I started working on a mathematics equation solver webapp last year. And after creating its most basic version, I moved forward. But now, I thought I need to add some more features i it. Here is a feature that I have added: Showing step-by-step solution of Linear equation. See the equation going towards solution at each step. What’s next? Looking forward to add the same feature for quadratic equations
Implemented step by step solution for quadratic equations. Now, you can see each step of quadratic equation getting solved. Separate solutions are available for both roots.
Integrated function-plot library for showing graphs of equations with highlighted roots. You can zoom in or out and see the roots.
Now, mathemactor also supports imaginary roots for quadratic equations. But, graph is not available for equations with complex/imaginary roots.
Ships:
I created a mathematics equation solver webapp. The equation solution handling part was a bit tricky, but I managed to do it. This app is for users who know even basic maths.
I updated my project. Added graphs using function-plot library with highlighted roots for linear, quadratic and simultaneous linear equations. Imaginary roots are also supported now....

I made The Ares Horizon, a Python space adventure game where you play as a NASA Flight Director. Since my last ship, I over-hauled the game by adding a brand-new landing minigame with 3 difficulties, branch-linked storylines, and dynamic custom themes. What was challenging? Ditching Tkinter for Pygame was tough because I had to learn the library from scratch to eliminate bugs. I also lost 5 hours failing to host it on the web via noVNC/Docker, forcing me to stick to an .exe. Fixing cross-platform crashes and making it run smoothly on Python 3.14 was a huge headache. What are you proud of? I’m proud of building a robust Pygame + Tkinter interface with zero prior experience. The settings menu features a slick volume slider that changes color dynamically, a factory reset, and a text-speed slider. I also successfully added a seamless “Try Again” tracker without long loading screens. What should people know so they can test your project? Windows: Go to the Releases page and download the The.Ares.Horizon.exe file to play instantly. Mac/Linux: Follow the new README steps to install system dependencies (sdl2) and run inside a Python virtual environment. Python 3.14: Run pip install pygame --ce to avoid compilation errors.

Added 1st Choice Branch, worked on storyline, started to work on 2nd choice branch
Finished all the choice, added typewriter function and color function. Changed how I want the text to be displayed when the code is running. Added background music. Made the background audio in Canva
Added GUI to my games, fixed countless errors and bugs, added a loaded screen, Made it so that the buttons are interactive and only popup when the typing is finished. Added more colors to my text. Progress bar for the points.
Currently working on my README for this project and before this I just fix a few things in my code. Added a background music loop that loops the audio forever and then fixed a crash bug
Finished my README and fixed crash bug with typewriter when the window is closed while it is typing
v 1.0.1 is incoming!! What’s New: Switched from the package of playsound to ctypes New SFXs, listen to them in the attachment (After this update rolls out, I will be working on given the user the freedom to customize how they want the game to look) Turn up your sound to listen to the sounds I cut out the parts where I selected options so that I don’t reveal the answers, if you want to try it out your self head over The Ares Horizon Repo
I cleaned up the UI and linked the Solar Sails choice in branch 2 to the ending choice of branch 1. I know I promised that the update after the SFX one would be customization but I want to focus more on the game itself so I would just be adding a Dark and Light mode. And doing more customization options later.
v2.0.0 I think?? What’s New: New Landing minigame!! 3 difficulties The minigame features SPIKES!! Improved GUI Changes: I orginally started building my game on tkinter thinking it would be easy because my rest of the code was build on it, but I was wrong, it was so annoying to work with and caused so many bugs that I decided to switch to pygame I have never worked with pygame before so I ha to learn and then figure out a way to combine tkinter and pygame . Also, pygame is not supported in Python 3.14 so I had to do pip install pygame --ce the community edition I got it to work and I am so proud The video is a bit speed up
Fixed the bug made the buttons disappear if your screen was too small or you weren’t fullscreened
My first ship is finally here, after 3 changes requested, I added a try again screen so the user doesn’t have to through the loading when they try again now it just shows there tries. Thanks for the idea from my first ship.

What’s New: I added Reset All Settings to default button, to reset every thing to the “Factory Setting” New setting, users can adjust how fast the typewriter writes on the screen If the user passes the mini game and lands successfully, they would unlock the option to just play the minigame instead of have to go through the the whole story again Notes: I promised that I will release web, I tried, failed miserably, so I am just releasing a new .exe I tried everything to pygame , didn’t work out, then tried to host it on noVNC, it acted up to, I finally gave up after 5 hrs of trying, didn’t count that because that was trial and error and not actual coding (although I did had to make and modify my Dockerfile like a 100 times)
Devlog #14 What I did: So after I 2nd ship, I went to AirVenture so no code there, It ruined my streak So I have finally, finally pushed the code on the web by making it entirely pygame then I ran pygbag so it is now finally live on GitHub Pages Proud of myself, there is still some work to do like fixing bugs Notes: My ship rating reasons suggested to add graphics so currently working on that I also have to improve the loading screen, looks like shit The biggest bug was getting the character and line spacing right, funny ik
Devlog #15, this is a big one What i did: So graphics are finally in I would say New hover effects like button glowing CRT lines, I first added them, didn’t go as planned removed em it the felt dead for some reason so added that back again Light mode The major one, improved the mini-game, a lot, it take up the whole screen now instead of just a section like it was earlier, it has added particle effects, and actual landing zone, star backgroud, fuel and velocity control The mini game looks real good but there are some bugs, many I would say I am currently working on fixing sizing issues with GitHub pages, I think pygbag is causing it via my deploy.yml Notes: When the bugs are removed and the sizing issue is fixed I think I will be ready to ship once more
Devlog #16, posting this while at school 🏫 What I did: Fixed bugs in my minigame, there are still some left to resolve Fixed a bug where when you press try again, it put the user directly in the story mode even if they wished to play the mingame Fixed of bug of the emergency glow, it kept glowing after u pressed try again Rewrote parts of code I used AI in Removed and added new comments to make it more clear and not so chaotic Fixed the pygbag sizing issue Last thing, I previously had my setting.json file in the .gitignore for testing purposes and I forgot about it so my settings are what were seen by others instead of the factory settings they should have seen Notes: Fix minigame Optimize for low end devices Possibly add mobile or tablet support?? Make new v3.0.0 releases?? Releases for many OS??
Ships:
I made my own choice python adventure game where the player takes a high-stake role of a Flight Director at NASA and there objective is to successfully launch, navigate and land a spacecraft on the surface of Mars. To play the game follow the steps in the README. (The game uses Desktop-Based GUI, so it cannot be hosted on clouds and has to run on your local computer). I am proud of how I made it look cinematic and similar to a NASA mission control terminal.
What did you make? I made The Ares Horizon, a Python space adventure game where you play as a NASA Flight Director. Since my last ship, I over-hauled the game by adding a brand-new landing minigame with 3 difficulties, branch-linked storylines, and dynamic custom themes. What was challenging? Ditching Tkinter for Pygame was tough because I had to learn the library from scratch to eliminate bugs. I also lost 5 hours failing to host it on the web via noVNC/Docker, forcing me to stick to an .exe. Fixing cross-platform crashes and making it run smoothly on Python 3.14 was a huge headache. What are you proud of? I’m proud of building a robust Pygame + Tkinter interface with zero prior experience. The settings menu features a slick volume slider that changes color dynamically, a factory reset, and a text-speed slider. I also successfully added a seamless “Try Again” tracker without long loading screens. What should people know so they can test your project? Windows: Go to the Releases page and download the The.Ares.Horizon.exe file to play instantly. Mac/Linux: Follow the new README steps to install system dependencies (sdl2) and run inside a Python virtual environment. Python 3.14: Run pip install pygame --ce to avoid compilation errors. Warning: Turn down the audio in the custom Settings menu if the default launch mix is too loud....

When I first started this game, it was completely different. It was about a spaceship with a wrecking ball, which you had to use to mine resources and destroy enemies. The idea had potential, but it was too difficult to implement it in a way that would be fun for the player, so I scrapped it and pivoted ideas. There were a lot of problems with optimization. I was able to make it better, even though it still isn’t completely smooth, it’s much better. I used object pooling for this, so instead of enemies and asteroids being spawned each time, they just enable and disable. I faced a lot of problems with the music, since I’m not a music guy. I’ve tried to make music before, but it never turns out good. This time, I think it turned out pretty well. I used JummBox (a different version of BeepBox). Another challenge I faced was knowing when to stop. I have a lot of ideas to add to this, but I realized that if I did all of it, it would be a waste of time. All the ideas I have for the game won’t help me learn anything. That’s why I have been doing so many other ysws events, which is also why there is such a big gap between my second-last and last devlog. That’s basically it. I had a lot of fun making the game, and hopefully it’s going to be accepted!

But yeah, thanks!"}, {"post_id": 27840, "ts": "2026-07-13T18:41:17Z", "hours": 8.3661, "text": "Thanks for Mining That! Devlog 6 of my Unity Game It’s been more than a week since my last devlog. I’ve mostly been focused on fixing bugs, polishing, and some other stuff. For those who are new, I am making a very chaotic game where you have no weapons, but you need to mine resources, so you have to dodge enemies making them crash into asteroids, mining resources, and destroying themselves in the process. You can use tools to help you, but to craft tools, you need resources. I now have three Hackatime projects connected to this game. Before, I had two, one tracked my Unity time, and another tracked my coding time. Now, for some reason, after I built the game for the first time to test stuff out, a new project popped up that tracks my Unity time, and my old Hackatime project no longer tracks my Unity time. Doesn’t really make much sense. What I mainly worked on: Stats/End Screen Saving Sounds Black Hole Bug-fixing Other stuff Stats/End Screen I added an end screen to the game, where after you finish the game, it shows you all your stats, of the completed run, and all runs. You can click new run to create a new run, and play again. I’m pretty sure someone had suggested this in one of my older devlogs, and it sounded like a good idea. The hardest part of all of this was the saving. Saving This is my first game I implemented real saving to. I have made some games before where I had a small amount of saving, but this time I really tried. I created a whole another script called StatsManager which controls saving and the stats screen. It does not save your current game, and by that I mean if you were in the middle of playing, and leave, it does not resume where you left off. It just saves all your coins, tools, and other stats. Sounds I added some sound effects and also added the background music to my game. I still have to tweak some of the volumes since some sound effects are a bit too loud, but it’s good enough for now. Black Hole I don’t want to give away too much, but the black hole is the final tool, which you can only unlock after unlocking all other tools, and requires a lot of coins and takes a lot of resources to craft. It’s the tool before you finish the game. Bugs Quite a lot of bugs. I think I fixed most of them, but there are probably a few I didn’t notice. Other Stuff I finished making all the tool icons and their sprites in Aseprite. I added them to the game, but for some reason, they look much worse in the game than in Aseprite. Not blurry or anything like that, it just doesn’t feel right. But I don’t want to redo anything, so I just changed some stuff in the sprites and kept them how they were. I also finally added the radiation zone sprite, and the barrier now deals damage and pushes the player away. What I have to add Below are a list of things I have to add to the game ㅤ UI Polish (Sounds and animations) Tools polish (Effects, sounds) General Effects Overall Polish So that’s it for this devlog. Any feedback appreciated. The screenshot below shows all my tool icons and sprites I made.

Note: I had to redo the whole devlog because the site decided that if I post a devlog which is higher than the character count, it will get completely deleted! So my devlog may not be completely formatted very nicely. I have also lost 8 hours because I have two devlogs that are fourteen hours. I can atleast understand the second one since it was my fault I forgot to post a devlog, so I had to combine two devlogs. But the first devlog was before the announcement about the 10 hour limit. Anyways, back to the devlog ㅤ For those who are new, I am making a game where you have no weapons, but you need to mine resources, so you have to dodge enemies making them crash into asteroids, mining resources, and destroying themselves in the process. What I mainly worked on: Finishing tool functionality UI Title Pixel Art Bug-fixing Other stuff Tools I thought I had finished the functionality last devlog, but there were a few things to fix. The main one, was the Asteroid Forge, which took me like 3 hours to fix completely, and I had explained all the issues before my devlog got deleted, but I’m too tired to write it again a second time. UI I finished all my pixel art UI, and implemented it in game. It should look pretty good now. I had explained how I had created all of them, but it all got deleted. Title I made a title pixel art, look at screenshot to see part of it. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so it took much longer than it needed to, and I’m still not satisfied with how it turned out. BUGS A LOT OF BUGS. Especially with the asteroid forge, and also some in inventory and other stuff. Other Stuff I decided to make my own music, which I’ve tried multiple times with no good results. I’m using JummBox, and it’s going not good. I also forgot to record it with Lapse, so lost an hour of my work, so nine hours total I’ve lost. I’ve also only finished 10 seconds of the background music, after an hour. I finished implementing the enemy type. Made four tool icons, three were pretty good, one wasn’t that good I also added some other stuff I can’t think of right now. What I have to add Below are a list of things I have to add to the game ㅤ Sounds & BG music UI Polish Tools art and polish Rest of the Tool Icons Effects Overall Polish So that’s it for this devlog.

I was planning on posting devlog 3 a week back, but got sidetracked with my Frictionless mission project, and then forgot about it completely. So this is devlog 3 and 4 combined. ㅤ For those who are new, I am making a game where you have no weapons, but you need to mine resources, so you have to dodge enemies making them crash into asteroids, mining resources, and destroying themselves in the process. ㅤ The main things I worked on was the shop and the tools. Shop The shop is in the main menu, and you have to click a button called tools to make it show up. The game flow is the player plays the game, dies, uses coins to buy tools, and then plays the game again to try to survive longer. The shop took me a long time to figure out how I should actually do it. A lot of time I was just staring at the screen trying to figure out how I’m actually going to do it. Looking back, I probably should have planned it out on a piece of paper or something. Tools Currently I have 7 tools implemented. I still need to make all the art for them, but their functionality mostly works. Below is a list of my tools. Gravity Orb - An orb that creates a temporary gravity field pulling asteroids and enemies Pulse Wave - An orb that releases a wave in all directions pushing objects away. (I might scrap this tool, as it doesn’t look that good and is hard to use) Repulsion Orb - An orb that creates a temporary field that pushes asteroids and enemies away. Asteroid Lock - An orb that if hits an asteroid, will lock it in place temporarily. (This tool is not working for some reason, so I have to fix it) Grow Tool - An orb that when it hits an asteroid, will cause it to grow rapidly. (It can stack) Asteroid Forge - An orb that grows an asteroid Ship Decoy - An orb that shoots out a decoy that lures enemies away So currently, these are all the tools I have. I will probably not add any more, except for the final one. The final one will require all tools unlocked plus a large amount of coins. Coins I noticed that I hadn’t explained what coins really were in the past devlogs. Coins can be earned when enemies and asteroids are destroyed. Coins can be used to unlock tools in the shop after you die. UI I created some pixel art UI and was playing around with it. It’s still not done and doesn’t look very well, so after I make them a bit better I will add them to the game fully. Enemy Types I added another enemy type, and I also made some art for them. They’re really similar, and just have some difference with linear and turning speed. Environmental Hazards I decided not to add any environmental hazards because I just couldn’t figure out a way to make them not make the player mad. Black holes were too annoying, and planets were just asteroid without ores, so I didn’t add them. What I have to add Below are a list of things I have to add to the game ㅤ Sounds (No sound effects) UI (Making it look better) Tools (Polish, art, functionality, and the final one) Crafting (Works pretty well, some bugs) Finish Inventory (Just some bugs and polish) Main Menu shop (Bugs and polish) Tool Icons Effects: Explosions, damage effects, etc Radioactive Zone (Doesn’t do anything, but effects have been added) Overall Polish ㅤ So thats basically it for this combined devlog. There’s not too much I added because I was focusing on my Frictionless mission project which I recently shipped. The game should be done in less than a week (My initial goal when I started this game was June 15th) Thanks!"}, {"post_id": 10332, "ts": "2026-06-17T00:29:22Z", "hours": 6.9314, "text": "Thanks for Mining That! Devlog 2 for my Unity game So it’s been a few days since my last devlog, and I’ve been working on some of the art and also the inventory system. ㅤ For those who are new, I am making a game where you have no weapons, but you need to mine resources, so you use the groups of angry enemies that are chasing you to mine asteroids while also destroying themselves in the process. You can use tools to make it easier for enemies to help you mine. ㅤ I made the pixel art for the ores and the art for the player. Before, the player was more of a 2d triangular looking shape, but I changed it into a rocket. ㅤ The only ores I currently have are copper, iron and gold. Their art is not the best, but it works. I use Aseprite for the pixel art, and it takes quite some time for me to make each one because I rarely ever make pixel art games, so for me, the current state of the art is good enough. ㅤ I also made each asteroid show which ore it contains, so players can easily identify the asteroid that has the resource they need. I also made the asteroids deal a bit of damage to the player, calculated by the velocity and mass to make the game a bit more chaotic. ㅤ And yes, my game is meant to be chaotic, though I may make it a bit easier to prevent players from getting annoyed. I’ll probably lower the enemy move speed a bit, and keep the turn speed how it is. And now, let me talk about the Inventory/Crafting system. The system is still in progress, but I’ve gotten a basic framework for the inventory ready, so it’ll be easier to add crafting. I added a resources panel at the bottom, which shows total resources in the current run. The panel on the top right will be made invisible later, and is meant to give a message to the player that they got a specific resource. I also added a panel on the left, which will show the current tools, and how many the player has. ㅤ How Tools Will Work Tools can be used by the player to manipulate the environment, like a gravity orb, a repelling wave, etc. They are one-time consumables, though you can hold many of them. You need certain resources to craft them, so weaker tools will require copper, and better tools will require iron and gold. Usually multiple are crafted at a time, though some will be individual crafts. In the main menu, players can use coins(currency I have not implemented yet) to buy better tools, but they can only equip four at a time.

