@mileswk6I have a project that I think could be really cool and fun, so I have reached out to people to see what can be done. And no, this is different than #C084UELDWRJ
@Kaplin867+Day 138 / 365
Today I did not do that coding grind i talked about yesterday. Only 30 tracked minutes. Then again, I did spend my morning trying to figure out some stuff for my online summer self-paced chemistry class. But more importantly, I spent a good bit of time planning. Im picking up the game from the aces ysws to continue working on it. I mean it already got moved to horizons, so it would be unwise to just let those hours rot. So I did a bit of analysis of my own game. In summary: It sucks. The game is lowkey bad. But I have devised plenty of things to help make the game better, with a bit of feedback from my friends. Started by making a 3d model of the little follower figurines for the board. Previously those were a bunch of 2d images but it looks so much better in 3d. The 30 minutes today was spent switching systems (from 2d image color modulation to swapping textures for the model for the various follower colors)
Also did a bit of talking with an online friend. He wouldnt have been able to go to horizons nexus (san francisco), but he said that given the timing and the distance, he could go to horizons europa (Berlin). It would also be cheap hour-to-flight-grant-wise for him since hes in the uk. And if I work 3 hours a day on my projects, I could definently meet the required hours to go all the way there. I will be asking my parents tommorow if its fine with them.

Today was pretty cool since i saw the theater premiere of BFDIA episode 25 (the finale). fun fact: im a pretty big object show fan. They also gave a really cool lanyard with the two of the characters which for spoiler reasons i wont say why its these two specifically. So yeah I drove 2 hours with me, my brother, and my dad to go see it. We got home around dinner time and I was a bit tired so I lowkey played for the rest of the day. Tommorow im going to get back on that coding grind though!

Today was very chill. Didnt program lol. Its okay though, assuming I reached the deadline for the cool horizon stickers (i cant tell because on the announcement image it says due today while the text says due tommorow), i have the necessary 5 day streak. Not to long after I woke up, my family went to this one resturant. very country-side themed. all you can eat resturant. very small menu though, with only 3 main dishes: Chicken, ham, and roast beef. I didnt eat much of the chicken as im not the biggest fan of eating things from the bone lowkey. I drew meat on the bone in todays doodle because i am not going to try and draw a slice of ham. Either way this place is important as me and my family used to go here a lot a long time ago, back when i was a little kaplin. It had closed down around the time of the pandemic (but we stopped going there a bit before that). Not to long ago, they reopened after 6 years of being closed, so we went there as a late mothers day gift (my mom was out of town on mothers day). So once i got home (roughly around 3pm in case you wanted to know) I mostly just played and chilled. I helped my friend regonold with his cave generation for his macondo game (macondo is a hackclub ysws btw). He consults me for help since im fairly good at hytale's world generation, so I can give a few pointers to help him. Its even better when your doing the generation yourself, since your not limited to the nodes. Ive also been considering making my steam game, one turret, open source. Im consulting the people of the one turret discord server on what they think, and I will probably ask regonold tommorow when hes online since he is the biggest one turret fan.
@Kaplin867+Day 135 / 365
Today was a very lock-in type of day. I had to wake up really early to drive my dad to work (he has vision impariment and thus cant drive). But I used this early morning to my advantage, getting a good chunk of work on my horizons game done really early. I worked on getting models to load for dialogue, and also being able to search the model for the animation player to find available animations. Outside of coding, I really just played some mindustry and hypixel bedwars. I also tried to do some world gen stuff in hytale. i was hoping with their recent updates it would be easier to make a dungeon system, but turns out thats not the case and I gave up. I probably would need to find some guide in the hytale modding discord servers. I finally got my horizons ship back. I was told some changes i need to make (like make a full proper level), so I worked on that a bit. The level looks okay. its using some placeholder assets since i havent made any props yet. Its supposed to be a sorta city outskirts type of feel. In totality I did 4 hours today! Im probably going to ship it immediately after this post!
🎮🚢@mileswk6Well 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....
🤖@Kaplin867+Day 134 / 365
I lowkey didnt do all that much today since I slept in + had to immediately go tutor at the local church. this is the last day before the group we tutor has summer, so that means last day. I coded one hour on my horizons game to keep the streak (i want the holographic stickers they have for doing a 5 day streak right now) and in that hour i was sorta just debugging the custom dialogue editor. I was having some strange issue where godot wouldnt let me edit an array of a loaded resource? strange. anyways the way i fixed it was just creating a new empty dialogue holder resource and loading all the information in manually. Seems to do the trick!
🎮☀️@Freedom0My L1 rocket so far praying I pass certification
🚀@mileswk6I 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!
🤖@Kaplin867+Day 133 / 365
Hi guys! I did some pretty cool stuff on my horizons game today :) I gave godot editor scripts a try for the first time so I can make a dialogue editor for my game to fit all the things i need (since doing it by hand would be a nightmare). I had a lot of trial and error. At first I was trying to make it so when it starts the command, it asks for a file, and then once you choose one it loads that resource into my dialogue editor, but for whatever reason it just... wouldnt work. i was running a simple await on a signal, but it never emit the signal? anyways i just reworked it so you press a load button in the editor to load the dialogue lol. Also played a bit more mindustry with friends :yay: (we didnt get too far into the map even after 3 hours)
🎮@Ava Bisset0thing@LeonardoDev0I built a Custom AI Assistant with both a CLI and a Streamlit interface. It’s basically like having Claude Code but with a custom UI: it can read and analyze my local files directly from the terminal.
@mileswk6#C013AGZKYCS has lowk died and now it is more like #C09R9H3NC86... so I am working on a slack bot that will use #C099S1LLFFU to generate a question, add it to a list of used questions (so no repeats) and eventually will post questions.
🤖@revi0you've seen the lanyard.cnrad.dev discord status embed generator thing. its cool, you can embed your discord profile into your website. yay!
but what about your hackclub slack profile..? to my knowledge nobody made such a thing yet...
hi! i made slacktivity!! its a slack bot (hello @slacktivityspy )/api that lets you generate live svgs/pngs of your profile, and supports embedding everywhere!! even in this very slack post (although slack cdn caching wont make the preview live-updated unless you click on it)
heres the github, the api docs are in there somewhere. to get started, you can try /slacktivity-help and /slacktivity-register, then /slacktivity-preview!!
hope you have fun using it, i definitely had fun making it. 14h 25m acc. to hackatime as of post!
made for #C07UZSKJQRX, with <3 from @revi & the Icarus Alliance (+ Kai)

