@Kaplin867+Day 165 / 365
Today was good! I worked a lot on my brickbreaker club ysws. By that i mean i made a better example project. I updated the original project i used to even propose the workshop (the game is called autumn breakout but uh you wont find it on my itch since its unlisted). I added some new features, but i made sure to add each feature in its own branch before moving it into one combined main branch, that way if someone wanted to learn how to implement XYZ they could see it without any distractions to other things!!! :D Anyways the features are: Main menu, multiple levels, sturdy and glass bricks, and sound effects. But given how easy I found it to add each of those, I think im going to hold off on making a tutorial for those. Better to learn naturally, no? also i suck at this game, even though its just a simple brickbreaker. (meme attached drawn by my friend night emerald. long story short its a tadc reference when we were watching an episode and the steam popup for me playing one turret showed up, to say "maybe your genuinly bad at one turret", and now whenever i suck at a game he puts new text) anyways outside of that, I played a good bit of noita. I had two really good runs. The first one, I died when I got to the holy mountain right before the underground jungle. One of the enemies on that area can apparently tunnel through walls??? so they went up, tunneled into the holy mountain, angered the gods by doing so, and got the cop enemy guy to show up and kill me instantly. Love this game. And for the second run i actually got to the boss! First run i was able to do that. But i didnt get that far into beating them, only getting them to 90% but im still really happy i got that far!!!
🎮@hello.adityano1Hey everyone! 👋
For the past few months, I've been building AXIOM, an AI-native workspace designed around the idea that working with AI should feel less like chatting and more like collaborating.
Instead of living inside a single chat window, AXIOM combines conversations, visual thinking, coding, tasks, files, browser interactions, and autonomous workflows into one connected environment. One of the core ideas is Space — a visual workspace where thoughts, notes, plans, tasks, agents, and project context can all come together and evolve as work happens.
I'm currently preparing the first public release, which is planned for Tuesday, 16/06/2026.
The repository already exists, but it's private for now while I finish the remaining work and polish things up. It will be made public on launch day:
GitHub: github.com/fireboltmagnum/AXIOM
There's still a lot to build.
Would love to hear thoughts, suggestions, feature ideas, or things you'd want to see in a tool like this.
🚀@Kaplin867+Day 163 / 365
Hello everybody, kaplin here, back with another scrapbook post. Today. I uh. existed :) woke up early, did my chores and summer schoolwork, played some noita, and got good progress on 2 projects. Project 1 being my club ysws site. I added a small gallery section. Also added the hackclub flag to the corner like all of the club ysws sites. I think I only really have to just figure out the numbers now!! and also run through the tutorial to make sure its all good, alongside maybe even making some miniguides to help with specific features? Idk. Might just make a total one with all the features in the mini guides. Idk. Project 2 of today was the recode of my game One Turret (available on steam btw go wishlist it or buy it) (dont buy it yet its not really good right now. this next update is all about making the game better rather than new content). I got the decors to load! I suppose i will explain how one turret does its maps. You feed it a tileset and then you can place the tiles and all that. You can rotate these tiles and also edit them to be not-placable-on for gameplay. You can also add full images called decor as decoration for maps. These are handled differently, since its one big image for one tile, rather than a normal tilesheet. anyways its now loaded with the new resource-based system (compared to the old .zip based)!!! So in totality, i think that the map loading is done. Next is the enemy manager!!!
🎮☀️@Kaplin867+Day 158 / 365
Today was fun, since I went to the movies. But not for any normal movie, no, i watched The Amazing digital circus final episode premiere :D i like the episode it was good. im not going to spoil it dont worry. but it was like really cool since it was the first time ive: 1. driven that far alone, 2. gone to the movies alone. Very interesting. And i also went to dennys after :D and then once i got home i uh. played a lot of noita, and coded a bit on one turret, just for half of it to be conflicting with a version i forgot to commit on the upstairs studio pc when i was watching the dogs last time up there. oh well. in particular, im working on getting it so the tileset is FULLY procedural in the one turret recode. its functionally the same as modding. I think its a good way to approach designing a game, to make it as if your modding the game. A game i used to mod a bit, called dysnced, had a similar mentality. like. the vanilla gameplay WAS a mod. you could disable it if you wanted to. idk. i like good design like that.
