Day 153 / 365 Today was good but... strange. I dont know where all my time went lowkey. Like. I remember sitting at my computer a most of the day like usual, but I dont remember what i really did. I worked on one turret though. I got constructor building working (in specific the "combiner" tile behavior), and even tried a little experiment with a 3-item-combination in a new tile. Previously, it would have been a nightmare to add, but now with the recode its just a simple change in like one json value. I had a call with jared (hack club club operations lead) that went realy good and now I know all i gotta do for my ysws >:) so i will probably be doing that tommorow :) but im going to be real i think the reason i dont remember doing much is due to my issue with like anticipated times. like i will specifically hold off from doing something if i know theres a time where i need to step away from whatever im doing. so i end up just watching youtube until the thing in question happens.

giving LLMs a "visual Brain" via a 4d Physics Sandbox llms struggle with spatial geometry because they process text tokens, not dimensions. I am building a physical sandbox framework to act as an external visual cognitive engine for AI. how the loop works: • Code Gen: LLM generates logic to spin up a 4D cloud workspace (3D + time). • Offloading: Heavy orbital mechanics and structural math offload to my custom GPGPU physics engine. • Self-Correction: Live telemetry logs from simulation failures pipe back to the LLM to auto-patch its code. Update: Prototype Done, Moving to Realism! The agentic loop prototype works. Now, I am building the first 4 planets of the solar system using: • NASA Maps: Real elevation data in a Three.js frontend. • Atmospheric Clouds: Custom GLSL shaders for dynamic layers. • Newtonian Orbitals: A multi-body backend gravity matrix. Pushed the core builds to GitHub: github.com/williamjosh-dev/Physical-Sandbox-v1.0- I'm 15 and currently trying to balance massive planetary scales without breaking my WebGL views. Let me know what you think ...

Today I cleaned up the structure of my code and I implemented 2 new features. One is a whitelist for slack ids (currently stored in ENV but i will be making a command later) and the other is an echo command that does exactly as it says when a whitelisted user runs the command.

Back to making my family game for Macondo after exams! So far I have finished: 50% of the first game Tic Tac Toe! I have the player turn system and an indicator for the same! Now i just have to make it so my code can detect currently occupied squares and hence check win conditions! I think I'm going to loop through all the squares next to one square and check if 3 in a row matches in any direction (up down left right) to check win. Similar to like a brute force attack you could say on win conditions.

Hey! I'm Ethan Hawksley from the UK and I've been working on my personal site and blog for a while now, and I think it's finally at a point I'm happy to ship properly. Why: I wanted somewhere to write my blog posts and show my work that actually reflects me technically, instead of just a LinkedIn profile. How: It's built with Astro for zero-JS by default and proper MDX support. I put real effort into a couple places I've not seen many others doing. IBM Plex fonts subsetted with pyftsubset to just the unicode ranges I'm using. Full JSON-LD structured data representing myself and my site fully programmatically. Light & dark mode support with no initial flash of white and js-less fallbacks. Syntax highlighted code blocks with copy buttons. WCAG AA compliant accessibility Support for plenty of web standards, such as openpgpkey, security.txt, WebFinger, and llms/llms-full.txt 100/100 PageSpeed score Where: hawksley.dev and the blog at hawksley.dev/blog

Day 143 / 365 Today was really fun! I attended a cybersecurity CTF hackathon locally. I got second place. It was pretty fun, even though I basically knew nothing. I atleast could recognize bitwise stuff from previous experience (i used hashes + bitwise for the generation of fully unique fellas in my hackclub giftbox game last year). We even held a ping pong tournament for some reason. I got lost in both my first match and my losers bracket match. Oh well still was very fun! Dispite getting home pretty late from that, I managed to get a hour of tracked coding in. I added a game definition resource to my study app horizons project. Now I can easily add new games to the game menu. I finished off coding a simple string-to-boolean-check function for the quiz resource, allowing me to add restrictions for some games without having to hard code it. For example, to play the quiz, you atleast need one column defined to be incorrect answers. In my string formatting, the string "incorrectColumn.length|!=|0". Using that, it checks if the incorrect column variable (uses godot's get() function. really handy.) has a length/size/count that isnt 0, meaning atleast 1 exist. Depending on that, the games will not be selectable + have an indicator :)

Well I wake up, check slack to see if my bot posted the question. And there is.... nothing. I check the log file and apparently i didn't pass the tokens right so that was great. Im going to try one final time but otherwise I might just expose the secrets in the code. After all, I'm not sharing it....

