Created the back-end successfully, post and fetch features are working using MongoDB
Basic front end is now loading up, phew after a lot of errors I managed to make the map show up yay
The logging system now works with the map heckyeahh!
I made it a little more visually aesthetic, I like how it looks!, let me know if I can improve somewhere
Added a sidebar and a little car š
Added user authentication using clerk, so that only you can edit your entries!
Added two things. First - A user name system so that your email id is private Second - A bad words filter which is, much needed to keep it friendly
Added a little quote thing on the side, with an animated cat emoji too (it blinks)
Added a feature so that you can explore the world as a guest too, without logging in.
Added dark mode
Ships:
I wanted to make this since months but i finally took this event as an opportunity to bring this project to life!, here people can add notes and journals at different locations on the map to create memories, i will keep updating it even after it is shipped to make sure it works nicely!
Version 2 of the project After the ship 1 reviews and requests i added the following Dark mode for the map. (toggle button) Guest Mode to explore the website without logging in. Added a negativity filter to avoid unwanted comments. Added a time delay of 3 minutes between each post....

I worked on adding a mascot to the app, just like Duo in Duolingo; or Koi in Brilliant. So im between adding a gargoyle or a padlock.

I will keep working on them and then i will show the progress made.
I worked on getting the Mascot for the app and decided for the good cop, bad cop and i also worked on a UI more similar to Duolingoās and Brilliantās and i change the palette for the app so its easier to change and more equal all around the app
I worked on finishing the Gargoyle (bad cop) and its now looking pretty good, and i had to redo all of the body because it looked like it was drawn by a 3 year old. But now its looking amazing for being my first project on Adobe Illustrator.
did lots of work in this 5 hours, i just dont remember what exacly i did.
I made the scenario models, data (over 30k emails can be generated), grading algorythm, and scenario UI. And the project is due on 3 weeks and i have so much stuff to doooooooo.
I finished the grading engine (it had a critical bug), made a course engine and got some friends to make courses, and i made some sick animations in the thing (video below) and it looks good but i also did something with vs code and now it the run button doesnt work and now i have to run it from the terminal
I finished the course engine, xp systems and everythign tah needed finishing with the exception of minigames. But i had like 4 hours that didnt go through because my school laptop broke and then they gave me an loan, so i needed to reinstall everything then some days later they gave me my laptop back WIPED so i had to reinstall everything again and i tried redoing the mascot on RIVE but sadly i suck at designing and it took me 4 hours to make a new mascot that didnt work so just bad stuff happening and the app is due in 4 days and i still have so much stuff to do, so yes im gonna pull all nighters for the next 4 days. and i also reached my first 100 hours in hackatime.
ye7eyeyyeyeyeye. I finally finished and its looking decent, its got 3 minigames and it is just good stuff. One of the minigames are one URL detector, matching pairs, and a priority thingy sorter.

