Finished with the pcb, had to restart multiple times while routing and had to take help of free routing to route all the connections on my PCB
Made the 3d model. Started off by learning the basics of fusion and made my way through making the 3d model
TapPad will not only be a macro pad but at also a media controller through the rotary switch, as well as a status indicator through the customizable OLED display.
I have made the firmware and have given some finishing touches to the case. Making the firmware was a bit confusing, but with a little bit of help from internet and AI, I managed to make the firmware

I started working on a new project today, an interactive bookshelf where i can share books I’ve read and my reviews. Today I got the project setup done, created the Github repo and finished the HTML layout. Tomorrow I’ll start working on CSS file and will start building the actual bookshelf and the first book. Hopefully I’ll have something to show tomorrow.
The basic structure of my bookshelf along with some css styling is done, a lot of work is still left
i wanted to add this paper like texture in the books which took a lot of time, im thinking of changing the overall color palate of the website to make it look more vintage. also took a lot of time off, gotta continue working now.
i made a lot of progress last couple of days cleaning up my bookshelf code by moving the book generation logic into a new book.js file, which made it way easier to load real cover images directly from my JSON data. I had to use AI to figure out the 3D book animation because the math was really hard, but now the spine and cover finally open naturally without clipping through each other.

i also made a header logo for my wesite...

GUYS! Referred Hackpad guide and routed the pcb.
I just measured by pcb and designed a case for it on fusion. i followed through the hackpad guide and replicated each and every step to make my own minopado!!
LEARNING STAGE (complete). I have completed the cad design by following through the kackpad guide. generated the plate and extruded the usb port and extruded some final designs of case.
Finalized all the components which will be on my Pad. will start the schematic tmrw.
Learned how to deal with assigning footprints and cad designing , will implement this learning to make my actual 5 key pad .
Made seperate folders and assigned symbols and footprinds for CommandPad
I have assigned footprints and 3d models for xiao and cherry mx switches! for CommandPad.
Finally assigned all the footprints with their 3d models (tbh irritating task searching online all that stuff)
Completed the Schematic for CommandPad! it’s clean isnt it :) [ guys if i messed up smthng comment, Thank you] who doesnt love making projects :))))
Dealing with PCB (session 1)
PCB is almost done (just need to add keycaps)
Added Keycaps!
Completed CAD Designing...

made those CLI messages and input reading basic write and read syscalls
made atoi ASCII to integer conversion i am an idiot so i accidenttely said “itoa” in git commit T_T (integer to ASCII) yeah not much to show right now, just took almost an hour debugging and trying to fix the the loop screenshot shows i entered those values which is taken as ASCII and the output from reading the num1 and num2 bytes it prints those as numbers
Addition yeah it can do addition now, but 1h 24m to make that? hell NO. most of the time went on a stupid Integer to ASCII conversion function it was so hard to implement but i did it at the end the calculator lacks hella checks tho, you can do “hi + hello” and get 620280 (yes literally idk how)
Added Subtraction, Multiplication, Division they were all easy, everything after itoa was easy so far. also made github repo and the readme has my todo stuff too.
Multiple shi did a lot of lil things, just wanted to complete this and ship to get 3 stardust so i can get the buds _ things i did: added negative number guard added invalid number check added operation check added u64 overflow check

I created the fundamentals for my game and also a first very very basic animation
I’ve been working on pitch detection and ran into a few issues, but my program can now identify which string is being played based on its frequency. Unfortunately, it insn’t precise yet, because some strings share the same frequency as other strings at certain frets. Nevertheless, you can see it in my console here!
I intergrated the note recognition with the game logic and my first test run was succesful: the player jumps when the right note is played at the right time and crashes into the obstacle if not. I also experimented with a few simple designs and had the idea of making the game responsive - I messed that up a bit, but I#m fixing it. Unfortunately, the game logic isn’t working quite right again yet, so here is just a screenshot
I’ve made the game largely responsive now and as you can see I experimented a bit with the backgrounds. I’ve added two more types of obstacles to provide more variety, but unfortunately, I still don’t habe a fully functional level ready - so, once again, just a screenshot:

Hellooooo, I created a pause and a startscreen menu (: I also build the first level!
I made my game ready to ship. It is now fully playable!! I’ve added some basic funktions… You can take a look at the full game in this video!!! I will add some levels to round it up and then finally ship it
Stardance has extended, so I took the time to build some small features, like a loading screen, which is displayed when starting the game so thath the images can load before and not while playing. I also added a function which brings the game on full screen when starting and flips the screen if youre playing on phone (works with google on my phone). Annddd I added a note which only pops up, if you open the game for the first time (you can see it in the screenshot). I also cleaned the code, it’s the worst work and nobody really notices…
Began to implement a chord detection, to extend my existing note detection, but ran in tooo many problems so I will continue tomorrow. And I designed one level (level 11) that means I rearanged the obstacles.
I finished the chord detection!!! But I’m not satisfied because it does not work as good as I want it. You have to play the chords very clear and loud so you need to use an amplifier if you play on electric guitar. I wanted the detection also to detect quiet chords, but I just don’t get it so I added this information at the beginning. At least it does work :)
I’m designing my levels at the moment and rearanged level 1. Then I wanted to add different themes… I started with a desert theme. I implemented it just like my arcade theme but it did not really work and I can’t tell why… But I guess I will figure it out
I got the design showing up and it looks okay for now. Tomorrow I will try to get cleaner animations. I also aranged level 2 and 3. And did a looottt of testing
I worked on the desert theme an nearly finished it, but I wantet to change how the game displays the notes and did it. But at first I ran into many issues. I desided to show one here. I first completely destroyed my layout and had to figure out what hapend and how to fix it. In the end I did it and also designed level 4! So here my broken layout…
Hello I changed the size so it is more playable on phone and made a preview to every level which is personal designed for each level… or it will be. I also testet a lot and made preview screenshots. Then I had the idea to use popular guitar riffs for my levels, so that you can actually play a song in the end, which I think would be muchhhh cooler than just some notes. I hope this will work!!!!! I don’t know what to show so here is one of the preview screenshots
Heyooo, as I promised or said I created three levels for a riff to a real song. It’s the well known seven nation army riff (: The first level has just the notes you need for the riff, already in the correct order, but you have muchhh time to play them, so you get familar to where they are on your guitar. I have already plans to desing level two and three, but I have to sleep. So I will do it tomorrow or another day. I am very exited to do this and later show it to you! Here is the array with the obstacles for level one, you can see which frets and strings I used for the riff:
I finished level 1 to 3 with the 7 Nation Army riff and of course redisined level 1 to 3 so that the obstacles match the rithm of seven Nation Army. I also started with a level with chrods, but first I want to make a chord catalog where you can look how to play each chord you need for the level or, respectively the song. Here is one of the levels preview (it’s level 3) :...

Basically, there are a few (20) planets that are interesting in some way, and so I made them kinda like achievements, so when you visit a planet you can find out more about it. Now, this would be difficult with gas planets, so all you need to do is just click on a planet and it will automatically show in the list. If you open the list and click on the planet you visited, you can find out some interesting (or not so interesting, idk) info about it. Just a little detail to the game, but I wanted the planets to have a little meaning. This was like 7-10 hours of research so I am really glad I finally finished it. NO AI WAS USED IN THE PROCESS OF THE RESEARCH I tried it once, but it was no use ALL INFO IS PRIMARILY FROM WIKIPEDIA AND NASA WEBSITES.

I will work on some details, play-testing and add a few more easter eggs. I really imagined the game to be a lot more interesting, but turns out learning game development from scratch isn’t a walk in the park.

The game is officially playable. I added the death scenes along with the victory one, and created a main menu (with one pathetic start button). I also added a restart and quit button on each death/win scene, so now you can go in loops or quit after your first death. Unless you are lucky enough to find Earth first, of course. Technically speaking, save for a few details the game is ready for shipping if I don’t have enough time to finish it with all of its original features, and I will ship it in the way it is now if I run out of time. What I will try to work on first though: - gravity warning signs - there are a few planets with so low gravity, that jumping would shoot you into open space, and I made that a way to die (this probably isn’t scientifically correct, don’t quote me on this), but right now you have no way to tell which planets are those, and I won’t be so cruel to at least not give you a hint - small info about a couple of planets - this game was always supposed to be semi-educational, with unnecessary notes to interesting planets in the game. The notes won’t be relevant to finding Earth, just a little info for those who are interested. I didn’t mention it before, because I didn’t know if I would have enough time for that, but in the end I decided that it was a pretty important part of the game and scratched some other things instead.

This definitely didn’t take an embarrassing amount of time (tracker speaks for itself) and we did get stuck a few times, but the aftermath is that IT WORKS! What you can do right now: -Travel around the space -Die in at least 5 ways -inspect a planet (meaning you can get a better look at it and see its name) -choose whether you want to land on the planet or not - actually land on the planet -leave the planet (unless it’s a gas giant or you die in a different way) -repeat What’s next : Next I am gonna make a menu screen, because right now you just jump straight into the map. Then I need to make Earth the endgame, because right now it’s the only thing that’s not interactable. After that I make some cool death scenes. What’s coming in the far future : I want to add an oxygen level and make some planets that will be able to refill it. I also want to add at least 3 more ways to die. I also need a starting planet that will disappear after you leave it. I wanted to add a starting animation, but I don’t think I have enough time for that. I also wanted to add some minigame(s) to make it more fun, but again, time is becoming problematic.

On the first picture is my version of a possible landscape on Kepler-186f , which has to be one of my favorite exoplanets, if not my favorite. Because of its position and the host star dimness, it is possible that if life existed on the planet, plants would be colored in the shades of red, black and purple and I find that INSANELY cool.

It sounds so easy and quick, but I feel like it will take me the whole week. I really hope not.

I also added a black hole that pulls you towards it, but I am not quite happy with how it works so I will be working on that. Also, I am adding easter eggs even before the actual game is working… Anyway, I’m a fan of birds so I am just adding random birds in random spots. Hope you like them! (pic: duck on Neptune)
Devlog 3 I added stars to the map background, because it was hard to tell if you were moving and which direction you were going. I also added orbits to the planets (they are there, I promise), because without them, it was almost impossible to find any planets. Also, I fixed the black hole, and next I want to figure out how to make the planets landable. (I’m new to Godot and I’m learning as I go, so bear with me) Wish me luck!
Devlog 4 Today I figured out how to make landing possible (which definitely didn’t take a ridiculous amount of time), and I am quite satisfied with how it works, but it’s still missing transitions between cameras, so I will work on that later. I’m not happy with the planet font, but it’ll have to do for now. I made the gas planets landable, but there are still so many of them to do, and it’s not a fun process… send help.
Devlog 5 I made the Alpha Centauri system, though you can’t land on the planets yet, just get yourself killed in the stars. I’m designing all of the exoplanets, because Google images aren’t any good. I also drew the star types (they aren’t perfect, but oh well) for the same reason. I still have 9 star systems and around 20 planets to make, but I feel like the map will still be quite empty, so if you have suggestions on cool exoplanets that I could add, let me know :)
Devlog 6 I finished designing the exoplanets (yipee) and that’s all for now. All of the planets are inspired by whatever Google fed me, so it’s not completely made up. My head hurts, but I will be back after the weekend. Let me know what you think of the planets :) Have a nice weekend!!
Devlog 7 I finally finished the map, so now there are all of the planets, and stars, and other things waiting to kill you. I also added a bunch of asteroids that are just there… but you probably don’t want to crash into them. I still haven’t fixed the camera transition (I honestly forgot), but first I will concentrate on drawing the scenes for the planets you will be able to land on. So far so good, but it will go downhill pretty soon, I can feel it.
Devlog 8 I started drawing the scenes for the planets and let me tell you, not a fun process… This one took over an hour and a half, and considering the fact that I have like 5 million more to make, my project will be 5% coding, 10% building and 85% Lapse… Anyway, I am trying to be as scientifically accurate as possible, but considering how little information we have about most exoplanets I will have to use my imagination quite a bit. Just like the rocket, the astronaut is just there for testing, not the final version because I am keeping the worst parts for last. ( pic: background for Poltergeist, an exoplanet orbiting the Lich pulsar )
Devlog 9 Y’all, I’m backk! I kinda slowed down on the project, I’m losing motivation slightly, because drawing all these scenes is taking AGES, and when I compare the amazing projects y’all are making to my little silly rocket game, I just wanna quit. But I am not giving up (yet). So far, I’ve made a couple of the scenes, and finished all the scenes for the Lich pulsar planets (let’s act like there’s not only 3 of them) and a few gas planets. There are still a lot of them to do, but there is some progress. I will keep y’all updated on how it’s (not) going aaand I hope you have a nice day! (pic: a heavily judgmental kiwi bird on Alpha Centauri A b)
Devlog 10 Y’all, we are making progress! Very slow one though. I’ve been working on the scenes and, we are moving, and I have around 10 more to make. We are gonna ignore the fact that they are the worst ones. Among others, I made the Mars scene, and hear me out, okay, I just HAD TO add the cat ears to the sun now come on ( first pic ) like it was seriously asking for it. I also wanted to add some funny text next to it, but I am a left-handed person using the mouse with my right hand (don’t ask, idk) and it ended up looking terrible (for the record, my normal handwriting isn’t any better, but yea). NEXT, I am going to finish the scenes (I know I said something similar last time, but it’s a slow process and I hate it) and then connect them to their planets or whatever aand idk. Here are some pictures, pay them some respect, or don’t.
Devlog 11 Y’ALL I’M FREE! Well, not really yet, BUT I finally finished ALL OF THE SCENES YAY!!! I have officially made over 30 unique exoplanet landscapes, one for each exoplanet (I am just now realizing there are planets in the Solar System as well… NEVERMIND THAT). They aren’t perfect, they aren’t polished, they aren’t gorgeous and mindblowingly stunning, but hey, at least they aren’t AI right? On the first picture is my version of a possible landscape on Kepler-186f , which has to be one of my favorite exoplanets, if not my favorite. Because of its position and the host star dimness, it is possible that if life existed on the planet, plants would be colored in the shades of red, black and purple and I find that INSANELY cool. NEXT UP : I am gonna make all of the planets LANDABLE, meaning that I will connect the landscapes to the planets on the map. It sounds so easy and quick, but I feel like it will take me the whole week. I really hope not. After that, the game will finally be playable, and we can move on to the details that will make it more interesting. See y’all at my next mental breakdown, bye :)
Devlog 12 Okay so we reached an important point in the game development, because now we can not only LAND ON THE PLANETS, but we can also LEAVE THE PLANETS!!! This definitely didn’t take an embarrassing amount of time (tracker speaks for itself) and we did get stuck a few times, but the aftermath is that IT WORKS! What you can do right now: -Travel around the space -Die in at least 5 ways -inspect a planet (meaning you can get a better look at it and see its name) -choose whether you want to land on the planet or not - actually land on the planet -leave the planet (unless it’s a gas giant or you die in a different way) -repeat What’s next : Next I am gonna make a menu screen, because right now you just jump straight into the map. Then I need to make Earth the endgame, because right now it’s the only thing that’s not interactable. After that I make some cool death scenes. What’s coming in the far future : I want to add an oxygen level and make some planets that will be able to refill it. I also want to add at least 3 more ways to die. I also need a starting planet that will disappear after you leave it. I wanted to add a starting animation, but I don’t think I have enough time for that. I also wanted to add some minigame(s) to make it more fun, but again, time is becoming problematic. And I REALLY wanted to add some animals on a couple of planets, but this is at the very bottom of the list and I need to concentrate on the essentials. Wish me luck! (current mental breakdown count: too many to keep track of)
Devlog 13 It’s time to celebrateeeeeee!!! The game is officially playable. I added the death scenes along with the victory one, and created a main menu (with one pathetic start button). I also added a restart and quit button on each death/win scene, so now you can go in loops or quit after your first death. Unless you are lucky enough to find Earth first, of course. Technically speaking, save for a few details the game is ready for shipping if I don’t have enough time to finish it with all of its original features, and I will ship it in the way it is now if I run out of time. What I will try to work on first though: - gravity warning signs - there are a few planets with so low gravity, that jumping would shoot you into open space, and I made that a way to die (this probably isn’t scientifically correct, don’t quote me on this), but right now you have no way to tell which planets are those, and I won’t be so cruel to at least not give you a hint - small info about a couple of planets - this game was always supposed to be semi-educational, with unnecessary notes to interesting planets in the game. The notes won’t be relevant to finding Earth, just a little info for those who are interested. I didn’t mention it before, because I didn’t know if I would have enough time for that, but in the end I decided that it was a pretty important part of the game and scratched some other things instead. Time is running out so wish me luck y’all. (P.S.: I finally designed the rocket! It’s definitely not better than the previous one, but it’s mine)
Devlog 14 This will be a short one. So, what I did since last devlog: -added loading screens -added music and sound effects -finally made the astronaut I don’t know if I forgot anything, I am honestly losing track of the devlogs help. Now here comes the problem, I don’t have enough time to make the little notes about the planets, so I’ve decided to just polish the game as much as I can and ship it the way it is. I will work on some details, play-testing and add a few more easter eggs. I really imagined the game to be a lot more interesting, but turns out learning game development from scratch isn’t a walk in the park. But I am happy with the game and most importantly, WE ARE GETTING THE CERTIFICATE!!! I am not leaving this year’s Stardance without the certificate. Anyway, I will go work on some stuff and I will see y’all at the next (and probably last) devlog
Devlog 15 Another milestone reached, I made the nerd side of this game. Basically, there are a few (20) planets that are interesting in some way, and so I made them kinda like achievements, so when you visit a planet you can find out more about it. Now, this would be difficult with gas planets, so all you need to do is just click on a planet and it will automatically show in the list. If you open the list and click on the planet you visited, you can find out some interesting (or not so interesting, idk) info about it. Just a little detail to the game, but I wanted the planets to have a little meaning. This was like 7-10 hours of research so I am really glad I finally finished it. NO AI WAS USED IN THE PROCESS OF THE RESEARCH I tried it once, but it was no use ALL INFO IS PRIMARILY FROM WIKIPEDIA AND NASA WEBSITES. I will go work on some details, but we are nearing the end!!!
Devlog 16 We are so back y’all. Here’s what I’ve done since the last devlog: - added some easter eggs (in the memory of the testing sprites) - added timers to planets that are too hot or toxic (it just kills you if you stay there for too long) in the form of a vignette (you will basically see the edges getting darker and darker) - added poisonous plants - on one planet there are fruits that you can eat, one is safe and does… well, nothing, and the other one is poisonous… will not tell you which one is which I confess, I DID use AI for the vignette, because I am still learning and I was not able to get it done by myself, nor did I find any good videos on youtube, which is where I often get my code from. I feel terrible about it, pls don’t kill me. That’s all y’all, I didn’t get to do much this week, school has been HELL . See ya :)...

The parts have slowly arrived over the last week and the only thing I was missing was the 2000mah LiPo battery, but I couldn’t wait, so I started building AirLog-E today! Building! I’ll go in order of how I built it! 3D Printing… First, I 3D printed my enclosure which was super easy using the 3 included .3mf files! E-Ink Display I next used M2.5 Screws to screw the e-ink display into the main section along with the front plate. The cables from the display were super long so I cut those to a shorter length in preparation for the next steps. Sensors Then I screwed the 2 environment sensors into the enclosure. Heatset Inserts Next were the 4 M3 heatset inserts which go into the main section (these were super satisfying to install) First bit of soldering I now had to solder all 8 pins from the display to the ESP32-c6 which was very fiddly! I was also going along with a multimeter to check every connection after every new joint. Charging I wired up the TP4056 module to the ESP32’s BAT + and BAT - pads and attached the 2 wires to it for where the battery (which still hasn’t arrived) will go. (I’m using a slightly smaller 1600mah lipo I already had for testing!) Sensors (again) I actually had to wire up the sensors to the ESP32 now which was also very fiddly but I managed to get there in the end. Firmware! Flashing firmware I took the code right from the github repo and compiled it in ESPhome and.. it worked!! Firmware changes I wanted to change some things, like: The VOC’s wouldn’t read because they took 80-90s to initialise, so every 10mins it’ll stay awake for an extra 30s to get a VOC reading. NOW IT FINALLY WORKS!! I’m gonna change more stuff with the firmware tomorrow, like adding the time (as I promised) and making the e-ink look cooler!

I fixed this and updated the repo. Need. More. Spaceee! As my font was quite big (20px) and extrabold, it would of taken up a lot of space on the display.

(I also added M2.5 screws to the BOM as 4 are needed for the front plate)
Wrote the README! I pride myself on my READMEs and find them really fun to write! It’s fully fledged with a detailed feature list, pictures, E-ink explanations, information about all of the components and more! Go read it at https://github.com/wjmlewis/AirLog-E !!
Fixed Issues! After shipping and my project getting reviewed, there were a few issues! Glyphs Glyphs tell the display what each character should look like. I added the degrees symbol (°) to the glyphs part in the code but I hadn’t realised you had to put every character you used in there otherwise the only thing the e-Ink would display would be the degrees symbol! I fixed this and updated the repo. Need. More. Spaceee! As my font was quite big (20px) and extrabold, it would of taken up a lot of space on the display. In the new version, I made the font size smaller (to 18px) and gave humidity its own line on the screen. This hopefully will fit with space to spare! This was pushed to the GitHub repo too. That’s it! I’m going to ship again now, and hopefully in the next devlog, I have my hands on the parts!!
Fixed Issues (again!) My project was reviewed again, and I needed to fix a few things! Step files… I hadn’t included the .step files into the github repo, so now they’re there so the enclosure can be easily edited in any editor! README.md tweaks I made a ‘How did I make this?’ subheading which explains how I created the enclosure in fusion360. I also added a few bits to ‘How can I replicate this?’ like: Where you can run a Home Assistant instance How you can assemble the device using the included 3D files That’s it! Reshipping now!!
Built it! The parts have slowly arrived over the last week and the only thing I was missing was the 2000mah LiPo battery, but I couldn’t wait, so I started building AirLog-E today! Building! I’ll go in order of how I built it! 3D Printing… First, I 3D printed my enclosure which was super easy using the 3 included .3mf files! E-Ink Display I next used M2.5 Screws to screw the e-ink display into the main section along with the front plate. The cables from the display were super long so I cut those to a shorter length in preparation for the next steps. Sensors Then I screwed the 2 environment sensors into the enclosure. Heatset Inserts Next were the 4 M3 heatset inserts which go into the main section (these were super satisfying to install) First bit of soldering I now had to solder all 8 pins from the display to the ESP32-c6 which was very fiddly! I was also going along with a multimeter to check every connection after every new joint. Charging I wired up the TP4056 module to the ESP32’s BAT + and BAT - pads and attached the 2 wires to it for where the battery (which still hasn’t arrived) will go. (I’m using a slightly smaller 1600mah lipo I already had for testing!) Sensors (again) I actually had to wire up the sensors to the ESP32 now which was also very fiddly but I managed to get there in the end. Firmware! Flashing firmware I took the code right from the github repo and compiled it in ESPhome and.. it worked!! Firmware changes I wanted to change some things, like: The VOC’s wouldn’t read because they took 80-90s to initialise, so every 10mins it’ll stay awake for an extra 30s to get a VOC reading. NOW IT FINALLY WORKS!! I’m gonna change more stuff with the firmware tomorrow, like adding the time (as I promised) and making the e-ink look cooler! (I’ll also need to add in the battery when it arrives and glue in the TP4056)...

I’ve learned Java, so coding in C# wasn’t too bad, it just took me a bit to figure out how Unity works. After that, I was smooth sailing besides for issues with the jump mechanic (very important for a platformer ik but the plinko level interfered with it and caused some jumps to not register), the plinko mechanic itself, the snow falling and dissipating when it hits an object, and figuring out how to use the canvas/camera/lighting mechanics. But once I figured out the basics, I was pretty much set ❤️🔥 FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED also heres a video of me “speedrunning the whole game” (theres ur playthrough i wanted to attach it here but it wouldnt let me): https://vimeo.com/1236899085?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci (srry for the bad quality its a screen recording go play it yourself 🥹)", "repo": "https://github.com/Avi823/first2dgame", "demo": "https://nova-23.itch.io/smooshed"}]...

To reach it, you have to stay smooshed while doing all of level 3 and then instead of entering the blue portal go under to the white portal. (The portal isn’t white btw i created an animation for it where it glitches in place [changing colors + vibrating around sporatically]). And it leads to… . I was bored OK so i added the EGG ROOM (where normally you can get an egg in deltarune).

added portal colors, moving platforms, and smooshing (as a game feature kinda looks like a bug rn but im going to fix it) So for smooshing you need to be pushed into the ground or a wall by a moving platform in order to become taller or shorter. This will allow you to fit into certain areas and access new areas that you previously could not access. Still fixing it though.
Smoosh physics
Created sprite, added music (rn its just https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIkkW55bu_k ) and will add sprite to game later (im bad at drawing if you were wondering why it took so long )
Alr SO i added my sprites for the player (still need to fix the issue with it still being a ball in the beginning). I have also added a loading screen, and added torque for fun spinning :D (next thing to do is probably make custom sprites for ground background that stuff, make all the sprites look better 😭 + fix starting scale)
Added a tutorial and a dialogue box (the person is just my pfp for now, but will change later) also created dialogue triggers + animated text. Now gonna do the first lvl and add the dialogue for portals (and maybe a new mechanic or fix dashing cuz rn its kinda unnecessary) also that thing at the top is just my cursor

I hate walls. They laugh at me as i fall into the void, phasing through them . Alr well I’ve been drawing sprites and implementing them!!! At least the ground is nice it lets me walk on it first try . The walls however decided to add a bunch of funny little tiny holes in them so that the player can just barely walk through and slip into the void. I fixed this (finally 😭) and (now having the basic sprites) will add more levels in the future 🥹 (still gotta get rid of the copyrighted music. oh well something for later ) also fixed some scaling issues with the tutorial dude!!!
I was bored so uhhh heres what i did Levels 3 and 4 (Level 3 is a normal level but does have a secret area ) and level 4 is a dropper For now, level 4s kinda rudimentary (im planning on changing some of the shapes around and add custom sprites for those spikes as well cuz its boring rn) But the secret area is pretty cool (it has hidden dialogue as well by the way). To reach it, you have to stay smooshed while doing all of level 3 and then instead of entering the blue portal go under to the white portal. (The portal isn’t white btw i created an animation for it where it glitches in place [changing colors + vibrating around sporatically]). And it leads to… . I was bored OK so i added the EGG ROOM (where normally you can get an egg in deltarune). Also made it the animated tree and everything and added music triggers for new areas and stuff (so for now its just the actual egg room music). And i really want to keep this reference (i really do ) but uh this is also copyrighted so im prob gonna replace it with some non copyrighted tree thats similar to this and change the music as well (i dont want to compose the music cuz thatll take me WAY too long ) so ill keep it in for now but its not gonna make the final cut unfortunately ill just be a reference to the room and not like the actual room sprites and what not (cuz i also dont want to use his art in my game so itll just be a placeholder ig ). Also added a volume slider just in case you wanted to mute the music or smthn .
im a buku buku RAHHH 🥹 well its been a while…so uh lemme show u what ive been working on added a more simple level 5 (after that scary dropper which might be the hardest level rn ) might add more filler levels between the bigger levels so theres more build up now the main thing,uhhh i lowkey turned one of the levels into plinko i was bored ok. its still a wip (might add a custom sprite for the plinko pegs feels wrong to just use the wall texture) but it works !!! Your camera swaps over to the other sprite (which is just a plinko ball) and the aim is to simply drop it into the portal to get to the next level its very cool trust me . and then probably a final (if not the final level) its a giant tower ! (bit scary but should be alr!) now…whats next? so prob gonna add more of em filler levels, add a ending screen, r key for resetting to last checkpoint + last timestate (for plinko ) and more dialogue. also gonna find a new background music task still havent gotten around to it. See yall later ❤️🔥
well well well. its time to ship (soon)… but uh heres what i did… i changed it to night and added snow (looks yellow/golden right now might have to change). very cool ik to make sure you can still see i added lanterns (which i did not draw all these sprites i got em from https://karsiori.itch.io/free-pixel-art-lantern-pack [pretty cool btw they work nicely and everything is already formatted into individual pngs + no background 🥹]) i also fixed that plinko level so that the ball you drop actually bounces off the plinko pieces and once it hits the portal you teleport to the final level, i fixed the final level up as well, and added three levels in between the dropper and plinko that teach you how to dash!!! (c to dash it will help A LOT especially for the final level ) also, rn one part of the final level requires you to run into the wall and sort of hook onto the side, then dash onto the platform? (i didnt add sliding down walls yet so i feel like i can kinda keep this wall jump feature lowkey ) well, gonna add those lanterns later and then ill ship probably ❤️🔥 what if i just add deltarune references everywhere 😭 (i have one already )
SOOOO ITS TIME TO SHIP YAYYYYY: Finishing Touches: Changed the background music out, fixed the final level up, added a win area, put it on itch.io ( https://nova-23.itch.io/smooshed ) (loading screen kinda sucks 😔) Also, fixed the lighting problem and the lanterns, making the lanterns sort of act as guides and added some more dialogue. (IGNORE THE GIANT SLIDER WHEN U HIT PLAY IT LOOKS SMALL I PROMISE )
Ships:
Welcome to Smooshed! This is a platformer (and my first game) using Unity! BEST PLAYED IN FULLSCREEN How to Play: Movement: Arrow Keys or WASD (with either w, up arrow, or the space bar to jump) T to revert to the last checkpoint R to revert smoosh state C to dash P to pause What is it: You play as a ball (but a cool ball trust me) and are navigating through a dark, winter landscape to reach the end (the goal). However, you are graced with one power, and one power only: The Power to Be Smooshed 😭. Essentially, by getting hit into a wall by moving platforms, you can become either shorter or taller, letting you fit into gaps or inaccessible areas. Credits for assets: Lanterns - https://www.vecteezy.com/png/72636919-pixel-art-lantern-with-soft-glow and https://karsiori.itch.io/free-pixel-art-lantern-pack Music - https://pixabay.com/music/small-drama-background-piano-loop-589657/ Images that I did not draw - uhhh Toby Fox for the tree and my pfp 🥹 https://ca.pinterest.com/pin/915638168004709266/ CHALLENGES: THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER GAME (aside for scratch) so it was a hard but I did learn a lot. I’ve learned Java, so coding in C# wasn’t too bad, it just took me a bit to figure out how Unity works. After that, I was smooth sailing besides for issues with the jump mechanic (very important for a platformer ik but the plinko level interfered with it and caused some jumps to not register), the plinko mechanic itself, the snow falling and dissipating when it hits an object, and figuring out how to use the canvas/camera/lighting mechanics. But once I figured out the basics, I was pretty much set ❤️🔥 FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED also heres a video of me “speedrunning the whole game” (theres ur playthrough i wanted to attach it here but it wouldnt let me): https://vimeo.com/1236899085?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci (srry for the bad quality its a screen recording go play it yourself 🥹)...

