Obstacles and Collision Player collision Player collision optimized so that people don’t rage quit while playing lollll I had to make custom convex CollisionShapeD for limbo and regular running position Player movement Player now is forced to return to the running position after 0.5 seconds! unless you spam the button–in that case the player will remain in that position.

I will update them accordingly if they’re not accurate but they’ve been through like 10 rounds of optimization atp lol
FINALLY difficulty progression + points registering system This took me way too long to figure out Difficulty progression the obstacles spawn more frequently by 1% every 3 seconds spawning cap and cooldown for spawning are safeguards so that the game isn’t impossible Points registering If the player successfully avoids the obstacle, points are registered. If not, then points are not registered (soon there will be a consequence implemented as well.)

Basically, the premise of the game is that this office worker is trying to escape his mundane office life running towards the horizon. (wants to chase the horizon and touch it) so yeah that’s why the bar is a sky themed thing–it’s to represent the horizon almost.
game over messages + more asset update I made the running animation look less cut off on the sides I made the dodging animations more polished with outlines game over scene when the horizon bar is at 0 the game over scene is cued game over messages now there’s a randomization of 4 messages, them being it looks like you’re working overtime… it was worth a shot i guess?
Game Over screen polished Game over graphics now the game over scene has a cool cubicle graphic (i drew it on aseprite all graphics here are custom-made) and it blinks. the instruction to go back to the start menu looks like that because this game is supposed to pair with my SuiheisenPad micropad (like an arcade machine) The cubicle changes depending on the message that the game chooses Player collision bug fixes + movement fixes Now the player goes still when the game is over and it’s fading out, and the player’s side dodge collisions aren’t spheres but custom convex 3D shapes so that they can’t dodge the limbo obstacle Fade out animations now when game over happens the main scene fades out to black and game over fades in yippee
Finished start screen! Art Art for the background of the start_screen and the blinking is done ! this took me hours holy moly Animations Coded and configured AnimationPlayer node to create this cool set of events when u boot the game Basic code overall but super time consuming
i’m losing my mind… i’m trying to figure out how to make an infinite scroller in 3d godot but since it’s not like 2d u can’t just put parallax… u need to actual write a script to generate the mesh and get rid of them accordingly while moving all the mesh towards the player. and my tiny brain cannot wrap my head around it. so here’s what it looks like so far before i find out how to do this infinite 3d scroller thing :’)
IT WORKS Finally made modules for road terrain so now it looks like the thing is an actual infinite scroller now 😭 😭 😭 yessssssss Art I had to draw aseprite road textures myself I also imported them in blender and after a lot of finessing I got them to this size. i actually might resize because it makes the player look super tiny lolll scripts I just made an array of the Node3Ds that had MeshInstance3Ds of each kind of road and made the spawner terrain controller thing alternate between them two :))
obstacles + more!! :DDDDD Obstacles now there is: sawhorse barricade ‘road work ahead’ sign traffic cone all art and modeling and coloring etc done by me :D and i made the obstacle adding system modular so it’s really easy to add more obstacles as needed collisions are also all fine tuned to minimize rage quit lol Player adjustments + bug fixes Fixed a bug so now start screen fade out animation works as expected the player’s height and camera was adjusted so obstacles are better seen and scaling is more realistic future additions proper limbo obstacles and separating them from regular obstacles adding a pixelated sky texture via aseprite and godot worldenvironment sfx possibly buildings to surround the road to make it more lively and realistic
Sky and more obsacles added I added the limbo obstacle and now obstacle modularity is completely finished so i can just model obstacles and plug them in really easily. I also added a tutorial at the start for keyboard users.
Buildings added Buildings I modeled them in blender and stuff and made them modular. There are 5 types of buildings in total currently and 4 building chunk modules. Spawn tweaks I tweaked some spawner settings bc the more u got into the game the more weirdly the spawning would be like bursts of difficulty instead of constant accelerated difficulty. so fixed that :) Future additions roads and buildings get faster so you feel how everything is getting faster audio basic pause menu after i finish those future additions I’ll finally ship Suiheisen’s first addition :D
Audio + Speed scaling + Pause menu Audio Took sounds from freesound.org that had CreativeCommons0 licenses and used them in my game! it makes it feel so much more alive :) Speed scaling Now the game is harder because the obstacles move back faster as the game progresses.

