the web part was already getting pretty complete with profiles, slots, themes and local storage so now i started working on the python side and making the whole thing actually work with the board made the main deck.py file for the local python backend connected the web app with the uno r4 wifi through the serial connection and added auto detection for the board and its COM port so i dont have to keep changing the port manually added the firmware install part using Arduino CLI so the board can be setup from the project itself added the ping pong check so the backend can make sure the correct adeck firmware is actually responding added saving of the profiles and button settings on the pc so the data stays there even after restarting connected the save button with the real TFT so changing a label or color in the web app also changes it on the physical adeck added command support so now a button on the adeck can run things on my pc and tested this with vs code, Notepad, Calculator and Paint, also i had a small problem where the apps were opening in the background instead of coming in front. had to change the windows command launching part in deck.py and test it again with different apps made adeck_control.py for controlling the backend from the terminal and added the small ADeck-Control.bat menu where i can use options like 1 start, **2 **check system, 3 install or repair, 4 firmware, 5 logs, 6 stop, 7 errors and 8 status fixed the problem where starting adeck again while it was already running was causing another backend to start and show an error changed the setup so it checks if ADeck is already healthy and reuses it instead of starting another one and added the Setup ADeck.bat and Start ADeck.bat files so setup and normal starting can be done without typing all the python commands every time added test_reliability.py and used it to check the main startup and recovery cases tested stopping and starting the backend again and also tested removing and reconnecting the board and added .gitignore so things like .venv , .build and other generated files dont get pushed to github there were quite a few small problems while connecting everything together but now the web app, python backend, pc commands and the physical adeck are all working together. the next part will be more testing and adding more things on top of this sorry for those irritating lines on the

inside the adeck ui itself and matches the rest of the design much better and also fixed a small annoying thing where clicking anywhere outside the popup was closing it even if i was typing something. now it only closes when i actually press cancel or complete the action worked more on the profile system and duplicate profile stuff. also fixed the alerts bczz before if multiple actions happened the alerts could stack on each other. now only one alert stays there and when a new one comes the old one goes away first with a small simple animation dark mode needed some work too bczz light mode was looking pretty good but some parts in dark mode were feeling kinda weird and uncomfortable. fixed the contrast in those areas and also removed a lot of unnecessary yellow accent lines. now they are only used in places where they actually need to be changed Day and Night to Light and Dark and made the theme change a little smoother instead of instantly switching like befor cleaned up the color section too. there was an extra dropdown showing the same colors again which was honestly looking useless so removed that and kept the cleaner color list. also added a custom color picker so now im not limited to only the few preset colors also changed the display label from the old short 2.4 inch TFT text to the proper 2.4-inch TFT LCD Display ILI9341 name so it matches the actual hardware

i mostly worked on fixing those small things which were making ADeck feel more like a website than an actual app replaced the normal browser popups with custom ones for creating renaming and deleting profiles. now everything opens inside the adeck ui itself and matches the rest of the design much better and also fixed a small annoying thing where clicking anywhere outside the popup was closing it even if i was typing something. now it only closes when i actually press cancel or complete the action worked more on the profile system and duplicate profile stuff. also fixed the alerts bczz before if multiple actions happened the alerts could stack on each other. now only one alert stays there and when a new one comes the old one goes away first with a small simple animation dark mode needed some work too bczz light mode was looking pretty good but some parts in dark mode were feeling kinda weird and uncomfortable. fixed the contrast in those areas and also removed a lot of unnecessary yellow accent lines. now they are only used in places where they actually need to be changed Day and Night to Light and Dark and made the theme change a little smoother instead of instantly switching like befor cleaned up the color section too. there was an extra dropdown showing the same colors again which was honestly looking useless so removed that and kept the cleaner color list. also added a custom color picker so now im not limited to only the few preset colors also changed the display label from the old short 2.4 inch TFT text to the proper 2.4-inch TFT LCD Display ILI9341 name so it matches the actual hardware properly now

cut minimise and open added and fixed the app relaunch option in settings, Now we can choose what happens when the same app is pressed again, either open another window, minimize or restore the same app, or close it I also made sure this only applies to app opening commands. Things like git commands and other normal commands still work the same way Tested all three options and the app now behaves correctly based on the selected setting
now i can install ADeck from the browser and use it more like a normal desktop app instead of opening the project files manually every time bczz i made adeck into an actual installable web app instead of having to open the html files manually every time added the web app manifest so ADeck can be installed like a normal app added the adeck app icons in different sizes including the maskable one added the service worker for the installed web app and connected the new setup with the existing adeck web interface without changing the main layout tested the installed version and checked that it opens as its own app instead of just another browser tab and also checked the existing profiles, settings and hardware preview after installing it so the old stuff still works
added automatic installed app detection to the adeck app which makes setting up app shortcuts much easier now since adeck can find installed apps from the pc and most of the setup happens automatically before this i had to find and paste exe paths manually, so i added an installed apps list to make this easier i kept installed apps separate from normal commands like git and npm so both dont get mixed together and the app list was getting pretty long, so i also added search to quickly find the app i want after getting it working i tested it with different apps and also checked normal commands to make sure both still work properly now when i select an app, its name and launch path are added to the selected key automatically
the installed app picker is now connected with the physical tft display so when an app is selected, its windows icon can be used on that specific adeck key and the icon data is now going through the web app, python backend and arduino firmware instead of being only part of the web side so the actual logo can be rendered on the display added the icon data flow from the selected app config to the backend and then to the arduino, converted the windows icons into a tft compatible format and added the firmware side code to receive and draw the icon on the correct key tested the icon rendering with different installed apps and checked that each icon stays with its selected key while normal commands like git and npm still use the normal command flow still need to polish the app part so the logos look better and text below them fits properly and the box colors and backgrounds look cleaner on the display
resized tft display app icons , themes and codecleanup made the icons on the physical tft a bit bigger so they’re easier to recognize and use at a glance. they might look a lil pixelated up close bczz of the display resolution, but the goal was to make them more usable cleaned up the code in a few places and removing unnecessary comments and organizing things that had become a bit messy while developing also added the theme selection and save ui to the web app with 4 preset themes planned for now. the idea is that whichever theme you select should also show up on the physical display. the web side is done, but the actual theme implementation is still in progress. starting with a nothing-inspired black and white theme, while the other themes are still being planned and i have also added a subtle, minimal animation on click, so it feels more responsive and gives you that little visual feedback that the click actually registered. Looks pretty good tbh
changed the key colours to custom background colours instead of separate box colours so the app icons blend in better. now the key bg automatically picks the dominant colour of the selected app icon, like orange for brave, so the colours actually match the apps added the first theme called space with a dark bg and floating stars tweaked the star animations to make them smoother and more natural, fixed stars getting stuck together and slightly increased their count cleaned up the theme preview by removing unnecessary labels and fixing the heading sizes. still got 3 more themes to build, will update them as i work on them
worked on the tft rotation feature added 4 rotation modes like monitor orientation and connected the web app controls to the physical tft fixed the layout issues at 180 and 270 degrees so the icons and labels align properly fixed the web preview so it actually rotates with the selected orientation instead of looking the same and moved the rotate button below the background colour section to keep the ui clean i was gonna work on the remaining 3 themes next but felt like this feature was more imp rn so worked on it first...

Created the project on GitHub and learned basic coding in HTML. Created an outline and added an image.
I learned how to add different colors and add different styles such as margins, background colors, text colors, text fonts, etc.
Rounded the corners of the image and played around with the fonts and colours. I had a few syntax errors with the quotation marks that I had to fix. Added more to the style tags in the headers 1 & 2 and first paragraph.
I added a double line border and rounded the corners. I also set the position of the div and added style to the div. I set the top and left positions, translated it, added padding, added a border, and changed the width.
Added another DIV for the time and added a desktop background.
I got the time DIV to update on its own because last time I had to write the time and it wouldn’t change. I also improved the spacing between the flex DIVs. I also added a blur as the background instead of a solid white background.
I transferred the JavaScript code into its own file, and encountered an error with the time again. It turned out to be because I wrote “scr” instead of “src”. After that I started writing additional code in that script.js to make the windows movable, but its not working right now. I will work on fixing that next time.
I tried making the window movable, but for some reason it is not working, I am currently in the process of debugging....

DEVLOG 2: At this point I started wiring up all of the internal and external headers and ports including An NVMe m.2 slot A Magjack ethernet port A HDMI port Two USB A 3.0 ports Another USBC port A microSD card slot And an internal 4pin fan header I still want to wire up a few things like a 3.5 mm audio jack.
DEVLOG 3: I finished wiring the audio jack (I realized later that this was the physical plug and not the port for it), rewired the fan header and did the ERC checks. Along with that, I realized that the m.2 slot was not a slot, it was actually a male header to go into a m.2 slot. So, I had to find a new footprint. There is also an issue with the GND plane.

DEVLOG 4: I FINALY figured out what was wrong with my board. There was a single wire that was connecting 5V and GND in a capacitor setup for my USB port hub. I have since fixed it and started working again on wiring things up
DEVLOG 5: I did a TON of rewiring to fix the 5V and GND plane issue. I also finished wiring the front IO to the CM5, like two USB ports and one Type-C port, along with other miscellaneous wiring.
DEVLOG 6: I accidently crashed Kicad without saving while I was adding the 3d models for the external ports, so I had to do the whole board over again. Other than that, its been smooth sailing. I added a standoff hole for a 2242 NVMe drive, I got the models for the rest of the external IO and now need to start doing ERC checks.
DEVLOG 7: I finished up the DRC and my case design, and I’m pretty proud of it. It looks cool, works great (in theory), and is small enough to print on an A1 Mini. The large red piece is the button that goes through the hole at the top. It won’t be red in the final version. The smaller red pieces are SSD standoffs that limit how far down you can secure the SSD with a screw. There are three because I don’t know exactly how tall they need to be for the SSD to sit completely flat.
DEVLOG 8: To be more cost-effective, I turned the 8-layer PCB into a 6-layer PCB. This cuts the price from like ~$100 USD to ~$50 USD.
DEVLOG 9: I updated my BOM and README as requested, and I changed the chips around to get more cost-effective ones. Also, some of my original chips were obsolete so I replaced them with newer ones....