I was working on the question of the day bot today. It was supposed to send a question overnight, but I had my .env file path wrong in the code so my auth wasn't valid. However, now I have it working! I set the time on my server to midnight to test and it works! Set everything back, will check tomorrow if it works! Join #C0B3PHXKD25 to join in the fun!

Day 128 / 365 Forgot to mention in my other post that my aces game got moved over to horizons, but its probably going to be a minute before i work on it to get it into a shippable state. Im thinking of what I want to do next for it. Lowkey im considering a rebrand, since my dad a while back made a comment on the fact I chose a generally occult theming, and now i feel a bit uncomfortable with keeping that. I really shouldnt let his opinions sway my artistic visions but its sorta hard not do, given hes my father. anywhom today I was a bit busy with school and some other stuff. For example I was trying to drive my brother to his swim practice, but due to the traffic, he was going to be so late that me, him, and my dad decided that he should just skip it. we did, then we ate at an italian resturant we havent had in a long while. Good times. I worked on my horizons game a bit, I updated the inventory system so it actually uses up items. I think im going to try and add status effects next. Lowkey not excited for tommorow, even though I have a hack club meeting. I have to wake up early to drive my brother to one of the swim things, and I have to lock in on a final group project for computer science, since my teammates are doing NOTHING bro. its due IN TWO DAYS. this is the FINAL PROJECT. and I NEED AN A 😭 PLEASE. anyways thank you for reading have a good day 😇

Day 127 / 365 Where do i even begin. I will start with non hackclub stuff. I went to a banquet for the honors college thing at my community college. I will be honest I really dont know what it was about. Me and my little brother had to leave early since after that we had tutoring at the local church. I didnt have to participate since I was studying for test that I really gotta do good on. Now onto the hackclub stuff. Worked on my horizons game, adding in proper ui for the inventory. Jared, the hack club club operations lead, saw one of my earlier scrapbook posts (day 115) about my custom workshop i did with my club and really liked it. He reached out, and there may or may not be a certain official ysws coming to a hack club near you. Also possibly a certain post inside the club leaders newsletter. I say maybe because a lot of things can happen in life lol. Maybe aliens visit and steal all the computers. Hope that doesnt happen!

Day 124 / 365 Homework is an enemy. Do not let your guard down. I did. I had an assignment where I had to "create a outline" for my final speech for public speaking. Since that was a simple thing, I saved it for today, the day it was due. Turns out I also needed to make a presentation, cite multiple sources (which werent needed in previous speeches this class), and even do a audience analysis (which i dont even know how to format). I managed to do all that over the span of 8 hours. It was pretty late when I finished so i didnt code much. I added a quick system that automatically adds a range-of-detection for all enemy (and all deriving classes). I prefer having it autocreate that rather than me manually making a node in the enemy scene for every enemy. For now, I just made it look at the player when they get close. Man i accidentally copies the wrong layer for my doodle so now on the scrapbook website is wrong and it wont let me edit it 😭 scrapbook readers you will see the doodle tommorow ig

Day 2 (119/365): • woke up early, did some exercise (push-ups still feel really hard lowkey) • built my first slack bot using bolt in py, basically auto updates the date for #C0A63BZ2AQN, docs were kinda confusing but I managed to figure it out(took my morning) • realized I need hosting for it and found Hack Club Nest which might solve it, will deploy tmrw • worked on face-to-anime project but it’s way harder than I thought, so I shifted into learning C to work with opengl and get some low level taste(will do c++ and assembly as well) • watched this video about how computers actually work and it honestly blew my mind as how simple it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZwneRb-zqA • had focus issues because of Minecraft Bedwars distractions for too many days, so I decided to stop playing it for a month, if i do, i wont code neither use computer for a week and just study • didn’t finish the chapter today but will tomorrow • planning to start this book from tomorrow as i wanna know how computer actually works: Enjoy: 2/5 Productivity: 1/5 Study: No Coding: Yes(2hr 21m) So no game this time fr. Will learn abt computer as well as will work on project and other side projects if it get hold. Quote: "Everything is possible once you think it is possible"

