both then if if there is a the same intiger in booth it will show btw peple are stored by index filter by type the type is stored as a vector of strings it does te same and loops through the filter

alow multi * this will make it so when a task is duplicated it will either set the old task to 0 or just deleate it * this is marked in the code as the higher of 2 numbers while checking rec type rec

make a task the will eather run every day or every other day this types has a second variabe called delay witch changes how often the task will show up ie dalay =1 means every day, delay =2 means every other day this is marked as 1 or 2 in the code on the on load check this will check if (due date + delay) < current date if it is it will duplicate the task to due date + delay on mark off for this task will just duplicate teh task to due date + delay on compleate this is used for task that just need to be done betwenn compleations this is marked as 3 in the code becouse it canot have multibles this also have a number called delay this is skiped by the on load check on mark off this task will just duplicate it self to current date + delay on week day this is for tasks that need to be compleated on specifice week days this task has a number that is between 0-127 insted of a delay because it can be converted in to a 7 digit binary string that means reapeate on dayes with 1 and not on 0 this is marked as 4 or 5 on load it will task the due date then search for the next valid date and then will check if the date is before the current date if it is before it will duplicate its

ahhhhhh i did like ui things i am going insane
tons of styleing updates i have spent the past 6 hurs strait styling and validating inputs however it is finally done i just need to do the git hub things and add compatability how ever thats tomarow s problem
i finished all the git action things and all of the last minute changes ie small bug fixes i am now reddy to ship
windows works now i had like 20 commits before all of this
Ships:
i have used a lot of different lists apps but all of them are so coprate and suck so i made my own i have never used sql before so it was a learning experience i also have never used any time library before but this was fun there is a lot of features i want able to add becouse of time and scope reasons so the code is built in a way that it can updated really easly...

I made git archaeologist, a python CLI app that analyzes Git repository history, including commits, contributors, activity, and inactivity gaps the most challenging part is working with git python library as i have never used it once, packaging it as a proper CLI was also challenging. im proud that i turned an idea into a fully working and functional, installable tool even with JSON outputs, documentation, and a PyPI release. people should know that it has multiple flags to use like –history, –activity, –summary, –timeline, and –json, more info on that here: https://pypi.org/project/git-archaeologist/ the problem solved: Git history contains alot of useful info, but extracting these meaningful insights manually can be very time consuming. git archaeologist automates this analysis fully and presents it in a CLI form 3 major QoL improvments: Quick repository summaries - view important data without manually inspecting git history Activity and inactivity analysis - quickly identify the most active periods and longest gaps in dev 3,. Multiple output formats - use readable CLI output or structured JSON for further processing A clear QoL improvment: Instead of running multiple git commands and manually calculating statistics, users can run just one command to get a complete flawless overview of their repository for instructions of general use please refer to github and for more specified use instructions regarding the tool please refer to PyPI, recommended to read both. HOPE YOU LIKE THE PROJECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I also packaged it into a Windows .exe so you can just download it and try it This is the github release, the website is just for documentation and research purposes, a fancy README https://github.com/Coverst-ux/space-sim/releases/tag/v1.0.0...

A Sakura-inspired productivity dashboard built with HTML, CSS & JavaScript. A single dashboard combining To-Do List, Pomodoro timer, weather, and music into one workspace to improve productivity! I started this project as a simple To-Do List, but I kept thinking of things I could add to it until it turned into a full productivity dashboard. The main idea was to have everything I would need while studying in one place: a To-Do List, Pomodoro timer, weather, and music. I also wanted it to actually look nice, because I know I personally wouldn’t want to use a boring productivity app every day. What I Built: :>To-Do List with adding, deleting and completing tasks :>Tasks saved using Local Storage :>25-minute Pomodoro timer :>Weather search using the Open-Meteo API :>Automatic location detection :>Humidity, temperature, wind and weather conditions :>Lo-fi music player :>Play/pause, volume and progress controls :>Animated Sakura petals Making It Easy to Use: I have deployed it on github pages and made sure it works smoothly so anyone can just open and use with no need of a tutorial. I made many changes to make user experience wayy better: :>You can press Enter instead of having to click the buttons every time. :>Tasks stay saved even after refreshing the page. :>The To-Do List scrolls instead of making the whole dashboard keep getting bigger. :>Weather can either be searched manually or found automatically using your location. :>The important information is visible without having to open different pages. :>I kept the layout compact so the whole project can be demonstrated on one screen. The Theme!! The Sakura theme my favourite part of the design. It is the entire reason I made this in the first place. I always imagined an app like this and I will use this theme in the future as well. The falling petals and the tree and the seemingly morning sky looks very nice to me I hope everyone else likes it as well!!!

Then I added song progress control and refined the UI of the music player. Then I remade it 5 more times until what we have here. Still not satisfied. I did the. background again to make it look like the sky a little bit. Plain pink looked bad. I am going to make it again. Then started my nightmare. I tried to make my three apps into a dashboard so I created a new div and made it into a grid and then tried to fit all three inside the grid and make it look like it does now. Firstly I had to learn all about how this works and then I had to try it for the first time. The pomodoro and weather kept breaking. All their contents kept spilling out. No matter what I did it was not working. I could not understand what the error was so I wrote new rules at the bottom of the css and due to all that My css is now a 1000 lines long. I am afraid to clean it up because I don’t want it to break. There were so many problems with creating the dashboard. The background was moving when scrolling. The credits are now inside the music player for some reason. When adding the location detector I broke the code and spent 2 hours figuring out what the problem was only for it to be wrong linking of html id of a div.

Starting development on a to-do app. I believe it’s a good project for a beginner like me. For now I have added just added container, input box, add task button and the task list in the HTML. I have also done the basic CSS styling so it currently looks like the image below. After that I have added the basic function of a todo list in javascript. The button adds the text from the input text box to the test list which exists below. That is all I have done for now. I am not using any tutorials this time I am using the knowledge from the previous project I built. I plan on adding a lot of features to this project. I plan to add pomodoro. Background music. Weather. And a calendar. Let’s see how many I actually am able to add by the end.
Hello everyone! I am done with the to-do list now. It now functions properly. You can add tasks, delete tasks. complete tasks. The javascript for it was very easy to do once I looked back at my previous project but the CSS destroyed me. I have spent so many hours on it. It is so difficult to design it because I don’t have a tutorial to copy the design from. Also damn is everything so difficult. I spend two hours trying everything to figure out how to add different properties to different things which were essentially in the same list because I had appended them from Javascript. After figuring that out. I got into trouble with the delete button.

Finally added the pomodoro. It was more complicated than I thought it would be. I had to learn a lot of how JavaScript processes math. I had to find help to do it because I was unable to make the timer run properly. Sleep deprivation didn’t help as well.

Final Devlog!! I am finally done with this one! I have polished UI as much as I could. The CSS is a nightmare. I tried to change the entire UI but it broke the entire thing and I kept adding new attributes at the bottom instead to redoing the already existing ones so it became so messed up that I could not tell what was working and what was not. So I just kept adding until everything just worked out and it somehow works and I am not going to touch it. I also tried to make audio play instantly as site opens but failed.

I also added the scroll feature to the to do list so whenever too many tasks are added it will just become scrollable. And I removed the scroll bar because it looks bad. With this it is officially over. This project was way out of my league as a beginner. Thanks for reading!!!!!
Back to this after long! I have added a few features to the to-do list. Added task priorities which can be selected when adding the tasks and can also be edited directly on the task. Also added task filtering for filtering based on task completion and priority. Added similar css to match my theme as everyone loved the theme when i shipped. I plan to add more songs and also add more features to the pomodoro and weather app and then ship the update!

(the docs are very simple rn, but I encourage you to actually read some of the source code and modify it to suit your needs if you feel you need a special feature out of it or just want more understanding to how it works) I just gotta make the README actually READable, Make a demo video, and clean up the documentation a little more and then profit!
More API Docs and functions! I improved the API docs and also added the following functions to the tile rendering system: CLEAR.tiles.clearTileSystem() clears the initialized tile system CLEAR.tiles.hideTile(tx, ty, value) sets the hidden value for the tile at tx , ty to value (a boolean) CLEAR.tiles.isHidden(tx, ty) returns the hidden value for the tile at tx , ty as a boolean CLEAR.tiles.removeTile(tx, ty) removes the tile at tx , ty from the tile system I also added a simple check to all the CLEAR.tiles functions to make sure the tilesystem is initialized before they run to prevent errors.

CLEAR-ENGINE is a easy-to-use framework for making 3D turn-based strategy games, or at least 3D isometric-ish tile-based games. I originally made this because I wanted to make a videogame that was a cross between tactical breach wizards and ready or not, but I realized it was way out of scope for a small project and so I decided to make this awesome...

i have started the development with a html canvas .The canvas will house all the necessary buttons , sprites and the scoring system
i have started with the script.js coding . i will have a button controlled directly with the keyboard (ASWD keys) . The container will embed the snake and the fruit sprite dircetly in the canvas
i hv completed the main canvas game .The snake expands itself when it feeds on the fruit. the snake can be controlled using AWSD keys in the keyboard
I have revamped the styles for my game and also added some in game twists. i made the snake too hard to control using the keys and instead of moving in a straight path ,now the snake will take some unidentfied turns making it harder for the player to control

Features Create music with familiar track-based UI Two track types: Note Track & Audio Track Node graph for every track KASL language with syntax similar to Swift The node graph allows you to combine multiple KASL programs to perform much more complex processing. What Is a Node Graph? Kadent uses node graph for track processing. A Node is a processing unit that calculates the output. In node graph, an output of one node can be connected to an input of another node. This allows you to connect multiple inputs and outputs freely to other nodes to create sound. Then, why did I adopt node graph? KASL programs can have multiple inputs and outputs, and their types may also vary. So placing them in order does not work because the DAW cannot know which output is connected to the specific input. That’s why Kadent uses node graph. Characteristics of KASL Utilizes Cranelift as a backend for quicker JIT compilation Specialized type of variables such as input , output and state Supports fixed-length arrays and structs Fixed-count loop syntax for predictable execution time Module system influenced by Python Custom infix/prefix/postfix operators (even normal arithmetic operators are defined and provided by std ) KASL Sample Program audio module is built-in module provided by Kadent. Note that these programs below won’t work outside the DAW. Gain Node import audio import std input in = audio.zero_sample() input gain = 0.0 output out = audio.zero_sample() func main() { out = in * [gain; audio.max_channels] } Mix Node import std import std/math/float as f import audio input input_1 = audio.zero_sample() input input_2 = audio.zero_sample() input factor = 0.0 output out = audio.zero_sample() func main() { let clamped_factor = f.clamp(factor, 0.0, 1.0) let multiplied_input_1: audio.Sample = input_1 * [clamped_factor; audio.max_channels] let multiplied_input_2: audio.Sample = input_2 * [1.0 - clamped_factor; audio.max_channels] out = multiplied_input_1 + multiplied_input_2 } Sawtooth Wave Synthesizer import audio as a import std import std/math/float as f input notes = a.EventSlot() input pitch = 1.0 output out = a.zero_sample() state allocator = a.Allocator() let base_freq = 440.0 let volume = 0.1 func main() { allocator.update(notes) var i = 0 loop a.max_voices { let voice = allocator.voices[i] let freq = pitch * base_freq * f.pow(2.0, (voice.pitch - 69.0) / 12.0) if voice.is_active { let t = voice.age let sample = saw(freq: freq, time: t) out = out + [sample * volume; a.max_channels] } i = i + 1 } } func saw(freq f = 440.0, time t: Float) -> Float { return 2.0 * (t * f) % 1.0 - 1.0 } Installation Go to the Releases page of my GitHub repository to download the latest precompiled binary, or compile the binary yourself.

