@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.
📈🎮@Akaalroop1You! You're a human right? So you probably don't need this project, but maybe some apps that you built do! I’m Akaalroop and I’ve… never touched or built a backend in my life but I like Rust, so I decided to try it out! I built an API which converts words: like “seven hundred and forty-three” to numbers your app can use, like 743! As you can imagine the logic for doing that isn't too difficult, but it was the API itself that took most of the time. Setting up a parser, receiving requests, returning errors or responses, dealing with incorrect data, etc. All without a single framework or parser library used! And I used no AI either! It was a challenge but I'm proud of myself. So I hope you enjoy v1.0.0 and give it a try!

Hello my silly goobers and other readers whom are not silly nor goober, Today was a good day :) I worked quite a bit on that One Turret recode so now tiles are position rather than direction based for inputs and outputs!! yay!!! Played some games with my friends (in particular i was playing some fungakas since the whole friend group got steam keys for beta testing. go wishlist it please) (not sponsored). Since i made the bad idea of staying up late yesterday i was tired towards the later half of today. I tried to make a new-and-improved hytale video since all the other world gen v2 tutorials are outdated, but I was a bit too tired for that + i need to practice a bit since Its been a long while since ive even touched hytale. for the image today i uh. i drew something. i dont exactly know what this means but i just wanted to have fun with the effects in paint dot net since ive lowkey never played around with it even after using the software for a long while. i suppose the meaning is up to interpretation, like all true art.
🎨@Kaplin867+Day 113 / 365
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!!
@Kaplin867+Day 111 / 365
Wow day 111 thats like 3 of the same number so cool. Anyways today the first thing i was greeted to when I woke up was an offer to make my summer internship thing a flavortown sidequest!! yay!! so since i didnt have anything out of the house today (yay homeschool) I spent alll day on it. And by it, I mean making a simple api for people to use for making multiplayer games since thats the theme of my sidequest. I also made a example project. But since im genuinly an idiot I was having a bit of trouble with getting a dev build to set up, im now making my sidequest stuff without actually being able to see it on the dev build. yaaay. so good. I would ask the person who reached out to me for help, but since they live in a different timezone they are offline. Now if I was an actually smart person I would have done the actual sidequest part done first. but nooo i just had to go straight to my little gizmos, and now im paying the price. Now im making my sidequest stuff at midnight with 1 hour till my its been 24-hours-since-i-was-asked-to-do-this. but hey if gaming has taught me anything, you can only jump to the sky if you start on the ground!!1!
☀️@Kaplin867+Day 104 / 365
I was busy today because of the induction ceremony for honors society at the local community college. My brother got inducted. Now we are both honors society peeps who are way younger then the main demographic via dual enrollment!! yay!! From this i mostly just chilled instead of programming, but my dad gave me an open ai api key so I could do a little test on something. I had an idea on how i would remake a old game of mine, called "data driven detective". The scratch-mod platform it was on no longer supports the ai extension they had so the game is unplayable, so a "data driven detective deluxe" is well due. my first experiment was trying to get 5 ai characters (each based on characters in from friendgroup) into a discussion on who murdered some guy right. I made it fairly obvious who it was in the actual timelines (all except one character has an alibi), and yet after various reruns they are STILL failing to vote the correct individual. Maybe this is what i get for using the smallest model. Might try to add some extra stuff like note-taking or something idk. They are mostly just shrugging off clear conflicts in stories
🎮@DaVinci01. Just creating another app project: WaterCycle! (Yay) A brand new SwiftUI app to measure your water usage through a simple device which uses an ESP32 and a water flow sensor to calculate water flow and how much water is wasted (mentioned the word water too much). It uses a WiFi connection from the ESP32 and has habit and challenges functions to fix your excess water usage, with live data-pulling whenever you want. By the way my soldering iron died :sadge:
@Kaplin867+Day 92 / 365
I woke up really early so I could get started on my homework early. Tommorow I have barely any homework now so I should be able to wipe out the rest of the one turret late april fools update! yay! also the little doodle for my posts going forward will now have a chance to have gray in it rather than black and white, if it helps the drawing. Fun fact i have lost 2 subscribers from my april fools youtube video.
📝@glitch_purge1Hi! I'm working on my second (or first idk) megaproject!
And for some reason I chose to call it egg labs 🐣 (insert skulkest emoji).
Its a free catalogue of tools (™️) for everyone!
Current it has..... drum roll please..... NO FEATURES 💀 (yay!)
Well it has a partially done buggy sign up system that I'm fixing somehow.
Take a look ig (the empty space is overwhelming ik)
Working on the sign up flow and I'm going with a clean UI so yeah ik its not fun, but trust, once I reach dashboard, I'll leave yall with one thing 🥚
🚀@Kaplin867+Day 86 / 365
Its kaplin(86) day!! yay!!!!!! anyways in one of my classes today i was the only one with a presentation finished so i had to present when nobody else was. though it was a pecha kucha (20 slides 20 seconds each) about my game dev journey so it wasnt THAT stressful. Anyways when I got home I finished up that overdose awareness game for my mom. After that I tried to make a utauloid of myself because that sounded funny. though I was having some technical difficulties and sorta gave up when i was pulled away from the computer for dinner. Rest of the day i sorta just felt tired. Sadly didnt do all that much. The hackclub summer internships came in, and i didnt get in. But there will likely be other opportunities, plus i might just host the ysws myself in the summer. also going forward i will be trying to add little doodles of my character guy oc thing every post based on what i wrote, since its day 86
🖋️☀️🎮@Kaplin867+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🎮📝🐛@ingobeans0:yay:do YOU have a project you want to share? create a 722x84 banner for it and upload to <https://hack.irispond.net/|Hackvertisements>!!!!:yay:
Hackvertisements are small banner embeds you can add to your website. every time the page is loaded, it will display a random Hackvertisement submitted by fellow hackclubbers, showcasing off a certified cool project :3
(theres nothing commercial about these, really just a fun way to share your projects!!!)
you can create as many hackvertisements you want for your projects, and you also get to pick a link for the hackvertisement to take people when clicked. you can also edit and delete uploaded hackvertisements, so you can always update them later!!
if you dont feel very creative or dont currently have a project you want to share, go ahead and instead add the hackvertisement embed to your own website!! its a really fun way to show off the hackclub community and make your website more lively :3c: (there is also a leaderboard for the pages that have shown the most hackvertisements)
🚢@seven0Day 52 (or 31)