Day 117 / 365 I liked today, today was good. I worked a bit more on that minecraft modpack team stuff, mostly just fixing up tags and setting up item restrictions, all that jazz. BUT i did do something actually cool today! I started work on my hack club horizons project. Im going to be making a game called "Router Rebellion". The core idea is an topdown action rpg where the main gimmick is you create your own bullets in a sort of node-graph system. Ive been thinking about this game idea for a good while and have come up with some insane worldbuilding for it. No spoilers >:3 If you notice a slight similarity to my long term project (one turret) (wishlist on steam wink wink nudge nudge), then you would be correct in your assumption. The factory-that-creates-bullets-that-the-user-uses-as-a-weapon element in the game idea actually stems a LONG time ago when I was first making one turret and was considering what I wanted to make. After 2 years im finally using the idea! I only actually worked on the game for 1 hour today, but I got some pretty good player and camera movement going. Should also support controller if i set up the godot stuff right, will check later. I also improved the shader im using from a few days ago to replicate my 2d style for this horizons project.

Day 116 / 365 Today I locked in quite a bit. Since its been a while since I worked on that modpack stuff, I started working on that again. I was starting to feel bad from not contributing, given that its entirely a team effort. I also applied for hack club stardance ambassador. In this role you put up posters and host meetups locally for the upcoming stardance program. I applied since I can drive, and plus I love hack club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im also considering on starting my horizons project. Ive been thinking about some really cool world building, but I also wonder if im perhaps biting off more than i can chew... oh well! speaking of biting and chewing i also got to try some limited time krispy kreme donuts that go away soon it was really yummy wow. and and and and i ALSO got some cool github stuff from haxmas.

been hacking on opencitation this weekend — it's a citation manager with a full wikipedia 2005 aesthetic (yes, the blue links, the serif font, the whole thing). today: ripped out the "navigate to a new page to add a citation" flow and replaced it with a modal that pops up right on your list. also set up github actions with claude as the code reviewer on every PR, which feels a little recursive. stack is next.js + dynamodb + electron for desktop 🗂

Day 110 / 365 Lowkey i feel like ive been really unproductive recently :pf: I wanted to get some work on one turret recode done, but it ultimately ended up with me going down a rabbit hole thats basically just resulted in "Hey the recode of your flawed system to make it unflawed actually has a major flaw still" and now I might need to recode a lot. or I could just... ignore it. idk. either A: Keep with my current system which may make it harder in the future for specific things, or B: make a new system that makes the system even more flexible. The only thing is that I probably wouldnt even use option B, but it would be useful for modding (but to be honest legit like nobody mods (or plays) one turret so it doesnt make all that much of a difference for modding). If your curious the recode is for how the game handles tiles in correlation to 2 by 2 buildings. so yeah from that i ultimately didnt code anything 😭 well actually i lied!! i made a converter behavior!! That I only have tested on 1 by 1 tiles so far, since i havent added 2 x 2 in the recode... which is great because there arent any 1 by 1 converters in the game 😭 anywhom I think I might be able to lock in tommorow! thank you for reading

Day 109 / 365 Very chill day today. I fixed some errors with the recode of my game One Turret. For some reason, the router accepted any input direction (which is bad its supposed to input from one direction, then output 3 at random). Luckily that one was just a json issue. But there was also a bug where it would randomly pause outputing and do nothing. The reason behind it was simple actually: It kept trying to output in one direction, and since it wasnt able to deposit an item, it wouldnt change the target direction. This is unintentional so I added a new function for for when a tile fails to transfer. I love it when a bug fix just leads to more flexible code!!! :D I mentioned a hero shooter game (fungakas) 2 days ago made by one of my friends, and ive lowkey been playing it with my friend group a lot. Infact, me and the developer are collabing to add the one turret from one turret into the game so i did a bit of work on that today. yippee!! Now I feel like a truly professional game dev since i talked to another professional game dev for a professional collab using our professional games in a very professional conversation!!