UPDATE #5 fixed bugs: checkmate didnt work (again) when king is in check the square didnt light red move log overflowed when filling up so i added a scroll feature added features/changes: promotion gui is now like chess.com and vertical move log is striped and alternates colors for each row board markings for the rows and columns things needed before shipping: optimization, still runs at like 45fps on itch.io sound effects maybe change fonts cuz im using default ugly ones draw/resign icons instead of text click and drag to move piece better sprites for pieces (BUG) canāt move a different piece after selecting one (BUG) draw conditions are broken (BUG) sidebar buttons are broken even though they dont do anything (BUG) when looking back in the move log when the king is in check the square stays red
UPDATE #6 fixed bugs: all game end conditions were broken move log scrollbar didnāt appear on pawn promotion move log didnt use proper notation canceling pawn promotion didnt undo move log canceling pawn promotion capture didnt undo capture when going back in move log, if there was a check the square didnt light red couldnāt change piece to move after selecting a piece added features/changes: promotion menu is inline column added sfx better sprites for pieces draw and resign buttons now use icons move log text now uses the Audiowide regular fond massive code restructure things needed for shipping: optimization, didnāt optimize since last devlog maybe learn WHAT DA HAIL bitboards are to optimize yk click and drag to move piece pieces flicker for a frame when transitioning from animation to static on the board
UPDATE #7 i wanna have the time logged for shipping but basically all i did was change some file formats for web assembly and turned down the resolution so that it would automatically scale so that itās playable. Iām currently in the process of converting the game from pygame to c++ raylib since i know c++ already and c++ is better for WASM thats about ittttttttt live ver: https://thestarviper.itch.io/chess-engine
UPDATE #8 This version is not live yet as there are a few bugs that need fixing still as the port from python introduced alot. Some things i liked about porting from python to c++ is that i was able to fine tune things more and use namespaces which i like. ENUMs are also a feature i like. changes/added features Updated graphics to use pieces from itchio 50 move rule counter under game log (i plan to make it togglable) says whos turn it is to play in top right ontop of the highlighting changed entire game to pixelart because i found some assets on itchio that i thought looked really nice things needed for next ship going to add a sidebar on the left side instead of the right side add sound effects back add a background click and drag to move piece animation issues fold repetition counter under move log make itchio page look better next devlog should be when i update the itchio page and other stuff also i spent closer to 15-16 hours on this cuz it includes the last devlog
UPDATE #9 I presented my changes in the stardance slack and was able to get some new ideas like adding a theme switcher. I added the leaves cuz i thought it would add to the theme and then after seeing the leaves, they looked very interactable so i made them interactable. idk thats about it changes/added features leaves on outside of board leaves enlarge on hover for fidgeting i guess idk its fun tho made move log more narrow to fit a sidebar on the left added a 3 fold repetition warning that appears after 2x repetition (make togglable) added a background i got from itchio made hover dots enlarge on hover again fixed animation issues changed board markers to inside the board like originally in python updated itchio page things before next ship add sound effects back click and drag to move piece add sidebar
UPDATE #10 added features/changes added a sidebar added a settings page with the ability to toggle 50 move counter,3 fold counter,board markings with more settings to come like high contrast and animation speed added a makefile to compile code to test instead of running a bunch of commands back to back added puzzles to the puzzle tab pulls random puzzle out of a csv things before next ship more sfx click and drag to move piece sfx plays infinitely on hovers randomize leaves placements menu transitions polish puzzles page and get rid of bugs general ideas theme switcher animation speed control move clock In this update i messed up my codebase so massively bad trying to refactor the code so alot of my time was fixing the nuke i dropped into my codebase. uhhh one of the big bugs i had to squash before this that took eternity was playing sound effects would just crash the game. It turned out the reason was i didnt add the compile flag to my makefile causing the audio mixer to crash the game. After that i added sound effects back in and then started to work on puzzles. for puzzles i took the lichess puzzle database of 6m puzzles and condensed it down to 100k for file space. I pull a random row from this file to create the puzzle and it kinda works but its still in progress.