Thus, some barriers are literally invincible because it is impossible to break through them no matter how well the player performs. The charge speed also varied from “almost 7 seconds” to “instant charging”, leading to different results every time. I have put all the variables related to gameplay in one line, so the process of making the game better became much easier.## Highest score The top score is stored in a small file, which allows it to persist even after you exit the game. The welcome screen displays the score, and if you lose, it says “NEW HIGH SCORE!” on the game over screen. The record is present in the repository, so my score won’t overwrite anybody else’s. Sound for everything The ghost, answers in trivia, and entangled transfers didn’t have any sounds. I have added sounds: a sound of the ghost appearing with a whoosh, a sound of a correct answer rising in pitch, the sound of a wrong answer producing low frequency buzz, and a beep sound of a partner barrier charging. All sounds are produced in code without using audio files. Schrödinger boxes A few boxes marked as ? are placed between walls. When you click on one box with the help of the button E , it determines what is inside. When you click on the box, the result of what is inside the box is set randomly, which can be either +5 seconds, -4 seconds, or charge for the next wall. Every time a level appears, each box can exist with the probability of 60%.## My ship has been returned. The review indicated that my GitHub release did not include an executable file, therefore voters were unable to play the game. That’s true that a .py file is not considered a game by anyone who does not have Python installed.

This sprint has completely redesigned the game dynamics. Walls that block Before this point players have only walked through barriers as there was no penalty for tunneling. Now the player collides with walls. If you want to pass the wall, you must use tunneling which will cost you some time and potentially break your chain. Entanglement that works My previous iteration of entangled pairs was useless. It only changed the level of difficulty of the partner. With solid walls the simulation did not vary on every run and many pairs did the same thing. Therefore I had to write it again. the barriers of the same shape are paired randomly during every run when you free a barrier at any point of charge the partner barrier inherits that charge . Mirror pairs have the same charge and their partners receive it as well.-The observer lock does not send anything to the partner as forced collapse does not provide any signal. So the order in which you pair now becomes an important decision to make. The secret is stored in a non-versioned .env file, which has a .env.example alongside in the repository. Now the splash screen features an animated “asking Groq…” message that only goes away once the actual answer provided. ## Quantum phantom The phantom version of the player appears at a random location, moves through the walls in your direction. The passed wall receives a slight charge. This idea stemmed from ChatGPT, although the first version worked infrequently because it required the ghost to be only up to 24x away from the center of the wall. However, walls can be as wide as 140px, so I made changes to the spawning position of the ghost. The failure of watching seems different now Now watching an obstacle and failing does not shake the screen as before. A light freezing-blue light appears instead of shaking the screen since the failure is actually caused by you.## Bugs that caused me trouble The ghost class malfunctioned in three different ways: one instance is code at a class level, where there’s no self , second is using camera.x instead of camera_x and third is missing out .choice from random([-1, 1]) . I misspelled the name of the environment variable with GRQO_API_KEY , causing the game to return “no key found” no matter what action was taken. The title screen was stuck on “checking” forever, as the timer never progressed during that time. Finally, I experienced a fallback trivia answer being set to index 0, which was incorrect. There was a bug when restarting, as the barrier I was standing on before the timer ran out persisted through the next run.

The only problem is that if you look at the wall, it means that it has already turned into a wall, so you cannot succeed anyway.

I went ahead and created a game called Doraemon’s Quantum Tunnel, which incorporates quantum tunneling into physics. When a player is close to a barrier, they must try to pass through it, using the quantum tunneling equation to calculate the ability to do so. I’ve also used two more concepts in the game: the observer effect and decoherence. Moreover, I added a five-barrier position-race, streaks, shaking visuals, audio programming, and a complete title screen. The real challenge was making sure that all these mechanisms work together in harmony. At times, I was in situations where the regular path of following procedures was working fine, while the edge cases were making the game unusable. Timers would freeze, steps would become unreachable, and variables would only be accessible on a certain execution path. I even made one ill-placed parentheses that would have completely ruined the game experience. The thing I’m most proud of is that I’ve made a game about quantum physics. But rather than just making a game based on quantum physics concepts, I meant to reflect those physics in terms of gameplay. To test it, use the arrow keys to move around, press Space to charge, O to observe, and P to restart. You should try failing on purpose, observing a barrier, and leaving it charged for too long. Additionally, we would appreciate any bug reports as all the bugs are basically my unpaid testers....

It is finally functional! After five hours of coding, along with collaborating with an amazing team, this project works! What’s coming next? I want to add a feature where all the annotations can sync with a Google Doc, to make student’s lives a bit easier!
What did I do? I updated the READ.me because the way the extension works is a little different, and then it is assumed to not work, because of it, so I wanted to add some clarification. Also, as seen in the picture, I updated the manifest to create a cool new feature! What’s next? Create a feature where the information you write can easily be transferred into a Google Doc, again, for more connivence.
What I did? Tried doing the sixth step of the guide again, but it failed, and I don’t have time today to fix it again.
What did I do? I didn’t really do much!
What did I do? I tried to fix the errors with the AI summary, because my project keeps getting rejected for different reasons!! Also unrelated, but my hackatime is glitching and I’ve lost my streak!!!
What did I do? Try to restore my sticky streak and ship a projedct that has been rejected for multiple reasons.
What did I do? Ponder why my AI summary in my extension keeps not working for others! Also, plead that my sticky streak can get restored because of that glitch.
What did I do? I’m trying to figure out how to make my project work!
What did I do? I realized I had two popup.js files, and after reviewing my project, one had been human written, troubleshooted with AI, and one had been completely human written. I deleted the AI one and chose the human one, but my features still weren’t working, so it had to be something else, but now I have a version control issue - kinda. What do I need to do next? Figure out all the branches, and how I can fix all these weird issues. Merge issues are very bad
What did I do? I fixed my file, restored it to its original version, and deleted the mess with the branch from last time. What next? Try to troubleshoot my project, either with the help of AI, or simply dissecting code I’ve never seen.
What did I do? I had two popup.js files, and I tried deleting each one to see what each of them does, and I think they are both crucial, but I figured out the one with the most importance, so now I can analyze what is missing from there and what I should be changing to make this fully functional once again!
What did I do? I’m trying to figure out what file works, and which one doesn’t to try to get all the features working
What did I do? Still not find the error :(
What did I do? With AI, I was able to adjust my define feature to make sure that it was functional. However it still isn’t completely functional, I need some minor adjustments, but I have no idea how to get started without any suggestions from AI. What’s next? I’ll ask AI which files to fix and I guess I’ll learn how to code from that!
What did I do? Recently, my chrome extension has just stopped working, ever since I finally finished it in the summer, and I don’t know why! It’s super weird and I’m trying to troubleshoot WITHOUT changing too much because I would to preserve the integrity of the project
Ships:
I, with three other people, created a chrome extension that has the ability to help students around the world! This extension, the Article Annotator, allows you to take notes, have an AI summary, define specific words, and save highlighted/annotated sentences, so that the next time you open up the article, you can see what exactly you wanted to remember! This project allows everything to happen in one tab, rather than switching between many different tabs. There are more updates that I want to create, like a sync to Google Docs for all notes to be transferred! Enjoy, students!...

