desktop guy

desktop pet??? nahhh. have a grown man instead.

Background info

sorry for the clickbait guys. I know the sprite is currently a dog, not a guy💔 I haven’t gotten around to drawing the sprite yet. BUT, by the next devlog, he will be here.

What I have so far

Nothing crazy so far. I worked through the main tutorial this session.

• Created temporary sprite and animations
• Created basic movement and physics
• Made grabbing and idling mechanics

To-do

• Draw the actual sprite
• Create better physics (swinging while dragging, falling onto taskbar, etc.)
• Make the guy speak
• Add more animations
• Add a menu

Extra info

new project wooooo. Since this is a smaller project there will be more frequent devlogs compared to my other projects.

That’s it for now. Until next time!

WackyRecipes

A rng-like website that gives you weird foods to make!

Background info

I swear imma get more consistent with these devlogs💔 BUT we’re taking major steps forward regarding this project!!!

What’s new

• Recipe generator is complete!!! (sorta)
  • The main generate area is complete. check out it’s designated section for more info!
• Added more recipes and images!
• Created basic outline for the recipe collection/index
  • This page will have all the recipes for those who want to choose the recipe themselves.
  • Clicking on the images will bring in another container that has the name, ingredients, and instructions (not finished with this part tho)
• Removed the ‘saved’ page
  • Supposed to be the page where you could see all your fav recipes
  • I felt like this page would too hard to implement and was redundant
  • I’ll probably just add the main feature to the ‘collection’ page somehow

Feature done!: Generate page

I used an array to store all the info about each recipe (the images, recipe name, etc.) Then I connected it to each and . The array value is connected to a rng that changes everytime the page refreshes.

Then, to make the recipes “reroll” I just used the refresh function.

Here’s where I could use some help. I want each ingredient and instruction to be on it’s own seperate line. I’ve tried joining each value with ‘/n’, ‘/ln’, ‘/br’, ‘’, but nothing worked. So if anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know!!

To-do

• Add ingredients and instructions to the remaining of the recipes
• Work on the collection page
  • Hopefully by the next devlog, when the image is clicked, a sidebar will appear. And, maybe it’ll have some animations too :^) !!

That’s it for now. Until next time!

Star-Catcher - Last Devlog

“Catch the Stars!” - Game made for the WarioWare Mission

Background info

It’s been a looong time since the last devlog. Honestly, I’ve been thinking about this project for awhile now, but I’ve decided to ship this project.

What’s new

• Made the meteor icon for 4th minigame
• Animations!!!!
  • Meteor animation
  • New sprite walking animation!
• Minor bug fixes

Extra info

Thanks for everyone who enjoyed my devlogs and this project, It was really nice seeing you guys enjoy it! I wish I could’ve added more to this game, but I’m happy with how it ended up. Maybe one day I’ll return to this game.

Thank you for reading. Until next time!

WackyRecipes

A rng-like website that gives you weird foods to make!

Background info

Just like I mentioned in my last devlog, I mainly focused on making the home page look better. I also worked on the rng-like mechanics of the generate page and worked a bit on the js.

What’s new

• Changed the color scheme
  • I replaced the brown with this deep red color because it looks more inviting and yummy
• New home page layout
  • I put each section into a box to keep the layout organized. I might make some tweaks to it, but I’m happy with it for now!
• Created basically on the generate page so far
  • Made the roll box, the recipe box, and made the buttons actually work (except there’s no randomizing yet </3)
• Created an array for all the recipes
• Linked the css to the other 2 pages

To-do

• Mainly focus on finishing the generate page
  • Upload images of the food
  • Work on the js to actually make the recipes appear

Extra info

I wanted to work on this project a bit more but I’m already over 4 hours for this devlog so I just decided to showcase what I have so far. Hopefully next devlog will be a bit more interesting.

That’s it for now. Until next time!

WackyRecipes - First devlog!

A rng-like website that gives you weird foods to make!

Background info

New project wooooo!! I’ve had the idea of a website that gives you absurd recipes for a while. Now that sticky streaks came out, I finally have a reason to start a new project!!

What I have so far

I was mostly focused on getting the aesthetics of the website down.

• Top/nav bar with css animations
  • I love css animations so much they’re so cool. Originally, the hovered text covered the other. However, this was quickly fixed by changing the transform from scale() to font-size
• Added text/instructions to home screen
• Linked the other pages (e.g. generate, saved) to the main/home page

To-do

• Change the top bar color to a more reddish color
• Format the text on the home page better
  • Right now it looks a bit ugly since I was just trying to get an outline of what I want. By the next devlog it should be looking a little better
• Add css to button at the bottom
• Add/link css to the other pages

Extra

This project’s looks was inspired by Flavortown’s website. Though I never participated in it, I thought the website looked really cute. I’m planning for this to be a short project (~10 hours) but I’m not the most professional expert coder, so it might take longer.

That’s it for now. Until next time!

Star-Catcher

“Catch the Stars!” - Game made for the WarioWare Mission

Background info

Sooooo yea it’s been a while lmao. Genuinely I’ve been working on the 4th mini game for the longest cause I could figure out how to connect signals properly😭. But, we’re past that now! (thankfully)

What’s new

SO most of my effort has been put into making the 4th level so not much has been added

• Created and finished the 4th minigame
  • Collect 8 stars in under 20 seconds, dodge the meteors (meteor icon hasn’t been drawn yet 💔)
• Minor bug fixes

Appreciation section

As I was making this minigame I saw that @lantyrn created a minigame similar to this! Their project really helped me fix my signal connecting issues cause I genuinely had no idea what I was doing.

So, thank you latyrn for your amazing project (Starry Scramble) – Go check it out it’s really cool and well made!

To-do

• Draw icons for meteor and new star icons
  • Also finish making sprite animation while I’m at it
• Figure out how to fade out music using tweens
• Draw some more backgrounds
• Make the game more enjoyable to play!

If you have any suggestions, let me know. That’s it for now. Until next time!

Star-Catcher

“Catch the Stars!” - Game made for the WarioWare Mission

Background info

It’s back!!! When I saw the continuation to the WarioWare mission, I decided to do it! I haven’t been able to add a lot cause I’ve been busy these days.

What’s new

• Sound effects!
  • I added a lot of sound effects to make the gameplay feel more interactive/immersive
  • Button clicks, star shines, etc.

  • I’ve been trying to find music for the levels and start screen but have been unsuccessful so far😞 I might create some custom music for it
• Updated settings
  • added volume sliders
• Created a base for the 4th minigames
  • The idea is that you catch the stars that fall from the sky while avoiding meteors. You lose the minigame if you touch the meteor

To-do

• Update character sprite
• Add music to minigames

That’s it for now. Until next time!

CityTab - Last Devlog

A City Pop inspired new tab!

Background info

It’s finished!!! After working on this project for a good while, I finally decided to push through and finish it. I removed the option to hide the widgets because I couldn’t figure out how to make the button work properly, and because I’ve spent wayy too much time on this project and I just want to move on to new stuff.

What’s new

• I’ve added the rest of the song audios and images
• Music tracklist!
  • I’ve added a list that shows all the music currently on the music player
• Readme is finished!

I’m going to ship this project in a few minutes. Maybe in the future I’ll add more features. But, for now, it’s finished. Thanks for all the support on this project!

Until next time!

CityTab

A City Pop inspired new tab!

New widget: Weather app!

Most weather apps have a search bar where you can find your city and see the weather, but I wanted to use geolocation api so the weather automatically appears when you allow the website to access your location.
.
I was following like 3 different tutorials to get the code to work. The latitude and longitude kept showing up as “undefined” every time I ran the code. Turns out I had to set them to “const” and not as variables😐. So after that, I was able to get everything else to work. I gave it some basic styling for right now.
.
Big thanks to @nokira!! I saw that they did something similar in their project (MainTab) and their code helped me figure out what was wrong with mine. So, once again, thank you!!

What’s new

• Top bar
  • “Now playing” section with scrolling animation! Will be used when the music player is implemented
  • A welcome section on the left where you’ll be able to add your name
• Weather widget
  • Shows the current temp
  • Shows your current location under the temp

To-do

• Add a settings button to the topbar
• Customize top bar more (change colors)
• Fix weather widget font sizing (make temp font-size larger)
• Make calendar widget

That’s it for now. Until next time!

Pegboard

My personal site!

What’s new

Not much has been added. I mostly work on this website in between my other projects as a “break”, so I like to keep this website pretty simple to give my brain a break 😓

• Added image links to my socials on the top shelf
• Clicking on the vinyls/albums brings you to spotify
  • Originally, clicking on the album would play a song and a panel would show up saying what song it is, but I decided to just link it to spotify instead because it’s more convenient and would make the website less cluttered
• Added hover animations
  • Just to make the website a little more fun

To-do

• Add keychain drawing for the project’s section
• Decorate the website a little bit more

That’s it for now. Until next time!

CityTab

A City Pop inspired new tab!

Background info

New project wooooo!!! Making the basics of the website took me wayy longer than if should’ve, but at least I got it done 😭

I followed a tutorial for the search bar to get the basic searching functions. After that, I changed the look and size of it to fit the website and created a function to let you search stuff by pressing “enter”.

Bug fixes

Fixing bugs took the most time out of this session. I mainly had issues centering items. After fighting with the “justify-content” and “align-items”, I ended up just using transform to center everything.

What I have so far

• Search bar
• Bookmarks (youtube, stardance, github, and slack)
• Working clock/time

To-do

• Create a top bar
  • Will eventually display music when music player is done
• Make a weather widget
• Make clock/time more visible
  • Also just realized that it’s not centered… so yea imma go fix that

Thanks for reading! Until next time!

Background info

It’s almost done!!! My motivation has been wavering a bit which prevented me from working on this project for a while, but we pushed through😎.

New minigame!

The third and last minigame. It was originally going to be a whack-a-mole type game but I realized that was above my skill level and I decided to make a clicking/reaction game instead.

• You have to click on the star 15 times to progress
• A black hole will appear. If you click on it, you lose a life
• Text indicating when to click or stop with custom animation! (Inspired by @Gabl ’s Goose Games- Go check it out!)

• Created win screen with play again+menu buttons
  • Background hasn’t been drawn yet

I decided to keep the title screen image, but I might change the title design. I did have some ideas because I was way too overambitious, but I’m happy with how the game turned out! I hope you do too.

I’ll make one last devlog before shipping after I write my Readme and draw the winner’s screen

Thank you for all the support so far. Until next time!

Background info

I haven’t been working on this game as much as I should lately, but I swear imma lock in 😭. I made some drawings for the background and made a new banner!
