I have started work on my Purdue University themed webOS, BoilermakerOS. So far I have a wallpaper, welcome window, and bottom bar. I’m most excited about the wallpaper, which I made fairly quickly in Blender. I think I will incorporate the glass material into my theme.
New in my Purdue University themed webOS: Window dragging Gradients 3D rendered window close button Hover over the close button, and it lights up. I achieved this with the CSS :hover selector and two different button images, each rendered with a different light intensity.
I added desktop icons and a new “links” app that has a bunch of Purdue related links. I also wrote some code to make adding new apps simpler.
I added 2 new apps: a weather app and a clock app, both showing information pertaining to West Lafayette (where Purdue University is). I also added a Minecraft-style splash text to the bottom bar that is randomly selected on site load. I finally fixed an issue where renaming a file from “window.js” to “Window.js” wasn’t being picked up by git, probably because in Windows file names are case insensitive.

Got c++ arduino code compiled and running on the esp32-c3. (That too 3 and a half hourrrrssssss…)
Screen shots can be taken and and sent to an esp32. The esp32 doesnt understand it yet tho.
Spent hours converting an image from 24-Bit to 8-Bit and compressing it with RLE (Run Length Encoding). And the image size went from 216KB to roughly 20KB. It’s a MASSIVE improvement. Roughly a 90% file size decrease! (Less quality tho… But it’s smaller)
Troubles with Arduino IDE. will get the problems fixed. I don’t even have 749 lines…
Image decompressing has been added to the esp32 and some error handling has been added to the packet system on both the server and client side.

Developed a first draft of website using AI as a template, and making changes, and adding stuff accordingly. Next, I plan to work on adding LLM integration to modify the calendar based on user prompts to allow for more customizability.
Added page for AI interaction. I plan on using this page to ask the AI for feedback on the schedule, if possible, maybe have the AI auto modify the schedule according to the user’s parameters.
I am working on a database using SQL Alchemy and Flask to allow for data persistence, I want to ensure that users have their data saved even if the app is fully exited. I am also working on implementing a login system using JWT Authentication.
Began implementing Flutter integration with Flask REST API for database.
I am working on adding routes to the API to manage tasks, and finishing the commitments SQL Alchemy class.

I developed a calendar app that merges unmovable commitments, and tasks that the user has to complete to create a customizable schedule for the user automatically....

🫠fusion blew my computer up so i had to shift to onshape
next step is the usb c hole and the firmware!
Case Designing so i basically worked for 2 hours and finished the case and am planning to add more flair like my name and some pokemon later👍
pokemon macropad is done finished the wiring changes, added the 4 rgb leds, wrote the kmk firmware for the encoder and keys, finalized the case in onshape, and wrapped up the submission reqs. fully built, fully working, pokemon themed start to finish
im tilting I added a tilt and this is prolly the coolest thing abt this case. how i did it was i created a rectangle with lenght of the case width. then extrudedd that and rotated it just like the rest of the case. tehn i got the mesurement of the triangle it created. then i extrueded teh triangle. that is the wedge created. next, I added one hole for the screw and insert. since i only get 6 screws and inserts and already used 4, i can only secure the tilt with 2. i had to use a hole instead of the extrude because the screws have to be perpendicualr to the bottom. i also made the insert be in the bottom case instead of the tilt because i didn’t like the vision of the heatset insert being visible
updates and descisions i updated the board by rounding the corners, i updated the 3d models of parts in kicad, and now it looks very good. I also added an OLDE. future i am gonna make my thign look like the orpheuspad like qcoral :). (not copying) but like I would like it to look as clean as it with the round corners and no screw holes on the tops.
Routing done yeah ig thats it, i finished routing, now we gonna cad some more. I also figured out that you can use KMK for all of this. idk what QMK is for if KMK has all of this. ts is just in a harder coding lang
bro what i really dont know waht i did for 3hrs but ig i will devlog i uh imported my pcb into onshape and that took really long ig and i am still tryna figure out why my top case doesnt align with the silkscreen on my pcb
wow i made a lot of updates here they are: usbc hole is rounded added in the pcb started adding in the parts removed my shading and maybe (call me crazy) i might use unshaded some of the time
onshape onshape is soooooo slow, even on unshaded graphics and ambient occlusion and 0%. like this is crazy. just yesterday it was good and now it is horrible
im going crazy finished importing all the parts and moved them out of the main document so my computer doesn’t die opening it found a problem though. the plate is only sized for the upper part of the switch base and not the bottom part so nothing sits right when i put it together gonna need to add some tolerances to the parts too or nothing’s gonna fit clean back to onshape
uhh so um. i was looking at my previous timlapses and i noticed…. that i was idling a ton. so and um.i dont want to count for fraud, so… uh…. my idea was to record my self designing for like 4 hours and would NOT put that in hackatime/lookout/lapse. i would just record it. i i would put it here. but yeah thats what happened. i also got a 3rd layer
production productive I got a good job. I got the HC banner into the bottom, got the under glow led fixated. I was forced to move the old screen because it was too close and I wanted to chamfer the keys. Then I chamfered the keys. i removed the fillets for less ram usage also here are the 2.9 hours that i didn’t record to hackatime: one two three
design im now more focused on designs i added a pikachu and meowth. im ttryna add the pokemon logo. whats cool is that imma make it so the blue part with bbe at a different height from teh yellow and is will be a very cool effect.
holy crappedididapidee I’m almost done and this is like surreal. finally, all my hard work is coming to an end. all my pain suffering diligence is showing as a final product i added a hc logo in the top right. i gave up on the “cool effect” for a pokemon logo bc i keep getting manifold body errors.