📽️🎮@Kaplin867+Day 157 / 365
Cant say particularly was my day. I woke up at 3 in the morning from a stomach ache (ate too much sugar yesterday), but my go to whenever that happens is just using the restroom, drinking water, then eating cheese for some reason. then i went to bed and woke up relatively fine!!! Then i woke up at 6 for some reason (i think its cuz my brother and mom left for his swim thing). took a shower. went back to sleep again. and then after that whole mess i woke up at 12, and like an hour after I woke up i had to drive me, my dad, my brother, and my brother's friend to the mall. It was fun i guess. We didnt buy anything lol. Except some boba, so i guess that was good! idk a lot of guessing here.... Anywhom, we got lunch, dropped off the friend, and then went home. Then i proceeded to be fairly unproductive. Not even playing games, just watching youtube. I got to a point where i just sorta like forced myself to work on the study app for horizons. So i got a hour in on that, making it so you can now go backwards in the ui (like back to the main screen) and allowing you to edit the bindings on a quiz. So uh yeah. I tried to buy my ceiling plush from the ceiling ysws, and had a jumpscare when after i bought it, the actual amount on the grant didnt go down, but my bank account didnt go down either. Turns out amazon only asks for the money right before it gets shipped?? idk. hopefully im right on that. I also tried to buy a movie ticket using my grant from haxmas, but since it wasnt enough i had to turn it into a reimbursement... And i literally couldnt use the reimbursement on hcb since it kept leading to a "page not found" page when i hit submit. So I emailed the hcb email and in the email i had mailed them about the issue. so that was a fun chaotic experience, but all the things today made me feel pretty down. On days when i feel down from stuff like this, I get in my head a lot, but heres my advice in the case YOU are in your head right now for whatever reason: Do Not Falter To Adversity, Because Faltering To Adversity Will Make You Give Up and Giving Up Causes More Adversity Than You Started With
💤🎟️📚📽️@PixelSaver-U0498TGUX0B0Officially Day 157
Personally day 20!!
WOOO Milestones!!!
Anyway I saw a lot of really cool animations online revolving around music, and I'm going to see what I can do with Godot as a result! I just learned how to do multimes so >:D I have a lot of devious plans for audio visualization
This one is the rings version for now
Anyway, Coming back from a coding slump I plan to put some time into #C0AKAQN2VJQ and #C0AGKQ6K476 for the cmf buds and the logitech mx master 3s respectively 😄 I have to think about what to make for horizons though..
Ideas / music recommendations welcome! dms or thread, no matter@Kaplin867+Day 154 / 365
Today I started work on my club ysws site aint that cool. yippee! i lowkey didnt get a lot of progress on it since it was lowkey late. in the morning i was doing a mix of sleeping in and working on the jobs+ minecraft modded datapack thingamajig for the group server project i yapped about many posts ago (still happening, we are actually getting close to opening the server i think hopefully idk). I cant say too much about today lol. uh. dont do illegal things. thats my advice of the day 😇
@Kaplin867+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.
@Josh-U0ALNQXG9R60giving 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 ...
🧠@Hanako0Day 152/365: (more of a general update than a daily post)
Updates from last post:
• 80 days without an update is kinda crazy...
• In Europe now for summer vacation. Was in Sweden for a week, now going to be in Greece for the next month.
• The Macroepad has been fully soldered, but I wasn't able to get the firmware working. As I didn't bring the Macroepad to Europe, I won't be able to work on that until I'm back home in August. The case also ended up being badly measured and the Macroepad doesn't quite fit, but I can fix that just by cutting off the top ledge over the hole for the USB-C cable (shown in picture)
• Haven't worked on the rp2040 project in ages. I think I'll still finish it eventually if just for the practice with pcb design, but it's a low priority as of now.
• Have a new laptop now! It's my first device running Linux (Ubuntu), and I'm definitely liking the OS so far, though I haven't learned how to do much on it yet.