Devlogs:
I am working on a WASM backend for my KASL language!
Implemented multithread track processing for the audio engine using Rayon ! I used to think implementing multithreading would be a nightmare, but I utilized Rayon which was actually very intuitive and easy to use. The screenshot shows the exact code where the tracks are being processed in parallel.
Kadent — A DAW with custom language to create synths and effects Refactored project strucure As my codebase became bigger, it started to be a bit complicated, so I’ve refactored the codebase. New folder structure is consist of four directories in src/ directory: commands , core , storage , and ui . commands directory contains the audio engine communication logic. It has some functions like add_note that adds a new note to the specified track and sends the updated project to the audio thread. core directory contains KASLNode implementation and some metadata. KASLNode is a specific node that can literally execute KASL programs. Metadata is a data that are not necessarily tied to audio engine. It includes track colors, track names, region names, etc. storage directory contains some implementation for storing and loading files. It has a logic to save and load the Kadent project file. ui directory contains the UI implementation. Inside the ui directory, there are components , theme , and workspaces directories. components directory has some common UI parts used in various parts of the DAW. theme defines colors and size used in the UI. workspaces contains the UI implementation for the editor and the splash screen. Splash screen I’m currently implementing a splash screen for Kadent. It used to have just two buttons to create or open a project. I’ve just finished implementing “Recent Projects” list. (shown on the right side)
Implemented splash screen I’ve finally finished implementing the splash screen for Kadent. On the left side, there are two buttons for creating or opening a project. The right panel shows the recent projects. Challenge The biggest challenge in implementing the splash screen was to layout UI components. It was quite hard to center the logo and the buttons. I spent around 1hrs dealing with that problem. Here’s how I solved it: const BUTTON_WIDTH : f32 = 300.0 ; const BUTTON_HEIGHT : f32 = 42.0 ; const CONTENT_HEIGHT : f32 = 60.0 + 12.0 + 16.0 + 24.0 + 12.0 + BUTTON_HEIGHT * 2.0 ; impl SplashUi { pub ( super ) fn splash_controls ( & mut self , ui : & mut egui :: Ui ) -> Option < EditorTransition > { ui .vertical_centered (| ui | { // Add space to vertically center the UI parts ui .add_space ( full_height / 2.0 - CONTENT_HEIGHT / 2.0 ); // UI Components }) .inner } } Since centering both horizontally and vertically while calculating the height of the inner content is painful, I eventually hardcoded the height of the UI components in order to center the UI vertically. Logo I’ve also designed a logo for Kadent in the meantime. I tweaked the font called “Inter”, which is available on Google Fonts, for the logo.
Project creation dialog I’ve implemented new project creation dialog. You can specify the name of the project and select the folder using a picker from the system.
KASL module system improvement So far, KASL compiler didn’t allow us to import external programs with the same name, because the name of the namespace conflicts. Today I have added new alias feature, which can be used like this: import foo as bar With this syntax, you can import a program named foo.kasl and refer to it with bar . This can also improve readability when importing a file with a long name! Streamline compilation I wanted to try compiling Kadent to application that can be installed using an installer, instead of a simple executable binary. I found Taskfile, which is a build tool similar to make but uses a yaml file to define workflows. I found it very useful so I adopted it and it worked very well! Currently I only have workflow for macOS compilation but I want to add Windows and Linux support soon!
Replacing audio stream when switching devices I’ve implemented a logic in the audio engine, that allows the Kadent DAW to switch the output device. It was challenging because Mixer and MPSC consumers cannot be cloned. Finally I used Arc and Mutex in order to share the context with multiple threads. let callback_ctx = Arc::new(Mutex::new(OutputCallbackContext { mixer, command_cons, midi_cons, vu_prod, pending_project: pending_arc, })); I used try_lock instead of normal lock , which may block the thread, as you can see in the screenshot.
Selectable audio output I’ve added a feature to select audio output! It may seem simple but it actually needed refactoring the audio engine and it took a lot of time.
Nested dropdown menu for device selection I’ve improved a device selection feature by nesting the menu. Thanks to this, users can click a single headphones button to change the MIDI ports and output devices. Also I added some icons for these.
Improved menu design I’ve improved the design of the menu by adjusting the button style. It took quite a long time because of egui’s a little bit confusing styling API. Refactor and optimize the audio engine I’ve refactored the audio engine by using integer ticks to manage time instead of f32 beats. By using integer ticks, it can be calculated even faster and more accurately.
Added Status Bar I’ve added a new status bar, which shows some informations such as sample rate, buffer size and the selected content, at the bottom of the window. Fixed Node Graph Rendering Bug The node graph used to be rendered on the front of the header, but I finally fixed this by using Panel to limit the area where painter can draw the graph.
Refactored the audio engine I’ve streamlined the note processing logic in the audio engine. So far, the audio engine handled sequenced notes (notes that you can see in the editor) and the realtime MIDI notes that you can play using some MIDI controllers differently. It also lacked maintainability. That’s why I’ve completely rebuilt the logic to unify the process. It also contributed to reduce the amount of code, and I’m happy with that.
Ability to adjust project range I’ve implemented a feature that the user can adjust the project’s export range just by dragging the handle in the ruler. Also the actual number is shown in the status bar while the handle is being dragged so the user can know the exact beat where is going to be exported.
Waveform Rendering & Scroll Bar This time, I’ve mainly implemented two features: waveform rendering and timeline scroll bar. Waveform I’ve added a waveform rendering logic to the timeline. I handled it by generating peak value data to render it quicker than calculating the peak value while rendering. After all, it looks pretty nice and scales perfectly when zooming with my trackpad. Timeline Scroll Bar Another feature I’ve added is a timeline scroll bar. It may not look appealing, but its calculation was quite hard actually. I had to calculate the ratio of the visible area and the entire timeline to get the width of the scroll bar. I think it is lot better than egui’s builtin scroll bar, so I’m quite satisfied with the outcome!
On-demamd resampling for audio tracks Audio regions require resampling because the sample rate of the source data may differ from the required sample rate. So far, the audio engine for Kadent has been resampling the entire audio data before playback or exporting. However, resampling audio data in advance takes a lot of CPU and increases the time it takes to prepare for playback. This time I made it resample the audio data on demand during playback. This makes audio thread not to store the massive resampled audio data. *sample rate: a value that indicates how many samples are in a single second *sample: a value that represents the sound wave’s loudness at a specific moment in time
Add seconds support for region placement I’ve added TimePosition and TimeBounds to store the position of the region. They have two modes: one stores the position in Ticks, and another one stores it in seconds. Ticks and seconds can be calculated from each other using TempoMap.
Added ruler to piano roll I’ve added the ruler to the piano roll. This will make note placement easier and more intuitive than before. Also I refactored the codebase a little bit, but honestly I thought the previous implementation would be better so I may be putting it back soon.
Refactored codebase It looks exactly the same as the previous devlog, but I refactored the codebase, primarily the EditorUiState. I separated many members of EditorUiState to multiple small structs for better readability
Automation Automation is here. I’ve implemented an automation node, which is associated with an automation track that you can add keyframes to value that changes over time. You can even connect automation nodes to KASL Node to use the value for calculation!
Curve type selection I’ve implemented a selection dropdown for three curve types: linear, step, and smooth. Next thing to do is to add a text field to adjust the curve tension
sode I’ve created a simple binary serialization crate called “sode” for Kadent. This guarantees that the output binary won’t change even if the struct is modified so I thought it would be better than serde or that sort of serialization library. impl Encode for Note { fn encode ( & self , e : & mut Encoder ) -> Result < (), EncodeError > { e .field ( 0 , & self .start ) ? ; e .field ( 1 , & self .duration ) ? ; e .field ( 2 , & self .pitch ) ? ; e .field ( 3 , & self .velocity ) ? ; Ok (()) } } impl Decode for Note { fn decode ( d : & mut ValueDecoder ) -> Result < Self , DecodeError > { let d = d .to_field_decoder () ? ; Ok ( Note :: new ( d .field ( 0 ) ? .ok_or ( DecodeError :: InvalidData ) ? , d .field ( 1 ) ? .ok_or ( DecodeError :: InvalidData ) ? , d .field ( 2 ) ? .ok_or ( DecodeError :: InvalidData ) ? , d .field ( 3 ) ? .ok_or ( DecodeError :: InvalidData ) ? , )) } }
Improved code editor I’ve implemented error highlighting in the code editor. I also added a list of errors at the bottom of the code editor, and I can jump to the position of the error by clicking the error. TextEdit in egui does not support highlighting character by character and instead it only highlighting by each sections, so red underlined part may be bigger than the actual error range, but I guess it still looks nice.
Added License Browser It’s been a while since my last devlog! During this time I’ve added an Acknowledgements view where you can look at license text and other informations of the Fonts and Crates that I’ve used. It was a bit difficult to implement because there are so many crates, but I’m satisfied with the result.
Added Documentation I saw that the reviewer tried to open the binary project file in the code editor and failed so I’ve decided to add a some sort of tutorial or a documentation. I really wanted to add an interactive tutorial so that the reviewers and the users can know how Kadent works, but I didn’t have time to do so so I’ve just added a few documentation.
How to add Note Region You can add note region by double-clicking in the timeline. To add notes to it, you need to select the region by clicking it first. Code Editor Error .kdp files are serialized project files, not a source code. You can create a new source file by clicking the src/ directory in the Code Editor. To add a source code to the note track, first open a node graph and add a KASL node to it. In the Inspector, you can specify the path to the source code (e.g. src/example.kasl). Added Some More Documentation I’ve added documentation with screenshots of each panels: Timeline Inspector Automation Node Graph Piano Roll Code Editor