almost done early devlog here. im just saing i finsihed teh redo for the holes making them 7mm from the wall instead of 5mm. but now i mchoosing to make them 10mm isntead of 7mm. here it is rn i should be done by next session or max tmmrw

More information about my project here (copied from my README which can be read on my Github Repo): There is no central place where utilties can be easily accessed, such as by pressing your browsers home button or switching tabs.

I hope you really enjoy my website and end up using it yourself :). I’m not going to take down the site anytime soon, and setting the site as the home button on your browser is an easy way to quickly access these simple tools.

The edit buttons accept name renaming and the link, which changes what shows, and what happens once the button is clicked. The link accepts both with and without https:// or http:// . It asks for this information through a popup, as shown below. The data is stored in local storage in the browser, as usual. This has been tested in Google Chrome, but most common browsers should work with this.
I added more styling, and embedded a timeanddate clock, as well as gave the quick links an extra option that can be edited.
Added the weather part to the website. It gets location through the browser, which will now ask for location for that. It’s styling is still a work in progress, but getting weather on here (through an api) is an improvement.
Dark Mode Added! There is now a button that toggles between modes. The logo also now changes colour.
Added to utilities. Added stopwatch (embedded, and changes depending on light/dark mode), notepad (a simple code with script from the internet), and made it so it now has an image section, so you can upload an image, such as a timetable or something else that is needed frequently. The image doesn’t actually upload but converts to base64, and the browser stores it in local storage.
I have been making some mainly invisible changes. Also, I changed the styling for the button as per feedback. I have been reading all my shipment feedback - and if anyone reading this provided me with feedback then thank you! - and I have been deciding how to implement this. One of the suggestions was a search bar. Specifically, DuckDuckGo. I haven’t decided on the search engine I plan to use yet, but it may be DuckDuckGo, as per the suggestion. I have moved the header div tag around a bit to help make it less vertically large to allow a search to blend in better. I encourage people to use this as their home button or new tab on their browser if you want to, and as such I think it was a great suggestion to add the search bar (which I hope I will have done, or made more preparations for and done other changes for by next development log).
I have done lots of changes to the styling and alignment. I also added a map next to the weather. I added more rounding to certain elements, and made changes to the readme.
Made quite a few changes including changing the customise button to a pencil, as per feedback I received.
Quite a lot of styling changes, and now the dark mode is on the same website (as per feedback) and remembers using localstorage the previous selection.
Ships:
Everything is always all over the place. This simple website I created helps bring 6 commonly needed tools and functions into a peaceful workspace. While my website html writing skills are limited, I tried to make the most of what I could do. On top of solving these problems, it also allows the user to enter a space of calm, with lots of whitespace to keep a clear mind. More information about my project here (copied from my README which can be read on my Github Repo): There is no central place where utilties can be easily accessed, such as by pressing your browsers home button or switching tabs. That is why I have made a simple, easy to understand and comfortable HelpMe Utilties, which gives plenty of whitespace for the user to breathe. Some of the features are listed below. I hope you really enjoy my website and end up using it yourself :). I’m not going to take down the site anytime soon, and setting the site as the home button on your browser is an easy way to quickly access these simple tools. After shipping I don’t believe I can add more devlogs, but I will continue to add stuff for my own gain, and for others to enjoy.
I have made a website with helpful utilities that can be easily accessed. I have made many changes from my first ship, mainly based off the feedback I received (though I still plan on actioning more feedback!). Features include: Quick Site Access - Easily access commonly used sites! Edit button to change the quick site access Stores quick access for next time in local storage Time in analog format Weather based off browser location Map showing location that weather is being displayed for Stopwatch Localstorage-stored simple notepad tool Image insert spot for a commonly required image or timetable Search bar for DuckDuckGo Dark mode I am proud of this site, and how I formatted it, as well as my ideas, and how much effort I put in and how much I have coded and worked on it. I hope you enjoy, and if you want, I encourage you to use this as your new tab page, or home button on your browser! Note: Some people can’t see the clock, and that is not a problem with my development, and is because of ad blocks and other software and networking blocking time and date widgets I believe....