Update #11 Added Features added puzzle side menu added puzzle streak counter skip retry hint puzzle buttons sucess rate puzzle counter sound effect for hovering button puzzles are basically done Fixed Bugs 3 fold occured in puzzle mode if you made the same wrong move 3 times same thing with 50 move rule as 3 fold puzzle would start with you instead of the computer swaps turn on failed move animations didnāt work in puzzles fixed you can select the opponentās pieces in the puzzle during animation if you hit a frameperfect from the animation finishing on the puzzle screen and switch to the game screen it moves the piece in the game screen if there was a piece on the starting tile same bug with next puzzle button leaves sfx looped infinitely Smart Bool I added a new datatype to make my life easier called a smartbool, this is basically a boolean with a third state called NewTrue which is only true for the first cycle the boolean is updated to true. This boolean is useful for when you want to play a sound effect on hover but if you use a traditional boolean it will play every frame. you can use it like a normal boolean too like smartbool = true; or if (smartbool){} . But this new datatype makes the code easier to understand for me. struct smartbool { enum State { False, NewTrue, True }; State state = False; void operator=(bool value) {this->set(value);} operator bool() const {return state != False; } bool is_new_true() const { return state == NewTrue; } void set(bool value) { if (value) { if (state == False) state = NewTrue; } else { state = False; } } void update() { if (state == NewTrue) { state = True; } } }; Future Ideas clock bots variants more moving graphics/sfx randomize leaves on borders menu transitions (maybe) finish polishing puzzles (pretty much done)
UPDATE #12 added features added variants support added giveaway chess added duckchess (kinda) added the start of a play screen, still working on it not much yet added easing functions to some visuals so they appear instead of popping in fixed bugs/cleanup (like 50% of this devlog) split code back into multiple files fixed that puzzle code was directly in frame update loop tons of crash fixes todo with variants and puzzles animation broke on variants draw legal moves didnāt work on custom pieces future ideas clock bots particle system effects screen shake randomize leaves menu transitions i was mainly struggling to fix crash bugs this devlog as there were multiple that i had to fix, most notably there was a crash bug when swapping between the game and puzzle menus, and loading a new ruleset for variants. My current plan now is to finish the create game screen, then work on fixing the last duckchess bugs, programming a bot then variants + polish. I may ship again if i get a chance before i finish this though. Screenshot here shots duckchess in action but I made the duck sprite using AI just so weāre clear about that because i am bad at art.
UPDATE #13 This is the last update before i ship So basically this was just the last update for this project cuz i decided i would start work on a different project, the changes i made this update are just to get ready to ship and complete the project: removed fps counter removed openings and play menu removed variants from selection as they arent polished enough removed misc debug features audio bug fixed on button hovers audio bug fixed on puzzle win
Ships:
I made a chess game where you locally 1v1 someone with a move log to see move history and all the special rules/draw conditions like 50 move rule, 3 fold, insufficient material, castling, enpessent. It was challenging doing the historical move rendering because you have to keep track of all the previous board positions and the checks and square highlights Im proud of the move log because its cool yall should know that itās low res cuz itās not that efficient and uses pygame and am working on a re-release utilizing raylib for more proformance
I made a chess engine in raylib with puzzle functionality and a movelog with a nature theme. Migrating from pygame to raylib was a big challenge that took me a while to fix all the kinks. idk the leaves are hoverable for a cool fidget thing and have fun!...

I decided to start off Stardance by coding a pen-and-paper strategy game that I loved playing as a child: Dots (aka Kropki or Tochki). First, I created a grid layout and implemented the ability to place dots.
Implemented the dot-capturing algorithm. A dot is captured when it is completely surrounded by opponentsā dots. This turned out to be much more complicated than expected.
Significantly increased the precision of the dot-capturing algorithm and added a scoreboard.
Lost against my little sister TWICE
Fully separated the game logic from the Pygame graphical interface. I am now considering making a web version of the game using Django
Implemented the ability to have more than 2 players! This is not part of the classical game rules but I found this variation to be very fun to play. Currently it supports up to 6 players. Implementing this functionality required me to change the way players are handled which made the code clearer.
I got inspired by Sebastian Lagueās series on Chess engines so I decided to create my own engine but for Dots. I implemented the Minimax algorithm with Alpha-beta pruning which is often used in Chess bots. It is worth mentioning that despite itās simple nature, the computational complexity of a dots engine is WAY higher than that of a chess engine: there are about 10^40 possible positions in chess compared to 10^120 in Dots. Furthermore, there is very little documentation on Dots engines, except for one article from 2002. The image attached is a game between a depth 2 and a depth 4 engine.
Added a few menus to make launching the game more straightforward. Also included a short guide.
Worked on the readme file and polished the game for its first ship!
Iāve been wanting to learn how to use Blender for quite a while which is why I decided to make an icon for Dots using this software. I found it quite complicated a first but quickly learnt the basics of how it works. Choosing the right shades of red and blue took quite a lot of time.