Officially Day 103 Personally Day 17 Finally got an ending to this damned game that's robbed me of my motivation. It's such a mess code wise and there's some bugs that only happen sometimes... But It's cool tho!! github.com/pixelsaver/neonic pixelsaver.itch.io/neonic

Day 102 / 365 Today I was sick :pf: so yeah thats fun. I think its mostly just allergies, since it was my nose feeling a bit strange and my throat being sore, plus i was out a lot yesterday so i guess it makes sense. Anyways today I actually got back to working on one turret! I got better tile animations working AND made it so the conveyor tile will automatically switch to its turn / T shape / three way variants. I was also able to do this inside the conveyor behavior script, rather than in the tile simulation code itself (unlike the old main script im remaking). I also played a good bit of minecraft with my friends today. Since the server was on the new snapshot, we were able to make a golf course using the new sulfur cube fellas. very silly.

Day 101 / 365 Today I didnt code much, as most of my day was taken by me going to the "Stem Day" event at the community college. I went with my brother and dad, and the main reason we want was because my brother. Why? Well I already know all the stem stuff they give at the college, i go there through dual enrollment. I mean my brother knows it too since hes SOMEHOW doing dual enrollment at the young age of 13 😭 i have no clue how hes so smart. anyways there was a lot of cool stuff, but i personally found a few of the sciences stuff to be boring. In particular, chemistry 1 (chemistry was so big they needed to split it) and astronomy. Like in those you had to make slime or paint a planet respectively. To be fair I think that might just be because Im not all that big on most sciences lol. There were roughly 20 exhibits in total but we only managed to get through 6 in the time frame. One of the exhibits was hosted by a local hospital, and they had this cool diagram of the eye, and also had some glasses that shifted your vision to the right by a foot or so. Then we had to try and play cornhole / bean bag toss with the glasses. Cool stuff. All this talk about different majors reminds me of before i was into coding. Back then I wanted to be an architect! I guess jobs with creative design was always in my blood to begin with! oh and the event had free pizza so that was a plus too

Day 82 / 365 I didn't have that much homework (probably since i just got off spring break) so i had plenty of time today! I chilled and played some games, bug tested my two of my friend's game, and also worked on one turret! Im doing a task ive been anticipating for a while, which is rewriting one turrets main script, which dates back to roughly 2 years ago. It is really bad. over 1400. doesnt sound that bad, but its mostly the contents thats the issue. that chunk of code handled too much stuff, like tile placing, tile simulation, loading all the tile, type, and recipe data, handling enemy cash reward, handling waves (not the spawning), having death screen, and even more junk. Plus a lot of stuff is hardcoded in there too. Im remaking the system from the ground up (sorta), where its the same script but broken up into multiple nodes. So far I got through a simple tile manager, simulation manager, and rendering manager. This new system, rather than hardcoding behaviors, will now contact external static scripts to figure out what to do. I got conveyors working in this new system :) making changes to this system later will be MUCH easier too! the new system also fixes a visual bug thats ALWAYS been in the game where the item will dissapear for a frame when jumping conveyors. video attached is what i got so far (conveyors slowed down for demonstration purposes) also only a few days until day 86! :yay: get it because like kaplin86 okay i will see myself out thank you

Status: Recovering from an infection, but the code must go on! 🤒 ✅ Accomplishments Today: Dynamic Battle Initialization: Successfully linked the World Map encounters to the Battle Scene. The BattleManager now dynamically loads Pokémon sprites (Front/Back) and names based on the specific encounter. Save File Integration: Integrated the PlayerSaveResource to ensure the battle correctly identifies the player’s ChosenStarter and reflects it in the UI. Encounter Logic: Refined the TallGrass script to calculate encounter chances and pick random Pokémon from a level-specific wildPokemonList. UI & Bug Squashing: Fixed “Node Not Found” errors by correcting the UI pathing through Ui/Controls/. Resolved an InvalidCastException by correctly identifying the “Run” button as a TextureButton rather than a standard Button. Implemented the Run Button logic to gracefully exit the battle scene. 🛠 Technical Hurdles Cleared: Enum Conversion: Solved the challenge of converting string data from the level list and StarterChoice enums into the master PokemonID enum. Scene Tree Navigation: Mastered the relationship between the BattleBase root and its nested UI components to avoid null references. :black_right_pointing_double_triangle_with_vertical_bar: What’s Next: Implementing the Move/Attack menu. Syncing HP bars with actual Pokémon stats. Adding transition animations for a smoother “Encounter Start” feel. flavortown.hackclub.com/projects/8520
