At first, the sparkles did appear wherever I clicked the screen. However, once I scrolled down, the sparkles were appearing nowhere near my cursor (it was now offset). Yikes!

Title: Flappiest bird by @Alexander_Wolf | Stardan Title: Flappiest bird by @Alexander_Wolf | Stardance
Devlogs:
Devlog #1 I’m starting out with Unity. And what is the best option to choose, when you’re starting out? Watch a Flappy Bird tutorial and hope you understand everything, so that you can add your own stuff at the end… I want to create my own games, but have no clue how Unity works. This project is focused on helping me learn all the basics and be able to create my own games from then on. Even though I’m using a tutorial to create this game, I’m planning on using my knowledge to upgrade the game with a few features to market it as my own ;)
Devlog #2 So I finished the tutorial… The game exists and now I have some knowledge about Unity and Game Development. Now I will add some additional stuff to this game to finish it. These include: Starting Screen High Score Difficulties (change speed of the game) Music If you have some ideas, please comment them. I’ll try my best, but can’t promise anything
Devlog #3 I created a starting screen (WITHOUT A TUTORIAL) and connected everything to it. It was a lot harder than expected, because everything runs on Start function, so I had to edit every object. This concludes the first version of this game. Yeah it’s not beautiful, but it’s functional. The other To-Do’s will be added in further versions!
Devlog #4 I’m working on the starting screen. I had also fixed some unknown issues with the bird. It cannot leave the screen now and the game over mechanic works a lot better
Devlog #5 I’ve made some changes to the game: Improved starting screen Added a difficulty switch Difficulty: There are 3 options. Easy, Medium, Hard. Medium is the standard option. They all influence the speed as well as the spawn rate of the pipes Issues for the future: If you restart the game after the game over, the difficulty gets set to Medium. Probably the fix would be to have some data saved for after the restart. This is also my current idea how I’ll make the high score. Or maybe some sort of database would make it easier
Devlog #6 The difficulty switch works and even after a reset or restart of the game, the previous difficulty gets saved. The same goes for the highscore that actually works!!!! What I should implement next is the highscore based on the difficulty, but that is for later
Devlog #7 I added music and some sound effect. Music for: Starting screen Ingame Sound effects: Score Death All sounds are from itch.io. The following music packs have been used: https://tallbeard.itch.io/music-loop-bundle https://jdsherbert.itch.io/ultimate-ui-sfx-pack
Devlog #8 I’ve fixed some error during the gameplay. The game is finished! It’s not beautiful, but for my very first Unity project good enough. Once I’m able to ship again, I’ll do it
Ships:
Ship #1 I have finished the tutorial and added some stuff on my own. This is the first version of my Flappy Bird game. It’s playable and kinda fun. Although it’s not on the same level as a finished game, so please consider this as a demo (v1). It won’t take long until I manage to add more stuff to make it more interesting to play
This is the second ship. Many important modifications have been made. These things have been added to the game since the last ship: A difficulty switch Highscore PlayerPrefs for the difficulty and the highscore Music and sound effects And the most important note: The game is now playable on itch.io. If the game somehow doesn’t open up via stardance, here is the link: ciferwolf.itch.io/flappiest-bird...

devlog #1: Hi guys, I’m sick so I’m sorry for the lack of effort in my projects lately, but anyways I have started on a game called AmateurWare and I don’t have much rn but we’ll see how this goes
devlog #2: Hey guys so I know I didnt do much on this project earlier but now i added a level scene, gonna make the game have like 2 or 3 minigames cause I’m not really feeling well, i would make more but i cant unfortunately :( but its really fun making this game im not gonna lie im learning a new programming language while making this game so its really fun!
devlog #3: I finally made my loading screen functional and I made my character all that’s left for me now are the mini games, pic n2 is a sneak peak of my first minigame’s background:D
devlog #4: Today I started working on the backend of my minigame, i added stardust as collectibles but im kind og trying to debug stuff cause the timer scene doesnt want to appear on the corner for some reason, either way i debugged the animation so the stardust are actually floating up and down now! either way I’m almost done
devlog #5: redesigned the ugly green platforms and made them brick, also did some backend coding and i might redesign my character, i stilll have abit of debugging but im almost finished with minigame n1!
devlog #6: gave the character a glow up and I debugged the game, now it works perfectly, the only thing that bothers me about it is the fact that my character has no animation but i spent hours and i mean HOURS making the character alone i cant be asked to animate him it would be so hard, anyways minigame 1 done, now all we need is one more or maybe two more minigames and then were done for our first ship!
devlog #7: Well, gotta say I’m completely done with minigame n1 the only thing that bothers me is the fact that my sprite has no animation but its fully functional, now i’m on minigame 2 and im struggling a bit because of the code, however I am enjoying this
devlog #8: I officially debugged minigame 2 and it works just fine now, I also had to figure out how to keep the music running throughtout the main screen and the settings scene, and i finished designing the sprite for it now the settings screen is fully functional and designed, ill prob be adding more minigames on my second ship, wish me luck:)
devlog #9: I’m adding minigame n3 and I’m sure everyone is familiar with this minigame, I decided to make a different minigame each day until i reach 5 or 6 minigames and then i’ll ship it for the second time!
devlog #10: game 3/6 completed and i also debugged the game randomization algorithm that way you can’t play the same game twice in a row!
devlog # 11: I have been working on minigame 4, which is stop the needle i know the needle looks kind of ugly but its the best I could do with how frustrating it was to even make this game, either way game 4/6 done :D THIS IS AN EDIT so im editing this the same day i posted it i logged 4 hours on lapse, i made minigame 5 and 6 and now im done, but it says cannot caluclate hours so i have to disclose it here!!
devlog #12: I have no idea whats going on with my lapse because it won’t let me log my hours in and its frustrating it keeps saying cannot calculate hours and i have no idea what all that is about but its whatever, 4 hours wasted, anyways minigame 5/6 done
devlog #13: finally done with this, maybe in the future ill add some but im really mad at lapse and for not logging 90% of my time either way minigame 6/6 DONE, the target disappears and appears randomly and you have to click it before the timer ends
I accidentally shiped it without connecting the mission to it bruhhhhhh what do i do i thought i did
devlog #15: okay so i read the reviews and a lot of people recommended that i should add a score system instead of winning after level 5, but i spent a long time on my pixel art so heres the plan, if a player has less than 10 minigames beat they get the lose scene however if they have more they get the win scene with the celebrations and everything, and the amount of minigames played will depend more on the player rather than the code
devlog #16: taking the reviwer’s advices and makiing an animation that way the character isnt so bland, I made frame 1/3 ima finish all of them tonight tho. heres the left and right frame i just made it and reverted the duplicate cause im not that dedicated on animating each frame
devlog #17: worked on my second frame of the walk animation, just as i was asked. all i need is a third one and the walk animation will be done, but ill focus on that later, rn i still have to debug the game because the levels arent working anymore due to some issues in the code
devlog #18: got the score system working, now if you finish under 20 minigames before losing all your lives you get the first screen, if you get 20 or more you get the second screen, thats your score!! also, forgot to mention someone complained about minigame 3 and told me that the stardust only falls on the right side so i fixed that too, might add minigame 7 next and then ill look through the reviews and see more recommendations
devlog #19: i finished drawing the walk animation and now im just trying to apply it to godot, as you can tell im no expert at this haha
devlog #20: for some reason, the animation won’t work, I might ship this with no animation and keep it just like that, time wasted on the sprite design but it’s whatever i guess it doesnt want to align for some reason, either way atleast I tried, ill make minigame 7 and then ill ship it, and for the record i did NOT only spend 19 minutes on this i have no idea why it says that
devlog #21: I added miningame 7, idk why the shooting sound effect plays whenever it wants to and the animation doesnt work but ill be completely honest. Animating is NOT my thing and if i have to spend another hour trying to animation something, shoot me anyways time to ship AND i also enhanced the buttons cause someone said it looks too bland so, i changed it to my color scheme:)
Ships:
** AmateurWare ** This is genuinely the most fun thing I ever had to make, I enjoyed playing it as well even if it only had 2 minigames, it falls in the requirements which is neat, planning to make more minigames on my second ship. I’m really proud of myself for not giving up at this point and I’m really proud of my pixel art, that took me HOURS to make each, I have no experience or interest in it but I figured it would look good in my game!
AmateurWare AmateurWare’s new update contains 4 new minigames made entirely from brainstorming and implying the previously learnt skills into this game, I really was having fun until lapse and hackatime started tweaking, it wasn’t fun losing all of those hours of work, but at last I’m done, I know the games aren’t really creative but it’s the best I could do as a beginner forgive me y’all. I’m really proud of how the game turned out tho, it had a lot of bugs that pissed me off, but I ended up debugging them SOMEHOW I myself don’t even know how I managed but either way, thanks to anyone and everyone who were invested in the making of this game, safe to say might add more minigames in the future:)
AmateurWare(once again) PLEASE READ!! If you get an error saying WEBGL is not working, or something along those lines, that is NOT from me, its from your browser, I’m no expert so I don’t know the fix to that unfortunetly:( Anyways I listened to the reviews and fixed everything asked of me, except for the animation part, i drew 3 frames of my sprite but i just couldnt animate it for some reason, im sorry for disappointing yall at that part. But the good news is I added a score system just like requested, someone said let the score change on every run and i made that! finish 20 minigames or more and get the win screen, finish less than 20 minigames and get the losers screen:P GOODLUCK AND THANKS FOR TUNING IN...