i designed the first draft for the second pipe “cover” as there is two, with this pipe i decided too go for a different approach and have the “cover” go on the inside instead of covering it form the outside
I have decided that the second pipe is easier for me to buy from the store as there is already an existing one and the one i had made had failed. i also printed the second version of the pipe cover and it did not fit so i have restored the old four hole version and deleted those holes and created 3 mm holes instead to follow a similar design the failed one.

First, I finally redrew all of the sprites! This took the longest out of anything else, but it was very much worth the effort. I learned a lot more about pixel art using Aseprite, and I think the sprites came out very well. First, using references from Google, I remade the rocket. Then, I made 3 different sprites for asteroids and 3 for explosions. For the explosions, I learned about using several different colors/tones to create depth, and they look very good inside the game. Both explosions and asteroids will have their sprites chosen randomly when initalized. Then, I remade the bullet sprite. At first I thought I wanted it to be a missile, but it looked weird, so I just made it a fireball and it turned out very well. I used the same principles from the explosions for it. Finally, I drew a background. I made some preset stars and then pasted them throughout the whole thing. I made some balancing adjustments. First, I made it so that the player can only shoot twice per second, as before it was 4 and quite overpowered. Then, I made it so that the minimum interval at which asteroids could spawn decreased over time as the score increased. I did this by subtracting the score multiplied by 0.005 . This makes it so that asteroids spawn 50% faster by the time the player gets to score 100. I then added sounds! I was able to get free public domain (CC0 licensed) sounds from this website called Open Game Art , and then used Audacity to make a loop and edit them to fit the game. I got one for the background music and made it loop infinitely and more-or-less perfectly. Then, I got one for shooting. Alongside the sounds I also added a system for keeping track of the sound’s volumes. This was kind of hard to figure out, but eventually I was able to make a dictionary and then a function that would toggle the volumes between 0 and 1. I had to do this because Pygame doesn’t have a feature to “group” audios or mute globally, and the background music plays constantly but the shooting sound plays ocasionally. I reworked some of the “UIs”. They are still kind of lackluster, but I added a main menu that the player has to press the space key to enter the game, and shows the controls. Then, I made a game over screen and show the player’s final score. I also made the window have a caption and icon. The icon is just the first explosion sprite. I compiled the games into executable files. PyInstaller requires using a special resources function to get paths. This was quite easy to change to, since I have my functions to load assets in one file. I had some troubles with the paths, still, and I ended up moving everything outside of the ./src directory last-minute. The hard part about this was that I switched to Linux a few days before making this project, so I didn’t have another machine to compile the Windows version of the release. At first I found a guide that I could do it through Wine, and then I had to install a Docker image of Ubuntu that had it all set up, but it ended up not working. I ended up just setting up a Windows 11 virtual machine using Gnome Boxes (much easier than having to set up QEMU). It took me a while but it should work. It runs as expected on the VM (Windows Defender notification will pop up but that’s a problem with PyInstaller). I’m probably missing some stuff, as this was quite a while, but yeah. The game is finished."