The basics of the webOS are done! It is Chicago themed, and all the apps will be useful to someone who lives/is visiting Chicago. I actually sent more time on this project but I couldn’t figure out hackatime :( Regardless, I finished the background, top bar, and welcome screen that is draggable and able to be opened and closed. I plan to work on the first app soon, which will likely be a notes type app.
chicagOS log 2 - I have since added the actual window for the notes app, and basic functionality including adding notes and writing in them. I plan to add a save feature, and the ability to have multiple notes open at the same time. While working through the guide, it told me to make a “mind map” using paper for brainstorming. I thought about how I didn’t want to get up to grab a piece of paper, and I knew what my next app would be: a Mind Map app! now I will never have to get up again. I haven’t added any functionality to this app yet, but it should be relatively simple. (currently the app icons are placeholders from google, I promise they will be better eventually!)
chicagOS devlog #3 - Alright so I have changed a few things recently. #1 - I rethemed the whole OS, but later I might add a way to choose a theme in a setting app? idk I haven’t decided yet. // #2, I started working on the Mind Map App, but I quickly realized that its actually more complicated than I originally thought, and since I’m not that good at this I decided that I will come back to that app later. // #3 I made a calculator app, which is fully functioning and (as far as i’m aware) doesn’t have any bugs. // #4 I finished the notes app, but I might add more functionality later. // Thats it in terms of new features, my future plans include possibly some sort of settings app, finishing the Mind Map App, and I would like to add some sort of photo gallery app, which is what I plan to work on next.
chicagOS devlog #4- Not that much progress recently! Turns out working with images is very frustrating. I created the gallery app, which had its surprising challenges. I figured that the JS logic for cycling between the photos and looping back to the first image would be easy, but I was severely mistaken. I spent at least an hours trying to stop the images from taking up the whole window, repeating, stretching, somehow being mirrored, just about every issue you can imagine. All of these had very simple fixes, but I couldn’t figure out what I should put in the CSS file, and which needed to be in-line (spoiler alert- pretty much none of it). But either way, the images act like normal images now! Yay! More functionality in the notes app is what I have planned next.
chicagOS Devlog #5- Getting ready to complete the guide for WebOS 1! I cleaned up a few things with the UI, and I have decided that the Mind Map app will not be included in this first ship :( But trust, when I get smarter it will be coming back!
chicagOS Devlog 6- A lot of progress has been made! I’ve been waiting for my ship to be approved for WebOS1, which it just was! Yay! But in the last 4 days, I have made a lot of changes, so prepare yourselves. #1 - The UI has had major improvements! I went down the W3Schools rabbit hole and added a bunch of things to make the UI look cleaner, including the first animated element of the UI! #2- Paint app! - I added the paint app, and it currently has pretty basic functionality. You can draw, change colors, change brush size, erase, and clear the canvas. I plan to add a save feature soon. (The button currently doesn’t do anything.) #3- I WILL FIGURE OUT THIS MIND MAP APP! I fixed a few things, but some things still aren’t working. Currently, lines don’t get drawn past the root node, and I think it has something to do with the ID hierarchy? We will see. #4- I added a feature of the desktop header that rotates through quotes about Chicago! It has the same animated background as the welcome window. That’s it for now; hopefully I can continue to improve the UI and the paint app!
chicagOS Devlog 7- The Paint app is mostly done! I added functionality to the save and load paintings button. I also updated the UI of the toolbar. I created the UI for the browser app, which currently doesn’t have any functionality. I plan to use an iframe to display webpages and also provide some bookmarked websites.
chicagOS Devlog #8 - Browser app is completed! I used i-frame to display the browser window. The search bar takes web addresses, and if what is entered is not a valid web address, it automatically inputs it as a Google search prompt instead. I also added some bookmarked web pages, and forward and backward buttons that work by storing the web history. Next, I want to add more functionality to the notes app, including the ability to save and delete notes.
chicagOS Devlog 9- The Mind Map app is finally working! all of the nodes are draggable, and you can zoom in and out. Turns out the issue was that new nodes coordinates were being calculated from the root node instead of their parent node, so the line drawing function couldn’t find the new nodes. Also, I expanded the notes app! Before you could not save notes, but now you can! I added a side bar to display the saved notes, and also added the ability to remove saved notes. Next I plan to make some more UI improvements, maybe even a dynamic background?
chicagOS Devlog 10- Dynamic wallpaper is done! (kinda) I’ve been having issues trying to use images that have the background removed, so if anyone knows how that works, please lmk! I created a settings app to choose between the classic wallpaper (non-animated) and the dynamic wallpaper (many animated parts). The dynamic wallpaper will probably change once I can figure out the images I’m using. Next up, I am planning on turning the header into a dock! I will probably move the quotes to a widget.
chicagOS Devlog 11- The Header has been turned into a dock! I tried to reuse my existing code to open apps, but I couldn’t get it to work, so I had to end up redoing it twice. I also added some JS so that when you click on an open window it is put into focus. This is what the dynamic background is looking like so far, hopefully I can improve it more. Next I plan on adding some more apps, possibly including a terminal and a file explorer.
chicagOS #Devlog 12- Terminal app is pretty much done! Obviously, I will add new commands as the OS gets more features, but I have some basic commands done! I also added a switch to toggle the quotes visibility in the settings app. Next, I plan on adding a file explorer which will connect all the apps into a single file system!
chicagOS Devlog 13- I have created the file explorer app, and built the new file system. Now, instead of each app being connected directly to localStorage, they all use the same newFile() and getFile() functions from a central file system. Each app has a dedicated folder within the system. Next up, I hope to make a music player app, with the ability to add audio files.
chicagOS- Devlog 14 I’ve added a lot more functionality to the file system. Now you can add new folders, delete folders, and rename folders. You can also drag to reorder the folders in the sidebar. I also added a custom alert/notification center, so alerts such as “cannot delete system folders,” etc will be displayed, along with any other possible notification features I might add. Next, I plan on making a music app.
chicagOS Devlog #15 - I have created the Music player app! You can upload any audio file from your computer and queue it in the playlist on the right. There is volume control, a time slider, play/pause, and skip/reverse. It will automatically load the name of the song, artist, and cover art if it is known. I originally planned on integrating this app with the existing file system, but it turns out audio files cannot be stored in localStorage so I had to scrap that idea. Currently, the playlist is just an array, which means it unfortunately does not save once the page is reloaded. But trust me, I’m going to update the file system so it can store all file types soon! I don’t really know what apps I’m going to add next, so I guess we will see where the wind takes me.
chicagOS Devlog #16 - I am still being indecisive about possibly adding a new app, so I decided to spruce up one of my simplest apps so far, Gallery. I mainly wanted to change how the photos were displayed, which wasn’t too difficult. The only real new feature I added was the ability to add custom photos, which was pretty easy because I used direct input from the computer. I also added the ability for grid view. At first I tried rebuilding the HTML for grid view, but I decided it would be easier to just have an invisible <div> that contained the grid layout. I don’t have any ideas for other apps to update, so if anyone has new app ideas, lmk cause I ran out days ago.
chicagOS Devlog #17 - Lots of changes! I’m wrapping up this project soon, so I am putting some final touches on the UI and making some backend changes. The file system now runs entirely using indexedDB instead of localStorage which means all file types can be saved now. The music app and gallery app have been connected to the file system. I also added a small calendar popup when you click on the time element. My biggest visual change was adding a startup screen. It was made almost entirely in CSS, and a single function in JS. I’m not sure if I’m going to add any more features before shipping, so if anyone has any suggestions lmk,
chicagOS Devlog #18 - Final devlog before shipping! Not many visual changes, as I have spent a lot of time cleaning up the code, removing unused classes from CSS, deleting temporary console.log() , removing unnecessary comments, etc. I cleaned up some animations in CSS, but other than that, none of the code has really changed. I’ve really enjoyed working on this OS project, but I’m definitely excited to start something new.
ChicagOS Devlog #19 - I’m reviving this project! I kept thinking of new things I could add to this project, so I will be starting work on this again after 2 months! The only real thing I did today was add new options for wallpapers, including this fun nighttime scene. Soon the first order of business will be getting better app icons, as currently they are just emojis, and adding a taskbar minimize.
chicagOS Devlog #20 - I have added the option to hide the taskbar, and I have also created a setting to toggle the taskbar from being on the bottom to being on the top. There are now 4 different options for the wallpaper, which I think makes the webpage even more fun! I changed some small things with the CSS, but soon I hope to add more fun small features that will make this OS even more useful.
Ships:
This is the Chicago-themed web OS I made for the WebOS 1 mission. I learned a lot about JS, HTML, and CSS. I have some experience with JS and HTML, but it is my first time using non-inline CSS, which has been fun. I had a great time designing the website and creating all of the features and apps. Some challenges included dealing with importing images, which took a very long time, and making certain UI elements look good.
chicagOS has finally reached completion! I have spent over a month working on this project, and I am really proud of what I have accomplished. While I enjoyed working on all aspects of this project, I had the most fun playing around with CSS and creating fun animated features for the OS. I am no expert in JS or CSS, so there were many learning curves associated with this project. The biggest challenge I faced was converting my file system from localStorage to indexedDB I made this change due to the limitations of localStorage, but indexedDB uses a very different framework, so I ended up needing to completely redo the code for some of my apps. I am really excited about all the new things I learned in this process, and happy to create a fun project themed around my hometown of Chicago!...