I think it’ll be cool and I’m like pretty sure it’s going to work. I’ll then polish the repo and submit. Time Spent: 7 Hours
Started off with logic PSU and basic signals from the RCA jacks w/ the transistor amps.
I did like the whole thing and finished it. But basically the 555 timers aren’t oscillating right, and the signal from RCA jacks is going straight to FETs. And it kinda worked. like, I heard music play through magnetic restriction of the transformer core lol, but not plasma. Time Spent: 6 Hours
Got to work building Rev. 2, since this has to work for outpost. My wiring is a little cleaner this time and also I have the 555 timer wired differently so it should work. Time Spent: 2 Hours
Added in adjustment pots, did some more wiring to the 555s, etc.
Added in ports, did some more wiring, and made a second amp for the 555 signal. Time Spent: 3 Hours
Finished the build!

Devlogs:
Devlog 1: 50 hours in the bag, joined stardance now! Added Ability system and backend Teams Logic (nothing visual sadly yet…)
Devlog 2: A Super Compact, Dynamic Ability System Drag and drop your Patterns (Cross, etc.) and Tada👀, you’ve got a new ability.💪 Need a special effect? Just plug in one of: DamageEffect SpawnEffect MoveSelfEffect …and many more.
Devlog 3: Big Progress on Units & Turn Logic Made great progress… ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ Added unit sprites Implemented turn logic Overengineered like always, xd but if i every want to make a 2v2 or how many vs how many , it will work Good thing: it now supports local X vs X , which is great for testing. :)) Next up: cool animations hehehe.
Devlog 4: Pre-Alpha Release 🥳🥳 Pre-alpha release is out! ( under review shipping, follow to see when comes live ;)) Also fixed positioning of ability buttons 🔥
Devlog 5: Camera Movement & Board Centralization Added camera movement and board centralization It feels super smooth ( zooming and moving ) thanks to lerp (love that name xd) 🤫 Also auto centers dynamically based on BOARD SIZE (if you want you can fight your friends on 1000 x 1000 tiles lul)
Devlog 6: Rebuilding the Ability System Completely restructured the ability system , allowing abilities to be either sequentially or in batches . Also improved the underlying patterns, making abilities easier to modify, reuse, and plug into the game.(see image) Currently implementing EffectTrigger , which allows Effects of abilities to happen on specific Frames or after specific Time etc.
Devlog 7: 🐦🔥 HUGE Ability CHANGES Finally finished the new ability system (just took like 14 HOuRs Xdd) The new system introducestwo ways of running abilities (🤫see video): ⛓️Sequential Runs all selected tiles one by one, and casts the effect 📦Batch Runs the effect on all selected tiles. Also Added Context so that Abilities/Effects can now communicate and influence each other : Cost = Base Cost + Selected Tiles ... Damage = Cost * Base Damage (infinite cycle of death 🩻) This will allow huge upgrades to make in a modular way complex abilities super simple and fast .
Devlog 8: Ahhh you, I hit (￣ε(#￣)💥╰╮o(￣皿￣///) Through the new ability System, was finally able to add hit flashes ! But it was such a pain to get the Shaders working 〒▽〒 , they were never firing once, but 3 - 4 times in one row which didn’t make sense for 1 SLAP. If you hit them hard enough they jitter 😱 … Future destination 🛣️ I could imagine updating the system to be reactive to the effect applied to each Unit (so more DMG => More BOOM💥) Also added finally animations (was time).🕺
Devlog 8: So thats how much more i can CUT you😈 100+ hours 🥳 Finally added a UI for Pool Points💯 (How often an ability can be cast) Pool Updates 💧 The pool shows Icon and Count/MaxCount , with custom ANIMATIONS when the count changes Blocking Manager 🫸 The new Blocking Manager keeps track of the game states and automatically, blocks specific ui. Very Dynamic ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ (using enums for options) Next UP: More juicy animations for the Pool count (showing diff, based on current selected tiles, and a crash animation (hopefully 😅, if i can figure that out xd ))
Devlog 9: Soo can i remove it?:0 New modular UI animations and able to delete and see order of tiles selected 😃 Tween Component 🎞️ Allows Resources to animate specifics (loop, ping pong) on specific actions (ready, shown etc.) For multiselectable tiles, there is a new layer which shows when which tiles were selected. Allows also the deletion of tiles if still valid.