}, {"post_id": 26374, "ts": "2026-07-11T03:52:51Z", "hours": 1.5922, "text": "Quite a few improvements, though the codebase gets even more convoluted. I added explosions. This is pretty simple, just adding a Explosion class, and tracking delta-time against a set lifespan. An explosion will last 1/10th of a second, which I think is good enough. I then added a score display. A score tracked by the main game class. When a player shoots down an asteroid, 1 will be added to the score. I added a main menu and pausing. Usually this would be done in a much nicer way, perhaps with an external library, but I decided to make a few simple screens and display them when variables are True. The player can pause with the Esc. key, and it will toggle a variable paused that is False by default. I also have the main menu, which is True by default and is only toggled at the beginning. Finally, I have one for the game over screen, which is False by default and only toggles when the player has no more lives left. When any of these are True , the sprites will not update, and the game will only listen for input. Overall, the game is basically done and I just need to polish it. I will likely be redrawing the sprites next."}, {"post_id": 25760, "ts": "2026-07-10T06:29:24Z", "hours": 2.5881, "text": "Lots of improvements! All movement is framerate-independent. I did this by tracking delta-time.I could multiply all the movement deltas by the amount of seconds between frames. This will make the game smoother for everyone despite computer specs. I got rid of the global settings file. All speeds were moved into their respective classes, and the main game now has its own Game class. This makes it generally easier, as now I don’t have to wire so many variables between functions and all. Collisions between the player and asteroid, as well as asteroid and ground are checked. When either of these happens, one of the player’s lives will be removed and the sprite will start blinking. This allows me to have a sort of I-frame where if it is blinking it can not take damage, making it somewhat easier for the player. The game will end when the player has no lives left. Pausing has been implemented, mostly to allow me to record for now, lol. I drew up a heart sprite, which will also be getting redesigned along with everything else. It’s coming along great!"}, {"post_id": 25390, "ts": "2026-07-09T17:30:45Z", "hours": 2.2192, "text": "I made some pretty simple changes to the overall codebase but now it’s much cleaner. Instead of storing all globals like movement speed inside the single settings.py file, I moved them into attributes of their own classes. Sprites are now loaded in the __init__ method of their classes. Previously, I was under the impression that this was not possible because you needed to run pygame.init() before you used the .convert() (and similar) methods after loading the image.

This overall makes the code much cleaner, as now I don’t have to load in the sprites in the main file. Also, it was getting quite challenging to deal with figuring out ways to pass sprites into functions like player.shoot() so that it would spawn in a Bullet correctly. I am now using .convert_alpha() instead of .convert() , which allows the sprites to have transparency (as seen in picture 2). I had been saving all of the sprites as .png files, but they had a black background when overlapping with other sprites (as seen in picture 3). With this, it actually allows for transparency and looks much nicer. I added meteors. This was actually quite easy, just another class like the Bullet class but falling downwards. Pygame has this really nice feature where I can check for all collisions between all sprites from any 2 groups like so. pygame.sprite.groupcollide() takes in 2 sprite groups ( pygame.sprite.Group ), 2 booleans representing whether to remove the sprite right after, and a callback function. This will be useful later for adding explosions and score. They also spawn at a constant interval regardless of FPS. I did that by using delta-time and adding a counter to get the amount of milliseconds since the last frame. A meteor will spawn every 250 milliseconds. I find that this is a playable amount for now.