Project completed! The timeline section of my portfolio is now finally completed. I Completed all remaining CSS styling and optimized for mobile screens.

The idea is simple: one player becomes the Runner and tries to defeat the Ender Dragon, while the Hunters try to find and stop them before they succeed. I wanted to make it easier to play Manhunt with friends without having to manage everything manually. I built features like a player selection screen, different player roles, a tracking compass for Hunters, a match timer HUD, and spectator controls. The mod also handles match rules, including when the chase begins and how the game ends. Spectators can switch between players to follow the action, while the Runner and Hunters focus on their own objectives. I built this project using Java and the Fabric modding API. While working on it, I learned more about Minecraft’s systems, user interfaces, networking, game logic, and how different parts of a mod work together. Debugging errors and testing features in-game were also important parts of the process. This project started as a way for me to learn Minecraft modding by making something I would actually enjoy playing. I’m still learning and improving my skills, and this mod is a step forward in understanding how to turn an idea into a working game experience.", "repo": "https://github.com/Aayush-Bashyal/Manhunt", "demo": "https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/manhunt-finalchase"}]...

Finishing touches before V2.0 release! Just commented some debugging code and recompiled everything for the V2.0 release. She’s ready!
Minor bug fixes I wouldn’t call some of these “minor” but… I’ve fixed several bugs in the program in the newest releases (2.1 & 2.2) The exact details are listed in the releases on github.