• Fully caught up with JJBA anime, it may have peaked in part 2, but the rest was still great. I'm not going to read the manga until Steel Ball Run finishes airing.
Goals for June:
• Make a game for snake ysws.
• PLAY SILKSONG - I haven't touched this game since January and I need to finish it so bad
• Practice animating (will have to get a new drawing software since Krita does not like my stylus)
• Get OpenUTAU and practice UTAU tuning
• Maybe also work on general music composition, we'll see how much free time I end up having
🎮📷☀️@Kaplin867+Day 152 / 365
Today wasnt bad, but i was out of the house most of the day. I had to drive my dad to a medical appointment, and also brought me, my brother, and my dad to get haircuts. Now i feel refreshed :) Though it did hurt a bit since for some reason one of the razors caused bleeding? i dunno. even the stylist was a bit confused, since she had used that same razor before on me. oh well. she applied some stuff on it, and as of writing it no longer hurts. In the little bit i coded for one turret, I got the multi-tile tiles to work properly processing wise. So the furnace building works fully. Hopefully tommorow I can be a bit more productive lol. I have a sneaking suspicion. wink wink nudge nudge.
on a side note, after dinner (which was also out of the house), i tried to get some ingredients to make some DIY ferrero rocher. Had to replace the hazlenut with pecans since they didnt have any at the store. and i didnt want to spend 15 bucks on maple syrup im going to use one time, so i replaced that with honey. so uh. wise words: Do not eat the pecan + honey + cocoa powder + vanilla mixture. tasted horrendous imo. I think it might have been the cocoa powder maybe.
@Kaplin867+Day 149 / 365
Today was... somehow more unproductive than yesterday!! >:C But it was a generally fun day even though I didnt play that many games. I worked 20 minutes on my horizons quiz game project thing, adding in some cool preview images for each of the gamemodes. I also got "deleting" datasets to work. In reality it just changes it so it hides the quiz. If you attempt to add a new quiz using the same csv, it will just toggle it back to being visible, that way all the configs for that quiz are still saved! Rest of my day was spent out of the house with my dad and brother. I dropped my brother of at swim and ended up just having a bonding moment with my dad at the closest mall. Its a generally unoccupied mall. not a lot of buisness happens there (in terms of the internal mall stuff. the clothes stores and resturants on the outside of it do get a lot of buisness though). me and my dad walked through and had a chat, even walking into a craft store. didnt buy anything but still chatted. We also got some handsoaps that we thought my mom would like :) We got two of a vanilla almond one. One for me. Because I liked it. :yay: i love vanilla smelling things. and cinnamon! anyways after that me, my brother, and my dad went to applebees. im mentioning this because thats like a once-in-a-blue-moon-during-a-solar-eclipse thing and its lowkenuinly been like 3 years. when we got home it turns out my mom had recently gotten hand soaps. so now we just have 15 things of hand soap. please help. 5 hand soaps per sink including the kitchen😭
and on my horizons stuff. I think ive ultimately come to the conclusion that im NOT going to be going to nexus for various reasons. One of the reasons is the hours required. Especially given hackclub stardance is happening soon. I plan to be starting a thing with my club to get them into stardance so they can make some stuff. Also that club ysws, and other stuff. Im going to be getting a lot busier soon so im less confident in getting the hours. other reason is I dont think i really want to go anymore. Dont get me wrong it sounds fun but like. is it really worth all the hours? I mean I definently think I had great memories at hackclub shiba, but that was a whole week. nexus, last i checked, is a nonstop hackathon over a weekend. So yeah uh. i think im going to cash my hours and possibly move my study app to a different program (i hear macondo has a lot of good prize options). If i were to ship my moved aces project as is, i would most likely get 2 steam game grants (for publishing a game on steam) and 4 blahaj plushies :)
🎮🚢📚@Kaplin867+Day 147 / 365
Today was a nice productive day! I woke up earlier than usual so I could get to working on stuff :) I coded for 5 hours on my horizons study app project. I made the flashcard, memory match, and spelling modes for the game (er i guess its an app but like whats the difference LOL!!!). I also got the mastery tracker working (in quiz and flashcard, if you get a question right or wrong it stores that with the quiz. the mastery just refers the average of the past two attempts on each question). I also did some hardcore cleaning in my room. so yeah overall incredibly productive!!! I think tommorow I might try to make another hytale youtube video since recently hytale updated to update 5 and it added a ez command that cuts 4 minutes off of my old tutorial. plus that old tutorial is outdated anyways.