This took somewhat longer than I would’ve expected, but first devlog! I first got a very basic window going, nothing much to say. Then, for the player, I decided to make it its own class. This is because, from my research, games made in Pygame are programmed in OOP ( O bject O riented P rogramming), where each thing is its own class. I also want to draw my own sprites and stuff. Luckily, I purchased Aseprite a while ago on Steam, so I quickly drew up a basic rocket (second image). This will change in the future, but for now it’s just a very basic placeholder.
Again it takes longer than I would’ve thought, but I implemented movement.

It’s a little complex as of right now because of the sort of unique way Pygame projects are structured, but I think it’s coming along very well.
I made some pretty drastic changes, but for the better. First, I added shooting. I drew up a quick bullet sprite (also getting changed in the future). The main thing with this was that I wanted to have the Player class have its own .shoot() method, but that required me to pass the sprite Group object, as well as the actual sprite image into the function. I searched for a “better” solution for a while but ultimately couldn’t find one. The shoot() method handles the placement, the creation of the Bullet object, and adding it into the Group .

The one roadblock I came across here was that the paths to the assets were kind of confusing, but I figured it out quickly. Overall, I think it’s coming along great!
I made some pretty simple changes to the overall codebase but now it’s much cleaner. Instead of storing all globals like movement speed inside the single settings.py file, I moved them into attributes of their own classes. Sprites are now loaded in the __init__ method of their classes. Previously, I was under the impression that this was not possible because you needed to run pygame.init() before you used the .convert() (and similar) methods after loading the image. However, I was putting it outside of the class, so it would always run before running pygame.init() . This overall makes the code much cleaner, as now I don’t have to load in the sprites in the main file. Also, it was getting quite challenging to deal with figuring out ways to pass sprites into functions like player.shoot() so that it would spawn in a Bullet correctly. I am now using .convert_alpha() instead of .convert() , which allows the sprites to have transparency (as seen in picture 2). I had been saving all of the sprites as .png files, but they had a black background when overlapping with other sprites (as seen in picture 3). With this, it actually allows for transparency and looks much nicer. I added meteors. This was actually quite easy, just another class like the Bullet class but falling downwards. Pygame has this really nice feature where I can check for all collisions between all sprites from any 2 groups like so. pygame.sprite.groupcollide() takes in 2 sprite groups ( pygame.sprite.Group ), 2 booleans representing whether to remove the sprite right after, and a callback function. This will be useful later for adding explosions and score. They also spawn at a constant interval regardless of FPS. I did that by using delta-time and adding a counter to get the amount of milliseconds since the last frame. A meteor will spawn every 250 milliseconds. I find that this is a playable amount for now. Shooting now has a cooldown. I do this in the same way as the asteroid spawning. The player can shoot 4 times per second. Next thing to do is to add lives and subtract them when the player gets hit with a meteorite.
Lots of improvements! All movement is framerate-independent. I did this by tracking delta-time.I could multiply all the movement deltas by the amount of seconds between frames. This will make the game smoother for everyone despite computer specs. I got rid of the global settings file. All speeds were moved into their respective classes, and the main game now has its own Game class. This makes it generally easier, as now I don’t have to wire so many variables between functions and all. Collisions between the player and asteroid, as well as asteroid and ground are checked. When either of these happens, one of the player’s lives will be removed and the sprite will start blinking. This allows me to have a sort of I-frame where if it is blinking it can not take damage, making it somewhat easier for the player. The game will end when the player has no lives left. Pausing has been implemented, mostly to allow me to record for now, lol. I drew up a heart sprite, which will also be getting redesigned along with everything else. It’s coming along great!