Did a bug fix for one turret. Figured out how to do the steam announcement stuff thingies, so now theres a steam news post for the changelog. yay! outside of that, I did some homework and also basically finished the chef job datapack bit from last log. Ive been getting a handful of bug reports so i have a lot to fix for tommorow!! Since I dont have any meaningful screenshots today, here is one of my friend's winning one-turret beach map factory loadout. hes the first person EVER to get the beat-the-beach-map steam achievement :D so uh yeah you can copy this if you want lol. have a great day!

• kind of annoyed that I need to upload photos for scrappy to count my post. I'll just be the daily meme guy from now on ig:shrug:
🎂@Kaplin867+Day 41 / 365
Somehow I think I ended up doing less than yesterday?!?!?! Anyways I gave another go at trying to make a progress bar ui in hytale. I started by using the MultipleHUD mod as a dependency so then my mod can co-exist with other mods. Took a while and bug fixing to get working, but I eventually got a label to show up, yay!! how amazing and totally great!! If you couldnt tell, a label is not a progress bar. But rather than making the UI once, it basically makes a new one every tick, so I think tommorow I just need to make it where a colored box element changes in width based on a character stat. I think. we will see.

Today on my aces game I made stuff
yeah thats it bye
jk
I made the board round, physical turn indicator, and the sky changes colors to represent the combined follower colors of the current player. Users now get shown their cards rather than the hardcoded ones i have in the scene. Some cards will now be cancelled if it cant do a specific effect properly (i.e. kill 2 crimson civillians to get amber followers. If there are no more crimson civillians, the card wont run now )
Engrams of chaos got accepted into #C0A8CMWM0CR| for 1 full page! yay!🎮@qwwertyz0Week 1

I also worked on one turret a bit by designing 2 more achievement graphics (technically 4 but i hate one so i will redo it later)
🎮@logabe0Day 50: The final day!
• Nearly finished w/ adding devlogging to Milkyway Pets. All that remains is to make the submit button work :yay-mimi:
• Parent call for Overglade! My parents are mostly okay with my going, which is good because I'm planning to get the ticket within the next ~2 days :hyperfastyay:
• Messaged my friends about meeting up in the new year.
Looking back on this now, the 11th of November seems both so recent, and such a long time ago. While I'd be lying if I said I've changed much as a person, the past 50 days have made me realise that challenges that might seem daunting or even impossible (earning my drivers licence, attending an international Hack Club event) are a lot less scary if you just set your goals and slowly and surely work your way towards them. Day. By. Day.
And of course, having a community that can encourage you and has your back makes a huge difference :)
I'm probably gonna do a proper writeup sometime in the next week, but until then you can find me chipping away at my goals over in #C09PQFWEC8N|. I hope you've all had a great year, and I wish you the very best for the next :salute:
🎟️@Akaalroop1I made a bot which gives you minecraft recipes!
It was a pain generating all the 519 images of crafting recipes, but yeah I did it! :yay:

🎒🎸@revi0programming languages compile down to bytecode, then machine code. its all machine code at the roots, machine code all around
you could say machine code is the final layer, the most basic, the most fundamental thing the computer parses
but what if you took a different approach?
PARAMATH!! the language that compiles NOT TO MACHINE CODE, but to MATH!! it uses math to approximate binary logic, which means now (at least in theory) you can run code on a scientific calculator!!
like everything i make, its a proof of concept, and this is my most recent and most proudest brainchild of all!
the github repo is github.com/kaemori/paramath, dont look too close :3c🚢@jollyroger1820[41/50] today (or rather yesterday ig) i did:
