Added New Commands!

I added a few more commands to wrap up the project. The bot now features:

• Spacenews - Shows upcoming space launches and events
• Calculator - Evaluates simple math such as 5*32 or 75/3
• Flip - Flips a coin
• Roll - Roll any sided dice, simply type in the number-sided dice that you want
• Trivia - Uses an API and clickable buttons to quiz you on your trivia skills.

First Commands!

Along with the default joke and help commands, I added a new command that shows today’s NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day and the weather!

APOD

• Returns today’s APOD image and the explanation

Weather

• Asks for city input using a modal
• Returns:
  • Current temperature
  • High and low temperature
  • Precipitation and wind information
  • Sunrise and Sunset timings

Worked on my code and finished up the project!

The clock can set alarms, set timers, and pulls data from Open Meteo to display the weather on the screen.
I may add a little more functionality later.

Finished up the CAD Case!

I worked on my case, polishing it, and making it smooth.
In my design, the screen is raised up and at the back of my clock. I also added some text at the front and raised the case up, and added circular legs.

Finished up my PCB for my alarm clock!

It uses 6 switches in a matrix, a buzzer, and the TFT Screen.
It was pretty fun making it, and I plan to add a few more fun silkscreen images on the PCB (so far there’s a squirrel).

Finished the last level!!!

Space Squirrel got himself a spaceship (don’t ask) and has to navigate through asteroids to collect acorns! Use W/Up and S/Down to move up and down to collect the acorns!

I animated the spaceship booster and drew out the asteroids. I’m planning on making the asteroids rotate as they move across the screen.

Next Steps:

• I’m going to make it look a bit cooler, maybe change a few backgrounds.
• Refine some of the code
• Ship it!

Mostly finished working on the Platformer Minigame and the Clicker minigame!

Our amazing Space Squirrel is collecting acorns floating in space!
I am now going to work on the third minigame as well as the title and ending screens.

some more new features!

Wallpaper!

You can now change your wallpaper! With the new settings button you can select a file from your computer and set it as your new background. Additionally, some of the text (such as the time) will switch from black to white based on how bright your background is.

Greetings!

A greeting will appear along with a customizable name. The greeting also changes based on the time of day (ex. good morning, good afternoon…)

To-do!

Added a to-do list to keep track of your daily tasks!
It also has a delete button! Task memory and edit button coming soon!

New Features!

I added a Flight Tracker!!!

Simply put the flight number of the flight you want to track, and you will be able to see the following information:

1. Departure + Arrival City and Airport IATA codes (ex. LAX - Los Angeles)
   • Time since departure and time until arrival
2. Airline that the plane is operating under (ex. Emirates or Southwest)
3. The aircraft model (ex. Boeing 737 MAX 8)
4. Flight status (ex. Landed, en-route)

I used an API to gather data for the flight tracker.

I also added a calendar for general viewing.

I may make this more interactive, but for now it is simply a calendar to help users easily check the calendar.

I worked on my new tab webpage project and added a few features.

I added a Google search bar that searches Google as well as a bookmarks/shortcuts bar underneath.

I also incorporated NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day in a widget in the left corner, you can expand the caption to read the full details about the image.

Additionally, I added a timer in the right corner with a progress bar that decreases as the time runs out.

In the middle of my page, I included a small weather widget that displays the current temperature as well as an icon that represents the current weather.

I kind of forgot to log some of my time, but I added a few more features to EpicOS!

1. New Weather App!! Simply type in the city you want, and the app will show the current temperature, time, wind speed/direction, sunrise/sunset timings, precipitation data, as well as a 7-day forecast.

2. Refreshed note launcher, which can have up to 2 saves (I will probably increase this or make it unlimited later).

3. The calculator has more conversions, such as Lb-Kg, In-Cm, and others.

4. New Settings app that allows you to customize your wallpaper. Currently has 3 different options.

I also did some other minor fixes in the game and throughout the project.

Added a calculator that has conversions as well. Currently, it can convert from Miles to Kilometers and Fahrenheit to Celsius (and vice versa). I also added a simple racing game to the OS where you can set a lap time!

I added a notes app!
The notes app has a launcher that currently allows you to perform three functions. You can create a new document, save that document, and then load the most recent save.

I also added all the planets in my live solar system diagram, and locked the zoom so you don’t zoom out too much and lose the solar system.

I worked on making my OS look a bit better and added an application that shows you the live position of planets in our solar system. It took me a while to find some sort of API that will give the data for it, but I managed to get the inner planets for now!

Worked on the Welcome page. I also added a topbar. Additionally, the window can close and later opened by clicking on “Welcome!”.