Devlog 1 Made the player truck model!! Its a 3 wheeler inspired by a rather italian design I found on google. I’ve changed the design a lot, drawn it on procreate first, then modeled it in blender by myself I am kinda proud of this little thing, I couldn’t track my hours in blender nor procreate which was kinda shame. I’ve since dragged it in unity, and it looks great! NO AI WAS USED!!
Devlog 2 The basic Car Controller is ready! It is a very simple raycast based controller using 3 rays and unity wheel colliders. It works pretty well, no known issues. It works as expected, WASD movement, space is handbrake. Cargo load also works. I also grabbed a old camera controller from another project that had a simlar prespective, I was a bit afraid maybe something changed with the versions because it is a older script from 2022 but it worked perfectly fine with soem fine tuning of vaules!
Devlog 2.5 Polished up the camera, angled it for a isometric- perspective view, and just made the overall camera smoother. You can now rotate the camera with your right mouse button! It also smoothly auto rotates if you turn the car every 90 degrees.
Devlog 3 We have sound!!! I felt like a good game always needs sound, I avoid sound in most of my other games because I am NOT the best at it. The main thing that hard is seamless looping of audio. I cannot figure it out. After spending some time in the browser, I found some tools that helped me, especially this crossfade adder. After that, I added a simple engine sound system that increases the pitch/speed of the sound as I get faster and faster
Devlog 4 Graphics update!! Did you know that unity3D has a hidden feature that allows for some awsome out-of-the-box cell shading and outlines? To hide up my bad models in the future, I’m gonna use toon shading and other effects to make my game look more stylized so my models don’t have to be really realistic or high poly. What do you think? Does it look good? Help me out here…
Devlog 5 Overhauling terrain and grass! I decided to use the base of a old stylized grass shader I had and repurposed it into a more ghibli-like feel. I made it more optimized by splitting it into chunks and made it blend in with the terrain by removing any light rendering on the grass and made it render after Ambient Occlusion. Now it looks completely blended in with the terrain colors. After adding terrain colors it looks very ghibli-like!
Devlog 5.5 Made the grass system support multiple terrains since I plan on using Unity’s neighboring terrain system to make my big overall map. It grabs each terrain color correctly and the grass appears normally.
trying out to see if Unity’s terrain system will suit my needs, I have concluded it does! Trying to get an idea for the map now..
Devlog 6 added a water shader from a old project and painting terrain! Since I’m using neighboring terrain system from unity, I had to use some clever artistic covering up seams form the previous terrain (since colors weren’t even, they were all handpainted), and flatten each terrain in the terrain inspector. This will allow me to add rivers or lakes or mountains in the future. Pretty cool stuff! The water shader was just taken from a project from 4 years ago, I’m surprised it works without a flaw in Unity 6! Its got simplistic reflections (just planer reflections), waves, color, and foam!
Devlog 7 The making of the starting area! added a house and a path for the player to go through, my idea for this starting point is like a coastal plain, not very rough terrain, fairly easy for players to start off without losing any cargo and designed for them to learn the controls.
Devlog 7.5 Adding more things and lowering the density of the grass! (Gives an FPS boost ykyk)
Devlog 8 Got the rough map layout done! Took me a lot of remakes and editing but the general sizing of it should be the final map’s sizing. It is pretty big, it is 1.5km in length and 1km in width. Thought that ight sound small, the bigness comes from the vehicle speed and i’m tinking of adding lakes, rivers, and a final mountain on this map. It will constantly be editing as I go. I also made a new little cozy area! It will be the first delivery mission destination
Devlog 9 Fixed up the terrain. Unity terrain is a PAIN to get right.. there are so many numbers you can mess up on that gets your terrain data wiped and have to redo it again.. guess what i did. I got the numbers wrong. The map was WAY too big, so I scaled it down. When i scaled it down the resolution was WAY too high (since all of them somehow were auto set to 4k resolution) and CRASHED my laptop with 32gb ram.. Scary times. But i got it over with and now we have a nice little map with in WIP forest
MOUNTAINS!!! Devlog 10 Using unity’s terrain extended tools, I got some very nice looking mountains up in a short amount of time. For painting the cliffs and the snow, I wrote up a custom editor tool to help me paint the grey texture at certain incline angles and to check the altitude and add a noise variation to the snow. Looks pretty nice, the hard part will just be designing the details on it.
Devlog 11 Got some more env design up! I have made a lake a completed the river (maybe in the future i’ll add a waterfall and more branches like a delta) and also made a gravel road! I have also edited the mountains a little so the scale seems bigger and started to plan out possible routes up the mountain! Many more are planned for more possible delivery locations, stay tuned!
Devlog 12: Added a gas station (complete with a great view of the ocean thats probably gonna be covered up with trees in the near future)! And expanded the forest complete with LODs and more optimization features like decreasing shadow distance and quality. how it runs at a locked and stead 60 FPS which should be good for most people,
Devlog 13: I have started making the delivery system script! GOt some basic dialogue interaction system using trigger colliders. I’m going to try to make it really customizable because this is going to be the main gameplay mechanic for the rest of the game. Going on, I won’t leak too much of the story making process, that would kinda ruin it. But there will be updates on all the other stuff!
Devlog 13: Starting on the ascent to the peak of the mountain! Hopefully all goes well, it is the hardest part of the map design part because of how hard it is to flatten steep hills and cliffs to make it drivable and look natural. The player’s car does not provide a lot of torque so the changes in incline have to be very gradual. I will see how this goes! I have made a lot of progress on the storyline aspect of the game, i made it so players can choose to go on side quests or stick to the main objective whihc takes a shorter amount of time.
Devlog 14 Slowly but surely making my way up the mountain… Terrain sculpting takes so much time!!
Devlog 15: Becuase of the uneven terrain, staying upright is almost impossible say less about keeping the delivery on the bed of the truck! It isn’t supposed to be a ragebait game so I made a feature in the script so that when the player holds down shift, the player will keep grounded and go along with the terrain angles.
Devlog 16: FINALLY COMPLETED THE ROUTE!!! The route is now fully complete from the fields, to the forests, and to the mountains. The journey to the top of this mountain is NOT easy, and would probably require a lot of skill to complete the journey without falling off. Though there is a great award tho… a wonderful view that i will not spoil. Thanks you unity’s additional terrain tools, it wasn’t as hard sculpting roads out of the mountain but it WAS hard getting those roads to be easy for the player to access since the player’s vehicle is quite limited in torque and speed.
Devlog 17: Optimizations, optimizations, optimizations. that my friends is the summary of what I have done in these near 3 hours. lowering shadow quality, lowering reflection quality, batching, and just testing with a variety of different settings, it finally runs at a stable ~100 fps. before, the terrain were way too detailed, each point of the terrain casting a bunch of very high quality shadows, now, they still cast shadows because i cant lower resolution of the terrain since that would erase the terrain data, BUT i could lower the shadows resolution which gave me a huge performance boost.
Devlog 18: Working on the story line and FLOWERS!!! The flowers use the same system as the grass does, I just make some different textures (the flowers dont even have stems because it will just spawn on top of the grass that acts like its stem to save performance). I probably have to tune them more so they dont spawn as much on mountains, make them more fluid and natural spawning and not just in circles, and scale them better. It already looks like a huge glowup for the field so that is nice!
Devlog 18: Almost done with the storyline! Stay tuned! after storyline the game will be mostly complete. The remaining story line will probably take not much time using the system i made to streamline the process. Each delivery is unique but follows the same steps. Start, arrival, return dialogue for both, start new delivery, repeat.
devlog 19: Revamping the different packages so it isn’t just cubes anymore. First delivery will be apples and apple juice!
Devlog 20: The delivery system is fully completed with my own custom script-writing UI for the editor! Before i had this problem of the editor being REALLY slow due to all the voice lines I have but I have fixed that making script writing much more enjoyable and easy to look at/change things. i have completed the first mission which is very easy and acts like a guide for new players. the cubes are placeholders for actual characters that I will actually import when i get done with the main systems and story.
Devlog 21:: More storyline adding! Making the story takes up a lot of time and thinking, i’m trying to make them all feel smoothly integrated and made with care.
Devlog 22: Working on the story, added a new location, a hiker’s tent half way up the mountain acting as the midpoint for the journey up the mountain. Or i’m thinking of adding a temple thing near the top of the mountain for more variation so the player doesn’t get bored. I have also started to add more deliverables and worked on the story more
Devlog 23: The story is almost done! i’ve optimized the systems better and improved some graphics. Look at that fog! isn’t that just absolute eye candy? There are some weird shadow bugs becuase i turned the resolution down but the cell-shading helps a lot with that so it doesnt look TOO bad.
Devlog 24 Adding MUSIC to the game! (AND A NEW LOCATION!!) using garage band, i’ve cooked up a theme for the game, the piece is mostly piano and it is very simple with lots of repetition. I’m gonna see if i can use my inner music composing skills to make this sound better and incorporate it into the game somehow. I have also added a new location! the TEMPLE! it acts as the second to last place to stop and offers a great view. This is where the final mission happens. There are a lot of polishing to do before release but i am almost there!
Devlog 25 Since i can’t track my time on garage band, only 26 minutes for this… but i spent my entire morning completely redoing the theme for the game. it now looks like this and sounds loads better than the other one. It has some simple cords and a simple but pretty melody and i made it a waltz-like piece. This melody is probably gonna be repeated a lot through the game with variations so it’s short, memorable, and easily looped.
Devlog 26 Polish. Polish. Polish. So much polish, bugtesting and just the most fun yet boring parts of the game! I had to do like 9 full run throughs of the game which is really hard because i designed it so that players are gonna have to go slow on the roads to avoid falling off the mountain or loosing the load. I optimized the flowers more, overhauled the dialogue visuals with a new font and animation, and changed some dialogue. The work is very close to being finished!
Devlog 27 Getting animations in! Maximo is a savior, very easy alsmot drag and drop animations into unity. (of course there more than that but it’s easy for my case) There are more that i won’t spoil! all there is left is to add MUSIC, MENU, ENDING!!!
Devlog 28 The project is like 98% done. all that is left is main menu and ending scene. players can now restart a mission if their load falls off the bed or if they get stuck. I have also added ambient sound zones and more sound effects. various easter eggs have been added, more sound effects, and more polish has been done to the handling of the vehicle. I have also started on the prologue of the game.
Devlog 29 finally added in a driver! finished up prologue (i won’t spoil it) and started on a menu! the second image is the background subject to change. the final few devlogs and this project will be over!
Devlog 30: The main menu has been completed with all pages working! i’ve made sure that each resolution works and every button works too. did some fun camera effects for the background then i screenshotted it and added a panel overlay for where the “menu” part resides. I have also added a prologue (that i wont show for spoilers) and an ending. now is just left for the credits!
Devlog 31 I made it so that the prologue preloads terrain, this why gameplay is smooth and there is no such thing as a loading time! As the player is always doing something. I also made each terrain have it’s own grass renderer so the unnesscary ones dont have to be rendered at the very beginning
Devlog 32: working on menu music, ending music theme variations. after that the project would be completed with just building the game and editing player settings making it ready to be played and published to the public
FINAL DEVLOG!! THE GAME HAS BEEN BUILT. I built it for both mac and windows and now i am gonna try and see if it can also build on webGL. I have added the following features in these two hours. Pause menu End credits New keybinds Changes to prologue Loading optimization (with some major help using AI to help me figure out how to solve lag spikes)
BUILDS COMPLETED i had to fix some final build bugs but two builds have finally successfully completed! both windows and mac builds have been uploaded to itch.io!