Also yes. the spelling thing is a slight reference to a different game.
📚🎮@glitch_purge0Back 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.
🎮📚@Kaplin867+Day 146 / 365
Today was fairly average. I woke up to do some summer class homework, then played lol. I think theres a issue with the course since one of the questions in the lab assignment thingamajig, one that had unlimited answers, has the incorrect answer. Ive tried what i think is the correct number, and all numbers around it. Still incorrect. oh well. In my current pokemon infinite fusion playthrough (that ive been playing for like a week now, great fangame), i did a certain sidequest to get a certain pretty pink mythical pokemon 😇!! Today I also had some yummy dinner with family friend whos in town. After it me and my brother walked in the (very light) rain downtown to go get some boba.. but the boba shop was closed for some reason so we had to walk all the way back to the resturant. I also did some thinking about it and looking at some stuff in the horizons channel. Im fairly certain i can get my grants after the event, so I would be fine to go to nexus. Tommorow I want to lock in. like REALLY lock in. so im going to try and wake up really early. probably going to regret it but trust it will work!! trust!!

Hi guys. Kaplin here!! Today was a very nice and chill day :) I did some concepting for a game idea that me and my friend group might try making. basically its a not-so-cozy farming game where theres a bunch of procedural plants. these plants have attributes (like spiky, glowing, explosive, etc.) that determine a lot of stuff. But also the plants dont have names, so you have to put your own name for each species in your logbook. You also have to experiment to find certain traits in a plant. You could also use a camera item to add photos of the plant to a book. I also played plenty of games today so thats not out of the ordinary. I didnt work on any of my horizons projects... and lowkey im wondering if i even want to go to horizons to begin with. I also have to ask about the flight grant stuff, and if I can get those after and still have a proper reimbursement. My parents are also worried since the venue really isnt public. Which is good, I dont think it should be public, but they are worried about me going if it looks like hackclub hasnt havent figured it out yet themselves.
🎮@Kaplin867+Day 142 / 365
Today was nice. Rather then adding the games / quiz to my horizons quiz project thing I wanted to try getting a theme loader to work. Idk. I just felt like doing that. I think it was mostly because I havent really ever used the theme system before. Since this project is my chance to really master godot control nodes, themes would be a perfect thing to finally use in it. I made a few themes, and even got custom properties in the theme to work. It automatically applys the theme whenever a new scene is loaded (or when the current theme variable is changed)
Also, Im going to a cybersecurity capture the flag hackathon tommorow thats happening near me. I know nothing about cyber security and did not attend a single one of their pre-event workshops (for the record, I only knew i was actually able to go yesterday). My only CTF cybersecurity knowledge comes from a summer camp i did like... 4 years ago maybe. am I cooked?
☀️@Kaplin867+Day 141 / 365
I didnt lock in that much today. Tommorow will be my day, trust!! No like i know it for a fact, I need to wake up early for some stuff. Anyways today I coded for a lil over an hour. I made it so my quiz app thing can fully load new csv files, index that into godot resources, and save those godot resources + bindings to a user folder. You can then select all the added datasets. Next I need to just add the different games you can do with the imported data. Also rained a LOT today. We havent had rain in a minute, but the downpour was insane. And update on the horizons event im going to, im probably just going to go to nexus since my friend no longer wants to go to berlin with me (they want to go to the macando hackathon instead, which is in colombia i think)

@Kaplin867+Day 136 / 365
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.
✏️🎮@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 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 😇
🎮🎒@Kaplin867+Day 125 / 365
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.
📚@j7jhj0I'm in the process of transitioning from Godot to Unity. I'm having trouble with the mixels since I don't really know how to scale overlay with world space but for now, I think it's okay.