Devlog 10: MOOORE ANIMATIONSS!!!! Added a TweenComponent🎞️, allowing quick *reactive* and configurabel way to add TWEENS Created AutoGenerated Scripts⚙️ (if you know Godot.SignalNames , in a way i created the same) And for some reason one of my scripts reset so i had to debug it completly from the beginning 😭, but somehow it just got better lol.
Devlog 11: I Hereby SUMMON YOU! (＃°Д°) Today we are adding CARDS , 🃏Cards contain MANA Portrait Health Duration (after how many rounds does the card play its effect ) One problem i am encountering is how to identify clicking vs draggin in godot 😵💫, but i believe i could use a workaround
Devlog 12: Cards and MORE Cards 🃏 I have added Cards which can now summon units Also needed to redo the ability validation as now the modular ability system came in handy. I was able to combine both the Ability System and the Cards , so that the cards can use them freely.
Devlog 13: 3rr0Rssss$s ❌ and ✅Results<> Completely rewrote ȩ̷̪̓̈́́́͗͝ŗ̵͔̥̜̹̬̭̯̏̆̽͂̈́̅̐͛̾͘ͅr̸͗̌͌̾̌̾̂́͜ö̷̪̰́͊̆͗̈́̿̏́̀̂r̶̨̮̹͎̹̫͑̅̂̽̾̎͌s , Now each method returns in its chain a Result<TValue, TError> Methods like Map,Bind,Tap etc. make it now super easy to process results and errors :))
Devlog 14: Is it SatisFeelingable enough ☺️ (Help Q&Q: what animation feels more satisfying ?:00) Added clean card animation (in not so clean code 😭😭) More information on who’s turn it is. with bumb up🆙 animations for the Q&Q see the videos <3 Next 🆙: Card Deck and card into effect animations (spawn animations if above works without coding problems, which i feel is a delusional hope🥲 )
Devlog 15: The Power of Plugins 🔌 Turned the Tween System into a plugin :)) Now it is way easier to reuse animations everywhere 🎞️ Also finished all Card + Hand logic 🃏 and cleaned up lots of code + bugs along the way 😭 The project’s recent work includes a refactor of the ability/card systems plus deck and cardcasting functionality.
Devlog 16: Extensions, Plugins && MODSSSSS Yes, it has been time, for what has given success to most games EVER!!!!!! ➕MODS Hard as hell to implement, as you need to make sure that each coding dependencies are implemented correctly… Had to change hole game structure to be easily extendable/moddable (fun and hard ) But i have to say i am learning more which is awsome But still many bugs and logic to fix/implement lul…

👾 AKidsDream(name work in progress), is a early version of a turn based strategy game, where you can controll multiple different units to win. 🤔 Why A Kid’s Dream? When I was a child, I created a small board game using paper and scissors. It was very complex, but still incredibly fun to play. A Kid’s Dream 🌜is my attempt to recreate that experience. Not exactly as it was, but from the pieces that remain in my memory. It is a game inspired by childhood imagination, handmade rules, and the joy of turning simple ideas into an adventure. ⚔️ Currently the game is in very early alpha, basically a proof of concept. I would love support, about what you would like to see, Game Design tips and tricks and what a winning condition could be. (destroy objectives vs destory a unit(like a king 🤴)
👾 AKidsDream~~(name work in progress)~~ , is a early version of a turn based strategy game , where you can controll multiple different units to win. 🤔 Why A Kid’s Dream? When I was a child, I created a small board game using paper and scissors. It was very complex, but still incredibly fun to play. 🏳️🏴Goal Its not just an attempt to make a game , its the challenge of creating modular , future proof system and to learn to clean code , using all my knoweledge of over the past 4 years of learning . (so even if i dont get rich with this game i did learn a lot xdd) What’s🆕 As this isn’t the first ship of the project, the project now contains: Mana💎 & a working card/hand systems Juicy new animations (as you may have seen with thecard drawing) more ℹ️nfo (who is playing and support for multiple local players) Hardships (￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮o(￣皿￣///) Trying to code everything modular and clean takes time, which is valuable resource :( Also the progress feels much slower at the beginning (but i could reuse the modular ability system for the cards which made everything easier:)) As i have invested close to 200hourse, the project has grown so much that sometimes its hard to see how one system may break another , then its another 1 hour debugging...