Quite a few improvements, though the codebase gets even more convoluted. I added explosions. This is pretty simple, just adding a Explosion class, and tracking delta-time against a set lifespan. An explosion will last 1/10th of a second, which I think is good enough. I then added a score display. A score tracked by the main game class. When a player shoots down an asteroid, 1 will be added to the score. I added a main menu and pausing. Usually this would be done in a much nicer way, perhaps with an external library, but I decided to make a few simple screens and display them when variables are True. The player can pause with the Esc. key, and it will toggle a variable paused that is False by default. I also have the main menu, which is True by default and is only toggled at the beginning. Finally, I have one for the game over screen, which is False by default and only toggles when the player has no more lives left. When any of these are True , the sprites will not update, and the game will only listen for input. Overall, the game is basically done and I just need to polish it. I will likely be redrawing the sprites next.
I have done a lot and decided to just bundle it into one last big devlog, but the work was well worth it! First, I finally redrew all of the sprites! This took the longest out of anything else, but it was very much worth the effort. I learned a lot more about pixel art using Aseprite, and I think the sprites came out very well. First, using references from Google, I remade the rocket. Then, I made 3 different sprites for asteroids and 3 for explosions. For the explosions, I learned about using several different colors/tones to create depth, and they look very good inside the game. Both explosions and asteroids will have their sprites chosen randomly when initalized. Then, I remade the bullet sprite. At first I thought I wanted it to be a missile, but it looked weird, so I just made it a fireball and it turned out very well. I used the same principles from the explosions for it. Finally, I drew a background. I made some preset stars and then pasted them throughout the whole thing. I made some balancing adjustments. First, I made it so that the player can only shoot twice per second, as before it was 4 and quite overpowered. Then, I made it so that the minimum interval at which asteroids could spawn decreased over time as the score increased. I did this by subtracting the score multiplied by 0.005 . This makes it so that asteroids spawn 50% faster by the time the player gets to score 100. I then added sounds! I was able to get free public domain (CC0 licensed) sounds from this website called Open Game Art , and then used Audacity to make a loop and edit them to fit the game. I got one for the background music and made it loop infinitely and more-or-less perfectly. Then, I got one for shooting. Alongside the sounds I also added a system for keeping track of the sound’s volumes. This was kind of hard to figure out, but eventually I was able to make a dictionary and then a function that would toggle the volumes between 0 and 1. I had to do this because Pygame doesn’t have a feature to “group” audios or mute globally, and the background music plays constantly but the shooting sound plays ocasionally. I reworked some of the “UIs”. They are still kind of lackluster, but I added a main menu that the player has to press the space key to enter the game, and shows the controls. Then, I made a game over screen and show the player’s final score. I also made the window have a caption and icon. The icon is just the first explosion sprite. I compiled the games into executable files. PyInstaller requires using a special resources function to get paths. This was quite easy to change to, since I have my functions to load assets in one file. I had some troubles with the paths, still, and I ended up moving everything outside of the ./src directory last-minute. The hard part about this was that I switched to Linux a few days before making this project, so I didn’t have another machine to compile the Windows version of the release. At first I found a guide that I could do it through Wine, and then I had to install a Docker image of Ubuntu that had it all set up, but it ended up not working. I ended up just setting up a Windows 11 virtual machine using Gnome Boxes (much easier than having to set up QEMU). It took me a while but it should work. It runs as expected on the VM (Windows Defender notification will pop up but that’s a problem with PyInstaller). I’m probably missing some stuff, as this was quite a while, but yeah. The game is finished.
Ships:
I made Asteroid Shooter, a space invaders-like game where you shoot asteroids. I made it with Pygame (community edition), pixel art made manually in Aseprite by me, public domain sounds, and a lot of trial and error. It tracks the player’s score, and it gets harder slowly over time. Overall, I learned more about Pygame (sounds, graphics, user input, OOP, etc.), pixel art, and game design....

