doneee with this ;-;
I did NOT think css would take an hour. Most of this was because of this one probelm with my CSS. I have a span function in my html with the text “click to add cover” but it ended up not being visible. I ended up leaving that as is after 30 minutes of trying to find the problem. Oh well, at least i’m done now! I don’t want to worry about it, especially since i need those 30 hours complete all the while worrying about if my code is good enough…anyway, here is the final look! I’ll be prepping this and preparing it for shipping in the meantime, so rinimee out

CSS for first tab donee!
Yayy! With a lot of help from copilot (I had too much trouble because everything wasn’t lining up properly ) I was able to finish the CSS for the first tab! There were a lot of mistakes and annoying loopholes i found in my code which isn’t usual, so I had copilot pick out the weeds. I did write the entire code for css!, copilot tweaked it up and made sure it was clean, so, DONT GET THE WRONG IDEA! here’s how it looks like, so rinimee out

MOAR STUFF DONE!!
alright, i got a lot more productive! I did a lot of javascript, which allowed me to save information locally using localStorage and then I also tweaked some tab switching! Also, I officially started my CSS! I added a background which took FOREVER, but then I realized that I ended up using the function url(‘/whimsybg.jpg’) which is wrong! The backslash is only used for actual links! If its saved in your folder you don’t need it! I also added a cool font and styled the buttons! Here’s a quick snappy, rinimee out

first looks!
I lowkey needed a last hour to fulfill the 30 hour mark, and with only 2 weeks left…the pressure is on! The idea for this is to create a portfolio page for your projects! It’s going to look very similar to my rinimee’s journal without all the fancy stuff. I finished working on the html for the most part, and wanted to switch up some stuff, like adding a textarea block (allowing to manipulate a box for text) for the first tab and adding 9 project spots in the second tab! I’ll be working on javascript next, basing it off once more from my previous project. alright gang rinimee out

**Turnin’ out well! **
So I refurbished a lot of things! I added a title and win screen to it and added some collectibles. Below are some of the elements I mentioned! I was considering adding a small counter for the collectibles but I felt like that was going to be a whole lot of work. Ill be pushing it to Github and then upload it to Itch. Here are some sprites!

PS: I really, REALLY like the birb.

starships more like star-chips
Starchips sound like a fun snack…anyway I’m following this Godot tutorial for Haven Jumpstart and wanted to share the process here! As of now, I made the Player sprite (which I might change later) and also made some platformers for the sprite to move on. It took a while to click on all of the tiles with physics layers, like 5 minutes at most…very rigorous. There wasn’t a ctrl + a option so…insert sigh. Anyway, here’s how it looks like right now!

**quick update **
Woah I just figured out about these emojis…anyway I have to reship because Render projects do not work! I switched it to Vercel so hoping for the best! It didn’t take long to deploy either! I don’t have much to drop into the screenshot section so here’s a free Ryder for you (I really like this drawing). Ok rinimee out

I LOWKENUINLY CRASHED OUT OH MY GOD
You thought I was done? Yeah, yeah no. Apparently, GitHub wants to be a really annoying doodoo-head and wont accept Flask, which is the way I run my Google Gemini for my website. I had to look for another hostname, for like 3 separate times and finally landed on Render! After that, my bot kept on NOT connecting to the backend, which was a whole other dilemma. I made like 10 commits in this hour. It was not fun. Finally, Starry stopped passing out! She works now, phew! Also, I made the font less of an eyesore! Here’s how it looks now!

Completely Done!
So…I know I said I was done, but after fixing a cache issue because apparently Github Pages is case sensitive and everything, starlit stories is up and running! I’m making this devlog just to tell you guys that. Yep. Insert sigh. Anyway, check out my project guys!

Really short but…she’s complete!
After some CSS and some backend fixing (an error that the retry loop in my python AI bot file was being stubborn ended up being the culprit…) I finally finished! It looks really good, and I’m really proud of it! I’ll be working on getting it running on Github Pages and adding a READme for it. Here’s a snapshot! Last devlog, the next one’s gonna be the project deets!

PS: My devlogs aren’t straight bullet points because I like seeing devlogs as a journal that shows emotion and how it would feel if you all were in my shoes, which is why these devlogs look different ;)

CSS is backbreaking ;-;
Alright! CSS is mostly done, still got a couple tweaks and stuff, and I also lowkey need to make a delete chat button…oh well! You can see it turning our pretty well! The title looks bland, and I plan on switching it up just a tad. Also, I added a scroll instead of a book since that’s too much work. Anyway, this is how it looks now! The delete button is kind of functioning, but this is based off of previous knowledge from my journaling website. Here’s a snapshot! I’ll report back in say…another hour? 30 minutes? Hard to say… ;)

CSS Time!
A couple of updates! First off, I added a feature to import images (trying to do PDFS took forever!) so that the user can paste in pictures of their character to develop characterstics and other needs for the story! I also made sure all of the files are saved locally! After that I did a quick fix with the whole “nameless” chat by allowsing users to change it. Now that all the technical stuff is complete, I decided to start working on the CSS! My plan is a little bit complex, which is why I am working on the chat window first. I found this reall cool gothic font on Google Fonts and this really pretty background. Attached is how it looks right now. Since I’m wokring on the chat box, the other features are pretty plain, and the notes features is at the complete bottom…hopefully I’ll look much nicer!

very quick updates ;)
so, i fixed up starry’s yapping problem by developing a better addition to her prompt that basically says to stop yapping and stop using asterisks and hashtags since HTML can’t pick up those as actual formatting commands. i also added local storage to it which was pretty easy since i’ve done it a bajillion times. this was applied to the notes the user can write for and the chats that starry has. that too, when you “flip to a new page” or start a new chat, starry is reset for that specific page and your notes are refreshed too. when you go to the previous page, all your previous work stays. while it might sound complicated, HTML provides functions that are quite literal and allow you to use them anywhere you want!

updates!
today i started to format the next part of my platform, the new chats, or in this case, pages! each page is a new story, and basically how it works is that each chat is assigned a chat id, and therefore is attached to each page. every time you go to a previous page, it is connected to its specific chat id. now, starry is a bit of a yapper, she loves to yap… we are going to fix starrys chatting and also fix her formatting so that she isnt yapping in asterisks 24/7!

ps: i had no idea ← and → meant being rendered as left and right arrows…html rules!!

first devlog: first thoughts!
if you haven’t read through my project details yet, starlit stories is a platform where an ai can help you write a plot without it writing it for you! you can see previous chats and take your own, human notes! this time around, i got my ai api key and used it in a python script as the backend while the html is at the frontend. I’ve decided to work on the css last, since it takes up the least time. after running some errors, talking with real life refs, and getting help from the amazing google gemini, i was finally able to get my ai to work successfully! here’s a snapshot from below!

FINALLY DONE YAYYY!!
some updates! first off, I fixed the calculator format because it was weird, remember? now the calculator is in a landscape format! I also added a notes spot so you can write notes, save them, and when reloaded, you can still see them. I learned how to do this in a previous project, if you’d like to see it its on my projects page! anyway, heres a final snippet of how it looks like when you open the OS, and I’m just so excited to see what I can do next!

ps: yes this is pushed to github so if you wanna see the code GO NOWWW!!!