Turns out I was checking every step that the ray moves (which is about 250) for 20 rays (5000 checks) for each wall (if its 10 walls, that is 50000 checks) which is very hardware expensive. I solved it by just doing one check per ray by firing the ray and checking it once (for those same stats above with this new method, it is 200 checks WHICH IS HUGE!!!). And that means that the is near no limit on how long the rays are. And now the games the engine makes are a smooth 60fps (uncapped is roughly 175-200fps) and before with the same map and settings it was 7-30fps. The engine will default the ray count to 30 with a ray dist of 500. I have also started working on the .cy script (top right pic) to make life easier doing coding for the engine to make your game. Right now it only looks for player.cy but I will have it load all in the scripts folder. The IDE that I am working on for this now can load and save files, it loads what words to be in color by loading a .json file, and you can scroll. My next steps are to work on the scripts and figure out objects/sprites (2d objects in a 3d world, look up Wolfenstein 3D to see what I mean). I also need to update my website to include documentation on how to use this engine ( https://cybrock9000.github.io/CyberWolfGames/index.html ). I would like to also polish up the engine too by making it more satisfying in some areas and also add button mappings to the map grid.

I have been working offline quite a bit and done quite a bit: option to enable darkness in the engine a vignette will draw when there is darkness there is now a sky (using the gross webp format for being a small file size) there is now a simple hud simple gravity jumping and crouching other tiny things still under 1.44mb if you are interested in more, plz visit here: https://cybrock9000.github.io/CyberWolfGames/index.html I wont be posting that much because of my internet being out but i am still working on both projects :)
So its been a while since my last devlog and I have done not that much (I was busy and burned out), so Im going to talk. I have created a custom code editor that just handles the basics so far. Like: Writing stuff, multi line stuff, custom color pallets for fun and saving. This new IDE will help program in the custom programing language (when I get to that point). I need to figure out how to make the 3d rendering faster because right now it runs on an average 17-30fps (with no cap) when its near some walls. I am happy if it stayed at 30, but sometimes it drops to 7. Im thinking on executing this by some way of multithreading/multiprocessing or find a more optimized way to do the raycasting (which just checks to see if you are looking at a wall). One of the things that I am really stuck on though is putting the 2d sprites/objects/npcs into a 3d world. I have an idea on how to do it but putting it into code is tough. But even though I have a lot to do, Its still under 1.44mb
I HAVE FIGGURED IT OUT!!! I HAVE MADE THE RENDERING FAST!!! Turns out I was checking every step that the ray moves (which is about 250) for 20 rays (5000 checks) for each wall (if its 10 walls, that is 50000 checks) which is very hardware expensive. I solved it by just doing one check per ray by firing the ray and checking it once (for those same stats above with this new method, it is 200 checks WHICH IS HUGE!!!). And that means that the is near no limit on how long the rays are. And now the games the engine makes are a smooth 60fps (uncapped is roughly 175-200fps) and before with the same map and settings it was 7-30fps. The engine will default the ray count to 30 with a ray dist of 500. I have also started working on the .cy script (top right pic) to make life easier doing coding for the engine to make your game. Right now it only looks for player.cy but I will have it load all in the scripts folder. The IDE that I am working on for this now can load and save files, it loads what words to be in color by loading a .json file, and you can scroll. My next steps are to work on the scripts and figure out objects/sprites (2d objects in a 3d world, look up Wolfenstein 3D to see what I mean). I also need to update my website to include documentation on how to use this engine ( https://cybrock9000.github.io/CyberWolfGames/index.html ). I would like to also polish up the engine too by making it more satisfying in some areas and also add button mappings to the map grid. With all that said, I am really happy on where this is going and I am still happy to say that this is still under 1.44mb :). -Cy