Low-thrust enemies make wide turns, while high-thrust enemies make more accurate turns. Enemy velocity is capped with max speed. Asteroids Health scales with mass and ore. Mass also affects movement speed. Asteroids are assigned a direction when they spawn. Slowly corrects direction if pushed off course. Game Loop The current game loop: Main Menu Gameplay Death Screen Game Manager handles main logic. Mini Map Added after realizing asteroids are hard to find. Created using a secondary camera with a larger view. Camera follows the player and renders to a texture, displayed in UI. Asteroid Spawning Asteroids spawn from a list of spawn points spread across the map. Every ~25 seconds, chance to spawn at each point. Each asteroid has: A randomized size Random asteroid sprite Enemy Spawning Spawn points are attached to the player. Every ~5 seconds, a random spawn point is selected and an enemy bunch is spawned. Object Pooling Initially, every enemy and asteroid was created using Instantiate() , which caused lag. To solve this, I switched to object pooling.

Thanks for Mining That! Devlog 3 and 4 of my Unity Game It’s been more than two weeks since my last devlog. I was planning on posting devlog 3 a week back, but got sidetracked with my Frictionless mission project, and then forgot about it completely.

Thanks for Mining That! Devlog 5 of my Unity Game It’s been four days since my last devlog. Note: I had to redo the whole devlog because the site decided that if I post a devlog which is higher than the character count, it will get completely deleted! So my devlog may not be completely formatted very nicely. I have also lost 8 hours because I have two devlogs that are fourteen hours. I can atleast understand the second one since it was my fault I forgot to post a devlog, so I had to combine two devlogs. But the first devlog was before the announcement about the 10 hour limit. Anyways, back to the devlog ㅤ For those who are new, I am making a game where you have no weapons, but you need to mine resources, so you have to dodge enemies making them crash into asteroids, mining resources, and destroying themselves in the process. What I mainly worked on: Finishing tool functionality UI Title Pixel Art Bug-fixing Other stuff Tools I thought I had finished the functionality last devlog, but there were a few things to fix. The main one, was the Asteroid Forge, which took me like 3 hours to fix completely, and I had explained all the issues before my devlog got deleted, but I’m too tired to write it again a second time. UI I finished all my pixel art UI, and implemented it in game. It should look pretty good now. I had explained how I had created all of them, but it all got deleted. Title I made a title pixel art, look at screenshot to see part of it. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so it took much longer than it needed to, and I’m still not satisfied with how it turned out. BUGS A LOT OF BUGS. Especially with the asteroid forge, and also some in inventory and other stuff. Other Stuff I decided to make my own music, which I’ve tried multiple times with no good results. I’m using JummBox, and it’s going not good. I also forgot to record it with Lapse, so lost an hour of my work, so nine hours total I’ve lost. I’ve also only finished 10 seconds of the background music, after an hour. I finished implementing the enemy type. Made four tool icons, three were pretty good, one wasn’t that good I also added some other stuff I can’t think of right now. What I have to add Below are a list of things I have to add to the game ㅤ Sounds & BG music UI Polish Tools art and polish Rest of the Tool Icons Effects Overall Polish So that’s it for this devlog. (Sorry about my repeated rants about the deletion, I’m just annoyed, especially with 8 hours not counting, and me forgetting to use Lapse to record me making music) Any feedback appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks for Mining That! Devlog 6 of my Unity Game It’s been more than a week since my last devlog. I’ve mostly been focused on fixing bugs, polishing, and some other stuff. For those who are new, I am making a very chaotic game where you have no weapons, but you need to mine resources, so you have to dodge enemies making them crash into asteroids, mining resources, and destroying themselves in the process. You can use tools to help you, but to craft tools, you need resources. I now have three Hackatime projects connected to this game. Before, I had two, one tracked my Unity time, and another tracked my coding time. Now, for some reason, after I built the game for the first time to test stuff out, a new project popped