How it works is simple. A position from a famous chess opening is shown on the board, and you have to guess which opening it is.

Unlike Wordle or other guessing games, you dont have to wait 24 hours to play. It was difficult setting up the chess board, the pieces, and piece animation, however I made it work. The trickiest part was animating between positions when going back, since each wrong guess jumps the board back two plies rather than one. I solved this by stepping through each half-move individually and animating the piece slide for every step, rather than animating directly from the start position to the end position. This keeps the motion readable even when skipping multiple moves.

Devlog -2 I have heard styling is hard, but today I actually felt it. Manually styled the entire webpage using raw CSS. No Tailwind, no Bootstrap—just pure CSS. Seeing the elements render all colourful on hot reload is such an awesome feeling. The temptation (and addiction 😭) to keep styling forever is actually real… Next devlog might be on styling again ig 😅
Devlog #3 – Got an Idea For the past three days, I was going crazy with CSS and all its properties. Now I’ve decided to shift to Tailwind CSS . I’ve also decided to scale this project beyond the original guide after discovering some really interesting NASA APIs that I want to integrate. To kick off the implementation, I replaced the existing layout with display: grid and built the first grid for today using Three.js . I learned the beginner-level concepts first, then spent some time with the documentation before building this from scratch. The feature is about halfway complete and currently involves a revolving Earth using the texture from NASA’s famous Blue Marble image.
Devlog #4 – Slowly Coming Together Today’s APOD was way too good… . Spent most of the time redesigning the ISS object and figuring out the orbit calculations using the latitude and longitude from the API. There was a surprising amount of math involved, but it’s finally working. Still need to add proper error handling though—right now it just assumes everything goes perfectly (which APIs never do ). Originally, I wanted this dashboard to have four different grid sections packed with various NASA APIs. But after building the first two rows, I realized it already feels pretty packed for a first release. So… I’ve decided to ship with the current layout instead of cramming in more features.That doesn’t mean the other APIs are getting dropped though. Once this version is out, I’ll keep expanding the dashboard and fill those extra grid spots with more APIs. For now… ship first, build more later
Ships:
I built SpaceView, an interactive web dashboard with NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) alongside a live, 3D tracker of the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting a 3D Earth built in ’ three.js’ . Originally, I planned to cram four different grid sections packed with various NASA APIs into the app. But after building the first two, I realized it felt way too cluttered for a V1. The UI and styling was a wild ride. For the first few days, I was going crazy with CSS grid properties. I completely scrapped my base UI to try pure CSS, but eventually realized I needed to scale up and rebuilt the whole thing using Tailwind CSS. Beyond that, figuring out the ISS orbit calculations using just latitude and longitude from the API involved a surprising amount of math. To test it out, just hit the live demo link! The layout is fully responsive, so try it out on desktop or mobile. Make sure to play around with the 3D Earth…...