I have not been working on these projects in a while because I found out that Terraria exists but today I have spent many hours working on both projects. Things I have done today: I finally started working on the NPC `s (It works, and I had to look WAY back to my old raycaster on scratch to figure it out lol), More stuff with the scripts (for the npc), Doom like hand (that bobs when you move), Done a alternative way to test the game your making without future problems (hopefully), Object/NPC panel (buttons dont work yet),Still under 1.44mb :) . Things I am going to do: Finish NPC, Fix some problems with the IDE, NPC Waypoints (Inspired by NZ:P), Audio scripting (so you can call when a sound should be played), Maybe NPC collision, Weapons/Tools support, Possible flooring/ceiling and more of the 3rd dimension instead of the raycaster feel (this is not a raycaster), Ingame guis, Win function, Keep this below 1.44mb, try to figure out how to use the formatting stuff on this website to make this look good. More development stuff here (might need to be updated): https://cybrock9000.github.io/CyberWolfGames/engine.html
I honestly dont remember what I did the other day except that I made the npc disappear behind walls and some y pos stuff with the npc
I have added some stuff that is major. I have added FLOORS!!!!!! Using the same type of code for the walls but a little different, we can get ourselves some floors. I also added a toggle to swap between adding floors and walls (that W button) and you can see the floors behind the walls in the grid. The floors are slightly optimized to disappear if they are far too. They also support darkness. NPCs also got some stuff done too. they can move toward the player (and phase through walls) and there can be multiple NPCs.
Today is the day I realized I had to lock in in order to get the stuff I want. So, I have done quite a bit in that case like: The floor darkness is fixed, NPCs can be pickup items (kinda, only the gun is supported), very basic tool/weapon support, shooting with the gun and having it detect NPCs, starting the documentation page, lots of stuff behind the scenes like moving the map around with WASD, and a measuring tool for the map. The only problem (that bothers me because there is a lot of problems) Im having right now is the fps tanks when there is flooring. I tried to optimize it but that led nowhere. So you can disable flooring in the settings.
Ive added a a few things like ādynamicā lighting and html documentation. Ive added some keyboard controls to the engine like moving the map with wasd. I changed some buttons around a tad and the gun works and sends NPCs a message (only one right now is die, but more flexibility soon). A demo ship might be coming soon maybe.
You can now give the option to make some NPCs pushable. NPCs now have wall collision and player collision is reworked so you dont āstickā on walls anymore.
Final touchups before demo ship!!!
Ships:
I have make The Cyber Game Engine, witch is a EXTREAMLY light weight game engine made with python and pygame. This is only a demo but I feel its at a useable point even though it has its bugs (some I dont know how to fix like the blank buttons). The most challenging part was the NPCs and 3d Projection and all the little problems that add up. What I am most proud of is making this whole project under 1.44mb to make it fit on a floppy drive and actually seeing what this little project has become. People who are going to use this project, just know that there are bugs and I am planning to add more features like a main menu system and sutch....

We got art for the cave the player will enter after passing the underwater level!! š„³ @graceyd and I worked on coding a flashlight that will grow a vine to allow the player to climb it and reach the cliff! Enjoy the video š
Oh yeah, that bomb thatās not supposed to explode and yet yeets you halfway across the screen? Itās not a bugā¦ā¦itās a feature š š š
Weāve moved on to āØTHE BIG BAD BOSSāØ of our underwater level: The SEA BUNNY. @graceyd and I worked on coding the bunny @kimeowsu drew. It can shoot bullets from its fur and launch a mad dash attack you can try to dodge! Who knew bunnies were so dangerous andā¦huge? š« š§Ø š°
We got the underwater city art in by @kimeowsu !! Doesnāt it look amazing? š I worked on the scene changes, which allow the player to go back and forth between rooms. Tell me why forwards scene changes took like 10 minutes and backwards took 2 and a half hoursā¦ at least it finally works!! š„³ š
š
Dialogue and Story!! Weāve started to add the plot in the form of dialogue to our game, which we have decided to name Boba Cats! In order to get their ship fixed, the player must find brown sugar bobaā¦but at what cost?