Devlogs:
devlog - 00 today i thought about the idea of the game it will be inspired by a song i heard as a kid of a green man in a green world and he encounters a blue man “from a whole different story” the story is that you are a blue man who is sick from the inequality so you go to a mission killing all the green top % to get to a teal world from which comes the name: the way to teal(just kill) it will be a movement shooter made in godot i will try to create the assets myself but i might end up using some free models for now we will just use this bean with hands
DEVLOG - 01 – how the way to teal(just kill) calculates sliding i added sliding and right now it isnt as smooth and polished as it might be at the end but i came up with a method that works quite well and im certain i will use it until the end how it works : if you are sliding a script checks what will be your position if you will continue in your current motion without changing the y if you wont be on the ground it means you will probably be on a slope how do we know how “sloppy”(hehe just like the game) it is? we shoot a raycast starting at the player’s feet down about 5 units(you may do whatever number you like) afterwards we check the position in which the raycast intersected with the floor and use it to calculate the force/boost we will give the player using that i can calculate everything i need to slide the player note :if you end up using it check my github because in the code you will need to adjust some things like more downward force in order for the player to not fly anyway here is a clip of it in action the game is in a newborn stage so no judging! –CODE TIME– (I NEVER USE COMMENTS BE GRATEFUL) #calculate the position in the future var horizontalVel = Vector3(velocity.x,0,velocity.z) var future = feet.global_position + horizontalVel #raycast prep var spaceState = get_world_3d().direct_space_state #starting above the future pos in case of upward slopes var rayStart = future + Vector3(0,1,0) var rayEnd = future + Vector3(0,-5,0) #setUp rayCast var rayQuery = PhysicsRayQueryParameters3D.create(rayStart,rayEnd) #so we dont hit ourselves xd rayQuery.exclude = [self.get_rid()] #now lets shoot this bad boyyy var intersect = spaceState.intersect_ray(rayQuery) #results time!!!! if intersect: #we want to return the distance from now to the future return feet.global_position.y - intersect.position.y else: #if it hits nothing we are fucking flying lets return so fucking much return 0```
DEVLOG - 02 (still day one of the project i just do a lot:) IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE GAME IS ABOUT GO TO DEVLOG - 00 added teal footsteps and teal bullet holes to emphasize the mix of blue and green it was implemented using decals which it is the first time i use them so they arent the greatest as you may have noticed i also added a gun with a simple animation+particles and a raycast currently it has nothing to shoot at but i might fix it soon… so the basics are done but i do need to add movement like double jump because after all it is a movement shooter and figure out how i can copy ultrakill’s movement so my game doesnt feel so “slow” next devlog will probably be today againT_T i just cant stop working on itttt
DEVLOG - 03 added enemies that turn teal with time read devlog 00 to understand the game:) for this game i didnt want a boring health bar what i wanted was a visual indicator and well the green enemies are the health bar now you can see easily how much health they have as you can see in the video its a simple use of shaders and its my first time! I REALLY HATE THOSE but it works also look at those particles(i<3particles) –please like if you liked it and comment suggestions it really makes me feel better and improve the game
mini devlog - 03.5 i wanted some art to the game so i made this banner it isnt proffesional at all and took me a damn hour for something thats kinda bad but this is what i cam up with i hope you like it (if you are interested in the project go check out my profile:)
DEVLOG - 04 HUGE MILESTONE movement is now finished with all new momentum logic and added dashing wait… why wont you just see for your selves? try out the movement in the link here and tell me if you like it:) https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill note: i added downloadable versions and a web version the game is generally for windows/linux(i am on linux so i kinda have to XD) so i will not be fixing any only web only bugs anyways i have to put an image here so watch my first attempt of a crosshairT_T
DEVLOG - 05 (it should’ve taken like 30 minutes wth) i added enemies that chase you and animations to your movements the animations were the easy part… but can someone tell me why godot uses the exact same shader to all of my models? so it took me like 50 god damn minutes to realise i need to just duplicate it and then i had a typo and i thought duplicating it doesnt work because of that so i gave up and sent it to chatgpt AND THEN I WAS RIGHT I DO NEED TO DUPLICATE IT anyways here is a clip of the game now and you have to like it ALSO SPECIAL THANKS TO CONNOR - thank him he is the reason the downloads now work in itch.io at least thats what i hope because if they dont idfk what to do itch.io: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill
DEVLOG - 06 added a main menu! now as you can see THERE IS A MAIN MENU and it doesnt work very good on linux but my eye hurts so thats a problem for tommorow and let me know how it is on windows itch.io: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill
DEVLOG - 07 added vertical dash wall jumping and started with the tutorial level today i wanted to design the first level so i looked up what good level builders there are and saw trenchbroom and after like an hour of trying to make it work on fedora i gave up and tried something called cyclops but it doesnt support my current godot version so i spent MORE TIME diving into its code because there was only 1 small error(or so i thought) which i managed to fix but then every like 3 minutes of using it it just crashed so i guess im sticking with normal godot AND it took me like 20 versions and about 5 commits that i thought i fixed it to get to a working version of the 4 line code that lets me dash vertically but setting it up based on camera lets you dash up and gain insane momentum instantly so i tried a system of my own which calculated you vertical velocity using your horizontal one and tried a bunch of formulas and ended up with this fine version so the wall jumping was very easy to do because i just reflect the current movement and add a boost the hard part was that every time before hitting the wall i would already switch in my keyboard to the other other direction so to deal with that i “predicted the future” like i did with the slopes so that the movement feels smoother but to deal with the problem of the keyboard switching i also checked for the opposite directions(which is bassicly copy paste with minuses)so here is the code for that: if is_on_floor(): canWallJump = false return var veloc = Vector3(velocity.x,velocity.y,velocity.z) #var future = self.global_position + veloc for i in get_slide_collision_count(): var collision = get_slide_collision(i) if collision.get_normal().y < .3: wallNormal = collision.get_normal() canWallJump = true return if veloc.length() > 0.5: var spaceState = get_world_3d().direct_space_state var ray = PhysicsRayQueryParameters3D.create(global_position,global_position + veloc.normalized() * 1.2) ray.exclude = [self.get_rid()] var hit = spaceState.intersect_ray(ray) if hit and hit.normal.y < .3: wallNormal = hit.normal canWallJump = true return var altVeloc = Vector3(-velocity.x,velocity.y,velocity.z) if altVeloc.length() > 0.5: var spaceState = get_world_3d().direct_space_state var ray = PhysicsRayQueryParameters3D.create(global_position,global_position + altVeloc.normalized() * 1.2) ray.exclude = [self.get_rid()] var hit = spaceState.intersect_ray(ray) if hit and hit.normal.y < .3: wallNormal = hit.normal canWallJump = true return altVeloc = Vector3(velocity.x,velocity.y,-velocity.z) if altVeloc.length() > 0.5: var spaceState = get_world_3d().direct_space_state var ray = PhysicsRayQueryParameters3D.create(global_position,global_position + altVeloc.normalized() * 1.2) ray.exclude = [self.get_rid()] var hit = spaceState.intersect_ray(ray) if hit and hit.normal.y < .3: wallNormal = hit.normal canWallJump = true return canWallJump = false``` anyway here is a clip of the tutorial level now(compressed cause it was somehow 155mb): **NOTE**: it will be updated on itch.io after i finish making this tutorial level im just a little tired today and couldnt work on the project yesterday so i uploaded this devlog early
DEVLOG - 08 added an interesting navigation optimization script i encountered some lag even with 4 enemies so sadly i had to optimize it on the bright side i saw yesterday a video about exactly that and omfg it saved me and explains the general idea of what i do its just that i do it worse and in a different way video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPNr_txi6TU&t=813s time 33(already in link) how it works? ok so its not the MOST OPTIMAL but it is good i mean i can every time an enemy die to resort it blah blah blah and use the modulo but this works good enough even though i spent half an hour fixing a bug that doesnt exist(turns out if you select a navigation region and bake navigation mesh it does that to all regions and not just the one you selected) but for some reason i did have to use a raycast down the enemy’s feet for it to work so they wont fall probably because of friction so anyways here is the code: extends Node3D var tickAssigned = [] var tickCount = [] var currentTick = 0; var tickTimer = 0.0 const TICK_RATE = 0.025 func _ready() -> void: tickAssigned.resize(navObjects.size()) tickAssigned.fill(0) tickCount.resize(20); tickCount.fill(0) var length = navObjects.size() for i in tickAssigned.size(): tickAssigned[i] = -1 var num = 20.0 /length var current = 0.0 for i in length: if current >= 20: current -= 20 tickAssigned[i] = int(current) tickCount[int(current)]+=1 current += num``` # Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame. ```func _process(delta: float) -> void: tickTimer +=delta if tickTimer < TICK_RATE: return tickTimer = 0.0 var tickDelta = TICK_RATE var count = 0 for entity in navObjects: if entity != null: if tickAssigned[count] == currentTick: var target = entity.target if target != null: var navAgent = entity.navAgent var mode = entity.mode var gotShot = entity.gotShot var SPEED = entity.SPEED var accelaration = entity.accelaration var velocity = entity.velocity if mode == "chase" or gotShot: navAgent.target_position = Vector3(target.global_position.x,target.global_position.y,target.global_position.z) var dir = (navAgent.get_next_path_position() - entity.global_position).normalized() print(entity.name, navAgent.get_next_path_position()) entity.velocity = velocity.lerp(dir * SPEED, tickDelta * accelaration) entity.look_at(Vector3(target.global_position.x,entity.global_position.y,target.global_position.z),Vector3.UP,true) entity.shouldMove = true elif mode == "attack": navAgent.target_position = Vector3(target.global_position.x,target.global_position.y,target.global_position.z) var dir = (navAgent.get_next_path_position() - entity.global_position).normalized() print(entity.name, navAgent.get_next_path_position()) entity.velocity = velocity.lerp(dir * SPEED, tickDelta * accelaration) entity.look_at(Vector3(target.global_position.x,entity.global_position.y,target.global_position.z),Vector3.UP,true) entity.shouldMove = true count+=1 currentTick +=1 if currentTick >= 20: currentTick = 0 #@onready var body =$body #@onready var explosionParticles = preload("res://Particles/enemyExplode.tscn") #var particleInstance #@export var navAgent : NavigationAgent3D #@export var damage = 10 #@export var accelaration = 10 #var target #var mode : String = "idle" #var gotShot = false``` and the enemy code is too long so i cant put it here also here is a clip of the current state of the game
DEVLOG - 09 i added a shotgun! the shotgun has a large cooldown + it applies force on you! + itch.io update IF YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THE TECHNICAL STUFF WATCH THE VIDEO DOWN HERE TO JUST SEE THE COOL SHOTGUN it was much easier to implement because all i did was add a bunch of raycasts and randomize them with this simple code: func randomizeRays(): var i : int = 0 for ray in children: if ray is RayCast3D: ray.target_position.x = orgPos[i] + randf_range(-spread,spread) i+=1 ray.target_position.y = orgPos[i] + randf_range(-spread,spread) i+=1 the actual hard part was getting both guns to work with eachother but i managed to do that the force function was also interesting because i use a chartacterbody3d in godot i have to make this stuff myself with basically only velocity so the code is pretty easy to understand i dont think i need to explain much func _applyForce(point :Vector3,force , maxRange:float = 10): var dir = global_position - point var dist = dir.length() if dist > maxRange: return dir = dir.normalized() var fallOff = clamp(1 - (dist/ maxRange),0,1) velocity += dir * force * fallOff knockbackTimer = KNOCKBACK_LOCK_TIME also the game is now updated and free on itch.io! link: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill (please download it its much better than the web version because i cant solve some web specific bugs)
DEVLOG - 10 this is a large milestone! COMPETITION ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE END i updated the map textures to a retro-ish style and updated the bullet holes and steps to look much better too! i added a timer and score with a grading system that allows for better speedrunning! i added a custom finish level orb with a custom shader that makes it look super cool look at this gameplay it looks like a real game! now the competition: so the competition will start in the next devlog because i plan to add a restart button to make it easier to speedrun and more now THE WINNER AND PRIZE: the winner will be the person that will get the highest score in 24 hours after the devlog is posted or the first person to get a perfect score of 20k(which is very hard gl) and the prize will be (imagine a drum roll) yeah you will just be on a wall or something its not that huge i will also write about you in the next devlog if thats important to you CLARIFICATIONS BECAUSE CLAUDE SAID THIS DEVLOG IS SHIT: 1.the competition will not be in the current build and will be submitted directly to me through slack/discord with the name you have in stardance 2.the prize is shit idk why claude treats it like i should try to deceive you into thinking its good, its bad i promise 3.if someone sends me they got a 20k score it will end idk whats confusing about it anyway only like 3 people will submit probably itch.io: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill (textures in web version are bugged please download!) if you have anything to say about this devlog you may comment it and i will ignore it(unless its a real question) anyway look at this clippp its happening now look at next devlog!
THE TOURNAMENT IS STARTING NOW! as you can see in the last devlog the tournament said in it is starting right now! explanation this is a speedrunning competition in my 1 level demo game(very early in development) in that game you cant even die yet so go wild rules the clips must be unedited(unless you add like an edit of lebron and then its fine) submissions end when this post reaches 24 hours/2:30 pm utc and will be sent directly to me on slack/discord(which you can find in my bio) exploits are allowed! runs can only be in the current build in itch.io -runs that are on linux/windows must not use the web version because its super bad changes this version press r to restart + finished the end gui + fixed some score calculation bugs controls: wasd + space - normal movement ngl ctrl - slide lmb - shoot(with shotgun you get knockback btw) shift - dash 1/2 - switch weapons r - restart winner the winner will be the one with highest score by the end of the 24 hours/2:30 pm utc or the first person to reach a perfect score and he will win being inside the game + in the next devlog itch.io: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill now for the general stuff my discord: swiftfishi3 my slack: loveTheGodotDeveloper (if there will be any edits i will put them here) for now take a look at my fastest run(you have to wait a bit and its mid development)- runs can only be in the current build in itch.io like and repost so more people see it:D
DEVLOG - 11 (THE GAME IS ALMOST COMPLETE) + WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT so in the competition the only person that submitted a score was in the comments and late but he is now the winner:) @Connor you won! i will add you to the game soon major things i added: a ghost of your best run that plays back (if anyone is wondering i spent like an hour making it record every input with a timestamp and the WAY easier approach i ended up using is just saving the position + rotation + weapon used every frame (if animations were important to me i would have added them its not that hard) ground slam that does damage to enemies a jump orb to make levels feel less slow minor things i added: a health bar fixed enemies to know attack with a cooldown added a death screen now the enemies have black hands because animating csg shapes is expensive the state of the game now the game now is in what i feel full technicality ready the only things needed are: more levels, bosses, more enemies, more obstacles and interesting things in general and maybe a 3rd gun but other than that its basically ready so dont forget to playtest and lmk DOWNLOAD itch.io: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill side note:D also im the developer of the game so its not that hard for me to get s+ and im sure you can too so just spam ground slam its op(expect a patch soon🫣🫣🫣)so here is a clip of me getting s+ plus you can see the ghost after
DEVLOG - 12 shipping soon notes if a reviewer sees this: i got a report about some web problems which did not happen to me, if you see the textures as too dark tho try downloading it i was not able to test the mac version as well changes i made a readme for the github added a text of damage done above enemies added a mage type enemy that shoots projectiles SHIPPING after this im shipping this so make sure to look at my github + itch.io github: https://github.com/IDoTweaks/the-way-to-teal-just-kill- itch.io: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill
DEVLOG 13 - UPDATE 1.1! this is a large update 1.1 basically doubles the size of the game and makes it actually feel good to play heres everything: enemies/combat added 4 new enemy types: the charger (rushes you and dashes), the drone (flies around and shoots), the exploder (runs at you and goes boom), and the sniper (snipes. very creative ik) added a sniper weapon for the player too shotgun and sniper now play a little reload animation between shots the new style system grading is no longer based on time insted its based on a style meter that is affected by cool things like no scoping in the air your final grade now mixes score + style + your final health ranking up the meter pops and flashes like super cool game feel hit-stop on kills(like a tiny freeze frame) FOV widens when you’re moving fast and stuff like that low health throws up a red vignette and getting hit shows an arrow pointing at whoever hit you combo kills rise in pitch the longer chain camera rolls when you strafe and dips when you land levels redesigned level 1 from scratch added levels 2 through 6 added a proper boss fight at the end added a tutorial UI + quality of life completely new UI that looks 10x better weapon indicator in the side added sound effects and music pause menu, switching weapons with the scroll wheel, on screen enemy counter settings menu for sensitivity, fov, volume, resolution, etc progress (and your best-run ghosts) now save locally web version web version is now fixed BUT its still a desktop game so its worse download github release: https://github.com/IDoTweaks/the-way-to-teal-just-kill-/releases/tag/NEWEST itch.io: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill yeah thats it now go kill stuff
DEVLOG 14 - the project is super star! boss update the current boss is very lazy in design so i decided to change it completely! with a snake boss, what i did is create a self generating floor and a snake with custom pathfinding boring technical stuff the floor has a function that does holes in it and makes sure the snake cannot get soft locked(since it cant pass through its own body) then the snake turns its positon + the player’s position into a tile in the map and using breadth first search from the head’s tile to the player’s tile it finds the next tile it needs to travel to this sounds so simple why did it take 5 hours? the reason is that this mf floor does not like generating how i want it to and i am very bad at algorithms so i had to try again and again and again and then i had to do the same thing with the snake because i havnt touched bfs in like 1.5 years THANKS FOR THE SUPER STAR as you can see while i was on vacation this project got a super star! i am very grateful for it! when will it be in the game? as you can see in the video it just follows the player right now, it has no attacks or something like it so i hope i can get it done by the end of this week(its saturday now so by next saturday) and it isnt wired into the game yet so its still just the old boss
DEVLOG 15 - boss redesign boss update the boss now attacks with a couple of new attacks! you can see them in the video AND a new paralysis system da cool af part so the boss now takes you to his office where he will offer you a deal: for 20% of your health you can get your paralysis level down! ui update so it looks better now, thats it XD UPDATE! so it is now updated in both github and itch.io but its very bad in the web versionT_T please just download itch.io: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill github: https://github.com/IDoTweaks/the-way-to-teal-just-kill-/releases/tag/NEWEST video btw the video was compressed and then converted so its low quality
mini DEVLOG 16 - da final straw important if you rate it please download it, the web version is much much worse new levels added levels 7-9 unfortunate losses: sadly the styling system was very bad and i couldnt make it work so i just took it out something i had to add you could cheese everything with the dashes so im sorry… i added stamina da end so yeah i wont work on this project anymore prob but i am starting my own asm docs! be sure to stay updated!
DEVLOG 17 - i cant stop working on this last devlog i said i am done with the game but after those reviews i just cant stop key insights from the reviews so the main complains are that the game isnt visually appealing in some devices it ran poorly some mechanics arent clear/ need better tutorial the sfx are annoying (also there were some balancing issues and little bugs) i still got a little less than 19 per hour meaning people really did like it and it needs little changes so what did i change? i changed the tutorial to MAKE you do each mechanic and added a ghost that shows you how to do it new sfx i changed all the art style to be cartoonist i buffed the shotgun i did so much more but its so little that i cant point to each one so lets just say qol changes planning next i have already made 2 mini bosses and currently am working on some more enemy types, i will change the current levels to be the story mode with added story and dialogue and add a completly new mode which i will talk about in later devlogs
DEVLOG 18 - ig we got a lot of art now new things in the game so pretty much all i did was new ui, make the game fit into a cartoon art style and some cover art for it new itch.io page the itch.io page sucked so i made it again and its so much better now check it out so as always the downloadable version is much better but there is still web support try it out: https://idotweaks.itch.io/the-way-to-tealjust-kill AND I LEFT SOME OF THE ART HERE SO YOU CAN SEE
Ships:
i made a speedrunning game inspired by a song, i will add more bosses and levels but now its in a state i very much like because this is my first game that i actually like i focused on the game feel way more than the looks and it shows its so fun i made a ghost system without any tutorial something i could never dream of this project let me see that i can build things on my own also i am aiming for a 3d printer so i need like 3x the hours so expect updates!
this is a movement shooter made in godot 4.6 about a blue man in a green world, i really poured my soul into it so i hope you like it:)...