Kadent Kadent is a cross-platform DAW featuring KASL, a domain-specific audio language, and node-graph processing system. Features Create music with familiar track-based UI Two track types: Note Track & Audio Track Node graph for every track KASL language with syntax similar to Swift The node graph allows you to combine multiple KASL programs to perform much more complex processing. What Is a Node Graph? Kadent uses node graph for track processing. A Node is a processing unit that calculates the output. In node graph, an output of one node can be connected to an input of another node. This allows you to connect multiple inputs and outputs freely to other nodes to create sound. Then, why did I adopt node graph? KASL programs can have multiple inputs and outputs, and their types may also vary. So placing them in order does not work because the DAW cannot know which output is connected to the specific input. That’s why Kadent uses node graph. Characteristics of KASL Utilizes Cranelift as a backend for quicker JIT compilation Specialized type of variables such as input , output and state Supports fixed-length arrays and structs Fixed-count loop syntax for predictable execution time Module system influenced by Python Custom infix/prefix/postfix operators (even normal arithmetic operators are defined and provided by std ) KASL Sample Program audio module is built-in module provided by Kadent. Note that these programs below won’t work outside the DAW. Gain Node import audio import std input in = audio.zero_sample() input gain = 0.0 output out = audio.zero_sample() func main() { out = in * [gain; audio.max_channels] } Mix Node import std import std/math/float as f import audio input input_1 = audio.zero_sample() input input_2 = audio.zero_sample() input factor = 0.0 output out = audio.zero_sample() func main() { let clamped_factor = f.clamp(factor, 0.0, 1.0) let multiplied_input_1: audio.Sample = input_1 * [clamped_factor; audio.max_channels] let multiplied_input_2: audio.Sample = input_2 * [1.0 - clamped_factor; audio.max_channels] out = multiplied_input_1 + multiplied_input_2 } Sawtooth Wave Synthesizer import audio as a import std import std/math/float as f input notes = a.EventSlot() input pitch = 1.0 output out = a.zero_sample() state allocator = a.Allocator() let base_freq = 440.0 let volume = 0.1 func main() { allocator.update(notes) var i = 0 loop a.max_voices { let voice = allocator.voices[i] let freq = pitch * base_freq * f.pow(2.0, (voice.pitch - 69.0) / 12.0) if voice.is_active { let t = voice.age let sample = saw(freq: freq, time: t) out = out + [sample * volume; a.max_channels] } i = i + 1 } } func saw(freq f = 440.0, time t: Float) -> Float { return 2.0 * (t * f) % 1.0 - 1.0 } Installation Go to the Releases page of my GitHub repository to download the latest precompiled binary, or compile the binary yourself. Detailed installation steps are described in README ....