Everything below runs at retrace-osu.vercel.app now. Recap of the whole thing: The replay engine: The core of the site. You drop a .osr and it gets decoded entirely in your browser, the beatmap is auto-fetched by its hash, and then a reconstruction engine re-judges the whole play from the raw cursor and key data: every circle, slider follow-circle and spinner spin. It handles note stacking, stable’s notelock behavior, and mod clock rates properly, and the reconstructed judgements come out within a hit or two of the real scoreboard numbers. From that you get UR, timing bias, early/late split, per-section breakdown, and pattern splits (jumps, streams, bursts, spaced control) that know the difference between a 180bpm stream and that same stream with DT on. The autopsy tools: A replay viewer with the actual slider paths, approach circles, miss markers and cursor trail, that now works like a proper video editor: quarter speed, frame stepping, keyboard shortcuts, and clickable miss timestamps that jump you to two seconds before each choke. You can even load a second replay of the same map as a green ghost cursor and watch where your lines diverge. There’s a playfield miss map, a hands panel that tells you your k1/k2 split, whether you single-tap or alternate and at what bpm you give in and switch, and whether you snap or flow aim, all measured from the frames. The coach: Every analysis ends with strengths, leaks and practice drills derived from the measurements, plus an AI review that gets fed only measured facts (mod-adjusted stars, real clock rate, strain curve) so it can’t hallucinate numbers. My favorite part is the difficulty overlay: it draws the map’s strain curve behind your per-section UR, so it can tell you whether you fall apart at the hard parts (skill wall) or the easy parts (focus problem). Those need completely different fixes and no other tool makes the distinction. Farm maps: Sign in and it profiles your top 100: your real mod combos with each one’s median accuracy, your comfort star band, and your aim/speed lean measured with rosu-pp. Then it prices candidate maps under your actual mods at your actual accuracy and, this is the important bit, ranks them by the real gain to your weighted total, not the raw pp fantasy. A “400pp play” that nets you 0.6pp gets buried. There’s also a chokes tab that finds plays in your bests worth fixing, and a ceiling number showing your total if you cleaned all of them. Informatics: Type any username: mod-combination picker over their top 100 (exact combos, HD means HD only), pp milestones, 90-day rank graph, and trivia like their oldest surviving play, their most farmed mapper, their grade split and how much of their profile one play carries. Countries get a top-50 deep scan: hidden prodigies by pp per hour, the “national anthem” (the map half the country has in their bests), the oldest relic score still standing, the closest rivalry (Pakistan has two players literally 0pp apart), scene depth, farm diversity. Plus a side-by-side player compare page. History: Every analyzed replay saves to your browser, nothing uploaded. Bulk-drop your whole Replays folder and it aggregates: which weaknesses recur across your plays, your UR trend, and per-map progress when you’ve analyzed the same map more than once. Everything else: osu!-style UI with the triangles, 30-day sessions with token refresh, PNG share cards, link embeds, installable as an app, and a disk cache so the osu!

