I studied a lot today so no progress but a Sprig Portals sneak peak soon!
And of course we can't forget our Duolingo practice
Wow, another Sprig Portals Dev Log?
Yep, Its true! Another Dev log is here finally!
What took you so long?
For those wondering I just didn't have the time to create a dev log 😞
The changes / new features!
1. We now have WIRES! You heard that right, wires so you don't have to guess to what an object connects to.
2. The Player Launcher. Did you ever want to avoid all of these stupid holes? Now you can! Introducing the Player Launcher.
It launches you a couple feet / meters into the air! Walls not included
psss, are you reading this? If you are check out some of the WIP Music and share feedback!
Sadly I couldn't record a video of the features in action but what I can do is share a screenshot.
And of course the code so you will be able to play it for yourself!
I changed my profile picture today but didn't do much because it was a national holiday and we were out!
I also practiced my Portuguese :)
The mc modding revolution of Quilt Continues!
As the title suggest I am continuing my development phase of my mod and it was going smoothly except... When the texture did not want to render. 😤
Anyways I also did a bit of Portuguese practice on Duolingo but I run out of hearts
Welp Thursday already ended!
Do you know what that means? No...
Well then its day review time!
1) This is Stanley
2) Reached 13 days on my Portuguese practice :ultrafastparrot:
3) Installed the Quilt MC Modding toolchain! I found forge to be too bulky.
4) This is Stanley
Another day another post!
Today I surprisingly was a pretty good and active day for programming ( And KSP )
1) I started working on SFX for my sprig game! Sneak Peek soon™
2) I launched unexpectedly multiple rockets to Orbit on KSP 1 ( Kerbal Space Program ).
3) Practiced a bit on Portuguese but I was kinda tired so didn't do much :(
Completes Lesson one of Unit 2 on Portuguese in Duolingo!
Obrigado @Lucas & @luanderfarias.
It has been 11 days since you "challenged" me!
Today did a lot of studying for upcoming exams tho I did enter Unit 2 of Portuguese. Basically hoe to introduce yourself etc
Oi, @Lucas & @luanderfarias
A new day for Duolingo!
Unfortunately didn't have much time today so I just practiced everything from Unit 1.
Hello!
Today we finished Unit 1.
Can't wait to start the second unit .
And of course thanks to @Lucas & @luanderfarias they got me into Portuguese learning
Sprig Portals | Day 3 of Development!
Today was a major day for the development of Sprig Portals, because we added CUBES and BUTTONS!
When a cube touches a button, it triggers events.
These events range to enable / removing an object or even unlocking a door.
Here is a sneak peak of today's progress!
And the latest build is of course attached in the comments.Another day another Portuguese learning day!
~~~ What I did today ~~~
Today was pretty chill till the night where I had a lot of issues with the sinerider bot. Thanks @JosiasAurel for helping me.
On the duolingo side I did some very needed revision. And I can proudly say:
@Lucas tem um cachorro!
Wait, is it already Thursday?
Yes my fellow hackclubers and friends, it is!
That means a whole new day for learning Portuguese!
Thanks again @Lucas & @luanderfarias for the challenge
Sprig Portals | Day 2 of Development!
The first and only feature that I have implement in this devlog are functioning walls! You heard that right , WALLS!
Below is Video showcasing the Walls! The JS File is also attached so you can check it out while it is in the dev phase.Portuguese progress!
This is Day #2 of my Sprig Adventure!
Today I completed a few sprites that need rework so that's why I didn't upload a picture yet.
Also it is day 2 of learning Brazilian Portuguese on Duolingo. Recommended of the one and only @Lucas and @luanderfarias!
Unexpected started learning Brazilian Portuguese. Thanks @Lucas & @luanderfarias
This is Day 1 of tracking my progress on my new #sprig game! The game that I am building is called, Sprig Portals! An update can be published multiple times a day! The post will also include the latest project file and video / photo of the changes!
~~~ What is this game about? ~~~
This game is heavily inspired by ValvE game, Portal.
This game has of course the beloved feature of the Portal franchise, Portals!
Furthermore is will also have some inspired puzzle elements such us cubes, launchers and probably more lmao.
~~~ The Changelog of Portals ~~~
1. Add Proper Animations
2. Add UI

It was a blast to build the simple UI Renderer and a simple multi input handler lol.Just finished my first modular main menu for my new sprig game. It was a blast to build the simple UI Renderer and a simple multi input handler lol.Did not do much today but I started working on a coding compensation that I can not post screenshots of :/ Tomorrow we will see what I'll do👀
Today was a pretty busy day, so I wasn't able to do absolutely anything lol.
I was super busy today so I just studied and started reading a physics book. Not much overall
Today was a really interesting and difficult day.
What I did :ultrafastparrot:
1️⃣ Started working on a massive rework of Kelp LTD website using Nuxt and Vue. It is going quite smoothly!
2️⃣ Wrote an ~2h math test, not that fun
3️⃣ Started working on an idea of mine, an Electrical Calculator / Graph creator. While many of these tools already exist, I'd like to try creating my own. Anyways, I started with the UI & Toolbar. I forgor to take a screenshot lol
4️⃣ Commodore 64 time again! I learned about the get function, really fun stuff tbh
5️⃣ And of course played :minecraft: with the one and only @Odysseus & @doruk
Day whatever of my life on #scrapbook!
Today I completed the sinerider bot, programmed in the Commodore 65 and played MC with @Odysseus. And also launched an Order Lookup system for Kelp LTD. I also continued my adventure on how current works!
What I didn't like about today:
+ I did ~4 hours of math for an exam. Not fun
Quick recap of today's day, #idk.
Today was as always a busy day but I did do a few things!

3️⃣ Expanded the Galaxy Nether Highway and Transport System, it is coming out amazingly!
4️⃣ Expanded Kelp LTD with @Odysseus
That's all for today! Sad thing is that I didn't learn more about the Commodores 64 :( Anyway, I am not looking forward to next week. I have 3 exams and I am quite stressed.
Pretty chill and tiring day today. I wasn't home for a most of the day, so I didn't do much. Anyways, I built a F to C degrees converter in the Commodore 64! :ultrafastparrot:
Its that time again, its Commodore 64 time!
Today I learned to do simple animations and listened to the emulator playing tape datassetes
2nd day of MCDA ( Marios Crazy Daily Adventures ). Today was totally focused on using VISE and emulator of the Commodore 64! It really os fascinating and tape is frustrating lol. Here is a picture of the handbook that I am following to know the basics.
Today is the 1st day of what I call, the DM ( Daily Marios ) Didn't do much because I was out of town

Day 2 on working on Plant Location Chooser for Winter Hardware Wonderland :winter-hardware-wonderland: ! Today I installed my HM10 module and spent ~3 hours troubleshooting till it worked. Anyways here is the current build.
Day 1 of Winter Hardware Wonderland, and I decided it to be KiCad day! Had so much fun import all the different libraries. Here is the first iteration.
Unexpectedly took an interest on Raspberry Pi Picos from Arduinos and decided to experiment with them. The windows setup with vscode was definitely a pain and it took ~2 hours, so I didn't have much time to do any other project but a modified blink project with a reset switch. Also I almost bent a pin 😑.
First day of posting on #scrapbook. Didn't do much today because I was studying but I got to fix a simple bug on the chromium project.