Devlogs:
Today I started working on configuring my own Neovim setup and turning it into a personal IDE. I have : -installed neovim -created directory structure and setup files -Started Using Lua for Configuration(using documentation) -I installed and configured Lazy.nvim as my plugin manager. -configured hackatime for neovim following documentation for configuration & debugging issues some of my time spent on debuggin and solving the errors, because it’s my first time working with Lua language
configured colors scheme for my editor, explored various colors schemes available by installing and I picked gruvbox.nvim for my IDE
configured all my settings in Neovim, here what I have done: -Map our Leader key to Space -Highlight search in the file. -Show line numbers. -Disable the mouse completely. -Enable copying between Neovim and the system clipboard. -Wrap our lines. -Disable swap files but keep undo history. -Decrease update time to make Neovim faster. -Configure how and where we open splits. -Change the indentation. -Adjust how we scroll on the screen.
Custom Keymaps For my Neovim setup, I kept the custom keymaps minimal. Neovim already provides many useful default keybindings, so there is no need to create hundreds of custom shortcuts. Some of the keymaps I added include: Space + s to save the current file k and j for smoother cursor movement H and L to jump to the beginning and end of a line Q to close the current buffer vv and ss to create vertical and horizontal splits Ctrl + h/j/k/l to navigate between splits Tab and Shift + Tab for indentation in visual mode Improved y and p behavior to move the cursor to the end of copied or pasted text Space + h to clear search highlights
A plugin is for commenting code. Now, I can use gcc , for example, to comment a line or gcG to comment the whole file. I used numToStr/Comment.nvim github repo and doc for this
Added Fuzzy finder in my Neovim It will help us find any files or text that we need quickly and efficiently. Ctrl + p finds files in the project Space + b shows a fuzzy finder with the list of opened buffers Space + / gives you live search in the project.
Added Status Line And I ndentation It displays contextual information about the current buffer, cursor, and editor state. By default, it shows the file path, modification status (e.g., [+] for unsaved changes), LSP diagnostics (error/warning counts), and cursor position (line and column). By default, this specific layout divides status line into distinct visual chunks: Far Left: Instantly shows what mode you are in (NORMAL, INSERT, VISUAL) with clear color changes. Middle Left: Hooks directly into your GitHub configuration to show you which branch you are on and if you have any uncommitted changes. Far Right: Displays the exact line and column number your cursor is sitting on, along with the file type (like lua or markdown). Indentation - plugin for displaying indentation in the file. You can see that vertical lines which show the indentation in the code.

Now when I press Space + s. Conform will catch the save command, perfectly format the entire file using Prettier/Stylua, and then write it to the disk, all in a fraction of a millisecond!
Nvim-Tree Sidebar! Having a visual file tree on the left side of your screen is essential for navigating a large project.