Devlogs:
I am working on my very own WebOS called vaskoOS! I successfully created a transparent central glass container, added a real-time running clock at the top, and fixed my custom IKEA logo using local paths in GitHub.
I have upgraded my WebOS called vaskoOS! I moved the transparent windows into a beautiful side-by-side layout, added a working Notepad app that you can minimize and maximize using a dedicated taskbar button, integrated a clean HTML IKEA logo, and added a functioning light/dark mode toggle button.
I have successfully upgraded vaskoOS to its most advanced version yet! I completely rearranged the desktop environment so the core Intro window sits right in the center, while the Notepad is docked in the top-left and a brand new working Calculator app is placed in the bottom-right. I also added a dedicated calculator button to the taskbar for full window minimization/maximization. Finally, I optimized the background system clock to run safely across all regional browser settings and integrated a dynamic developer Quote Generator that updates on click. Everything is now fully interactive, fully translated to English, and responsive!
Today I added draggable windows to VaskoOS. Now the Notepad, Calculator, and main VaskoOS windows can be moved around the desktop by dragging their title bars. I also made the windows come to the front when I move them, so they behave more like real OS windows.This was a bit challenging because I had to use JavaScript to track the mouse position and update the window position while dragging. I’m happy with how much more interactive the WebOS feels now.
Upgraded VaskoOS with a complete UI overhaul! Dark Glass Theme: Switched to a sleek dark design with neon accents and transparent windows. Vector Icons: Replaced all emojis with Font Awesome icons for a cleaner look. New Apps: Replaced the audio generator with a working Calculator and a Task Manager. Clean Code: Removed unused elements, fixed window dragging, and polished all controls in English.
In the past few days, I managed to fix some mistakes related to the layout and the apps. I’d be happy if you suggest in the comments what else I should add.
Hi everyone, It’s been a long time since my last devlog, but school started and I had to focus on more important things. I fixed some bugs and updated the design.
Ships:
I made VaskoOS, my own mini WebOS with a custom desktop design and multiple draggable windows. It includes a Notepad, Calculator, Start Menu, live clock, random quotes, and a saved Notepad. The most challenging part was making the windows draggable and making sure they move correctly without breaking the layout. I’m proud that I created my own design instead of copying the guide exactly. My extra features are the random Quote of the Day and automatic Notepad saving. There is no password, so anyone can try it. To test it, open the apps from the taskbar and drag the windows by their title bars....

I started my project by setting up a reusable Github Template, which includes basic styling (e.g. buttons) as well as reusable code, such as a basic game engine for loading scenes, managing score and sound manager. (coming soon) For now i stuck with styling the buttons, which now have 5 different styles with a simple animation. Next i will build a level basic loader and a new framework for the UI. I will try to target both mobile and desktop for the app.
I designed a very simple start page for my game template (and added a UIpatcher class, which handles interaction with the dom, especially spawning and removing buttons and changing text)
I implemented a first basic version of the LightRay Game i am working on. It now supports mirrors and splitters. I am now working on polishing as well as building a level loader (levels stored as json files, a custom level editor is planned)
I fixed a weird bug which was caused by using a false ctx.restore(); too much, which caused the beams to render in different colors, despite the game working properly. I also added a new piece: The Obstacle. this piece is exclusive to the level creator, the player can not modfiy nor delete the block, requiring a interesting challenge for some levels . Next i will be working on the level loader and will create a few levels
after quite a good amount of pain, i finally figured out a way to save the highscores and create “sets” of 9 levels, which you need to complete 6/9 to unlock the next set. My next session will be to clean up the UI and optimize both for PC as well as mobile
I added a new layout for the finish screen, brought the level title and id (calculated from “(id/3)+1”+.+”(id%3)+1”) to the game screen and overall improved the UI
I added more levels as well as improving the completion UI. To improve the workflow, i added an editor to quickly develop new levels (i used the File System API for the first time, allowing me to edit files directly in the browser without handeling upload and download) https://lapse.hackclub.com/timelapse/-edas1fyH1rh
I added many new levels as well as building a stable release version and setting up a new README file. This will be the final devlog before my first ship, i hope you like it
I am currently migrating the level structure to a data-as-backend solution, coming from a static, file-based level system. This give me the ability quickly add new levels, modify and exchange old ones and add time-limited levels. I am also reviewing the option to create an level builder with sharable levels, but this is only an idea i might come back to in the future.
I am currently working on implementing login via Discord for user generated levels. I am also introducing a more structured way for the app to work, however its a slow process. Atleast i got the basic version of the login with Discord working
I worked on improving my GUI, starting with the Discord login screen. I am quite happy with the outcome, and the visual look in general. Next i will start working on the level editor itself and an level discovery screen after that
I am now working on the first version of the community level editor. Currently it works more or less, but the live service integration is not done yet. I decided to separate the normal levels from the user levels (different database table) but its not wired in as of right now
I improved the editor ui and added a few useful features and indicators. I also force reload the site now, should the user decide to log out (As the editor is only accessible when signed in). Next i will add the new table in the backend database and then build both the own level tab as well as the discover tab
The discover community levels screen is now fully working, making this the first time the new live service intergration is fully finished. I will do another polishing devlog, where i will add a tutorial on how to play and refine my UI further
Final devlog This is the final devlog before shipping, packed with a load of new and improved features, including but not limited to: a new Tutorial, introducing you into the core features an updated UI to ensure the grid has always the aspect ratio 1/1 updated the symbols used on the game board to improve readability shareable links to community levels, like this one => “Traffic Jam” New levels And so much more …
I improved the tutorial flow, now saving the tutorial state
Ships:
LaserCircuit ist is clever out-of-the-box thinking game, made and optimized for mobile use. This version includes 12 level, handcrafted by myself, with various different difficulties. For some problems you will need to think out of the box, but you will figure it out. And you only need 6/9 to unlock Stage 2
This update completely changes the way my game works. By introducing live service integration using Supabase everybody is now able to create, share and publish levels to every other player. While the content of the last ship was very limited, my app now has transformed into a platform, open for everyone to create new content within a few minutes. But only that would be not enough! That’s why i also added a brand new step-by-step interactive tutorial, to give everyone the ability to understand the game right of the start.

NurazkhanOS - is my personal webOS built for hackClub WebOS1 mission. Let’s start from the beginning. I was not sure what to do exactly, so just followed the guide. But the guide seemed outdated, and I opened gallery for other works., and was truly fascinated. I wanted to similar app, with smooth animations, with amazing design and many functions. Also the fact that they made it under 15 hours was thing that shocked me even more. There are levels to these. So I switched to react, and tried to build my unique and amazing webOS. at First I had so much ideas, to build 10+ apps, to make amazing design. But, it was always not perfect, not even close to the ones I saw in gallery. The comparision is killer of joy, but it was too late. No matter how long or how hard I tried I couldnt made such amazing webOS. Nevertheless, I am proud that I didn’t give up, even if I had thoughts to leave everything. There was a lot of things I learned, and even more things that I still dont know. But I know that everything comes with experience, no need to get so frustrated about others doing better. enough of me, now lets talk about actual web app. First of all, I made layout. Simple just OS name, app icons and topbar showing time and some words. then I started from music player. This part was hard for me. I never built music player before. Though I will be not lying If I say it was most interesting part. It wasn’t too easy nor too complex. Just fine for developing me and listening my perfect playlist 100 times. then I moved to Calculator. it was just filler app, too increase number of apps. But to be honest I though it to be easier. Maybe I overcomplicated it for myself. You can write there basic expressions consisting from multiple operators and it will calculate. I had option to calculate after each operator, but it seemed too basic. So I spent decent amount of time on logic. My actual final app was circuit lab. This was unique app that guide requires. it has 3 elements resistor, battery and LED and only on correct connection of wire the LED will glow. Again seems basic, but it was most hardest part for me. Too many things were unclear and very hard to find tutorials or explanations. I built one, but to be honest I know its ugly and buggy. But, right now I am so tired and need time before webOS 2 with time for learning. Nevertheless, my webOS will get approved. PLEASE! it follows guidlines, and built with love.