I 3D printed some parts and assembled the frame out of extrusions. I unfortunately had to rebuild it since I forgot to put the V-wheel plate on. Time Spent: 4 Hours
I added the steppers, leadscrews, and more printed parts. It’s starting to come together and look rlly cool. Time Spent: 3 Hours
I printed and build and coded the electronics box, but had to replace my board with one of my old CNC boards since mine was tweaking out when it controlled the steppers and made everything vibrate like crazy and I wanted it to be reliable for open sauce.

The next devlog will focus on designing the calculator’s visual appearance using CSS and implementing the first interactive functionality with JavaScript.
Today I decided to change the direction of my project. Instead of continuing with the calculator idea, I switched to building a Number Guess game. I felt that this would be a better project for learning JavaScript logic, user interaction, and game mechanics while still creating a polished web application. I started the new project structure and created a fresh index.html file from scratch. The basic HTML layout has been set up, and this file will become the foundation of the game interface.

This marks a fresh start for the project, and the next steps will focus on styling the interface with CSS and implementing the core game logic in JavaScript, including random number generation, user guesses, score tracking, and feedback messages.
Today I set up the package.json file for the project. This establishes the project configuration and creates a proper foundation for future development. Having package.json in place will make it easier to manage the project structure and add any tools or dependencies needed as the Number Guess game grows
Today I completed the design phase of the Number Guess game. I focused on creating a clean and modern interface with a structured layout that is easy to use and visually appealing. The overall design is now in place, including the main game container, input section, buttons, and feedback area. With the UI completed, the next step is to implement the game logic in JavaScript, including random number generation, guess validation, score tracking, and win/lose conditions.
Devlog 5 – Completed the Utils Folder Today I completed the Utils folder for the Number Guess game. I added the core game logic that handles the main gameplay mechanics, including processing guesses, checking results, and managing the game flow. I also integrated the sound system to provide audio feedback for different game events, making the overall experience more interactive and engaging. With the utility layer completed, the project now has a stronger foundation, and I can move on to refining the gameplay, improving the user experience, and polishing the final features.
Devlog 6 – Added Victory Confetti Animation Today I created src/components/ConfettiCanvas.tsx to add a victory celebration effect to the Number Guess game. I implemented an HTML5 canvas-based confetti animation that appears when the player wins the game. The animation uses particle effects to create a more rewarding and visually exciting celebration, making the game feel more polished and interactive.
Devlog 7 – Added Header Component and Difficulty Selection Today I created and improved the Header.tsx component for the Number Guess game. I added a structured header section to improve the overall layout and user experience. I also implemented difficulty selectors, allowing players to choose different challenge levels before starting the game. This adds more variety to the gameplay and creates a better experience for different types of players. With the header and difficulty system completed, the game now has a more organized interface and a more customizable gameplay experience.
Devlog 8 – Added Difficulty Selector and Game Area Today I completed two major UI components for the Number Guess game: DifficultySelector.tsx and GameArea.tsx. The difficulty selector now includes interactive cards for Easy, Medium, Hard, and Extreme modes, giving players a clear way to choose the challenge level. I also built the main game area, which includes the guess input system, feedback banner, bisect strategy helper, and a visual history bar to track previous guesses. These additions make the gameplay more interactive, informative, and user-friendly while improving the overall experience of the game.
Devlog 9 Worked on GameArea today. Added the guess input, feedback messages, a small helper for the bisect strategy, and a visual bar history for previous guesses. The game feels way more interactive now and is starting to come together nicely.
Devlog 10 Finally finished App.tsx 😭. I honestly don’t even know why I left it half-done in the middle, but it’s finally complete now. Right now I’m working on the Win Screen, trying different layouts and animations so it actually feels satisfying when you win. Still tweaking the design, but it’s starting to look pretty clean.
I have completed my stats part that’s actually statsmodal , it took way more time than i thought..
Devlog — 12- Help Modal Progress At this pace, the whole project might actually be finished in 2–3 days
Devlog-14 finally finished
Devlog-16 BROOOO 😭 I literally had to CHANGE MY WHOLE DESIGN because my README was AI-made and now the officials thought the design was also AI inspired 💀 So yeah…ALL THAT EFFORT…GONE 😭 I’m honestly feeling like everything I worked on was wasted, but ig there’s nothing to do except start fixing it and make the design properly mine this time. pain. . 😭
Devlog-15 BROSSSS, I finally learned how to make READMEs from the Stardance resources 🔥 and updated my GitHub README with everything needed for SHIP!! ALSOOO, I removed all the AI-generated code from my project. I only used AI for formatting and variable names with Prettier, so the actual code is mine 😭🔥 WE’RE GETTING CLOSER TO SHIPPP 🚀
Devlog-17 SO humans I😭 I’VE RESTORED MY OLD DESIGN FROM GITHUB AND THANK GOD THIS FEATURE EXISTS 💀🙏After all that chaos, I finally got my original design back and I can FINALLYYYY say…MY PROJECT IS COMPLETE 🚀🔥NOW IT’S TIME TO SHIPPPPP 😭
GUYSSSS, I THOUGHT MY PROJECT WAS FINISHED BUT THEN I WAS LIKE…NAHHHH WE CAN ADD MORE So I’ve decided to add some new modes to the project like One Try Guess, Fast Guess and a few more 👀 For now, I’m working on One Try Guess…let’s see how this turns out MORE FEATURES = MORE WORK…
GUYSSSS, I THOUGHT I WAS DONE…BUT STARSHIP SAID ADD MORE FEATURES SOOOO I WENT BACK TO WORKk I’ve now added some new game modes — Normal Mode, One Shot, and No Hint — mainly to make the game more difficult and give players more ways to play 👀🔥 I’ve ALSO added an Achievements Section, where players have to complete 10 different tasks to unlock the achievements!! ANDDD for the new players, I’ve added a proper Game Rules + Guide section so they actually know what they’re supposed to do 😭At this point the project keeps getting bigger and bigger… BUT WE KEEP GOINGGGG 🚀🔥 AND Now i think i am ready to ship again GOOOOOOOOOO