This is a little earlier than I expected to ship, but I think it’s about ready! (and I want to start working on other things) Flashcard Importing and Reordering You can now import flashcards! One flashcard per line, with each line having two sides separated by a delimiter of your choice. I suppose I should also add exporting, but I can always do that later. (I don’t think many other people will actually use this app) I skipped drag and drop for reordering as Tungsten showed me how much of a pain in the a– that can be. You get an up arrow and down arrow, that’s it. Settings Redesign Only slightly. I went for a look that matches the dashboard a little better and makes the UI easier to read. The save button was tricky to place; as putting it near the settings it actually works for made it blend in too much. Term editing doesn’t require saving, but this is the best place to put the button. I also added the log out button right under this! Demo The app now has a proper demo mode. I think I implemented this one a little cleaner than Tungsten, not requiring a user with ID 0 and a specific password to be in the DB. It just fakes you having a session/user and works off of that. Bugs, bugs galore! Oh man I fixed so many. I’ve been putting off a lot of these and some I just discovered as well. The big one was that meeting exclusions just weren’t working. It ended up being an issue with code I changed weeks ago, that I thought wouldn’t affect very much. Another bug was task due dates were just incorrect. You type “tomorrow” and it is due 2 days in advance. You wouldn’t believe what caused this one, and say it with me: timezones!!!!! And that’s all! This has been one of the most fun apps to develop imo (minus all the timezone issues, those were the worst thing I have ever done), and I hope you find some use of this project!"}, {"post_id": 44830, "ts": "2026-08-10T21:06:10Z", "hours": 5.5306, "text": "PWA support, study tools, and many small fixes! Once again I have procrastinated devlogging. I have to start working a little harder though as my deadline for this project is in 9 days! (I’m moving out and won’t have time to work on this anymore so I want to get it done before then) PWA support This was super simple. I basically just stole the config from Filatrack, and it worked great. The hardest part was actually making the UI mobile-friendly (I hate mobile-first development) Tailwind does device-based styles really weird and lowkey a little stupid, forcing you into mobile-first development, even though that’s dumb for what this project is. Study Tools!! This is the last major feature I’ll be adding before shipping. The tools include a pomodoro timer, flashcards, and quizzes. These all will be part of the database as well. So far, I’ve completed the pomodoro timer! It ended up really simple but really effective. You get to choose how long each work/break is, tasks to focus on, etc. You can pause the timer, hide it, and skip ahead to the next break if you wish. (I’ll be sure to add some confirmation to this so you don’t just skip work time!) The app also requests notification permission so it can send you notifications when it’s time for a break or time to get back to work. I’d also like to add a couple misc. QoL things like optional water/posture reminders and distraction prevention (telling you to get back to work if you get on a distracting website). When you finish, it gives you a quick overview of what you got done and then logs a study session to the database. Not entirely sure what I’ll use them for other than statistics for yourself, but thought I’d add it! SUPRISE: Timezone bugs! OK, I swear, this time is the last time I’ll have to fix timezone bugs. It was daylight savings again. I did some stupid stuff and FINALLY got it working again. This time I did some jank involving a function that checks if a day is in daylight savings and then just adjusting the hour so it’s correct. I know, it’s really dumb, but it works, so is it really? Small things Multiple bug fixes here and there that make it easier to use. The time and date are also shown on the home page now! Next up… …flashcards! This one I’m pretty excited about and shouldn’t be too hard!"}, {"post_id": 38024, "ts": "2026-07-31T05:20:31Z", "hours": 5.8447, "text": "New schedule look, smart greeting, tasks in the calendar, and more timezone fun!!! I spent a bunch more time procrastinating devlogging… so here’s a really long one! New schedule look It only changed a little, but it’s a lot easier to read and accommodates smaller event text a lot better. For events shorter than 30m, it leaves out the end time, and the title simply clips off if there isn’t space. Smart Greeting + new header! The header has a new look! The main feature here is the smart greeting, which shows you your upcoming classes/tasks (TODO) at a glance. It wasn’t crazy hard to implement this, just a bunch of conditions. It shows you only the upcoming classes on days you have classes, and the classes you have tomorrow if you’re done with classes for the day or have none. Past that, it doesn’t say anything. Tasks in the calendar This was a fun, quick adventure. I wanted to make sure tasks that were due at 11:59pm (the default) show up without having to scroll, so I stuck those ones in the all day section, to indicate you should get it done by the end of the day. Additionally, I added the tasks to iCal syncing via the VTODO spec. I implemented it in a hacky way since the library I was using didn’t support it, but it worked. Unfortunately, that’s when I learned that almost no calendar app actually looks at them. Yep. Google calendar, Apple calendar, none of them care about it. I’m going to implement them as normal events and call it a day. Timezone fun! Here we go again and for hopefully the last time. I was scrolling through the calendar, as ya do, and noticed a sudden shift around November, where all the classes would shift backward an hour. This could only mean one thing: daylight savings. I don’t even know how I fixed this one. I hacked around with it for a couple hours, and it started working again. This caused the iCal syncing to do the same thing, which took longer to fix.

The modal is already designed to be used for creation and editing, I just had to implement the latter. Editing courses is no big deal, however; it just changes what function it uses.

How I’ve made it, these two inputs are handled separately from the rest of the task editing, and when you finish editing it, it sends two requests to edit the task: one for the URL and note, and one for everything else.

New Project!! I’ve wanted to build something like this for quite a while, but just didn’t know where to really start. But here we are!

Tasks! Confetti! Colors!! Terms CRUD!!!! I’ve added all sorts of things since last update. Colors for courses, task CRUD, basic CRUD for terms, confetti, and so many bug fixes!! Tasks ✅ CRUD is never that hard to implement with this stack, but with tasks, the UI is more of a beast to handle. I wanted it to be more inline then creating courses, for example. We’ve already seen the C in CRUD from last devlog, so here’s the RUD! Everything is handled in a popover rather than a dialog, as it’s a lot cleaner, and for quickly clicking through tasks, a lot easier. Unfortunately, the code is a little messy here as I copied basically the same thing like 3 times. I will probably fix this later? Anyway, pressing “edit” in the popover allows you to edit the title (and thus the due date, priority, URL, and course), as well as the URL in a separate input and a note for the task, which couldn’t be auto-filled from the title bar.