Added 3 songs Sinking Town, Chicago and Charlie’s Inferno. To be honest, it becomes actually interesting when you understand and can do it. I loved this part of doing player, though I didn’t finish it yet.
Music player is finally done, I though maybe to add an video cover for eachsong, but I am too lazy for that. To be honest, I think I am moving to slowly, the progress is little, and I want to finish it as soon as possible, I have to add calculator app, text editor, welcome app and my unique app. I got an Idea what to do for the last one. It will be online circuit builder like tinkercad, where you can put battery, LED and wires. What I have done during this 5 hours? it was making UI, making it resizable which is still laggy. applying Icons. For that I used react - icons library . Also, making volume bar, making volume bar and progress bar draggable. and an attempt to make video cover.
Today worked on Calculator. first time creating full calculator from zero. I thought it was easier, but may be I have little bit complicated it for me. it doesnt just operate between 2 numbers, but actually parses full expression and has logic to iterate through multiplication and divisions as they have to be calculated first and only then it moves to other operators. But of course this was easier than music player. Though I am not happy that it took me 2 hours, I should have done it faster. hope next app will be last, I am tired already. but next app is the most complex :(
This time, I complete my final unique app, it is circuit lab, the most basic. there are three elements led battery and resistor, you connect them according to polarity and press run and LED glows. it might seem basic, and easy. But, for me it was a complex task. I had to use not just dragging but saving coordinates of multiple elements and then drawing line and saving the, Another burden was checking the correctness of circuit, a lot of if else condition. I dont know though how to scale it. Definitely must restructure current logic for webOS2. Hope tomorrow will add welcome page and ship.
Final app. just page about me. It has my image, words I wanted to tell and my contact links. Basically, why not? feel free to contact me. though I know the design is hideous🫣 Nevertheless, its done.
Ships:
This was a long journey for me. NurazkhanOS - is my personal webOS built for hackClub WebOS1 mission. Let’s start from the beginning. I was not sure what to do exactly, so just followed the guide. But the guide seemed outdated, and I opened gallery for other works., and was truly fascinated. I wanted to similar app, with smooth animations, with amazing design and many functions. Also the fact that they made it under 15 hours was thing that shocked me even more. There are levels to these. So I switched to react, and tried to build my unique and amazing webOS. at First I had so much ideas, to build 10+ apps, to make amazing design. But, it was always not perfect, not even close to the ones I saw in gallery. The comparision is killer of joy, but it was too late. No matter how long or how hard I tried I couldnt made such amazing webOS. Nevertheless, I am proud that I didn’t give up, even if I had thoughts to leave everything. There was a lot of things I learned, and even more things that I still dont know. But I know that everything comes with experience, no need to get so frustrated about others doing better. enough of me, now lets talk about actual web app. First of all, I made layout. Simple just OS name, app icons and topbar showing time and some words. then I started from music player. This part was hard for me. I never built music player before. Though I will be not lying If I say it was most interesting part. It wasn’t too easy nor too complex. Just fine for developing me and listening my perfect playlist 100 times. then I moved to Calculator. it was just filler app, too increase number of apps. But to be honest I though it to be easier. Maybe I overcomplicated it for myself. You can write there basic expressions consisting from multiple operators and it will calculate. I had option to calculate after each operator, but it seemed too basic. So I spent decent amount of time on logic. My actual final app was circuit lab. This was unique app that guide requires. it has 3 elements resistor, battery and LED and only on correct connection of wire the LED will glow. Again seems basic, but it was most hardest part for me. Too many things were unclear and very hard to find tutorials or explanations. I built one, but to be honest I know its ugly and buggy. But, right now I am so tired and need time before webOS 2 with time for learning. Nevertheless, my webOS will get approved. PLEASE! it follows guidlines, and built with love. Thank you!...

As it’s name suggest it is a website which contains data on exoplanets and near earth asteroids. Previously it contains only data and analysis. But currently (After recent updates) there are many more features. To know about all the features please read my devlog or directly visit the website. While shipping this right now, I currently have many new ideas to add in this and I will definitely add those in future (Means coming soon). I cannot make Universe Data Booklet in one day or a week. I need time to create it. My vision regarding this project is very wide. I want that my project will help both learners and curious minds. During the development of this project I got into a problem. For latest near earth asteroids, I must have to use API. But I cannot put API on a completely open source project. That is why I have used public API. But public api has data fetch limits. Since the project is in it’s early state, not many users will visit. but I was thinking about future. That is why I came up with an idea, where I will use the Public API but it will never hit the limit (The smart caching). In my new development structure, the site will fetch data only once in 30 days (Data is fetched on the first visit after 30 days). Then that data is saved as cache and all other users get data from that one cache. By doing this data is fetched only once even if thousands of users visit at once. This solves the rate limit. but I need the latest data (at least 30 days). That is why the site fetch data once after 30 day. The program check the cache folder and if the data there is older than 30 days then the site fetches new data on the first visit and saves it. Now another storage problem arise. To solve that my site was programmed in such a way that it will store cache for 90 days and any cache data with are older than 90 days will be deleted. Thus I have solved the issue regarding the near Earth asteroids. I uses public api for near earth asteroids (Because asteroids data get change quickly). I uses csv file for exoplanets data (It is a manually saved data from authentic source) Thank You for giving Universe Data Booklet a try.", "repo": "https://github.com/MDSUWasi/Universe-Data-Booklet", "demo": "https://wasi100.pythonanywhere.com/"}, {"ship_num": 2, "ts": "2026-06-20T18:56:29Z", "hours": 11.0, "multiplier": 13.38, "payout": 154, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "Here is my Universe Data Booklet.

Currently it contains data about asteroid which is near to our planet (Earth) Exoplanets: Exoplanets data is added manually inside the source code. So, exoplanets data can be viewed without any need of API. I have used API in asteroids but not in exoplanets because asteroids moves and changes around the Earth. And I want to work on current data. But exoplantes doesn’t change for a long time. So, there is no need of live API for that. There is a chart view in my site which shows the chat comparison between exoplanets/ asteroids mass. I have used public free API (I know about the limitations). I have solved that problem too. My site will only fetch data once in 30 days and saved it in cache. And through out the month the site will use that cache data. And again gives an API call after 31 days. Means, there will be only API call but many users can use my site. This also brings storage issue in my site. I have also fixed that. The cache data which are older than 90 days will be automatically removed. That’s all for now.

I am developing a universe Data Booklet for our Galaxy (up to a certain limit)
Previously I was thinking about making a universe data booklet with 20% universe data. But now I am thinking about increasing that limit.
Interface of my data booklet is ready.
I have added data about exoplanets (saved locally) and asteroids (data achieved using API). Additional to those, there is a graph view for asteroids and exoplanets, where, along x-axis there is exoplanets/ asteroids name and along y-axis there is the mass.
I have upgraded the CSS, some of HTML (To introduce Hamburger) and some of JS. Initially I thought to give it a color matching with my portfolio, but that color doesn’t look good on it. That is why I used the current one (I have seen several other sites on this same color and I liked this).
New Announcement: According to previous reviews and my own updates I have upgraded the Universe Data Booklet. New updates include: Now, users can download the data in good formate as PDF. There is new 3D view included. A new map included to get a visual map for both asteroids and exoplanets. A little bit change to chart view. Now, user can see the charts, 3D view and Map as a pop up (This was a issue in previous ship, and thanks to the reviews that I can fix them) Now the data row is click-able for selective view. There is a search bar for searching the exact asteroid and exoplanet by name The good thing is, user do not have to remember the full name for asteroids and exoplanets, only a partial correct name is enough New Features are currently written and available in the GitHub repository. I haven’t deployed those yet. Because I have some checking left (Including security and deployment issues). That is why the current site is not updated yet. I will deploy and release the update on 10 August 2026.
Some new changes: Now, 3D vies have 2 different modes for exoplanets (A galaxy like simulation) and Asteroids (The solar system type simulation. Solar system because all data on asteroids are present for near Earth asteroids). Now, Universe Data Booklet have study (Flashcards, Quiz, Compare etc.) and research section (Specific details key point study). There are more updates. To see all of them and Try please wait until 10 August (I will deploy the site and Update it that day.). But the source is available in the repository. Those who are interested can give it a try directly from source code (But the source code is in early state and un-stable. So, I can not guarantee anything ).
Today. I am going (I already have deployed. Go and check out if you want) to deploy the version 10.0.0.0.0 of Universe Data Booklet on Web and The first stable release. Currently Universe Data Booklet Have 3D Solar System Near Earth Asteroid View 3D Galactic exoplanet view 3D Map view Graph analysis (Difference of mass in bar diagram) Quiz Mode Flash Cards Guess Mode Research Mode I have updated the data row (Currently those are click-able) 4 different theme in 2 different structure. For more info see the README in the source code
I think I am going to ship Universe Data Booklet 3rd Time. Universe Data Booklet (UDB) is now on version 10.0.0.0.0 (It is also the second ship). From the first day of to now, UDB has improved a lot. Initially it was suppose to only display raw data in a graphical window. But as time passed new idea came to my mind and I add those in it. Currently UDB has many feature and I am going to add some more and make my 3rd ship of UDB before 30 September (Because I want to release it during ongoing Stardance). Overview on upcomming new updates: Changes on existing features. A universe explore game A Chat Bot (Used as alternative of search feature). Currently I am working on above 3. I may also add some more new feature if any new idea arrive.
Update Universe Data Booklet got a new update. And the updated version is currently online . On the previous version there are some typing errors and inconsistencies in the code, page and README. That is why I have revised and fix those. Now, I think user can relate the main page with the README. For new features. There 2 new features currently online.

Upcoming Update Announcement In the next update there are huge changes coming. Some of them are shown below. A detailed description on exoplanets and asteroids: Now users can see a very detailed graphical data. This is because I have increased the number of data source. I have decreased the data fetch limit from 30 days to 7 days. So, starting from next release, all data provided in Universe Data Booklet will be re-new on the very first visit of each week unless there any issue pop up.

Point 3 is on the way of implementation but not confirmed whether be released or not. If everything goes will. I will release this After my Exam is over. Thank You
New member I am glade to welcome Solar System as the new member on Universe Data Booklet . New Update! Now Universe Data Booklet have data on Planets, Exoplanets, Asteroids and Satellites (Including the artificial one). Now Universe Data Booklet can show image. But this feature is limited.