Weāve made a lot of progress on Boba Cats! Nearly all the rooms are added and we are close to finishing up the dialogue and story line! Thanks to @kimeowsu ās amazing art and creativity and @graceyd ās awesome coding and dedication, we hope to be able to ship the first level of our game very soon, so stay tuned!
Weāve been wrapping this gameās first level up, with some fixes and tweaks here and there, and adding the final cutscenes such as the one in the video! Aandddā¦.we might be getting a soundtrack from a special someone š
As we near our final stage of completing the first world of our project, we are smoothing everything out as well as adding final touches and the last major additions such as the plant shop shown below (spoilers: it doesnāt sell you plants). Iāve smoothed out the camera movement in the miniboss arena and added a gate (as shown in the video). Iāve also had fun creating the UI for a multiple file save system and inventory! Thatās it for now!! (If weāre not counting some stuff that would be better for you to experience when you actually play the game šš)
Today has been a rush to make final touches to our game! We hoped to be able to ship it today, but in favor of more thorough testing, we will probably end up shipping it later this week (hopefully tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or - š¤ you get the idea right?) Iāve been working on the hidden pearls you can find in-game, as well as name labels to text boxes so it makes it easier for players to remember who is who! As for what the pearls doā¦Iāve taken a long time to work on that too! But you better come play our game to find out what they actually do š if you can find them in the first place, that is! A couple hours were also spent adding major dialogue changes to one of the major plot points! Weāre hoping with the new changes that the story will have more character depth and be more memorable for players! Thatās it for now ~
Quick devlog before shipping!! @graceyd and I had our sisters test the game, and weāve been working on fixing some bugs this past week! File saving should be fixed now, as well as some issues with the miniboss and other minor visual bugs! Hope you enjoy the game! Ship coming right up ā>
Ships:
Boba Cats! is a 2D adventure game about a catās quest to find the fabled brown sugar boba! After an entire summer of working on it, our team ( @graceyd , @kimeowsu , and I) are ready to present the first world of our game! This world takes place under the ocean! What might a cat be doing underwater, you might ask? Youāll see! š The first world is fully playable, but the soundtrack and extra touches will be added in future versions! We hope you all enjoy the cute pixel art, fun platforming challenges, creative storyline, and easter eggs! You can play the game on the [itch app] ( https://itch.io/app ) or download it for Windows!...

Tried adding a music player I tried adding a music player however i failed terribly Iām still trying to add it, for now i at least have the layout but the player doesnāt work yet.
Hi! Sorry for this short devlog I corrected some visual things, and made sure almost everything perfect (I say almost only for the music thing, itās the devil for me right now) but hereās the first time of my project. FINALLY!
HI! Iāve been working on planning the new apps Iāll add, I finally have the last three apps added to the web but I still have to finish themā¦ but on the other sideā¦ I FINALLY FINISHED THE MUSIC PLAYER! After many tries I finally got to finish the music player with some songs I like, also added my first app for the second mission which is a fortune cookie so it can see your futureā¦ or maybe give you a curious fact? who knows.
Last apps Hi! Itās been a while since my last devlog but here I am. Finished my last two apps, one is a duck hunt but changing the duck to a deoxys and the dog to rayquaza and the other apps is a memory game with things that either made me laugh or that i liked (also added two owls that i drew myself). I had mostly a hard time with the deoxys hunt, the memory game i did it quite fast.
Ships:
This is my first webos yay! Itās a bit on my mind plastered here. The principal things this has and that i personally think that are the main things that follow the mission guide is the top bar, welcome app, notes app and draw app. I know I show a music app but I just couldnāt get it to work yet Iām trying but I donāt know why it doesnāt play yet, however the other things above help me check the list for what this mission ask the music thing i wont count it for the webos 2 mission since itās already here but ill make it work there.
Did a whole page based on things I liked trying to create something that even is overload with colors and sounds would make me happy when I was in it, for the second mission I added a fortune cookie, a duck hunt kinf of game and a memory game, but in general thereās 6 apps plus the greetings :]...