Terms Terms CRUD was simple, however. Since there’s so little to them already, it was simple to make a spot to edit and delete them. I decided to put it in the settings page as that’s the most convenient spot.

Course colors, Course/meeting editing, and more timezone bugs!! Wow! A devlog of reasonable length! Surely that means it will be shorter right? Kinda, I added a lot of things but it was pretty easy! Calendar colors 🎨 This one was really easy to implement, as the calendar component allows you to specify a border/background color. All I needed to do was add it to the creation modal and boom!

IM BACK!!! SUPER exciting updates today!!! I just got back from vacation and I have motivation!! LOGO!!!! Neptune has a logo!!! I think it looks really good, I whipped it up in Inkscape in like 20 minutes. You wouldn’t believe what it’s supposed to be! Self hosting!!! This was supoer easy. Since this uses the same stack as Tungsten (which you should totally go check out also), I was able to copy over the dockerfile and docker-compose with minimal changes. However…. Timezone issues!!! Wait…. Yep. There are a lot of edge cases I didn’t think of. As soon as the server and client’s timezones are different, things get stupid.

Both the ICS calendar import and export, as well as the course times were incorrect by +/- 6 hours (I am in UTC-6, so that explains it) I spent way, WAY longer than I should’ve trying to fix this. It ended up taking like 2 different changes that affected the database as well. Usually I try to make my git commits clean and well-described, but that didn’t last very long here… The best part: it still doesn’t work properly! I don’t know why, but the ICS viewer I’ve been using to test reads the file differently than Google Calendar, which thinks my 10am class is at 4am.