Another night-day another Problem . Yesterday I went to the source code to add a new theme and structure in Universe Data Booklet. Then I saw a bug in by server.py (backend). But I thought that I will just fix it after working on the theme. Then I worked on theme. Then during test time, I saw something scary (I will not tell what was that). Then I started fixing the theme, that caused bugs of js and css and them what! I never thought this would cause this much trouble. After some time, There was multiple tabs and tasks running into my PC (And which goes heavy on RAM). And What after My Virtual Development Environment got crashed and corrupt. And from night 11 AM to still now (6 AM) I am still fixing my environment otherwise all of my effort will be gone (I will lost my entire new source code).
Ships:
Here is my Universe Data Booklet. As the mane suggest, this is a site which contains data about exoplanets and asteroids. Asteroids: Here I have used real asteroids data (Which is obtained through API ). Currently it contains data about asteroid which is near to our planet (Earth) Exoplanets: Exoplanets data is added manually inside the source code. So, exoplanets data can be viewed without any need of API. I have used API in asteroids but not in exoplanets because asteroids moves and changes around the Earth. And I want to work on current data. But exoplantes doesn’t change for a long time. So, there is no need of live API for that. There is a chart view in my site which shows the chat comparison between exoplanets/ asteroids mass. I have used public free API (I know about the limitations). I have solved that problem too. My site will only fetch data once in 30 days and saved it in cache. And through out the month the site will use that cache data. And again gives an API call after 31 days. Means, there will be only API call but many users can use my site. This also brings storage issue in my site. I have also fixed that. The cache data which are older than 90 days will be automatically removed. That’s all for now. I am also thinking for future update in this site too. Thank You.
What I have built is known as Universe Data Booklet. As it’s name suggest it is a website which contains data on exoplanets and near earth asteroids. Previously it contains only data and analysis. But currently (After recent updates) there are many more features. To know about all the features please read my devlog or directly visit the website. While shipping this right now, I currently have many new ideas to add in this and I will definitely add those in future (Means coming soon). I cannot make Universe Data Booklet in one day or a week. I need time to create it. My vision regarding this project is very wide. I want that my project will help both learners and curious minds. During the development of this project I got into a problem. For latest near earth asteroids, I must have to use API. But I cannot put API on a completely open source project. That is why I have used public API. But public api has data fetch limits. Since the project is in it’s early state, not many users will visit. but I was thinking about future. That is why I came up with an idea, where I will use the Public API but it will never hit the limit (The smart caching). In my new development structure, the site will fetch data only once in 30 days (Data is fetched on the first visit after 30 days). Then that data is saved as cache and all other users get data from that one cache. By doing this data is fetched only once even if thousands of users visit at once. This solves the rate limit. but I need the latest data (at least 30 days). That is why the site fetch data once after 30 day. The program check the cache folder and if the data there is older than 30 days then the site fetches new data on the first visit and saves it. Now another storage problem arise. To solve that my site was programmed in such a way that it will store cache for 90 days and any cache data with are older than 90 days will be deleted. Thus I have solved the issue regarding the near Earth asteroids. I uses public api for near earth asteroids (Because asteroids data get change quickly). I uses csv file for exoplanets data (It is a manually saved data from authentic source) Thank You for giving Universe Data Booklet a try....

i made a warioware type minigame in godot. the hardest thing was debugging the timer and scene changes to work without resetting my score i am proud thats runs smooth now lol. to test jopen the itch link and play in browser, react quick to get the prompts....

i am able now to display the board and the pieces whereever i want.
I have addet some logic to mark specific squares if they have a piece on them, and am currently working on a way to move pieces across the board, for storring the possitions of pieces I have decidet to use bitmaps. They are basicly just a long int with 64 bits, each representing one square, one bitmap for every piece type. This may seem slow at the beginning but this will probably be faster for the engin itsself later on.
The piece moving logic is now implemented. You could now theoreticly play the game(exept for promoting pawns). But there are still no legal checks, this will be the next thing to add.
I started on some legal checks for the pawn, rook and knight for now. Everything moves as expected. Even with captures and pieces of the own color blocking you. I have also added the blue indecators witch squares are allowed and witch are blocked. The other pieces will come soon.
Addet the complete movementlogic ecxept for the king. Even promotions and the sneaky en passant. The kings still proves to be a bit of a challange. But I will get it soon
I am slowly getting the realization, how hard this actually gone be. Protected pieces now can’t be captured by the king. But I am still struggeling with the concept of check. It only works for pawns currently, there seems to be a big bug somewhere in the code. And pawns are able to capture from file a to h.
Quick update, I solved the file capturing error of pawns. It was only a wrong < and > sign.
Finally got the check logic on the king correctly. You are now unable to move a piece, if you are in check. Of course the blocking mecaniks are still missing. And I also should start working on the castlingmechaniks. But then I would me pretty much ready to start on the actual engin.
I realized that the way my current isKingInCheck funktion works, would just be way to slow, to make a powerfull engin later on. I did a quick search on the internet, and it turns out I need to split between legal and pseudo legal moves. Where the pseudo legal moves, disregard checks. So I started rewriting the last 400 lines of code. There is not much to show here.
All pieces are back to the right way the shouldm except the king. I know have some super clean funktions, that should make position calculation extreamly fast. I also heard about some optimizations with shifting bit array, to make the movecalculation for a sigle piece even faster. Not really shure how that works jet, but I am planing on implementing that to in the futer. The faster my legal moves calculator is now, the better the engin is gona get later on.
With the new logic it was a easy to add the legal moves for the king back in. Now lets get back at tackeling the blocking and check, and block mechanics.
Got it! Now blocks, checks, pins, and captures work. Everything works. The only missing thing is chastling wich might be a bit tricky to implement. The way the code works now, is the following: Every possable move from a piece gets calculated Every possition after the move gets looked at If the king is attacked in any possition delet the move from the possable moves. This may not ultimatle be the fasters way, but it’s fast enough for now. I might implement a even faster algorithem in the futur, but I like this one because it is just so clean and readable.

No castling, afte moving the rook, the king, or if the king is in check, or if a rook has been taken. There is only one thing missing to make this game really playable, in a Player vs Player sense. Checkmate!
Checkmate has been addet, also the ability to draw, by stalemate and the 50 move rule. I won’t do the draw for insuficient material jet, maybe later down the road. But while testing I found a terrific but with pawnpromotion, It sometimes giliches out and ask you for a piece even if your not on the first or eightest rang.

I addet dynamic depth, so the fewer pieces are on the board the deeper the position gets analyzed.
I addet a negative maximum funktion, with some other optimizations. The time spent to make the engin better isn’t addjustivied. I am gona leave it just like it is. It is better than me and that is good enough.

Ships:
Rapid Relay: Signal Shift is a Godot reaction-game prototype with two short input challenges: Pulse Press uses keyboard timing, and Orb Catch uses mouse clicks. The project has a round HUD with a readable SIGNAL BARS count, plus separate win and death scenes with replay and return-to-menu routes. The difficult part was making each round’s input rule clear and keeping the transitions understandable. To test it, open the demo, play both minigames, try a successful run and a failed run, and use Escape to return to the menu. This is still a practice prototype, so honest feedback is welcome....

Anyways, after last summer, I fell into a sort of hole of demotivation where I didn’t really see what I was “working towards” in terms of school and just waiting six months for the FRC build season to start. In order to try to get my creativity and to prove to myself I wasn’t washed, I decided to throw myself into the deep end and to create a 3D printer. That said, 9 months later and way too many demotivation breaks, I locked in after exams and fully assembled and programmed and tested the build in 18 days! It features a coreXY gantry system, along with a passive tool changing setup with latches and the friction of the top docking piece. This kept the overall motor count to be 5 (2 for xy, 2 for z, 1 for tool). The tool changing setup and printing is nowhere near perfect (after all, this thing’s mostly made of PLA and was programmed in a week), but it’s definitely able to be tuned and better perfected with more programming time! In the end, Spark did achieve its goal of sparking some figurative sparks for me to continue building! After this, it was shipped off and exhibited at Open Sauce in California as part of Outpost where I’ve met amazing people and learned more about 3D printers and how to design them better!", "repo": "https://github.com/HenryLi-0/spark", "demo": ""}]...

(What? The return of Spark?) Well, not exactly, this is more of a thing for the latest announcement in #stardance-bulletin ! Here’s the edited video from a while back! It’s kinda for vertical/short form content, also, BIG EPILEPSY WARNING!!! While you’re here, you should definitely check out fermion , the “spark v2” in a way! It has a very different architecture (that’s surprisingly hard to cad), so check that out! Anyways, here’s the log without further ado… There’s really not that much to say. On July 26th, Spark was repackaged into a box and put into storage, almost a week after returning to New York City. It’s still in an operational state, with few wires disconnected, only with the WiFi credentials incorrect. For a logged 9 months and 2 weeks, a total of 287 days, with 80 progress updates in that time, Spark’s been on my mind for a long while, no doubt about that. Across the more than 64k words, 240+ hours, from the definitely overscoped original concept to the rush to finish it before Blueprint ended, Spark has existed between two whole YSWS programs, one used for design and one used for build. I have to say, with more than three quarters of a year, a lot has changed, both outside, in my actual life, and with Spark, as the idea changed through every log, slowly and carefully. There were highs and lows, and really, really, low lows, from feeling lost at the end of day 9 of build, to the excitment of the first motor turning during day 11. But now, it’s all neatly packed in the garage, waiting to be used another day. Spark isn’t gone, it still physically exists. It may not be resting on a giant wooden board I use for soldering next to my bed, but it still exists next to me through all the hard CAD and build days. It’s strange, this sudden change. For the last week, I haven’t really done much besides plan. And that’s probably a good thing, given all the planning Spark took. I haven’t really done much build, I haven’t really felt anything. Post convention depressions, I have to say, is hitting pretty hard. After such insane fun and wonder for a week, it’s suddenly back to a cool, rainy day, here in New York City. Sleeping through the afternoon, after sleeping not enough hours in the morning. As the rain starts pouring from the sky again, I’ve been wondering what the meaning of joy is. Alas, it might just be time. Adapting to such changes is obviously difficult, and the road of projects is too. But that doesn’t mean roadstops aren’t along the way. As I wrap up this update log, I want to leave a quick quote, one of my favorites. It probably sounds like a dumb platitude to say “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey”, but truth is, we’re made up of journeys. You’re never going to be who you’re supposed to be unless you take that road. … There is room in there for surprise, for deviations, for re-evaluations. I wouldn’t dare deprive you of that adventure. You only get one , after all. I know, you’re tired; resting is part of the journey too. But not giving up… Winter, in Housepets! (Rick Griffin, Dec 25, 2020) That said, what’s next? Well, first we’re gonna take a stepping stone. What’s next is still in concept form, but the unique constraints might require a custom PCB, which is where river comes in. First, it’s gonna be a quick project, just a custom PCB music player, just to jog the electrical skills. But after a quick skip over a stream, what’s truly next? What’s the successor to Spark? What’s next to rival its top 1 status? Fermion.