🚀@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 121 / 365
Today was great! Me and a friend of mine played the Create: Aeronautics addon for the create mod for minecraft (i love mods of mods!!) and we goofed off a lot lol. Worked a bit on my horizons game by starting to work on the factory node system. Its very unpolished, but I think it might do the trick. Tommorow I will try to add not-hardcoded-node-connecting and actually processing the factory nodes for immediate input -> outputs.
🎮@Kaplin867+Day 118 / 365
Today i had a dentist appointment : ) luckily it was just like a normal check up and cleaning so no procedures. They did find a cavity though so I will have to go back soon 😭 i gotta start flossing better. anywhom for the actual work today, I didnt really do a lot lol. Both on schoolwork and on projects. I mostly was just hanging out with (online) friends for most of the day. I did work an hour on my horizons project, and added some simple shooting (it just summons a node that moves in one direction). I also tried to fix up some visual issues with the shader, but none of my solutions worked, so i will have to think on it. I also got rejected my hackclub star dance ambassador thing because there were just too many people for my area (which is shocking, i didnt know there were that many hack clubbers near me). tommorow will be my lock in day trust!!
@Kaplin867+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.

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.
@Kaplin867+Day 115 / 365
Today was very nice! I had a hackclub meeting! feels refreshing given my last one was 28 DAYS AGO 😭 anyways we held my custom workshop stuff (that i did through #C0AE5L0N70Q go check it out if your a club leader) and we did go over the time by an hour like always. It was fine, since this time the library was fully booked (and has barely any availability for the summer), so we actually just held it at a church instead. My 2 hackclub members, both of whom are brothers if your curious, go to this church and their family is like a core member of that community or something like that. either way we were able to use the empty building for the meeting. it went really good! everyone was able to turn in a brick breaker game in 3 hours. Even my brother joined in, which is rare. I think the reason it took 3 instead of 2 was because I gave a lot of indepth information about godot and such. After that I went bowling! and I did all this while wearing one of my favorite shirts, my kirby gradient shirt thing (check attached image) so overall good day :)

Today was something. Since my dad is now getting sick (guess the whole family is getting it huh) we didnt go to tutor at the local church so personally I find that a W. I mean dont get me wrong, it feels good to help people, but its just really tiring and the kids we tutor arent very nice. like at all. anywhom, in this extra time, me and my brother were going to go to a honors society meeting thing, but turns out the community college was holding a spring event with a bunch of different booths in the courtyard. Because of this they didnt actually hold a meeting, but we did get some free shaved ice. yay! Anywhom outside of personal life stuff, I worked a bit on one turret and started implementing the changes I mentioned on day 110. Now it uses a different format that basically dissolves the idea of "directional inputs and outputs" and is now "grid location inputs and outputs", which doesnt change much YET but when I add something like catapults it will be very useful lol. Anyways my flavortown sidequest wont be happening, but it isnt cancelled. Instead, it will be something else now. But im not going to say what happened to it yet LOLL bababhahmam im so EVVILL RAAHHHH anyways given the whole "transparency values" in hackclub you could probably find what its going to end up being lol. I am kaplin86, and this was day 113, april 23 2026. Thank you for reading. also i think i need more hour of sleep why are half my posts about personal life instead of projects
💤@Kaplin867+Day 112 / 365
Nothing too crazy happened today. After my classes I finished that flavortown sidequest stuff yesterday. yay. Then I really just chilled. I wasnt really in that coding mode yknow? I think im getting sick again. I just got finished with my last sickness😭 Anyways, thank you for reading and I hope you had and will continue having good days!!
@revi0okay but what if i revived this on day 112?

🎒❤️@Kaplin867+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
🎮@Kaplin867+Day 107 / 365
Today, like yesterday, I played a lot of tomodachi life living the dream. Though the game isnt really all that intended to be played in long sessions and its starting to show 😭 anywhom a friend of mine recently ported his team-based (think pvz garden warfare) pvp game to steam server system and he gave me a key to test. Its really fun, and very customizable! go check it out its called "fungakas" on steam and wishlist (not sponsored i just genuinly think its a good game). But yeah no real project work. I did do my homework though because im a very good bright young scholar!!
