now follows your cursor. If it gets close it may play a short animation. If you don’t move for too long it will get tired and go to sleep.

Car Simulation Thingy Devlog #4
AI and stuff.
The learning algorithm is not perfect but it gets the job done. It uses five rays and its own velocity as input and outputs some steering and throttle value.
This thing wasn’t as hard as I expected and not complicated at all.
I also removed the rays since that was impacting performance a lot D:
The program is still kind of slow tho, I’ll have to fix that.

Car Simulation Thingy Devlog #3
I have now changed the code a bit so that I can easily add multiple cars. The checkpoint system has also been changed so they are evenly spaced.
Rays
The car now measures the distance of five different rays coming out of it. This will be used later (maybe)
You can see the blue lines, they’re the rays

Car Simulation thingy
Since Stardance got extended and I need something to work on I’m doing this now.
Right now it’s just a turquoise rectangle that can be driven on the screen. There’s also a track that you can drive on.
I’m not sure what I should do in the future, something like training a program to drive on a track would be cool. Still a long way to go though.

My silly site
A personal site about me.
It’s what the thing says. There’s some stuff about me in there and some of the projects I made.
Hope it looks good. The navigation buttons are very fun.

MeowGame
MeowGame is a forest-themed WarioWare style game featuring 7 minigames!
All art is drawn by me, it’s my first time doing this, so don’t expect it to look fabulous.
The minigames:
- Platformer
- Clicking Game
- Fly through obstacles (Like Flappy Bird)
- Collect falling fruit
- Jump over spiky bushes
- Climb to the top (Kind of like Doodle Jump)
- Maneuver a raft
There’s also a pause menu, just press the Esc key.
If you’re stuck, the controls are shown during the intermission just before the game.
It took me quite a while to get accustomed to everything, from the basic Godot UI to drawing the pixel art. I learned quite a lot throughout this whole process and am pretty happy about the result.
Looking back, there are definitely things I would’ve done differently, but as my first step into game development this is pretty good I think.
I redid a bunch of stuff on the way and kept changing stuff. it took me a while to get a unified theme going (forest and stuff)
Also if you haven’t noticed, the character I drew is inspired from Sekiro. Drawing that character was the hardest, especially the walking animation.

Even more fixes and small changes
Some more decoration and visual stuff
I added some bushes in the background of two minigames. I also adjusted the lighting a bit.
Particle changes
I changed the particles a bit. Some of them should be more noticable now.
Pause menu update
You can now find settings inside the pause menu.
Audio fix
I found out the volume that was being changed with the slider in the game settings wasn’t working probably, so I fixed that.
Timer changes
I changed the timers on some minigames so the game is a bit more balanced.
Clicking sound
There is now a sound when you click menu buttons because why not 
Timer visibility
The timer wasn’t visible in one or two minigames, so that’s fixed too.
README
I also updated the README a bit in preperation for shipping.
That should be all

More stuff
Pause menu
I added a pause menu. You can choose to return to the main menu now. Thanks to whoever gave me this idea.
Some particles
I added a few particles to some levels.
The first minigame
I changed it a bit and also added some lanterns
Controls
Controls for the next minigame are now visible during the intermission. Also added arrow keys and stuff back into the controls.
Ambient sound
I added ambient sound to all levels (I think)

(i)Pad
The (i)Pad (pun intended) is a Macropad (hence the name) featuring 8 keys, one rotary encoder, 6 LED’s and one OLED display.
You can choose between three layers. The layer is shown on the OLED display. The light of the first LED also changes color based on the layer. The other LEDs play a little animation every time you interact with the (i)Pad. It works well. This is my first hardware project so everything was a bit confusing at first. I learned a lot in these 20 hours and had a lot of fun.

Decorated the case a bit
I added some things to the case. I don’t know if it looks good but it looks like that now.
Also the PCB
I added a bunch of SVG’s to the silkscreen. Forgot a picture.
That should be all, I should be able to submit now, once I organize the repo a bit and write a README.

It works!
(i)Pad Devlog #7
I did it! I did a thing!
Behold, my creation.
Anyway, yeah, this is it. In all its glory. It took quite a lot of time to write the firmware but I finally got one I’m happy with.
It has 4 layers:
- Base: Playback things, also open Spotify
- Layer 1: A bunch of function keys
- Layer 2: Opening task manager and other stuff that may be useful
- Layer 3: Resizing windows and stuff.
The OLED display
It just displays the current layer. Also a small box that bounces around.
The LEDs
The first LED indicates the layer. The rest of them play a wave animation every time a key is pressed.
CAD designing
The knob was quite annoying to print because of tolerances and stuff but after 4 attempts it works now. Fusion360 was really laggy while designing the knob for some reason.
I also finally figured out why the plate wasn’t working, I fixed that now. Took me ages.
Soldering
Turns out soldering wasn’t that difficult. I made plenty of mistakes but it worked in the end.

(Wow a 10th devlog already)
Normal maps and god rays
God rays
I found a shader for god rays online and decided to put them in my scenes. Very pretty things they are
Normal Maps
I found out that normal maps exist. I proceeded to add a normal map to almost every texture in the game. It isn’t a huge difference but it’s there and that’s cool.