This is “One Tiny Delivery” made this in around 4 weeks. It is a complete small exploration game about going around delivering packages on an island. The hardest part of this project from a technical perspective would be optimization. I tried all the ways to optimize my game and it finally came out to a steady 100 fps on my laptop. It gave me a lot of new knowledge how Unity renders scenes and how batching and the new resident drawer feature can boost FPS. The hardest thing from a non-technical perspective would be the music. I am NOT a composer, i have no music theory, the only instrument i play is the flute, i don’t know what sounds good or not i can only guess and check. Making this project has been really fun, see yall on the next one!...

The project is almost finished, but i’m not happy with the accuracy, so ill work on making it better. As good as it can be.
bug fixing session, no exciting updates, the more i think im coming close oto finishing it, more the work remains.
pure hell of trial and error I am actually unsure if this will even work properly now. But fear not freinds, “BECAUSE I AM HERE” mha reference btw. I will actually take it a bit slow now, and ship in 10 days. Promise, no more delays....

Basically I used a planning software named milanote to properly plan out all my stuff. These are what I have made the plan for now: IDEAS Make a day system where every day has a set amount of time you earn money by destroying asteroids you upgrade the rocket so you can break more asteroids faster As more days pass increase the difficulty of the game. Make it so the character has to do spend money to in his house for stuff like water bill, food bill, electricity which gives him nerfs if he doesn’t buy these. GET RID OF ANY VISIBLE CHARACTER make it feel kinda like a visual novel type shi when the rocket runs out of health the day ends early and you are fined. GAMEPLAY LOOP(INTENDED) Player wakes up at home goes outside takes a car to go to the rocket launch site transfer to the rocket launch screen(the upgrades can be accessed from here) flys the rocket earns money by breaking asteroids (Bigger asteroid pay more and are harder to break) when time ends he is returned home he decides whether he wants to pay his bills or not sleeps and repeat game ends when he maxs out the rocket also make sure to check out the current state of the game"}, {"post_id": 38108, "ts": "2026-07-31T10:11:25Z", "hours": 0.7, "text": "DEVLOG 14 After a long long time IM FINALLY BACK Basically I had a exam for the whole month and now its finally over.