Mp3 player works for both sd card and pendrive upto 128gb finished the pcb designing now case design remains
I finished designed the case for my mp3 player and then I worked on my repo by finishing the BOM and uploading all the files case pcb assets screenshots all work done for mp3 excited to get funded and make this dream come true irl in hardware
Now finally I referred to the repo of orhpeuspad by Qcoral then I used it to understand how to make a proper well aligned structured repo . Then I made a few small changes to the case of my device add some text and making an hole in the top lid of case. Finally finished cleanly with the repo with proper details BOM and the files with structures.
Spent a few hours changing the repo only to realize at end that wait the case design is totally off and the upper lid alignments needs to be changed also the text orientation how it will look when we snap the lid close . Spent a few mins then fixing the case issue then made few small additions to the repo also .
So finally the project came alive to life thanks to Hackclub Stardance that they funded me i spent around 2-3hrs soldering the joints and checking functions.

Tried to fix the missalignment but it won’t go away, but atleast now i know where’s the error
Translating Shadow’s report basically, its a detailed explanation of my project (Shadow Hunter) Here’s the list of detailed explanation (still on going) Background Initial idea Purpose and its benefit Limitations Target audience Part & tools that I use Implemented concept Designing and prototyping Testing Documentation It is not fully finished as I prewrite some of this in my own langguage and then translate it to English and also I still need to add some stuff
Shadow Hunter report you can see the update on this link and comment any suggestion!

Finishing Shadow’s model During simulation (the CAD version), all parts work as intended, and the measurements is right, ill order a 3d print of this model (only one of its leg cus its cheaper) and test it with real servo :D Parts used Body V3.4 Upper body V1.4 Thigh V1.3 Calf V2.1 Hex V1.2
Shadow’s design process before I join stardance! I included spider’s background research and what drive me into making this project :D ──────────────────────────────────────────────── Full document https://canva.link/e4f69aawnli16qy
First time using arduino IDE with hackatime This is my first time using Arduino IDE with hackatime and I’m just seeing if its work, also because its my praying time rn lol, also, I relocate files in this timelapse because when I first join stardance, I thought it doesn’t support arduino IDE time track in ubuntu And turns out, hackatime does have an extension for arduino ide in ubuntu, so now I’m relocating the file into ide that had been relocated from ide to vscode I preffer to use arduino ide as I find vscode’s AI being too helpful cus everytime I type, the AI reccomend me lines of codes and I find it hard to sharpen my coding or debugging No hate to vscode users but I just find arduino ide is less helping me and what doesn’t kill you make you stronger right?
Updating Shadow’s Model So an alternative popped in my head when I was praying for its half a leg mode lol Since folding its calf to its tigh won’t work proportionally as it require the calf to be shorter than the thigh, then I made it close up just like my initial idea but its not 100% folded inside I can see the vision where it’ll be more stable when idle such as in its monitoring/sleeping mode because its wider, and have a larger feet surface area touching the ground But to test this out, means I have to make sure a single leg is functional, so this mode will be tested in some later time In the meantime, I’ll order a print of a single leg to test it directly
Added DHT22 Temperature and Humidity Reading Well, this lines is unable to plot the data to the website hust yet, as I’m just trialing if its actually readable as a bare code with no pretty-ness
Made a Circuit Plan First picture is the one I’ve worked out on Second pic is the whole circuit plan Third pic is the simplified servo/leg circuit
Brute fixing V5 I know what’s wrong but I have school stuff in due soon, I’m stressed out, just got back from school trip, I’m going insane, I can’t do this anymore, I wanna give up school altogether, I have remedials to do, assignment to complete, exams next week, I wanna throw up So I’m brute fixing this version after assessing the printed V4 (It’s done and can be tested, only some minor bugs, also ignore the colors, I’m testing it)
Colouring! Cried my self to sleep last night to relieve my stress! I’m fine now lol I’ve tested the colour my manufacturer can print (like I said on my last devlog) and added some reinforcement to the side and the top body part because I can only make it 3mm height
Minor missalignment fixing and major reinforcement Finished adding reinforcement and added teeth/ridges and increasing the surface area of its toe so it grasp the ground better ^^
Designing the Web I’m tidying up the website code, and re-designing it (still a sketch for now)
Making the web pretty I was devastated that stardance is ending, but glad they extend it by a month, I’m tellin you, I’ll get that 30hrs certificate In the meantime, here’s the updated web interface
I can smell this project being shipped (still a wip tho) I finished adding hologram effect that highlight the when you hover your cursor over, also a button that delete the logged report and its also becomes red when you hover over it!
Lil’ Update Before Exam (yes, its 2 min before todays mid-term exam lol) I added Button flipflop si it change color corresponding to its state for ALL 4 BUTTONS Made it so that when you hover over an important div it zoomed out so its easier to read and make the background more opaque
Added a button to download the log Also the button call different function to esp32 (haven’t tested it yet but it’s there)
Web control is finished I will ship this project as now theres something for you guys to try out (I need to write the readme first) I’ve fixed the charts so now they update independantly, but I haven’t make it pretty tho, its red and looks like an error occured all the time lol imma eat my lunch first
Finished writing readme with all I’ve done for this project
Collecting and compressing shadow hunter’s body part I know it sounds bizzare, but I want to keep all of its past developement and share it with you guys, as a token of appreacitaion to my old self, to prove him that our CAD skill is improving
Configuring the web and it worked! I used my ancient code from old project… I called it ancient because I’ve forgotten how it works
ERORRRRRRRRRRRRRS
Not resolved yet. Soooooooooooo basically I know that its delivering a set of data… empty data…. It’s late now, imma do it tomorrow (no school in monday due to mid-term test has finished for my year lol)
Configuring sound data to my webb I first added an averaging function but I found that deleting data from x to -x works better in stabilizing data given x = Real number
Correcting the size of ESP32S3 slot I also added space for INMP441, DHT22, and MQ-135
idk whats wrong I was trying to code DHT22 (temp) but INMP441 (audio) just suddenly stop working, like, all of the sudden, I’m gonna go back to square one in weekend, and try to build it from beginning…
assembling charger module and gluing all the parts
2 DoF Inverse Kinematics tried it, theoretically works, practically nope
Codes for vibration sensor
#YAYA it works
Organizing Just putting vibration sensing codes in their designated files
ALL WORKDDEJIAFIAWNCWANAWUIBVHAHAHAHAH every sensor work but it get too big to handle when i activate 4 of them simoultaneously
Ships:
xX_Shadow_Hunter_Xx is a silly robot name made and designed by me, well for know, the only function it does (for now) is the sound sensor which I won’t showcase in this ship What I want to showcase is the website control pannel Everything you need to know is in the readme file in this projects github repo This is the youtube link for this projects introduction (but sadly I’ve got no time to continue YouTube serously) https://youtu.be/HKpWddRkjdQ?si=jfRWhwc86oJqWMqU...