(i have some ideas…) anyways, i think im gonna prep the stardance project to ship, idk if i can? ok, 11:00 PM, updated the front image, gonna work on updating some stuff ok, 11:06 PM (almost typed AM, that would be funny), added the open sauce image to the readme, brb! back at 12:42 AM, yeah, i think it’s a good time to ship? mfw fixing the position so the aspect ratio for the banner and the project banner (the different pages) are so so hard to get correct anyways, yeah, gonna copy this stuff over and we should be good to go? well, 1:22 AM, for now, good night!"}, {"post_id": 33812, "ts": "2026-07-24T01:35:42Z", "hours": 11.3686, "text": "7/11/2026 - 78th Update! in theory, the last one? in reality, probably not. anyways, it’s 3:22 PM, today’s reveal/edit day! of course, i got a bit of table clean up to do and recording, but i also wanted to play around with the settings a little more to get a somewhat better print? (and maybe test another print since this ones a little small) anyways, parent meeting at 5 PM today, gonna be attending on the side while probably editing? im planning on doing two more test prints before then test 1: turned layer speeds from 90mm/s to 70mm/s increase flow ratio from 1.15 to 1.21 decrease skirt loops from 7 to 5 ok, 3:43 PM, sliced and uploaded, heaters all heated, ready to go! gonna use the bathroom, seems to be printing well though! back at 3:55 PM, it printed well and ended well! gonna modify the ending gcode to cool down, analyzing results now! kinda wanna replace the middle tape strip since i kinda messed up and removed a ripped a bit of it while scrapping the skirts off (whoops), gonna go for one more print, im pretty satisfied, this ones gonna be a bigger test print (not a benchy yet though), im thinking calibration cube? test 2: increase flow rate from 1.21 to 1.30 decreae rotation distance from 6.4 to 6.0 increase deretraction speed from 6mm/s to 6.5mm/s decrease jerk for x (5mm/s to 4.5mm/s) y (5mm/s to 4.5mm/s) z (0.2mm/s to 0.175mm/s) x (0.3mm/s to 0.25mm/s) gonna use this makerworld one for this! intrested to see how this one goes! it’s more of a z axis and consistency ending test should have just enough filament? expecting like 2-3cm left on the top after this? might not have enough on the top but that should be fine? hopefully? i mean, if i see the filaments about to run out id rather end the test? idk footage time yeah its kinda… erm. it kinda failed to print beyond the base layer, seems to just struggle with grabbing filament on its side, let me get a straw real quick, nvm, just used a piece of filament taped down for it, i think its just a filament grabbing issue (probably fighting against the curl?), so yeah, this should straighten that out a bit? test 3 (aka, 2 again), decided not to change anything, here we go! gonna focus on footage for this one so that might have been the… worst prints ive seen, but sure ok, just added the filament from the spool, should be ready for a bigger test? test 4: changed max volumetric speed from 5mm^3/s to 3mm^3/s turned flow ratio from 1.3 down to 1.22 rotation distance reverted from 6.0 back to 6.4 oh yeah heres the image of the cube yeah, gonna go for a 50% benchy erm 50 minute print uhh, well, 5:50 PM, now or never, i guess imma setup for a reveal scene ok, created a nice set for filming, gonna be doing mostly footage stuff while this prints, not really any timelapse? i guess i could? ok, hopefully printing and footage done by 7PM, then probably editing or dinner sometime around there (yes, todays the end day i think, at least my goal) ok, quite some time later, gonna speedrun dinner, its 7:31 PM though i was away for a bit before then welcome back, 9:11 PM, did a bit of footage getting earlier, here goes a print so. half way through. turns out our cold end/heatsink or whatever kinda doesnt cool it well enough. essentially, yeah. it just started curling up halfway in. yeah. however, it did successfuly print half of it! test 5: turned layer speeds from 70mm/s to 80mm/s changed max volumetric speed from 4mm^3/s to 3mm^3/s (seems like i forgot to do it whoops) most devious gcode modifications and slicer shenanigans later devious part 2 well, it’s 6:02 AM now, after lots of editing, submitted the forms, time to head off to bed! and yeah, good night!"}, {"post_id": 26773, "ts": "2026-07-11T19:21:48Z", "hours": 7.0922, "text": "7/10/2026 - 77th Update! wow, 77 updates, so it’s now 10:00 PM, idk what happened to this afternoon (basically just vanished, went to some job in the morning, slept when i got home, ate lunch at 4 PM, slept again, ate dinner at 8 PM, then showered and now it’s somehow 10:00 PM) im thinking media is gonna have to be moved to tomorrow, my only goal today is to find diamonds get the printing to work reliably here’s a couple ideas i brainstormed last night increase the extruder heating temperature should make it way easier for the gearing to push as well double check gearing probably not this now that i think about it, but check docs double check rotation distance again, probably correct add extra pressure in the config similar to the first idea as in trying to actually push more filament slow things down even more very sad but self explanatory if we overextrude, that’s ok, we just need to find the tuning sweet spot where it is actually decent, but of course, the more important goal is to actually get some reasonable stream of filament flowing out (constantly extruding is not optimal but it’s whatever) ok, upped the printing temperature by 10C, also decreased a lot of speeds, 10:33 PM, hopefully ready to test? ok, prepping the stuff, gotta clean the nozzle too, ok 10:40 PM, ready to go! well that didnt print anything ok, so shoving filament down the throat extrudes, pushing filament from far above works well (it does slam left and right but still functions fine), the velocity isnt correct AT ALL (might just be from the compression/friction), hmm ive been suggested to look into the heatbreak and stuff, so gonna take a look at that, idk a bit of a break later, the gearing is sus, trying to move it with the top off and only the heatsink attached, seems off it’s been two hours and ive been playing with so so so many configurations (probably at least thirty?), moving spacers, adding rubber bands, readjusting, measuring, and i think ive come to a point where it’s “ok”. it goes out ok (3 rotations of the motor connection results in: ~1.8cm pushing fast, ~1.7cm pushing slow, idk for expected), but it’s basically incapable of going back up for some reason. it also produces a good amount of force out, but, as mentioned before, barely any up (skips a bunch) ok, played around a bit more, idk, retraction worked for a second randomly, idk, installed it back on, ready to test again 3:36 AM, did a couple of cursed things in the config, specifically making it extrude 4x as much, along with making the deretraction speed higher in the slicer, that said, here we go! ey it printed something! its still really fuzzy so i guess we still got more work to do (that was v1.4), ok v1.5 uploaded, let’s see! 4:12 AM, here we go oh yeah also added fancy ending gcode lol hmm, it’s more complete, but stll missing stuff, ok, 4:27 AM, the birds are probably coming out soon, v1.6 going! well that didnt end well huh seems like the issue was just that the filament wasnt fully loaded, whoops ok, v1.7 uploaded with some print skirts on the outside to help with the missing start extruding, flow rate also increased, let’s see, it’s 4:54 AM, so last print of the day! uh oh it seems to be underextruding now, ok, 5:09 AM, here’s v1.8 ow was in the middle of cleaning the print bed and a piece of the skirt just went straight under my fingernail ouch well, with the sun rising, here’s the end of today! imo v1.5/v1.6 is my favorite, but it’s getting there in terms of smaller details, so i think tomorrow one or two more test prints and then a benchy would be a smart move?

(i do not want to know what the weird vapors or gasses it just released (yes i saw it, which isnt a very good thing)) also, wow, the heating controls are tuned really nicely! ok, 1:17 AM, z axis going up again so wasnt extruding anything, had to push on it to move, and that resulted in an obvious pile of sad sad so i feel like this is a bit of a gearing thing, since small amount arent really wanting to come out at least it got the rough shape correct? hmm i want to try it out without me pushing on the filament, expecting nothing to happen but who knows yeah i think its just really under extruding, probably because of slip inside? 1:43 AM, trying again, yep, nothing good, it’s now 2:00 AM, gonna go to sleep at this point yeah. idk. the one on the left is forced filament, the middle had a bit of push at the beginning, the last one was mostly by itself. yeah, idk what to do at this point. it’s 2:03 AM, idk what to do, and yeah, we’re kinda behind schedule. anyways, good night!"}, {"post_id": 25175, "ts": "2026-07-09T06:59:41Z", "hours": 4.6269, "text": "7/8/2026 - 75th Update! mfw when the stardance bot tells me that only 10 hours per devlog counts now that’s just rude well, welcome back! 5:01 PM today and starting things off in a bad mood. guess we gotta waste our precious time by cleaning stuff up anyways, 15 minutes later and some serious condensing (each day is like 5 sentences max), back to work! got some unfinished business to do while we work on today’s stuff! so a series of event have occured and now it’s 10:13 PM. oops. for a second i got scared something was wrong but turns out the connecting wire to the inlet thing was just a bit disconnected, trying to access the web interface right now… oh it’s because im on downstairs wifi. oh. gonna be following this for calibration! not exactly sure why there’s so many connection issues today. ok, while that’s connecting, gonna print the latch parts so my s key finally fell off. oh. that’s not good (yes im touching the little button under it) ok, w repair, cleaned it up, the key still does the weird tilt thing, but it stays in there, so that’s good so uh it fell out again. not good. ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss oh i guess im gonna keep that, i just need to be more mindful of where i press it i guess, problem is currently that the mcu keeps disconnecting whenever i change the extruder temperature, which is kinda weird hmm mightve been an electrical thing? so i just spent an hour trying to come up a solution for the extruder, none of them are reliable or possible (rubber band placement just gets in the way). so yeah. whys it working now i guess the solution is grinding the gears down? whys the “rushed for display” extruder the only working one now, wow ok, latches made, no rubber bands since that just doesnt work (both the track and the thing), idk, later issue, right now i guess we’re gonna tune z stuff or gonna just try to make it as flat as possible? i think for now let’s just assume perfect flatness for time, let’s replace the heater section of 1 with the one of 3 and just basically use tool 3 instead for time (since the gearing apparently works???)

Wrote a devlog, worked on tuning the extruder filament tgrabbing gears. After dinner, printed some stuffs, then started adding the corexy belting path. Spent a long time, didn’t really feel very motivated at 3:42 AM and ended the day almost finishing assembling the belts and with not working extruders. 7/3/2026 Woke up early, last night wasn’t a fun night, increased the gear scale, finally actually put the corexy belt together. The filament gears now grab, though it does skip when too much filament is put in. After fixing the shaft collar and adding it back, reassembled the test tool and it attaches! The corexy does have quite a bit of friction, but the tool is assembled! However, waiting on terminal stuffs. Rest of the day is starting the electronics stuff. 7/4/2026 Motors not moving? Removed wires from housing and fix phases, motors now moving! Wondered why one motor was faster, then they both became slow. Fans wired, heaters wired, more testing, heaters can heat up! 7/5/2026 Bad sleep schedule strikes again, some soldering and added the limit switches, more stuff sent to print. A bit of config editing later and the corexy moves properly now! With the correct x and y axis!

Some fixing later, two part inlet case CAD done and sent to print and attached, second tool head also wired up. There’s your week of updatelogs compressed into a format because theres a character limit. From now on, all devlogs will be the updatelogs and not be as extra refined, since I don’t get time counted for writing these, and it’s really a pain and insult to just say that more than a whole 24 hour day worth of actual work doesn’t count because someone added a time limit per log out of nowhere."}, {"post_id": 21018, "ts": "2026-07-02T19:40:26Z", "hours": 22.1556, "text": "it’s been four days oops More Assembly and Electronics! 6/28/2026 Ok, it’s z axis day!

First things first though, the z axis lift base thing was added , and some electronics stuff was started! It’s a little different from the wiring diagram, along with the fact we’re using a raspberry pi 4b, and a couple other stuff. Also, the docking bay got redesigned! 6/30/2026 Anyways, coreXY stuff printed and the layer is assembled! The gantry has a bit of wobble (and the bearings aren’t a tight fit), but nothing some hot glue can’t help with! (Well, maybe the wobble). Anyways, mainsail flashed on the raspberry pi 4 and figured out the weird issues! Also, reminder to switch the jumper thing for input form the side to the usb power.. so, the t rods hit the gantry too, along with the fact that the build plate doesn’t exist.

There’s also a picture of the thermistor of the heater bed in the mainsail graph somewhere down there! Unfortuantely, I don’t have free JST connectors on ahdn, so we’re gonna be doing sketchy stuff with a dupont connector in there (the pitches are a bit different, yes, i know it’s crazy sketchy, shhhhh) Anyways, after setting tool stuff to print, went downstairs and (thanks to my dad) got the t screws cut and a 15x15 build plate out of some aluminum (it’s like 1.3-1.6mm thick?). We did have to make it out of sheet aluminum that was laying around, but it came out alright, the holes are just a little misaligned but that’s a bit on me. Anyways, realized the tool stuff printed was super cursed, had to work on redesigning a lot of parts, specifically the sahft collar, the gearing (no more bearings should be needed, all the stuff should be using filament as deadaxles).

Anyways, here’s a quick recap! Frame Assembly and Even More Printing! 6/25/2026 On a kinda windy day in NYC, printing continues! But hold up, what’s this? Yes, it’s also extrusions cutting day! While printing the stands for the bottom of the printer (after printing a whole bunch of gussets the previous day) after optimizing the print settings, I did some quick reviewing of the extrusion and rod cut lengths and then realized that I miscounted the middle frame y extrusions, it should’ve been three instead of two. So there wasn’t enough length for this extra extrusion (the tmm extrusion). Yeah. Anyways, not shortening the print area by 6cm to get the length, so calculated the linear rod cut lengths and headed downstairs. Huge thanks to my dad for cutting all these extrusions and rods! Now that I think about it, I did work with a blade saw up down thing before (idk what its called, a cold saw but its not cold and goes to higher rpms), but not with a handheld grinder before (i think that’s what it’s called?). Anyways, I learned that the little aluminum chips (that you can’t eat unfortunately) is actually the material, since you lose material every time you cut! This means that some extrusions are a little shorter, but the gussets helped work fine with this! Anyways, after seeing real sparks from the rods getting cut and theneating dinner, finished printing the stands and then realized the bmm extrusion doesn’t have any support. Yeah. Anyways, counted the number of extrusions and ended that day starting a little bit of assembly! 6/26/2026 Frame assembly day! Not much to say other than it involved roughly 5 hours of manual screwing with a screwdriver (using a drill did not really end that well, yes, I tried, probably a skill issue though). Anyways, printed a good amount of tool base stuff at the same time (the tool base print fell on my foot off a table (ouch)), and did a lot of frame assembly! In fact, used 203 T-nuts and 128 screws! Mostly just a lot of tedious work, but hey, the main frame’s done! 6/27/2026 Oh that’s yesterday! Anyways, first part of the day was just me at the doctor’s office, so couldn’t get much done, but I did set an x slider block to print, and it came out pretty well! Also, all three extruders got assembled! And the starts of the tool base! Nothing else much though, unfortunately! Well, that’s it for now, not writing today’s (6/28/2026) since that’s still happening right now, see ya after corexy assembly!

Apart from being really weird to test (both prints weren’t really willing to stretch, and were really easily stretched beyond its maximum), so new design time!

It looked pretty promising, but has its own set of issues.

I mean, I can also print it out in vibrant pink?