DEVLOG #2 The rocket🚀 can now reach space🌌! Im making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. As you can probably tell I added space to my game. I also : drew a bunch of janky looking stars🌠 and added them to the game. I also added 2 types of clouds , Normal and storm clouds . The storm clouds🌩️ make your rocket blow up if you crash into it and normal clouds☁️ are only for cosmetic purposes . I also fixed up a fix bugs👾 with the throttle system for the rocket. btw you can click on the underlined words to see the sprites
Made a new sprite for the main character
Drew and implemented a tileset for the main house of the game The tileset will be used to line the inside of the house so you can tell the wall apart from the void
DEVLOG #3 You can now TOUCH GRASS! not really tho. I added the inside of a house and outside portion to the game. The character can now walk out of his house and then walk over to the rocket launch station and then fly the rocket I also made a few sprites for decoration inside of the house
Remade the rocket sprite. Definitely the best artwork of my life. I will happily take any advice you guys have.
Made the final sprite for the rocket launch site! Usually I get the artwork for my game done by teammates. But since I dont have any teammates this time I decided to start learning pixel art myself! Since I’m just starting now even the simple things take me quite a long time. The entire time logged here was spent working on this one sprite ( This doesn’t include the time spent on the rocket btw)
Devlog #4 The player can now board upon the rocket! Im making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. And now the two parts of the game are finally connected. Now the player can walk out of his house , then go to the launch site and board on the rocket. I did run into a bunch of problems when trying to implement this. At first I was trying to do all the work on the boarder object but then I realized it would be much easier if I just did that in the player instead. So it works now.
Devlog #5 I Started work on some Juicy juicy lore. Im making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship.( This may be subject to change ) I’m not gonna spoil any of the lore here but just know that I did work on it. I also remade the main player sprite ( This time lore accurate ) and also worked on a few bugs
DevLog #6 Decided to select a style / palette for my game. Im making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. Took me a bit of time to find a concrete palette for my game. And after a while I found a good palette. Then I decide to re-remake the character . Also I decided to make the artstyle for the game low-res
Devlog #7 Worked on a bunch of stuff in the logged time. Im making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. The most notable ones would be : New Tileset to match the palette A bunch of other remade sprites (the bed and the sofa) Started Work on UI Drew the Title sprite and quite a bit more. I have been busy with school lately so the devlog frequency has dropped D:
DevLog #8 The game now has a Main Menu!! Im making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. This may not feel like much but with this I have laid all the groundwork needed for the rest of the UI . Now I can complete all the UI stuff in no time. I also lwk need to touch up on the sprites
Devlog #9 I worked on a pause menu and bunch of other UI stuff. Im making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. Adding a pause menu is quite a easy task and should not have taken this long. But alas I ran into a bug that took me 30 mins to solve. And the worst part is that fact that it was because of a misplaced “!” symbol. I also re worked on some of the sprites to add some small tweaks. Well the pause menu is still lackluster but I will expand upon it later. Also there is a bug still in the game that makes it so you cant close out of the menu.
DevLog #10 I spent a ton of time re writing the past devlogs to make them more voter friendly. I’m making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. I basically went back and re-did all my devlogs and added the new markdown formatting stuff I learnt thanks to a hint from @tongyu . You can see the before and after <–– Here I also plan on working on my repo today but I have school in an hour now so I cant do that now :(
Devlog #11 You can now play the game yourself🎉!! I’m making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. I did a bunch of stuff in the logged time and the most notable one of the bunch is that i finally made a itch page . i also worked on a few other stuff such as: Made a animation of the player getting in bed ( have’nt implemented it yet tho ) -Work on fixing the bugs that come with making a executable for you game. -Also fix some ui related bugs Please check out the game
DevLog #12 It actually took me this long to make the player take a nap . I’m making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. I spent this whole time figuring out how to make the player animate when laying down and animate again when getting out of bed. It actually took me 3 different approach to finally find one that works, and even after that when I exported the game to itch for some reason it stops working. It works perfectly fine in the windows build though. I plan on working on fixing this things that happen only on itch tmrw.
Devlog #13 WE ARE SO BACK!! I’m making a game where you work your way up the corporate ladder to finally fulfill your dream of piloting a space ship. for the past week I have been really busy with school and stuff so I could really work much or at all . So, I have’nt worked on the game for an entire week. But today I decided to change that. So cus Im coming back after a bit of time i decided to not do to much work. So all the things I did today was make a car sprite.
i worked on rearranging my files inside the game. Not worth a full devlog
tried to fix the issues with the html5 export( failed miserably )
DEVLOG 14 After a long long time IM FINALLY BACK Basically I had a exam for the whole month and now its finally over. That being said coming back after a long time, I realize that there are some things I really need to change about the game. First of all Im changing what this game is about This is no longer about some corporate ladder bs Im just gonna make a arcade simulator type thing. im gonna make the scope of the game smaller . I realize i dont have much time rn so i will try to work daily but in small amounts! Also I finished some work today. Like finally fixing the HTML issue . Turns out instead of fixing it I just needed to not export to HTML. Also started work on a game over screen. That all for today!! also check out the Game
Devlog #15 I Finally made a proper plan for the game!! I was making a game where you do a bunch of stuff like climbing the corporate ladder and shi but now i changed my mind I have finally made a proper game plan for myself to follow so i can make the game more easily. Basically I used a planning software named milanote to properly plan out all my stuff. These are what I have made the plan for now: IDEAS Make a day system where every day has a set amount of time you earn money by destroying asteroids you upgrade the rocket so you can break more asteroids faster As more days pass increase the difficulty of the game. Make it so the character has to do spend money to in his house for stuff like water bill, food bill, electricity which gives him nerfs if he doesn’t buy these. GET RID OF ANY VISIBLE CHARACTER make it feel kinda like a visual novel type shi when the rocket runs out of health the day ends early and you are fined. GAMEPLAY LOOP(INTENDED) Player wakes up at home goes outside takes a car to go to the rocket launch site transfer to the rocket launch screen(the upgrades can be accessed from here) flys the rocket earns money by breaking asteroids (Bigger asteroid pay more and are harder to break) when time ends he is returned home he decides whether he wants to pay his bills or not sleeps and repeat game ends when he maxs out the rocket also make sure to check out the current state of the game
DevLog #16 Finally doing some real stuff again! I making a game where you collect money by cleaning up space junk and use that money to upgrade your rocket This day wasn’t that productive because I had school for like 9 hours of the day. But I still manged to add some stuff I basically added a money system in to the game and made the HUD elements. For now you can only see how much money you have and not earn any. I ran into bug( not a bug just a coding mistake) which drove me nuts. Basically I was drawing the HUD on the top left side of the room instead of the screen. It took me a while to figure out. But alas I’m out of time so I cant fix it today D:
Devlog #17 Money works and I got rid of the character I making a game where you collect money by cleaning up space junk and use that money to upgrade your rocket Money system I fixed the bug with the money counter. Now your money is properly shown. It also goes up when you break asteroids, so you can earn money . Point and click system I also started work on the click and move system . All the things I need to make for it are complete but I just need to implement them everywhere now. life update Im still quite busy with my studies so I have a bit less time to work on the game. Thats why development is slowing down.
DevLog #18 Well this is a long one. I making a game where you collect money by cleaning up space junk and use that money to upgrade your rocket Well, I did a lot of stuff today. Finished Implementing click to move everywhere Made it so the sprites are highLighted when you hover you mouse over them. This took me a lot of time to figure out -# I used chatgpt for a hint during this part. I worked on a sprite for the research lab where you buy upgrades for you rocket This took me like almost the whole hour. Made the basics for the shop menu. I just need to draw a few buttons for the upgrades and it will be done. I used up a lot of the time I was supposed to be studying today to work so im lwk cooked.
DevLog #19 Productivity just sky-rocketed(Pun intended) I making a game where you collect money by cleaning up space junk and use that money to upgrade your rocket I did a real lot of stuff today . Finished the new shop menu and its fully working Started work on the health system for the rocket and realized the many things i need to work on I have made the rocket upgradable. Now the logged time includes the pain from the clock sprite but that is a story for the next log
DevLog #20 PAINLOG #1 Repetition is the worst form of torture. (Also I hate myself) Even if every single one of my trillions of cells had the word “ Pain ” written on them 100 times, It wouldn’t even come close to representing the sheer amount of pain I had to go throw to to finish this sprite. I know there was better ways to do this then to spend nearly 2 hours drawing 180 frames by hand, but I was the one who brought this upon myself. I have no one to blame but me. I hope the pain ends now.
DevLog #21 Random miscellaneous stuff I also threw out the timer sprite Made it so new rocks spawn when old ones are broken. Also made a Fuel meter sprite to use instead of the timer. Made the code for the fuel meter as a timer work.( It was a bunch of hard math.) And of course I had to spend like 1 whole hour debugging all this. Check out the [game](Space Janitors by Bawad2 ) I updated it in itch again.
DevLog #22 Fixed up my repo and also fixed a fatal bug within my repo I basically had a bug which made me unable to push to origin. I ended up resorting to ai to help me fix this bug. But in the end even the ai failed but the things I learned for the ai ended up helping me fixing it myself. I also rewrote the Readme. And sent new version of the game to itch.
DevLog 23 Iv been real busy lately This devlog is boil down of maybe like a week or so of work. I have been so busy that there wasnt a single day this week that I worked before 12AM. Anyways some of the stuff that I made in this logged time includes: A functional game over screen. yep thats it. It was really hard to make tho. I had to figure out a bunch of stuff such as how to make the stats show in the UI layer and a bunch of other stuff I hope I wont be as busy as this anymore
not much really i just studied GML for a while and also worked on a bunch of UI stuff
did some final work on the game and decided to give up and just ship it. Made some upgrades to the main menu
I fixed the things i was told to fix :D
Ships:
This is the first project I will ship for Hackclub. It was originally supposed to be shipped after i fully finished it. But slowly i started losing attachment to the project and now i dont want to work on it anymore. So, since it has a working loop for gameplay already im gonna ship it here. That game has a playable demo in itch at https://bawad2.itch.io/space-janitors Also in the repo there is a file called “Hourly logs” in that file I have been writing down what i was working on what my plan is and what my thought process is from day one, I think it will be a interesting thing for you to check out. I hope you find my 53 hours interesting at the very least....

