gained elo: history decay tweak (10 elo): after searching a position, decay history by 50% instead of 80%, helps retain memory from previous searches check extensions (23 elo): extend a search by 1 more move if in check. it’s very simple. i’ve since tried IIR (internal iterative reductions), SEE pruning in PVS (more moveloop pruning), and continuation history (like the history heuristic, but More™️). only continuation history has kinda done something, but only when comparing against a version that’s just as slow; when comparing against the original, it’s much closer because for some reason continuation history slows down the search by almost 10% (??????). The main slow-down-er seems to be indexing the continuation history array, which is absolutely baffling to me. i’ve even tried to start reading the GHC Core again, until i remembered why it was so painful last time.
big gap! some stuff came up and i don’t fully remember what i’ve done since the last devlog. git log tells me i did some minor logic fixes and added SEE pruning in pvs (32 elo), which prunes nodes based on their static exchange evaluation. i do remember that the current version of the engine can beat barbarossa at LTC now. STC it still loses (i.e. my engine scales better… glass half full), but I am now working on eval tuning to hopefully bump the elo up some more. i am now working on this through ssh. negative: lag. positive: there is almost nothing running on my computer aside from the language server. should make testing easier and more predictable
i’ve been doing some tuner work, it’s not great the old tuner was pretty bad. very janky, repeated code, very hard to read, and sloooowwww…. i optimized it by precomputing the factors for each position so it’s just a bunch of multiplications to get the score. upside: order of magnitude speed improvement. downside: 20+ gb memory…. other problem is that the new tuner’s results are not great. they aren’t horribly bad like some other tests, but the gains aren’t as big as i was expecting. this might be a data quality issue? i might write proper datagen code at some point instead of just relying on the output of SPRT tests. I did get a nice 7 elo from removing floating point ops in eval, so that’s nice i guess. i can smell the goal already. Soon (i would attach a picture of the 20gb but i’m kinda running a sprt right now… maybe next time)
it is done….. i think trout is the strongest haskell engine now (i made the passed pawn bonus tunable per-rank, which added around 20 elo. re-tested some other search stuff but they all kinda sucked) i think i’m going to work on polishing the frontend now, tag a 2.0 release soon.
2.0 release has been tagged! i set up a dockerfile to make static linux binaries and created a windows github action to make the windows binaries. I also finished the test against the last version of the engine:
managed to update the website to the new version. It was much easier than I expected, considering the amount of changes I’ve made. new version is better (besides just being stronger) in that I factored the iterative deepening code out, which means the website can have sensible time settings now instead of the stupid “max time per depth” thing it had before. I also implemented IIR (internal iterative reductions). I’ve tried it like 10 times before, but this specific version worked for some reason. +28 elo! engine is now safely better than barbarossa.
I did some more frontend work! i made the chessground rank/file responsive: for some reason, the default ones are positioned by pixel offsets and break pretty quickly on smaller screens. some light css max fixes this recolored everything: stock chessground theme is kinda lame made the time slider exponential: I wanted to give a larger time range (previous is 100ms-1000ms), but everything past 1s on the high end makes it really unwieldy to set the time on the low end, where people usually play. i made it exponential, i can expand the top end (3000ms now) without the slider feeling weird. it’s easier to show than explain
Ships:
welcome to trout v2! the goal of this period was to upgrade trout v1 to finally become the strongest chess engine written in haskell (it’s a cool title, ok). i believe it is done, and trout now beats the previous #1, barbarossa. writing a chess engine in haskell is hard and annoying and probably a not good use of my time, but i am stubborn and not very bright so here we are. writing a chess engine is also very annoying in general, involving thousands of hours of cpu time to test changes. everyone say thank you to my poor i7 10700k together with the +300elo (!!!) strength improvement over v1, i also corrected the engine’s time management (no more timing out in chess GUIs) and cleaned up the web interface. to play the engine, you have three options: the demo link: this has the web interface for trout. it’s the original engine compiled down to WASM with a nice ui on top. lichess bot: you can find the lichess bot link at the bottom of the demo website, @TroutBot . it’s running on an oracle free tier server and can only play two games simultaneously; if challenging it hangs, it’s probably playing 2 already. locally: if you want troutbot at peak performance, you can download a chess GUI like En Croissant or Arena, and configure the trout binary (on github releases) in the GUI. trout speaks the standard UCI protocol....

a simple playable blackjack game using html, css and javascript. initial styling done!!
i just added the working algorithm of a blackjack game. using objects to display the player name and his credits, rendering random numbers that indicate the cards, css buttons to let you start the game or draw a new card and the logic where it tells u if you have gotten blackjack or not.
enhanced the game by adding images for cards and improved style using ai.

After working on my html structure i decided to move onto the css styling and somehow that also went fine until i previewed the website using the live server and opened it in chrome to preview it and somehow i didn’t like the layout i created the centered words didn’t look like what i actually thought i would love and had to go back to my styling one again to correct them, through out yesterday i was stuck determining and perfecting the format to which the text were going to be in and i was finally able to put some in the centre and others in the left side. This problem also allowed me to discover more css properties that i could use when creating websites. Thank you"}]...