I built an entire OCEAN inside your browser, scroll down and you’re literally diving — deeper water, real fish, glowing coral, and our lil guardian robot cleaning trash off the seafloor 🤣. no video, no images, just live 3D running at 60fps. took 1 month, 42 commits, and my whole sleep schedule. hustlenix.github.io/aquaguardian and here is a random AI image on it on how we are assuming it should work and look like.
hour 2 of “i have no plan i just opened the laptop” 💻no new feature, no bug to fix, just poking at AquaGuardian because i missed it lol. tweaked some lighting, stared at the robot for a solid 10 min like it owes me money, probably broke something i won’t notice till 2am. that’s the whole update. sometimes you code for a reason, sometimes you just code hustlenix.github.io/aquaguardian 🤖
Just a normal day continuously verifing changes that don’t break the project😅😭.
Tried something new, Today i tried to add some new 3D objects to make it evn cooler, changed the background for oceanic blue, and programmed a robot that is tryna simulate our robot that we are gonna build
I just changed the background and to stimulate our real hardware project I have added some crap to clean up, and also a robot to clean up the crap
Simulating the physical robot before we build it! We’re building a physical ocean-cleaning robot for a hackathon, but testing hardware mechanics in real water takes time.

He himself said that the firmware is very buggy but works, even the auth with the framework fingerprint sensor he planed for this project; one quote: never change a running system AHHHH (for me) while he was doing that (after like 20 min) i thought id optimise our workflow by heading downstairs and soldering the second of 2 keyboards. I was down there for 1h30min alone, with my headphones, they screamed a mix of katy perry, radiohead, linkin park and german rap into my ears, letting me completely focus on soldering (the first image shows me in the basement after like 70 min) the only big mistake while being so focused (frfr) i soldered the hotswapsocket for the backspace key in the wrong way, without noticing this became later called the ### forwoardtime ### (which later let us to resolder that piece while being only held alive by 2 energy drinks and no sleep at all making it a backspace again (yeee). the last thing left was testing both keyboards (ofc without keycaps bc why would we) (thats image 2) and everything worked out fine after the backspace was fixed. So we can finally say that Maxi and a friend of ours ( @Chroma ) have a custom keyboard designed by maxi (and the case by chroma) and built by sleepdeprived us. yeeeeeeeee

I have finally finished the first version of the drivetrain. Right now it has a 1:4 gear reduction, connected to a 1:3 belt reduction on a 5800rpm motor for a 483 rpm final rpm on a 104mm wheel. The entire setup is on dead axles, with heavily reinforced side plates. I also ensured to optimize space as much as possible which meant organizing both gear trains and the motors in order to maximize space.
Worked a lot on the turret part, created bearing stacks based off a reference, and started on the shooter. It’s really hard to get the compression and spacings right because there’s a lot of dead zone in the turret bearing stack and the shooter wheel also takes up a lot of space. I also want to try out different things, which will take a bit of time to model.
Finished most of the pollen turret assembly and got it on the robot a bit.
Worked on master sketch and attaching turret
worked more on finishing the drivetrain and assembling major sub assemblies
Had to do lots of redesigns because Fusion apparently hates me. When I update a really big subassembly, I can’t move it back in the timeline far enough so all the features before that update get broken from the projections and the dimensions and stuff. I’ve had to restart twice now. I’ve gotten much better at creating big subassemblies so that it’s much easier to assemble it big piece by piece, but it is still taking a lot of effort.

I think ive finalized the index design, i updated all the driver components for it, and the geometry is okay. I also got started on the turret hood design
I worked on the turret more and optimized+printed the index
did a lot of work to link things together and ensure functionality and reliability
even more cad, did electronics so almost done
I had to redesign so much of the turret after testing, i changed the compression from 4 to 3 back to 4mm, and then im now running it 1:1 with the motor. I think this will create a pretty big torque on the bearing stack but we’ll see how it holds up. I also found a new way to constrain the outer bearings which works really well...

seems that I can’t fix the atmos download issue : ( but time to rebuild this project, I just made a TODO list
All preparatory work for the refactoring has been completed. Thanks to DeepSeek for sorting out this “spaghetti code.”
Rebuild starting now!!! I’m using flutter for fronted FastAPI for backend
I have completed the API construction; in this phase, I encapsulated all of gamdl’s parameters—aligning them with the definitions in core_downloader.py —into a unified API. Next up is learning Flutter for the frontend.
I ultimately gave up on using Flutter for frontend development; it was simply too difficult. Instead, I am using Next.js combined with pywebview to build the desktop frontend.
Remove Windows-specific GUI components and associated files from the project, including CMake configurations, resource files, and source code for the Flutter window implementation. This cleanup streamlines the project structure and eliminates unnecessary dependencies for non-Windows platforms.
Successful integration of the front-end and back-end.
I felt this didn’t quite meet my aesthetic standards for the sidebar, so I decided to use Figma to design the UI.
The interface is ready to use!
All the rebuild work is complete; it’s time to open the PR.
workflow currently running!!!