The goal is simple: players choose a difficulty, try to identify the hidden number, and use the feedback provided after each guess to narrow down the possible range. Since the initial version, I expanded the game with three game modes — Normal, One Shot, and No Hint — to provide different levels of challenge. I also added an Achievements system with 10 unlockable achievements based on different in-game accomplishments, along with a dedicated Game Rules & Guide section to help new players understand the mechanics. The most challenging part was connecting the game logic, different modes, achievements, statistics, and UI while keeping the experience consistent and easy to use. I’m most proud of how the project has evolved from a simple guessing game into a more complete and polished experience....

Built a NASA picture viewer from scratch. Shows the daily space picture with title and description.i have added a random button to just get a random picture from NASA and it description from past.if you like you check any previous APODs from previous button. it was pretty great experience for me as learned so much , i knew css and html pretty good but i barely used javascript before this so it took me a while to get hands on it . i used some youtube tutorials and some ai too(just for debugging) to get help in javascript because when i finished my project i was having some issues in showing of pictures and it turned out to be just a typo error ,but anyways im still proud of this project because it looks so cool!! i spend a lot of time on styling it on css :) i hope you guys like it
for some reason stardance told that i have made more that 30% of css with AI after spending ALLAT of time on it!! so i made it bit minimalistic and after that i idk why my demo link stopped working and kept opening my readme files ,i was genuinely fed up so made a new repository and now its working fine i guess if you guys want to check out here is the link https://github.com/folks0297/Cosmic-View

I made Cosmic View, a website that uses NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day API to bring a different view of the universe to the screen. You can explore APODs by date, move between previous and next days, check out a random APOD, and view the image, title, description, and other details. it was alot of fun making it and i really enjoyed this experience but it does’nt mean it was easy. i didn’t knew much of javascript so i learned it from beginning i from tutorials, tips from friends and ai too,the most challenging part was connecting the NASA API and making sure the data was displayed correctly on the website. I ran into a few JavaScript and HTML issues, especially small ID mismatches that caused parts of the page to break. I’m most proud that I built the project myself and got all the features working together. I also like how the final design turned out because it feels like a proper space-themed website rather than just a basic API project. to test my projects: live: https://folks0297.github.io/Cosmic-View/ github: https://github.com/folks0297/Cosmic-View...

finally got something working, creating an OS using Blazor (yes, it will be painful) i spent a lot of time trying to think about how to even start, then removing default assets, doing some basic styling there is now a very basic taskbar with a working clock
was debating whether to use js interop to do window dragging, but plain JS is enough layouts turned out to be wrong for windows, so i created a simple Window base component instead window dragging now works also added a date display
genuinely forgot some of the things i’ve done, probably styling anyways, now you can open windows and close them properly! i’ll be adding a few more desktop icons and apps finally figured out the architecture i like the WindowManager has an ObservableCollection, so it’ll notify other components if a window is added or removed automatically the task manager (taskbar for losedows users) needs to be updated a second time because the window’s init method (which sets the title) only gets called the “next frame” (in Unity terms at least, idk how to say it lol) gonna need a to add minimizing windows, and a “start menu” i was also thinking of creating a simple notepad that saves content to local storage
i had a look at the guide, and decided that i don’t want to use z-index instead, i use ObservableCollection.Move to bring a window to the front window state stays intact because i specify @key changing the window order has a slight side effect: the task manager (taskbar) is also reordered; ordering by Id fixes this issue (IDs are v7 Guids which start with a timestamp) the welcome screen is now more descriptive implemented the meta menu (start menu), it’s pretty simple atm, only includes desktop programs the task manger now shows which window is focused (topmost and not minimized) added a notepad with a simple textarea element it saves data to localStorage code is horrible but does it matter? x3 deployed to GitHub Pages, hopefully this will qualify for the mission