🤖🔥🚢@Kaplin867+Day 131 / 365
My summer starts today but its probably going to take a while before everything settles down. Did a psych test and public speaking speech. so now im finally done!! yippee!!! so i lowkey just played for the rest of the day. I ate a celebratory dessert at a mexican resturant. this is sorta a tradition my family has been doing since I first started doing dual enrollment lol. Anwyhom I worked on my horizons game for an hour, I added a cool enemy trigger system where if you enter an area it will make all its child nodes visible and processing. this works for walls as well to box players in. I wanna lock in tommorow (and hopefully my horizons ship from 7 days ago will be accepted lol!!)
🚢🎮☀️@tanjim0hihi! i made my own ssh client in rust! (partially while in a huddle with @oodlia ju)! i implemented all the crypto math myself (i did not just import some off the shelf ssh library). this is pretty much the first rust project i have made.
it was kinda hard because when you get the math wrong you don't get a friendly "hey you got this math wrong" and the compiler/debugger doesnt help, you just get a "connection closed" from the server and that could mean anything
what do you think?🚢🔥@Kaplin867+Day 130 / 365
HELLOOO MY BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME SCRAPBOOK POST READERS!! kaplin here. Today i got to sleep in! its been a while since i did that lol. Spent most of my day working on school to prepare for my final speech and psychology test tommorow. Also worked on getting that team project done for computer science. we got it done, with only 9 minutes to spare (submitted at 11:50 pm). i edited video for it since that was one of the requirements. I didnt work on my horizons game today sadly though :C anyways im going to go sleep i need to wake up early tommorow!! this is also why the doodle today is very basic i wanna go to bed
💤🎮🎒@Peace0Working on an Infinite Craft clone but for colors. Managed to create a clunky css UI.
🔥@Kaplin867+Day 129 / 365
Today was very chill. I held a hackclub meeting. I got a bunch of bars from my last meeting since that was the prize. Candy bars would have worked, but I felt granola bars would be fun. The idea is that the bars look like the bricks in a brick breaker. how cute! Since I wasnt really able to find any workshops that were all that immediate interest (and plus for the first week after my last meeting i had bigger fish to fry lowkey), I sorta made my own workshop on the fly lol. We continued 3d modeling from my meeting on day 87. Instead of making a house, we made a car and then made a driveway for our houses, then added the car. Once I got home from my meeting, I got to work on the computer science group project... tommorow I have to get it done because its due, and maybe since its the day its due my teammates will do something!!!!! on my horizons game i spent an hour making a status effect system. Seems to work pretty well with a basic slowness effect.
🚗🎮@minecraftchest21Finnished putting together the main part if my custom keyboard. Just waiting for my m2 screws to come in so the case can get held together by the pcb.