up that tracks my Unity time, and my old Hackatime project no longer tracks my Unity time. Doesn’t really make much sense. What I mainly worked on: Stats/End Screen Saving Sounds Black Hole Bug-fixing Other stuff Stats/End Screen I added an end screen to the game, where after you finish the game, it shows you all your stats, of the completed run, and all runs. You can click new run to create a new run, and play again. I’m pretty sure someone had suggested this in one of my older devlogs, and it sounded like a good idea. The hardest part of all of this was the saving. Saving This is my first game I implemented real saving to. I have made some games before where I had a small amount of saving, but this time I really tried. I created a whole another script called StatsManager which controls saving and the stats screen. It does not save your current game, and by that I mean if you were in the middle of playing, and leave, it does not resume where you left off. It just saves all your coins, tools, and other stats. Sounds I added some sound effects and also added the background music to my game. I still have to tweak some of the volumes since some sound effects are a bit too loud, but it’s good enough for now. Black Hole I don’t want to give away too much, but the black hole is the final tool, which you can only unlock after unlocking all other tools, and requires a lot of coins and takes a lot of resources to craft. It’s the tool before you finish the game. Bugs Quite a lot of bugs. I think I fixed most of them, but there are probably a few I didn’t notice. Other Stuff I finished making all the tool icons and their sprites in Aseprite. I added them to the game, but for some reason, they look much worse in the game than in Aseprite. Not blurry or anything like that, it just doesn’t feel right. But I don’t want to redo anything, so I just changed some stuff in the sprites and kept them how they were. I also finally added the radiation zone sprite, and the barrier now deals damage and pushes the player away. What I have to add Below are a list of things I have to add to the game ㅤ UI Polish (Sounds and animations) Tools polish (Effects, sounds) General Effects Overall Polish So that’s it for this devlog. Any feedback appreciated. The screenshot below shows all my tool icons and sprites I made. Thanks!
Thanks For Mining That! Devlog 7 of my Unity Game I’m finally DONE! So I’ve mostly been working on other stuff, like #alchemize, #breadboard, and #jame-gam, but I was finally able to finish my game. You can try the game out here: Thanks for Mining That It’s a web build, so no download necessary. I didn’t really need to do much. I just did some small changes, some bug fixes, and I don’t really remember what else. So yeah, that’s it for this devlog. Hopefully it gets accepted since I want a 3d printer. But yeah, thanks!
Ships:
I made a game called Thanks For Mining That. — SUMMARY — Thanks for Mining That is a 2d game where you are in space and have to mine resources, but you have no mining tools. So you lure the enemies to hit the asteroids so they mine resources and destroy themselves in the process. — LINKS — Itch.io page: https://starcoder.itch.io/thanks-for-mining-that Github: https://github.com/StarCoder369/Thanks-for-Mining-That- It is a web build, so no need to download anything. — CHALLENGES — Here are some challenges I faced. When I first started this game, it was completely different. It was about a spaceship with a wrecking ball, which you had to use to mine resources and destroy enemies. The idea had potential, but it was too difficult to implement it in a way that would be fun for the player, so I scrapped it and pivoted ideas. There were a lot of problems with optimization. I was able to make it better, even though it still isn’t completely smooth, it’s much better. I used object pooling for this, so instead of enemies and asteroids being spawned each time, they just enable and disable. I faced a lot of problems with the music, since I’m not a music guy. I’ve tried to make music before, but it never turns out good. This time, I think it turned out pretty well. I used JummBox (a different version of BeepBox). Another challenge I faced was knowing when to stop. I have a lot of ideas to add to this, but I realized that if I did all of it, it would be a waste of time. All the ideas I have for the game won’t help me learn anything. That’s why I have been doing so many other ysws events, which is also why there is such a big gap between my second-last and last devlog. That’s basically it. I had a lot of fun making the game, and hopefully it’s going to be accepted! Thank you!...