I think I’m just gonna continue doing logs every couple of days since sometimes I don’t feel like it, but I’ll try to keep up the consistency! Catch y’all in a bit!
What do you mean 14hrs+ passed? Anyways, here’s a quick recap! Frame Assembly and Even More Printing! 6/25/2026 On a kinda windy day in NYC, printing continues! But hold up, what’s this? Yes, it’s also extrusions cutting day! While printing the stands for the bottom of the printer (after printing a whole bunch of gussets the previous day) after optimizing the print settings, I did some quick reviewing of the extrusion and rod cut lengths and then realized that I miscounted the middle frame y extrusions, it should’ve been three instead of two. So there wasn’t enough length for this extra extrusion (the tmm extrusion). Yeah. Anyways, not shortening the print area by 6cm to get the length, so calculated the linear rod cut lengths and headed downstairs. Huge thanks to my dad for cutting all these extrusions and rods! Now that I think about it, I did work with a blade saw up down thing before (idk what its called, a cold saw but its not cold and goes to higher rpms), but not with a handheld grinder before (i think that’s what it’s called?). Anyways, I learned that the little aluminum chips (that you can’t eat unfortunately) is actually the material, since you lose material every time you cut! This means that some extrusions are a little shorter, but the gussets helped work fine with this! Anyways, after seeing real sparks from the rods getting cut and theneating dinner, finished printing the stands and then realized the bmm extrusion doesn’t have any support. Yeah. Anyways, counted the number of extrusions and ended that day starting a little bit of assembly! 6/26/2026 Frame assembly day! Not much to say other than it involved roughly 5 hours of manual screwing with a screwdriver (using a drill did not really end that well, yes, I tried, probably a skill issue though). Anyways, printed a good amount of tool base stuff at the same time (the tool base print fell on my foot off a table (ouch)), and did a lot of frame assembly! In fact, used 203 T-nuts and 128 screws! Mostly just a lot of tedious work, but hey, the main frame’s done! 6/27/2026 Oh that’s yesterday! Anyways, first part of the day was just me at the doctor’s office, so couldn’t get much done, but I did set an x slider block to print, and it came out pretty well! Also, all three extruders got assembled! And the starts of the tool base! Nothing else much though, unfortunately! Well, that’s it for now, not writing today’s (6/28/2026) since that’s still happening right now, see ya after corexy assembly! (hopefully???)
it’s been four days oops More Assembly and Electronics! 6/28/2026 Ok, it’s z axis day! Gonna try to keep these recaps short since I’ve mostly been writing giant blobs of text with little images recently, since moving photos from my phone to the laptop and into the update log is a bit annoying, but yeah, z axis and motor mounts were started today! 6/29/2026 Realizing that time was really running out, along with the fact that NYC is attempting to reach high temperatures out of nowhere, a schedule was made and coreXY pulley stands were sent to print! First things first though, the z axis lift base thing was added , and some electronics stuff was started! It’s a little different from the wiring diagram, along with the fact we’re using a raspberry pi 4b, and a couple other stuff. Also, the docking bay got redesigned! 6/30/2026 Anyways, coreXY stuff printed and the layer is assembled! The gantry has a bit of wobble (and the bearings aren’t a tight fit), but nothing some hot glue can’t help with! (Well, maybe the wobble). Anyways, mainsail flashed on the raspberry pi 4 and figured out the weird issues! Also, reminder to switch the jumper thing for input form the side to the usb power.. so, the t rods hit the gantry too, along with the fact that the build plate doesn’t exist. Decently productive day, 5 days left. 7/1/2026 go go go New month, and leectronics work continues! Sacrificed the aliexpress USB power cable, split the wires, and attached it to the LM2596, looks good! Also learned how to crimp today, so that’s pretty cool. There’s also a picture of the thermistor of the heater bed in the mainsail graph somewhere down there! Unfortuantely, I don’t have free JST connectors on ahdn, so we’re gonna be doing sketchy stuff with a dupont connector in there (the pitches are a bit different, yes, i know it’s crazy sketchy, shhhhh) Anyways, after setting tool stuff to print, went downstairs and (thanks to my dad) got the t screws cut and a 15x15 build plate out of some aluminum (it’s like 1.3-1.6mm thick?). We did have to make it out of sheet aluminum that was laying around, but it came out alright, the holes are just a little misaligned but that’s a bit on me. Anyways, realized the tool stuff printed was super cursed, had to work on redesigning a lot of parts, specifically the sahft collar, the gearing (no more bearings should be needed, all the stuff should be using filament as deadaxles). Anyways, we have to fix this cad stuff (half way done), then hopefully belt the corexy and do electronics while it prints tomorrow (aka, today)? Well, that’s it for now, gotta go fast (sonic reference?), only four days left…
I’ve just been told 75% of my time spent on this log doesn’t count (apparently), so instead of dedicating probably an extra two hours of unlogged time to write a clean version, yall gonna get my thoughts DAILY, straight from the source, raw updatelog content. just kidding, there’s now a world limit so im just gonna speedrun this (since no one reads this and i read my own raw thoughts) 7/2/2026 Mostly electronics work, on 7/1/2026 night, realized that I can actually gently pry off the jst connector shells, removed a good amount of them. Wrote a devlog, worked on tuning the extruder filament tgrabbing gears. After dinner, printed some stuffs, then started adding the corexy belting path. Spent a long time, didn’t really feel very motivated at 3:42 AM and ended the day almost finishing assembling the belts and with not working extruders. 7/3/2026 Woke up early, last night wasn’t a fun night, increased the gear scale, finally actually put the corexy belt together. The filament gears now grab, though it does skip when too much filament is put in. After fixing the shaft collar and adding it back, reassembled the test tool and it attaches! The corexy does have quite a bit of friction, but the tool is assembled! However, waiting on terminal stuffs. Rest of the day is starting the electronics stuff. 7/4/2026 Motors not moving? Removed wires from housing and fix phases, motors now moving! Wondered why one motor was faster, then they both became slow. Fans wired, heaters wired, more testing, heaters can heat up! 7/5/2026 Bad sleep schedule strikes again, some soldering and added the limit switches, more stuff sent to print. A bit of config editing later and the corexy moves properly now! With the correct x and y axis! Filament doesnt really grab very well, idk.More intense filament testing, extruder can reach 230C! 7/6/2026 Really late start, more tool printing, more tool assembly, all tools and extruders are assembled now! 7/7/2026 Schedule and todo list made, support bracket set to print, top shaft supports made a printed, belts tensioned again. Some fixing later, two part inlet case CAD done and sent to print and attached, second tool head also wired up. There’s your week of updatelogs compressed into a format because theres a character limit. From now on, all devlogs will be the updatelogs and not be as extra refined, since I don’t get time counted for writing these, and it’s really a pain and insult to just say that more than a whole 24 hour day worth of actual work doesn’t count because someone added a time limit per log out of nowhere.
7/8/2026 - 75th Update! mfw when the stardance bot tells me that only 10 hours per devlog counts now that’s just rude well, welcome back! 5:01 PM today and starting things off in a bad mood. guess we gotta waste our precious time by cleaning stuff up anyways, 15 minutes later and some serious condensing (each day is like 5 sentences max), back to work! got some unfinished business to do while we work on today’s stuff! so a series of event have occured and now it’s 10:13 PM. oops. for a second i got scared something was wrong but turns out the connecting wire to the inlet thing was just a bit disconnected, trying to access the web interface right now… oh it’s because im on downstairs wifi. oh. gonna be following this for calibration! not exactly sure why there’s so many connection issues today. ok, while that’s connecting, gonna print the latch parts so my s key finally fell off. oh. that’s not good (yes im touching the little button under it) ok, w repair, cleaned it up, the key still does the weird tilt thing, but it stays in there, so that’s good so uh it fell out again. not good. ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss oh i guess im gonna keep that, i just need to be more mindful of where i press it i guess, problem is currently that the mcu keeps disconnecting whenever i change the extruder temperature, which is kinda weird hmm mightve been an electrical thing? so i just spent an hour trying to come up a solution for the extruder, none of them are reliable or possible (rubber band placement just gets in the way). so yeah. whys it working now i guess the solution is grinding the gears down? whys the “rushed for display” extruder the only working one now, wow ok, latches made, no rubber bands since that just doesnt work (both the track and the thing), idk, later issue, right now i guess we’re gonna tune z stuff or gonna just try to make it as flat as possible? i think for now let’s just assume perfect flatness for time, let’s replace the heater section of 1 with the one of 3 and just basically use tool 3 instead for time (since the gearing apparently works???) (please stay that way) i guess making it as flat as possible is the best idea for now ok so it’s now 2:32 AM, the docking bay and the latches are added (ngl, they are bending because of a fillet), gonna ignore the fact that it’s slightly broken (nothing tape can’t fix), it does work, takes a bit of force though (as always) 7/7/2026: DONE - print, assemble, and add latches 7/8/2026 DONE - heating tuning DONE GOOD - z bed tuning GOOD - either assume perfect flatness or work on bed mesh/calibration g code should be able to run easily (simple commands of course) look into how to print stuff PRINTING WORKING BY EOD it’s 2:50 AM, tested it out, IT EXTRUDES! YAY! (like i let go of the filament after pushing it to the cooling area and then it extruded!!! by itself with its own gearing!!!) the clicking noises are a bit questionable but sure, ill take it! also did the z paper thingy! missed opportunity to call it cerberus, i might just add that somewhere… anyways, here’s the extruded stuff picture! woo! i mean, what a way to end the day! ok, it’s 2:56 AM, that’s about it for tonight, gonna copy paste this into the website for today’s log and yeah, good night!
7/9/2026 - 76th Update! yo and welcome back! it’s 8:57 PM at night, don’t have much time to waste now, today’s hopefully printing day? (with the actual printer of course) saw online last night from like a video from 6 years ago that using blue painters tape is a good idea (why does my s key consistently fall out now aaaaa), well look what i got here (figuratively), it’s a roll of scotch blue 2090 tape! ok, watched a couple of enlightening videos, so, i think we’re just gonna use some blue tape, seems pretty much good enough for our purpose, not sure if i really want to get orca slicer just now, i think i just want the printer to at least extrude something at this point in time? center is roughly (50.00, 77.50, ~) right now, ok, wrote a little something to center the stuff so (0, 0, 0) should hopefully be the center? yeah, close enough! ok, it’s probably a good time to apply the tape ok, tape applied, cleaned the nozzle, planning on doing the paper thing right after, then we need to print like something flat real quick (if it works, since we still need to do the config stuff for the extruder) quick 20 minute break to let it cool down later, it’s 11:07 PM, time for the paper stuff! so it doesnt really do a good job at staying level, but i do have a solution in mind, aka, having weights on both the sides to keep it flat. yeah. or a rubber band thing stretching the entire length. anyways, configs inputted! so at this point, the thing we need to focus on is getting the extruder config up and running! ok, set up the slicer with the stuff, gear ratio is start (14) to mid (28->14) to final (28->12), where it ends ok, gonna do a test “print”! it’s in quotes since it’s actually not gonna have any filament, just gonna make sure the motion works/makes sense ok, 12:31 AM, let’s run it! ok, temperature below min or something (as in the gcode stuff) 12:40 AM and still figuring stuff out, hold on a second… ok, it’s running! at least, the stuffs moving, not sure if it’s printing well? idk, gonna watch it go! it’s going! that looks… fairly realistic? idk why the heatbed’s at 60.7C right now ok, 12:54 AM, filament loaded on the top in a semi precarious matter, things are ready! 12:57 AM, here we go! timelapse running on my phone, let’s see it! heat bed termperature good, extruder temperature rising, oh turns out i have to have the tab active for it to update the graph visually, whoops well, reached the temperature, let’s see something? oh it just stopped itself because axis werent homed, ok, test 2! 1:03 AM, z axis is lifting, here we go! hmm so the extruder didnt really try… anything. like it wasnt running the whole time (unless it’s just a really small amount that the gearing cant handle?) ok the issue might just be i didnt push the filament in enough, since i just gave it multiple aggresive tugs and a whole bunch just came out of the nozzle, 1:14 AM, here we go again! (i do not want to know what the weird vapors or gasses it just released (yes i saw it, which isnt a very good thing)) also, wow, the heating controls are tuned really nicely! ok, 1:17 AM, z axis going up again so wasnt extruding anything, had to push on it to move, and that resulted in an obvious pile of sad sad so i feel like this is a bit of a gearing thing, since small amount arent really wanting to come out at least it got the rough shape correct? hmm i want to try it out without me pushing on the filament, expecting nothing to happen but who knows yeah i think its just really under extruding, probably because of slip inside? 1:43 AM, trying again, yep, nothing good, it’s now 2:00 AM, gonna go to sleep at this point yeah. idk. the one on the left is forced filament, the middle had a bit of push at the beginning, the last one was mostly by itself. yeah, idk what to do at this point. it’s 2:03 AM, idk what to do, and yeah, we’re kinda behind schedule. anyways, good night!