Hello World . Today I worked on the basics of HTML and making a basic home-page . Im using this package called flask to help me use python code. This is the page I made.
I was working on creating a basic version of the app with touch buttons and linkings and I also had problems with linking the css file with the HTML file so I problem solved it took so long to link but here is v2 but still very basic. With working linking updated ui and a bit more detail. next steps would be to add hero buttons add more creative ui decisions and adding more interactions , buttons and probably even an interactive game to get to know a bit about me.
Hello World - I worked on upgrading CSS file and html files and made a better search bar using stick which makes the scroll bar follow you for easier navigation I also tried to spread info but I couldnt debugg the issue making this problem where some of the sides of the info are not in the view - * sorry - still debugging ….
Hello World ! I worked on adding this thing called glassmorphism effects I really wanted to elevate the sight so I decided to not do a css file and just od straight HTML and this was to make things a bit more simpler when adding animations and more features* I found out this thing the more time something takes the more costly it is and more difficult it is, and its all about - cost ,time , difficulty 3 principles to any good project the annoying thing is glass morphism is very difficult and I had to change a lot of my code on top of that I had to relearn some of the stuff as I am not using flask any more* btw i’m sorry ill try by tommorrow to give u guys an update of he working site. Thanks everyone for the support! ^ btw indentions are soooo annoying.
Hello World - I did More coding - on HTML I realised I messed up the liquid glass effect and my code was very fuzzeled so I had to delete it - RIP - so I then kept locked in for a straight 2 hrs trying to fix my code and am on sleep deprivation so - * if i mesed up any word or if my writing looks very rushed blame my hard rock pillow. - I did end up getting 97% of the HTML file done before I got to finally sleep so stay tuned until I update css - hopefully by tomorrow ill see some results.
Hello World , Worked on a bit of java-script to help with the websites custom cursor and scrolling abilities to add that touch, I also worked on the contact section * java script was AI heavy as I do not know the language and am still learning, originally i wanted this project to be flask but in order to get the detail the animations and the level I would like I have to use java script -
Hello World, did a lot of exploring and used ai to make a mock up of how a website would work - so using this as a learning tool i’m gonna personally try to make my version of what ai made but learning form what the ai made what i’m about to show you is ai’s but i have an idea to make a red and like really soft website - taking an inspiration from fauna robotics- ignore the emojis - I don’t know why they are there.
Hello World »>I worked on making the game part of my website and it was alot of javascript. also one my previour hours logged i also worked on my website - here it is its just the contact part also I made a game - called robotics lab to understand what the average engineering room looks like. - > i also worked on a custon cursor and like animations with the cursor to add that extra bit - also the background is animated - here is a sneak peak of the game code but - its just rectangles as place holders - ART IS SOOOO TIME CONSUMING - and i also can’t figure how to log it on this thing : ( but don’t worry i will not give up . cya :)
really editing and final touches on website ready for shipping ! - Now all thats left is to add images - but thats something I want to do overtime some of these projects are place holders for other projects . and setting up to ship this project
Ships:
I used Html and CSS to create this website. The satisfaction through making this website - I have to admit that I did use Ai to help me code this website with me copying down some of the responses but most of the work like the HTML and Java was mainly me but the CSS was very hard and It would have taken ages like 100 - 200 hours to get done. As an Aussie student it is implicably impossible for me to make this website especially while balancing school. I hate CSS - but it’s something we all have to learn I guess - most of the crazy animations were ai driven but colours, fonts and basic code was me . The website is a personal place holder for my future resumes. and job applications....

I made a basic layout with a div calculator , a h1 and an input with readonly as display. Then I made 20 buttons inside a div buttons . I used onclick=\"appendValue()\" for all number buttons so I don’t have to write many functions. I also added AC, backspace ⌫, % and Copy button at the end. Day 2 - CSS For styling I used flex to center the calculator in body, background #111827 . Calculator box is #1f2937 with 340px width and border-radius 20px. The main part is .buttons { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr); } - this made 4 columns. I gave height 60px to all buttons. For colors I used nth-child - first 2 buttons red #ef4444 for AC and backspace, every 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th yellow #fbbf24 for operators, 20th green #34d399 for Copy, and rest gray #6b7280 . The hover is just opacity 0.85. I know nth-child is messy but it worked. Day 3 - JavaScript Logic This was the main part. const display = document.getElementById(\"display\") - I got the input. appendValue(value) - just does display.value += value . Very simple. clearDisplay() - makes it empty string. backspace() - I used slice(0, -1) to remove last character. I learned this from MDN. percentage() - I did Number(display.value) / 100 . Wrapped in try catch so if error shows “Error”. calculate() - This was tricky. My buttons show ÷ and × but JS eval() needs / and _. So I did expression.replace(/÷/g, \"/\").replace(/×/g, \"_\") before eval. I know eval is not safe but for small calculator project it’s okay. Also added try catch. copyResult() - Used navigator.clipboard.writeText(display.value) and then alert “Copied!”. This only works on https but GitHub pages is https so it’s fine. Problems I faced: When I clicked ÷ it showed ÷ in display and eval was failing. Fixed with replace. Copy button was giving error in VS Code live server because clipboard needs secure context. My CSS nth-child selector was becoming long, especially the last one :not(:nth-child(1))... but I kept it.

I have builded this student home page which gives students a quick view for starting study mode playing quizes and a liquid glass floating nav bar
I implemented the progress page where you can see your digital wellbeing data and study mode time
Builded the rewards page which has amazing ui and ux by my perspective give your opinions too
Implemented the restriction page which will pop out when any restriction were denied
Ships:
I make a android app where it restricts the social media and games and when child will answer correct questions in the quiz based on it they earn focus credits which will unlock screen time for them and the most challenging part in this was making the restriction engine and I am proud of that it is fully functional and working and it will help childern making healthier digital habits and due to accessibility permission you have to turn off the play protect at installation time then turn it on and do not forget to give good and honest reviews...