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 😇
🎮🎒@SalticHash0I built a tesla coil kit! It helped me practice sokdering and thankfully worked!
@Kaplin867+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!
📚🎮@zeankun.dev0this was supposed to be an overdrive original game i made back in february, but i decided to continue it anyways. anyways, here I present: Countless Reigns (OBT 1)

⚠️ for mobile users: there are no official mobile ports yet. while you can play it on mobile, it often requires a mouse to be plugged in!
⚠️ you must click the canvas before playing the game, there is a known bug that won't launch the game or hide the intro, will fix it soon
⚠️ this game is _UNFINISHED!_ expect bugs and incomplete features & mechanics. if this bothers you, you may make a PR/issue
feedbacks are welcome (reply this thread pls). thanks, and have fun
🎮🚢🐛@Kaplin867+Day 126 / 365
Hi guys, kaplin here. Today I worked a bit more on my horizons game, adding in a item pickup system and a inventory system. I also went out of my way today to watch some game design videos, because i figure that if i want to become a good game designer, im going to need to learn how to do good game design. I will report back if I find anything thats very good. Who knows maybe I will do game design tips i find everyday alongside my doodles... nevermind thats too much studying. Speaking of my doodles of my main oc pfp guy, my friend is drawing all of our main ocs as EEEVILLLLLL alternate universe variants, and he drew mine today and it looks really good!! oh also cookie run kingdom update came out with time balance department characters, which tbd was my favorite storyline in cookie run ovenbreak so im very happy they are coming to kingdom!!!

125 is such a interesting number. well. maybe important is a more fitting word. I think that 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 are all important numbers, but funnily enough I believe that 12.5, 15, and 17.5 are less important. Tangent aside, today was fairly good! I went to the dentist to get a cavity fixed up. Then I took a nap 😇 I studied a good bit for my psychology since I have a test tommorow. I worked on my horizons project for 1 hour and 45 minutes. In this time I added a simple player ui, a small corner popup system for later, melee enemy ai, pathfinding, and for more technical changes I did some reworking to make enemies and players share an attackable class, which supports an infinite (integer limit) amount of teams. This also meshes nicely with my bullet system, so now bullets can be used for other teams / enemies. rather than the typical 1 character doodle there are two attached for this post. last scrapbook post i accidentally uploaded the wrong image layer so you werent able to see the full thing.

💤🚗🎙️🎨@Kaplin867+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

Today is day 1 2 3!!! easy as a b c!!! yaaaaaay!!! anyways todya was a bit less amazing than yesterday but still pretty good. I got my horizons game to properly show the factory builder ui while in the player view. It even pauses all the physics and movement and enemy stuff too. I made a test zone using a grid map and made some test enemies. The bullets are synced to the factory :)
Shipped my first demo for horizons!! Lowkey a tad bit worried since I have 9 hours tracked, but playing the game, it doesnt FEEL like 9 hours were spent. last thing I want is being suspected for fraud :c A demo link can be found in my personal slack channel, since I dont want the whole world to see this one just yet lol
@GhostYT75820I built Learnify. i vibe coded nearly the entire thing, but i just wanted to learn the ins and outs of stripe for my next project. It is like duolingo, but with ai curriculum for anything you could think of. SAT prep, geometry, music theory, javascript, etc. it's not perfect in any way, but as i said earlier i just wanted to ship something. It’s web only right now because i didn't even think about paying app store fees. It's live at learnify.studio if you want to check it out.
🚢@Kaplin867+Day 122 / 365
Today was amazing! My parents and brother were out of town so i was completely unbothered most of the day!! yay!!! I worked 3 hours on my horizons game. I switched to godot nodes but I got my system to fully work! You can connect, disconnect, delete, and add nodes and it properly adds it. I also found a good way to define nodes using resources. And to top it all off, I also got the actual processing part done, so now I can input an item into the factory layout and get the outputs ! Tommorow I will work on getting a more seamless popup to go to the factory menu while controlling the player character. Might even spend a bit of time trying to format godots graph system to be more stylized.