🎮@Kaplin867+Day 106 / 365
I did barely anything project-wise today because I spent ALL my freetime playing tomodachi life: living the dream, which dropped today. ITS SO GOOD!! my type of humor. plus im a HUGE sucker for customizable media. Like a key memory i have is when a roblox game (bubble gum simulator i think) had a feature where you could by a balloon, but you could also freely choose the color, and young me was ecstatic about that. anyways, great game, and its been a long time since ive spent this much time on a console in one day. attached are a few images from the game lol. I REALLY wish they allowed you to export screenshots from this game, but honestly it makes sense why they disabled it.
🎮@Kaplin867+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.
@restaurantEntity0Day 97/365oh fuck what month is itTasks I made progress on:
• obsidian vault
◦ started learning rust! what does that have to do with obsidian! it's the first time it's being properly used! :yayayayayay: so
▪︎ changed and fixed a bunch of templates
▪︎ wrote a bunch of notes
▪︎ noted down some issues I'd like to fix
• learning rust

I think I've been overwhelmed by how cool and structured my friends' projects have been (y'all are so cool I could never :hs:), and forced myself to maintain that standard, which is why I burned out/got frustrated. I'll try learning and building using a slower approach that lets me learn all the fundamentals (I keep saying slower approach but you get what I mean I think)
Anyways... it's been a whole month! and some change. I've mostly been struggling to plan out bigger and better projects, and I think I need to step back and work on my toolchain for a bit. I started learning rust! yippee!
I also spent half of last month watching One Piece, and the other half playing minecraft (regular survival and Liminal Industries) so hopefully I don't do that again

Today was not that bad :)
Had to wake up pretty early for a dentist appointment. When I got home I played a bit of ultrakill then got to doing homework early. I also worked on the one turret april fools! I wont spoil much, but I dont think im going to be able to get it out on the deadline :pf: oh well whatever its fine. better than last april fools where i just replaced every item texture with wood. that was lame. this one will be way funnier. Funnily enough this is my first time properly using branches in github... which probably isnt a good sign. anyways that group project i mentioned about yesterday went good. Slightly close call of submitting it 1 hour before deadline. Oh well!

📚@Kaplin867+Day 87 / 365
Today I had a hackclub meeting! I uh sorta had to wing it again since i didnt have any material planned, so I followed this cute village tutorial on jams.hackclub.com with my club. It actually turned out really good! Though another thing was for some reason the library was double booked and had a big lego event happening in the room i had scheduled, so my club got moved to the library's giant auditorium! wasnt the best since it made it harder to move to my members to help them. I also played around with hytale world gen today. i think i figured out rivers, and its painfully simple (subtracting a constant number from the density lowers it a few blocks, so i just do that to apply the river physically using noise, then fill it by replacing air in a certain density with water). Only issue is that it is far from realistic, but it might make a good tutorial later. infact i should probably redo my hytale tutorials since a handful of things have changed.
@Kaplin867+Day 79 / 365
Today I worked more on that website!!! made it look a bit better! I think this is the best im getting it to though. Ive been looking at some of the other sites people are submitting, which are really cool! So odds probably arent in my favor but im hoping anyways!
@Kaplin867+Day 78 / 365
locked in on that website for the 2026 hackclub summer internship submission, and I think by tommorow I can finish it off lol. only issue is I dont know if a dino.icu domain is required. Im seeing that a lot of the people submitting having their sites with that domain. i uh. do not know how to get a dino.icu domain. glup. anyways i dont have much to mention outside of that.
🦕@Kaplin867+Day 77 / 365
Today I worked a bit on that website, but ultimately didnt get much done. lazy kaplin!! On the ysws site I tried to make an effect that looks like the party screen for a multiplayer game (like fallguys or fortnite), but i dont think its quite there just yet. had some fun playing games with friends tho!!!! image attatched is my decent website and an image of my run at hardmode valley-of-death in hit game aven colony (i randomly remembered i had this game) (also sorry to my scrapbook viewers that so many days were untracked lol. slight recap: I made a brick breaker in a hour then made slides for a club workshop for that. I made and nearly finished a game for ceiling ysws. also toured some colleges)