Devlog Meta Section Unfortunately I don’t have much else to show for this update… that was all I worked on for 2 hours. I know. Anyway, I hope to add some more real features very soon!
New schedule look, smart greeting, tasks in the calendar, and more timezone fun!!! I spent a bunch more time procrastinating devlogging… so here’s a really long one! New schedule look It only changed a little, but it’s a lot easier to read and accommodates smaller event text a lot better. For events shorter than 30m, it leaves out the end time, and the title simply clips off if there isn’t space. Smart Greeting + new header! The header has a new look! The main feature here is the smart greeting, which shows you your upcoming classes/tasks (TODO) at a glance. It wasn’t crazy hard to implement this, just a bunch of conditions. It shows you only the upcoming classes on days you have classes, and the classes you have tomorrow if you’re done with classes for the day or have none. Past that, it doesn’t say anything. Tasks in the calendar This was a fun, quick adventure. I wanted to make sure tasks that were due at 11:59pm (the default) show up without having to scroll, so I stuck those ones in the all day section, to indicate you should get it done by the end of the day. Additionally, I added the tasks to iCal syncing via the VTODO spec. I implemented it in a hacky way since the library I was using didn’t support it, but it worked. Unfortunately, that’s when I learned that almost no calendar app actually looks at them. Yep. Google calendar, Apple calendar, none of them care about it. I’m going to implement them as normal events and call it a day. Timezone fun! Here we go again and for hopefully the last time. I was scrolling through the calendar, as ya do, and noticed a sudden shift around November, where all the classes would shift backward an hour. This could only mean one thing: daylight savings. I don’t even know how I fixed this one. I hacked around with it for a couple hours, and it started working again. This caused the iCal syncing to do the same thing, which took longer to fix. I am so tired. Javascript dates might actually be the worst thing I have ever worked with
PWA support, study tools, and many small fixes! Once again I have procrastinated devlogging. I have to start working a little harder though as my deadline for this project is in 9 days! (I’m moving out and won’t have time to work on this anymore so I want to get it done before then) PWA support This was super simple. I basically just stole the config from Filatrack, and it worked great. The hardest part was actually making the UI mobile-friendly (I hate mobile-first development) Tailwind does device-based styles really weird and lowkey a little stupid, forcing you into mobile-first development, even though that’s dumb for what this project is. Study Tools!! This is the last major feature I’ll be adding before shipping. The tools include a pomodoro timer, flashcards, and quizzes. These all will be part of the database as well. So far, I’ve completed the pomodoro timer! It ended up really simple but really effective. You get to choose how long each work/break is, tasks to focus on, etc. You can pause the timer, hide it, and skip ahead to the next break if you wish. (I’ll be sure to add some confirmation to this so you don’t just skip work time!) The app also requests notification permission so it can send you notifications when it’s time for a break or time to get back to work. I’d also like to add a couple misc. QoL things like optional water/posture reminders and distraction prevention (telling you to get back to work if you get on a distracting website). When you finish, it gives you a quick overview of what you got done and then logs a study session to the database. Not entirely sure what I’ll use them for other than statistics for yourself, but thought I’d add it! SUPRISE: Timezone bugs! OK, I swear, this time is the last time I’ll have to fix timezone bugs. It was daylight savings again. I did some stupid stuff and FINALLY got it working again. This time I did some jank involving a function that checks if a day is in daylight savings and then just adjusting the hour so it’s correct. I know, it’s really dumb, but it works, so is it really? Small things Multiple bug fixes here and there that make it easier to use. The time and date are also shown on the home page now! Next up… …flashcards! This one I’m pretty excited about and shouldn’t be too hard!
SHIPPING TIME!!! This is a little earlier than I expected to ship, but I think it’s about ready! (and I want to start working on other things) Flashcard Importing and Reordering You can now import flashcards! One flashcard per line, with each line having two sides separated by a delimiter of your choice. I suppose I should also add exporting, but I can always do that later. (I don’t think many other people will actually use this app) I skipped drag and drop for reordering as Tungsten showed me how much of a pain in the a– that can be. You get an up arrow and down arrow, that’s it. Settings Redesign Only slightly. I went for a look that matches the dashboard a little better and makes the UI easier to read. The save button was tricky to place; as putting it near the settings it actually works for made it blend in too much. Term editing doesn’t require saving, but this is the best place to put the button. I also added the log out button right under this! Demo The app now has a proper demo mode. I think I implemented this one a little cleaner than Tungsten, not requiring a user with ID 0 and a specific password to be in the DB. It just fakes you having a session/user and works off of that. Bugs, bugs galore! Oh man I fixed so many. I’ve been putting off a lot of these and some I just discovered as well. The big one was that meeting exclusions just weren’t working. It ended up being an issue with code I changed weeks ago, that I thought wouldn’t affect very much. Another bug was task due dates were just incorrect. You type “tomorrow” and it is due 2 days in advance. You wouldn’t believe what caused this one, and say it with me: timezones!!!!! And that’s all! This has been one of the most fun apps to develop imo (minus all the timezone issues, those were the worst thing I have ever done), and I hope you find some use of this project!
Ships:
Neptune is a self-hosted college life management tool. This ship includes a demo page to try it out before self-hosting. Some features may not be available. I hope you like it!...

Scout can now read and parse json files(with the library cjson) and it also now contains a function that returns other functions! Why cJSON? It was easily availible with my package manager, and it looked the simplest out of all the json libraries. how does higher-order functions benefit this project?

The json reading will be used for pattern matching in the file with the patterns in the json file (similar to YARA, but simpler).
Some of the things ive done since the last devlog are: refactoring the code moved some functions to separate module mathyy read json files and use for pattern matching(no more hard-coded patterns) Taylor series to approximate e and the natural logarithm simpler math implementations like factorials and powers New lnsha feature, calculates the natural log of the sha256 hash of the prorgam(completely useless) The taylor series were quite problematic, as the more iterations i had, the higher the values in the factorial and power functions got, so sometimes they would overflow to infinity based on the start value, so i had to find a middle ground where the risc of overflowing was low, but it still had resonable precision.

Scout now has a readme and a security policy(SECURITY.md).