Fixing small things on my parts! I got things printing (yay!) however I noticed some things. I didn’t leave any clearance for the wires on the servos, so it didn’t actually fit on the base. For the servo attachment, I forgot to design a mirrored version. Ima upload my new files to github for @skhsmrn to print :)...

Devlogs:
I made a simple house to start off my world
Upgraded my map to look better and also tried to make the movement work
new house added to the map
better map to add on to
all done with the map so this section is done
Ships:
I made a map for my game that i will create later on and this is only the map part of the game just for testing reasons ....

I spent a while learning Java nio and managed to get the names of all the texture packs and the textures inside of them i also created doogile.zip (as requested by my friend), that will serve as the main way to select individual textures just a simple devlog to catch you guys up to what i’ve been doing
basic texture swapping After actl not too much pain, I got basic texture swapping done. I created a helper class to handle all my texture swapping logic, and it works quite neatly. I do hate File I/O in any programming language, but my mod kind of revolves around FIle I/O, and honestly, even though I got some super unhelpful error messages (I got empty error messages), I somehow managed to pull through Some things I have yet to work on: fix ui to allow all installed packs (currently for testing I just use Motchsens better leaves, since it’s a small pack) allow not just textures but also block models to be hotswapped pray modrinth reviews my project so i can ship it ✌️
dropdown list works >< last time i did this, it took me 30h also what do you think of my highlight, instead of just making the blue border brighter and whiter, i decided to make it redder, to stand out, does it look good? as you can see, there is an error with the dropdown list, as when i pressed the last option, it didnt register (closer to the end of the video) because the button behind it, b9 was getting clicked instead I doub’t this will be a problem (at least for current me), since i dont think the dropdown lists should be ontop of smth else, hopefully but oh well, when it comes to that ill figure it out edit: argh i just realised i haven’t finished scrolling behaviour i’ll get to work on that now my previous ship is still not verified bcos modrinth still havent reviewed my mod (it’s been 3 weeks) ( ˘︹˘ ) so i submitted it to curseforge I’ll update my mod with the newest features and then reship
More file shenanigans! I managed to persist the saved options to the config file, and changed the buttons to dropdowns Some ui stuff still needs fixing but it’s gone relatively alright My ship is still in the process of getting verified, but my project shld be shipped soon!
Almost ready for second ship! The UI is terrible, but I think for now it works. There are still a few bugs with the UI I plan to fix later. The main part of this devlog is that, i changed the layout of the dropdowns, and I created a menu to show the currently selected texture, so it’s easier to see what you’re changing from and to. I fixed some minor bugs with the dropdownlist, and overall, I’m quite happy with how it turned out. Some reviewers didn’t fully understand my mod, so I’ll put some actually better usage instructions in the ship message. Some guy also said my project was completely AI :/ (it’s not), but i accidentally clicked accept payout instead of flagging the review, while going to the bad review. Oh well. I do wan’t to mention that I did use AI for guidance, but it did not code my mod for me. That’s about it After my second ship, I doubt I can continue developing my mod, because my finals are in like 2 days (and i’m doing anything but studying for it, so hope you enjoy my mod, as it is now! ✌️
Ships:
Does some simple texture swapping. I’m getting into individual textures now. Learning Java definitely took a lot of the time, but I’m happy I got something working.
I have a whole bunch of resource packs installed, and managing all of them was a pain. So I decided, why not make a mod to help me do that? To test my mod: Ensure you have some resourcepacks installed, and they should contain custom textures for leaves (I recommend Faithful, Barebones and Motschen’s better leaves). After which, get into a minecraft world, and possibly place some leaves in front of you. Then go into the resourcepacks settings and change the textures. Each dropdown controls a specific leaf texture, as you can see via the texture renderer on top. If you have more than two resourcepacks, the last one may be hidden by the texture renderer, so you can just click through the texture renderer to activate it. Have fun customising textures, I plan to add more functionality soon! :) ✌️...