But since I can’t always guarantee that the array doesn’t have gaps in it, each frame also generates a list of positions of the colors addresses (I guess in a really cursed way you could call these pointers?) so I don’t have to sample the entire inventory list for every pixel in the rendering passes and can instead read the pointers list to know what inventory index to render."}, {"post_id": 49341, "ts": "2026-08-18T03:29:17Z", "hours": 6.1069, "text": "Added spinning keys as placeable objects in the map image I modeled this key in blender and rendered out eight frames of it spinning to create this texture atlas.

Minecraft has in recent snapshots greatly improved the capabilities of its shader system, now allowing postprocessing shaders “post effects” to be applied using commands. This has wildly changed what is now possible in vanilla minecraft and I immediately was overcome with excitement about what was now possible.

I finally got some actual visual output!! After fixing many compiler errors, and then another few that kept causing the loaded data to reset, I got this output. The current system renders walls based on the pixel’s distance from a wall defined by a texture (visualized in the picture). This created a sort of fisheye distortion that I’ll try and work out later, but I’m happy with my progress for now, and would like to focus on getting player movement functional
Beginnings of player input Because shader code is run entirely on the GPU, I can’t just directly listen for keyboard input. The only thing that the shader code actually reads is the colors rendered to the screen by minecraft, so I needed to make a sort of “translation layer” that listens for player input in minecraft and outputs a color on the screen so it can be read and interpreted by the shader code. My really jank test rig As shown in the video, the color of the square updates depending on the pressed keys. The inputs are gathered using minecraft’s “predicate” system and are translated to the background color of a text display entity.

4th Devlog, Rewritten the raycasting system. Now the map is gridlocked to its texture, with each pixel representing one unit. The raycast only has to check the status of each pixel it passes through on the map image rather than sampling at a defined distance interval that could potentially pass through the corners of units. I also fixed the previous fisheye effect by multiplying the caculated ray distance by the cosine of its angle offset from the center Next I would like to work on texture mapping to the walls, but with what I plan to add in the future I think I might spend some time refactoring the way I store the program’s memory so I can fit more data in it and organize it better.
Spent a huge amount of time refactoring my entire fragment shader pipeline, splitting it into more than two render passes. Before, there was one pass to update data, and one to render the data. Now there are six: Player input -> Update Map -> Update Player -> Collect Raycast Data -> Render Map -> Update Global Data All these passes share one 512x512 persistent render target to store/load data, which gives me about one megabyte of “ram” given that each pixel stores 32 bits. This should be more than enough for what I need. Currently, I don’t even use half of it, with the largest chunk storing the 256x256 game level that can now be affected by the player. As an added bonus to this new render target storage method, I now store the coordinates of where each camera raycast hits, so I can map textures to the walls. I think I’ll work on a system to do this next.
Wall textures are now sampled from texture images using the raycast positions, I can determine the x coordinate to sample from on the texture just by modding the larger coordinate by one (making the texture repeat every unit.) The Y coordinate is based on the current calculated wall height (determined by the distance between the raycast and the player.) Next I will make textures loaded on an atlas instead of a single image so I can make multiple different types of wall.
Wall texture atlas created The shader now looks for specific rgb values in the map so it knows what part of the atlas to sample from, allowing me to choose which wall texture to render when making the game map. Next I will be working on wall collision and an item pickup system.
Map units can now be destroyed in real time by pressing the space bar. Listening for the player jump predicate and treating it like an “action” input allows me to make the map destructible. This will be used later to make doors that require keys to open. Additionally, inputs are now polled independently of one another, as shown later in the video. Each input set (movement, rotation, action) has its own text display associated with it, and now the shader samples from three points on the screen to get all the inputs at once.
Added spinning keys as placeable objects in the map image I modeled this key in blender and rendered out eight frames of it spinning to create this texture atlas. The atlas is pulled from based on the GameTime. Loading keys into memory from the map proved to be quite a challenge. When initializing the map, the shader reads the map texture for any pixels with opacity 150 and treats them as keys, loading them and their data into a few rows in memory. The data stored and updated along with them is: Their coordinates on the map, their colors, their distance offset from the player, and their rotational offset from the player. Using this data, I created a render pass after the map renderer that adds these in. Next will be a pickup system so they can be used to unlock doors. The player inventory system is probably gonna suuuuuuck to make.
I knew this would take a long time but uh….. oh. I have now created a functioning inventory pickup system, and opening doors will now check to make sure the player is holding the corresponding colored key before it opens. To do this, I had to store an array of colors of the keys in the program memory for the player’s inventory. But since I can’t always guarantee that the array doesn’t have gaps in it, each frame also generates a list of positions of the colors addresses (I guess in a really cursed way you could call these pointers?) so I don’t have to sample the entire inventory list for every pixel in the rendering passes and can instead read the pointers list to know what inventory index to render.
Added cats I have added my friend’s cat, Mumuy, into the game as an enemy which follows the player around and attacks if she gets close. This took such an incredible amount of pain and debugging with the memory buffer that I’m almost ready to call this project done. In the next devlog I’d like to polish up some things and then finally release the project.
It’s finally finished! After designing the main level and getting some friends to playtest it, I’m happy to say that this project is finally ready for release! The game can now be played by anyone with vanilla Minecraft Java Edition!!
Ships:
I created a fully functional 3d game that runs entirely through a vanilla Minecraft postprocessing effect. Anyone who owns minecraft java edition will be able to load this onto a world and play it. Player input is collected via a datapack that changes colors on the screen when keys are pressed, but besides that the entire game’s code is contained in a resource pack. It is complete with a tank-style movement system, key-door interactions, enemies, and an intuitive level loading system....