i started blare challenge and i created the schematic of my pcb today
currently working on my alarm clocks pcb layout
So i finished the pcb added sum stickers on it and started working on the case for it rn i have only made a simple layout for the case i will work on the case tomorrow
so i wanted to create an alarm clock that resembled the brick phone from 90s so i was trying to create the body the clock in fusion
continued the cad design of my alarm clock added back plate and cutout for usb c cable and added some screw holes for pcb
made sum further changes with the alarm clock added more button in 2*3 matrix and some other stuff
so made some changes both in pcb and cad readjusted everything in place...

[Friday, Jun 5th] - PCB Designed. My first devlog! I got my first prototype of the board completed, designed so all the ugly components are on the back. This design features: ATTINY85 microcontroller A CR2032 battery holder 10x 5mm red LEDs A trimmer potentiometer from Aliexpress 💀 A button for switching modes
[Saturday, Jun 6th] - Core Firmware. Got the basic firmware working. Just simple button press turns LED on/off. Nothing fancy yet, but big things are in the near future. Next up: Debouncing, mode cycling (off, on, breathe), and trimpot brightness control. But for now, the core loop works and proves my ATtiny85 isn’t fried lol.
[Saturday, Jun 6th] - Mode cycling and debouncing. Core firmware structure updated. Button debouncing is solid (50ms), and mode cycling is working cleanly through OFF, ON and FADE. Right now, the fade is just blinking, but that’s next on the list. Once I add smooth PWM fading with gamma correction, the breathing effect will be 🤌 Git log (attached) shows my iteration. We’re getting close to ordering our PCBs!
[Tuesday, Jun 16] - Smooth fading and PCB polishing. Firmware: I got the smooth PWM fading working with gamma corrected brightness. The breathing effect is absolutely GORGEOUS and way better than the old blinking. Hardware: Did some PCB cleaning up. Rescaled the silkscreen text to be bigger and more readable, and repositioned everything to look cleaner on the front. Both parts are coming together nicely! Firmware is almost done (just need trimpot brightness control), and the PCB design is ready to order soon! Next up: Integrate analog brightness control from the trimpot.
[Tuesday, Jun 16] - Analog Brightness + PCB Finalized Firmware is DONE! Got trimpot brightness control working - turn the knob, watch the LED respond beautifully. Hardware: Rerouted the whole back to fit the trimpot voltage divider properly, added a power switch to toggle it on/off (goodbye battery drain anxiety!). PCB is ready to manufacture! After many firmware bugs, all three pieces are finally working together: smooth fading firmware + trimpot brightness control + clean power management. Next: Export Gerbers and ship this to JLCPCB!
[Friday, July 17] - Hardware Assembly Complete Okay so… it’s been a month since my last devlog. I ordered the PCBs June 16th, and they arrived while I was on holiday, but we’re finally back to building! The PCBs arrived absolutely beautiful. The heart shape clean, and the blue solder mask + white silkscreen looks fabulous. Soldering was a journey… I got every component on except the battery holder with relative ease (forgot to track the time 🫠). I tested the complete board using an Arduino as a PSU and everything worked perfectly! There was a lot of residual flux left around the joints (looked like someone sneezed on my board) which I cleaned with an old toothbrush and some hand sanitiser 💀 Next: Solder battery holder, cut the LED legs, then ship!
[Friday, Oct 16] - Tweaks before review Almost exactly two months since my last devlog.. I spent this entire devlog polishing my README, reorganising, reformatting my BOM.csv, etc. to ensure Project Luminescence is ready for review!
Ships:
I made a custom heart-shaped PCB with 10 LEDs and 3 modes (ON, breathing, OFF). It’s a birthday gift for my girlfriend! Making the trimpot voltage divider took some iteration, but breadboard testing saved me big time. I’m super proud of the entire architecture, as this is my first completed hardware project. Thanks for voting!...