7/10/2026 - 77th Update! wow, 77 updates, so it’s now 10:00 PM, idk what happened to this afternoon (basically just vanished, went to some job in the morning, slept when i got home, ate lunch at 4 PM, slept again, ate dinner at 8 PM, then showered and now it’s somehow 10:00 PM) im thinking media is gonna have to be moved to tomorrow, my only goal today is to find diamonds get the printing to work reliably here’s a couple ideas i brainstormed last night increase the extruder heating temperature should make it way easier for the gearing to push as well double check gearing probably not this now that i think about it, but check docs double check rotation distance again, probably correct add extra pressure in the config similar to the first idea as in trying to actually push more filament slow things down even more very sad but self explanatory if we overextrude, that’s ok, we just need to find the tuning sweet spot where it is actually decent, but of course, the more important goal is to actually get some reasonable stream of filament flowing out (constantly extruding is not optimal but it’s whatever) ok, upped the printing temperature by 10C, also decreased a lot of speeds, 10:33 PM, hopefully ready to test? ok, prepping the stuff, gotta clean the nozzle too, ok 10:40 PM, ready to go! well that didnt print anything ok, so shoving filament down the throat extrudes, pushing filament from far above works well (it does slam left and right but still functions fine), the velocity isnt correct AT ALL (might just be from the compression/friction), hmm ive been suggested to look into the heatbreak and stuff, so gonna take a look at that, idk a bit of a break later, the gearing is sus, trying to move it with the top off and only the heatsink attached, seems off it’s been two hours and ive been playing with so so so many configurations (probably at least thirty?), moving spacers, adding rubber bands, readjusting, measuring, and i think ive come to a point where it’s “ok”. it goes out ok (3 rotations of the motor connection results in: ~1.8cm pushing fast, ~1.7cm pushing slow, idk for expected), but it’s basically incapable of going back up for some reason. it also produces a good amount of force out, but, as mentioned before, barely any up (skips a bunch) ok, played around a bit more, idk, retraction worked for a second randomly, idk, installed it back on, ready to test again 3:36 AM, did a couple of cursed things in the config, specifically making it extrude 4x as much, along with making the deretraction speed higher in the slicer, that said, here we go! ey it printed something! its still really fuzzy so i guess we still got more work to do (that was v1.4), ok v1.5 uploaded, let’s see! 4:12 AM, here we go oh yeah also added fancy ending gcode lol hmm, it’s more complete, but stll missing stuff, ok, 4:27 AM, the birds are probably coming out soon, v1.6 going! well that didnt end well huh seems like the issue was just that the filament wasnt fully loaded, whoops ok, v1.7 uploaded with some print skirts on the outside to help with the missing start extruding, flow rate also increased, let’s see, it’s 4:54 AM, so last print of the day! uh oh it seems to be underextruding now, ok, 5:09 AM, here’s v1.8 ow was in the middle of cleaning the print bed and a piece of the skirt just went straight under my fingernail ouch well, with the sun rising, here’s the end of today! imo v1.5/v1.6 is my favorite, but it’s getting there in terms of smaller details, so i think tomorrow one or two more test prints and then a benchy would be a smart move? idk, the benchy’s just for the reveal video (yes i will try to fit in media here!) well, 5:33 AM, that’s it for me tonight (tomorrow morning?), and yeah, good night!
7/11/2026 - 78th Update! in theory, the last one? in reality, probably not. anyways, it’s 3:22 PM, today’s reveal/edit day! of course, i got a bit of table clean up to do and recording, but i also wanted to play around with the settings a little more to get a somewhat better print? (and maybe test another print since this ones a little small) anyways, parent meeting at 5 PM today, gonna be attending on the side while probably editing? im planning on doing two more test prints before then test 1: turned layer speeds from 90mm/s to 70mm/s increase flow ratio from 1.15 to 1.21 decrease skirt loops from 7 to 5 ok, 3:43 PM, sliced and uploaded, heaters all heated, ready to go! gonna use the bathroom, seems to be printing well though! back at 3:55 PM, it printed well and ended well! gonna modify the ending gcode to cool down, analyzing results now! kinda wanna replace the middle tape strip since i kinda messed up and removed a ripped a bit of it while scrapping the skirts off (whoops), gonna go for one more print, im pretty satisfied, this ones gonna be a bigger test print (not a benchy yet though), im thinking calibration cube? test 2: increase flow rate from 1.21 to 1.30 decreae rotation distance from 6.4 to 6.0 increase deretraction speed from 6mm/s to 6.5mm/s decrease jerk for x (5mm/s to 4.5mm/s) y (5mm/s to 4.5mm/s) z (0.2mm/s to 0.175mm/s) x (0.3mm/s to 0.25mm/s) gonna use this makerworld one for this! intrested to see how this one goes! it’s more of a z axis and consistency ending test should have just enough filament? expecting like 2-3cm left on the top after this? might not have enough on the top but that should be fine? hopefully? i mean, if i see the filaments about to run out id rather end the test? idk footage time yeah its kinda… erm. it kinda failed to print beyond the base layer, seems to just struggle with grabbing filament on its side, let me get a straw real quick, nvm, just used a piece of filament taped down for it, i think its just a filament grabbing issue (probably fighting against the curl?), so yeah, this should straighten that out a bit? test 3 (aka, 2 again), decided not to change anything, here we go! gonna focus on footage for this one so that might have been the… worst prints ive seen, but sure ok, just added the filament from the spool, should be ready for a bigger test? test 4: changed max volumetric speed from 5mm^3/s to 3mm^3/s turned flow ratio from 1.3 down to 1.22 rotation distance reverted from 6.0 back to 6.4 oh yeah heres the image of the cube yeah, gonna go for a 50% benchy erm 50 minute print uhh, well, 5:50 PM, now or never, i guess imma setup for a reveal scene ok, created a nice set for filming, gonna be doing mostly footage stuff while this prints, not really any timelapse? i guess i could? ok, hopefully printing and footage done by 7PM, then probably editing or dinner sometime around there (yes, todays the end day i think, at least my goal) ok, quite some time later, gonna speedrun dinner, its 7:31 PM though i was away for a bit before then welcome back, 9:11 PM, did a bit of footage getting earlier, here goes a print so. half way through. turns out our cold end/heatsink or whatever kinda doesnt cool it well enough. essentially, yeah. it just started curling up halfway in. yeah. however, it did successfuly print half of it! test 5: turned layer speeds from 70mm/s to 80mm/s changed max volumetric speed from 4mm^3/s to 3mm^3/s (seems like i forgot to do it whoops) most devious gcode modifications and slicer shenanigans later devious part 2 well, it’s 6:02 AM now, after lots of editing, submitted the forms, time to head off to bed! and yeah, good night!
7/23/2026 - 80th Update! well. so im back from open sauce! actually, flight entered back to NYC on the morning of 7/21/2026, but the last two days have really just trying to get back in motion lol (turns out having crazy fun and instantly returning to “normal life” is somewhat rough) anyways, it’s 9:18 PM, here’s a recap! i dont think timelapsing all the work there would be reasonable (i estimate probably around 8 hours of work?), but yeah, mostly just config tuning and working on irl stuff, the base plate sort of didnt like the flight (but it’s really alright? basically the screws kinda ripped through the tape a bit) after the return flight, one of the LM2596’s input wires fell out, took a bit to get it in (haha get it screwdriver bit), anyways, still got a lot to do, i think for now im gonna just finish the update log on the stardance site, then update all the graphics over here, and yeah, prepare for something new??? (i have some ideas…) anyways, i think im gonna prep the stardance project to ship, idk if i can? ok, 11:00 PM, updated the front image, gonna work on updating some stuff ok, 11:06 PM (almost typed AM, that would be funny), added the open sauce image to the readme, brb! back at 12:42 AM, yeah, i think it’s a good time to ship? mfw fixing the position so the aspect ratio for the banner and the project banner (the different pages) are so so hard to get correct anyways, yeah, gonna copy this stuff over and we should be good to go? well, 1:22 AM, for now, good night!
7/28/2026 - 81st Update! Note: I wrote this back on 7/28/2026 but never published it here! (What? The return of Spark?) Well, not exactly, this is more of a thing for the latest announcement in #stardance-bulletin ! Here’s the edited video from a while back! It’s kinda for vertical/short form content, also, BIG EPILEPSY WARNING!!! While you’re here, you should definitely check out fermion , the “spark v2” in a way! It has a very different architecture (that’s surprisingly hard to cad), so check that out! Anyways, here’s the log without further ado… There’s really not that much to say. On July 26th, Spark was repackaged into a box and put into storage, almost a week after returning to New York City. It’s still in an operational state, with few wires disconnected, only with the WiFi credentials incorrect. For a logged 9 months and 2 weeks, a total of 287 days, with 80 progress updates in that time, Spark’s been on my mind for a long while, no doubt about that. Across the more than 64k words, 240+ hours, from the definitely overscoped original concept to the rush to finish it before Blueprint ended, Spark has existed between two whole YSWS programs, one used for design and one used for build. I have to say, with more than three quarters of a year, a lot has changed, both outside, in my actual life, and with Spark, as the idea changed through every log, slowly and carefully. There were highs and lows, and really, really, low lows, from feeling lost at the end of day 9 of build, to the excitment of the first motor turning during day 11. But now, it’s all neatly packed in the garage, waiting to be used another day. Spark isn’t gone, it still physically exists. It may not be resting on a giant wooden board I use for soldering next to my bed, but it still exists next to me through all the hard CAD and build days. It’s strange, this sudden change. For the last week, I haven’t really done much besides plan. And that’s probably a good thing, given all the planning Spark took. I haven’t really done much build, I haven’t really felt anything. Post convention depressions, I have to say, is hitting pretty hard. After such insane fun and wonder for a week, it’s suddenly back to a cool, rainy day, here in New York City. Sleeping through the afternoon, after sleeping not enough hours in the morning. As the rain starts pouring from the sky again, I’ve been wondering what the meaning of joy is. Alas, it might just be time. Adapting to such changes is obviously difficult, and the road of projects is too. But that doesn’t mean roadstops aren’t along the way. As I wrap up this update log, I want to leave a quick quote, one of my favorites. It probably sounds like a dumb platitude to say “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey”, but truth is, we’re made up of journeys. You’re never going to be who you’re supposed to be unless you take that road. … There is room in there for surprise, for deviations, for re-evaluations. I wouldn’t dare deprive you of that adventure. You only get one , after all. I know, you’re tired; resting is part of the journey too. But not giving up… Winter, in Housepets! (Rick Griffin, Dec 25, 2020) That said, what’s next? Well, first we’re gonna take a stepping stone. What’s next is still in concept form, but the unique constraints might require a custom PCB, which is where river comes in. First, it’s gonna be a quick project, just a custom PCB music player, just to jog the electrical skills. But after a quick skip over a stream, what’s truly next? What’s the successor to Spark? What’s next to rival its top 1 status? Fermion. See ya around.
Ships:
Well, after 120+ hours of building across some 18 days, and another hundred hours of CAD previously, it’s a good time to present Spark, this time irl! Anyways, after last summer, I fell into a sort of hole of demotivation where I didn’t really see what I was “working towards” in terms of school and just waiting six months for the FRC build season to start. In order to try to get my creativity and to prove to myself I wasn’t washed, I decided to throw myself into the deep end and to create a 3D printer. That said, 9 months later and way too many demotivation breaks, I locked in after exams and fully assembled and programmed and tested the build in 18 days! It features a coreXY gantry system, along with a passive tool changing setup with latches and the friction of the top docking piece. This kept the overall motor count to be 5 (2 for xy, 2 for z, 1 for tool). The tool changing setup and printing is nowhere near perfect (after all, this thing’s mostly made of PLA and was programmed in a week), but it’s definitely able to be tuned and better perfected with more programming time! In the end, Spark did achieve its goal of sparking some figurative sparks for me to continue building! After this, it was shipped off and exhibited at Open Sauce in California as part of Outpost where I’ve met amazing people and learned more about 3D printers and how to design them better!
hey! re-ship with an edited video! (and the bonus updatelog!)(NOTE: EPILEPSY WARNING! (it is an edit after all)) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktODngPF7UI ) (i have fond memories of this, it was the saturday before the week of outpost and i stayed up to 6 AM edited, after a full day of getting footage and stuff (and dealing with goofy kdenlive crashes)) i also somehow did 10hrs+ that day so that was pretty insane! anyways, thanks for reviewing :D...