You drop a .osr and it gets decoded entirely in your browser, the beatmap is auto-fetched by its hash, and then a reconstruction engine re-judges the whole play from the raw cursor and key data: every circle, slider follow-circle and spinner spin. It handles note stacking, stable’s notelock behavior, and mod clock rates properly, and the reconstructed judgements come out within a hit or two of the real scoreboard numbers. From that you get UR, timing bias, early/late split, per-section breakdown, and pattern splits (jumps, streams, bursts, spaced control) that know the difference between a 180bpm stream and that same stream with DT on. The autopsy tools: A replay viewer with the actual slider paths, approach circles, miss markers and cursor trail, that now works like a proper video editor: quarter speed, frame stepping, keyboard shortcuts, and clickable miss timestamps that jump you to two seconds before each choke. You can even load a second replay of the same map as a green ghost cursor and watch where your lines diverge. There’s a playfield miss map, a hands panel that tells you your k1/k2 split, whether you single-tap or alternate and at what bpm you give in and switch, and whether you snap or flow aim, all measured from the frames. The coach: Every analysis ends with strengths, leaks and practice drills derived from the measurements, plus an AI review that gets fed only measured facts (mod-adjusted stars, real clock rate, strain curve) so it can’t hallucinate numbers. My favorite part is the difficulty overlay: it draws the map’s strain curve behind your per-section UR, so it can tell you whether you fall apart at the hard parts (skill wall) or the easy parts (focus problem). Those need completely different fixes and no other tool makes the distinction. Farm maps: Sign in and it profiles your top 100: your real mod combos with each one’s median accuracy, your comfort star band, and your aim/speed lean measured with rosu-pp. Then it prices candidate maps under your actual mods at your actual accuracy and, this is the important bit, ranks them by the real gain to your weighted total, not the raw pp fantasy. A “400pp play” that nets you 0.6pp gets buried. There’s also a chokes tab that finds plays in your bests worth fixing, and a ceiling number showing your total if you cleaned all of them. Informatics: Type any username: mod-combination picker over their top 100 (exact combos, HD means HD only), pp milestones, 90-day rank graph, and trivia like their oldest surviving play, their most farmed mapper, their grade split and how much of their profile one play carries. Countries get a top-50 deep scan: hidden prodigies by pp per hour, the “national anthem” (the map half the country has in their bests), the oldest relic score still standing, the closest rivalry (Pakistan has two players literally 0pp apart), scene depth, farm diversity. Plus a side-by-side player compare page. History: Every analyzed replay saves to your browser, nothing uploaded. Bulk-drop your whole Replays folder and it aggregates: which weaknesses recur across your plays, your UR trend, and per-map progress when you’ve analyzed the same map more than once. Everything else: osu!-style UI with the triangles, 30-day sessions with token refresh, PNG share cards, link embeds, installable as an app, and a disk cache so the osu! API doesn’t hate me.The whole thing is client-first: your replays never leave your machine, the server only does pp math and API relaying. Go break it and tell me what’s wrong.
Ships:
I made retrace, a replay autopsy too for osu! standard. You basically drop your replay file in and it analyzes it after reconstructing your whole play. It then tells you what when wrong and why. Now the core eingine takes your replay frames and re-judges every circle, slider and spinner against the real hit windows while taking into account sstacking, notelock and mods. IT gives you your UR, timing bias and section by section breakdowns while splitting stuff into patterns so it can tell you stuff like you’re bad at streams instead of you have an inconsistent UR It has a replay viewer that is basically a minivideo player with everything rendered properly, you can slow it down, frame step, jump straight to a miss and even load ghost replays on top to compare. Theres actual AI-powered coaching (openrouter free grok api :D), its tuned to tell you if youre hitting as genuine skill wall, losing focus or any other major problem and helps you get better. Theres farm reccomendation that scales and ranks maps based on your playstyle and actual played maps (while also telling you what maps you could go back to and fix a choke). It has alot of stats and trivia if you want to compare stats bw two players or get data on a country (top 50 tho) It also has local history so you can drop alot of replays in and it could give you a consolidated overivew....

I’m actually hyped to see what people submit. If this goes well, StardustOS might lowkey have a whole community vibe, which is kinda insane to think about. Anyway…So today wasn’t one of those “add 20 features” days. It was more like: “make everything feel real.” And somehow… that took more effort than building half the UI. lol First thing I focused on was interaction. Not just clicking stuff and seeing “coming soon”… but making it feel like something wants to respond. Windows now actually exist. Like… proper floating windows. You click something, it opens, it animates, it feels alive. And the best part? You can drag them around. I literally spent way too long just dragging a window across the screen like “yeah… this is it.” Yeah so… I added a video as the desktop background. An actual looping video. Of course the browser tried to block autoplay (ofc it did) So I had to manually trigger play in JS. Now it works and honestly…this should not feel this cool. Also added the classic three buttons: close, minimize, maximize. And yes, maximize actually works. Not fake maximize. REAL maximize. IG this is the moment where it stopped being “just UI” and started becoming… something else. Then I went a bit deeper. Z-index system. Which sounds boring, but trust me it’s not when your windows start fighting for attention. Now when you click a window, it comes to the front properly. No weird layering bugs. No “why is this behind that” moments. Everything just behaves. And honestly?That alone made it feel 10x more polished. Then…I built my first real app. A calculator. Nothing crazy, but also… not basic either. It actually works like a real one: operations, decimals, percentages, sign toggle…And yeah, I tested dividing by zero. It didn’t explode, so we’re good. Seeing an actual working app inside something I built from scratch? That was a moment! Like… this isn’t just a concept anymore. It’s doing things. Small things, sure. But real things. Also tweaked animations a bit more. Open, minimize, transitions…Everything feels smoother now. Not perfect. But definitely not “school project energy” anymore.
