@Marinho

I added a mini 3D version of myself! It took me almost 2 hours of modeling, but I’m very happy with how it turned out. For anyone wondering, I used Blockbench (it sucks when it comes to texturing, I spent a lot of time redoing it).

I added the first hardware project to the page, I choose to use a different layout for this page cuz when we talk about hardware its very hard to someone to test it out so you have to write more about it than u do on software projects(where u can even put a “give it a try” link)

NEWs

• Added a full new minigame called board driving

Changes

• SFX bugs were fixed(hopefully)

Troubles

• Actually none(weird)

In depth
The new minigame was pretty simple to code, there is a node with a code that spaw the cars prefabs after a node timer hits zero, the car prefab is just the math for set it’s velocity and going down and the skate board is a simple area 2D that checks if the player hit something(AKA car) and plays the sfx and shows the explosion sprite.

I fixed most of the performance issues. How? I just convert the images to webp and added lazy loading to the page, also I discorvered that when I go to the PageSpeed Insights from google it gives the site a low performance status (problably) because github pages dont have image compression and other nerd performance things

The image below is a screen shot of the same test from google but running the local index.html file

For this devlog I didnt add anything new I just fixed some bugs and change some minigames after reading the feedbacks

Fixs

• Capped the mosquito speed after it gets higher then 2000
• Adjusted the unclog toilet minigame dificult to better match the players actual skill level

Changes

• Changed the bomb minigame logic where now it spawns more bombs as you go trhough levels

Wanna add

• 3 new minigames

That’s it for now

Changes

• Changed the images of hardware and software buttons

Workin on

• Currently working on the hardware project page(yeah the same thing of the preview devlog cuz I got excited to make the spotify integration)

Wanna add

• A function to the dice cuz rn it just spins(I didnt think of anything for it so feel free to suggest anything)

Struggles

• I had some error while trying to get the lanyard API to work cuz I did not know I had to be on the server(I kinda dumb as u can see lmao)

Changes

• Changed the projects section to subpages, so now you can choose to see software or hardware projects.
• Changed the background color to full black
• Changed the profile picture

Workin on

• Currently working on the hardware project page

Wanna add

• A spotfy section to show what I currently listen to
• A function to the dice cuz rn it just spins

Struggles

• I have some troubles with the delploy, after I deployd the new version on github pages I went to see if all was workin but the site didnt updeted(on my browser cause for some reason Brave dont update the cache lol) I was going crazy for like 15m

News

• a male and female system so now zezzits have genders(men = square, women = triangle
• a way to add and remove food(by right clicking somewhere in the screen)
• Hover above a zezzit to see its info

Fixs

• A bug where the drink animation would not be played
• Visual bugs in general

I added a awards section to show some of my achievements, overall the project is basically a portifolio for me rn ngl, I really want to do some more interactable things but its kinda hard lol

I solved some bugs like they going back and forth on the bushes and not finding food.

Added:
-Lakes(now they need to drink to survive)
-Energy(Moving faster will make them need food sooner)

I create the basics like the needing of food, reproductive system and genetics passed away(doing the post on my phone so no photos for now😭)

I’m working on making this UI less boring, but I’m fresh out of ideas. I’d appreciate any concrete design tweaks to make it less boring LOL

Chosen Design

After careful consideration, I chose the aggressive vertical front spinner as my final design. I have moderate to extensive experience in Onshape, so i used that to begin designing. Before beginning to design, i found STEP files for N20 motors and used the dimensions from my planning stage to place in the electronic components. Then i began with a roughly shaped sketch of the design, which i extruded to the desired length. Then I shelled it out with a 2mm wall to allow space for the electronics.

Weapon design

My weapon blade design is based off James KIrby’s D.E.S blade. The weapon support struts are extremely thick as many bots have lost their weapons due to broken struts. The weapon uses a BE1806 motor and a 20Ah ESC to drive it. The weapon unfortunately was not big enough to house the motor, so adjustments had to be made to allow a larger weapon.

Feedback and Re-iteration

An extremely helpful individual from the university provided me extensive feedback upon the design, which significantly improved my design and allowed my robot to remain under the weight category. Thank you!

Specific Design modifications through feedback;

• Changed Malenki nano orientation to vertical just behind weapon
• Allowed the wheels to protrude slighly from the back so the bot doesnt get stuck on its back
• Smaller chassis for lesser weight (Removed unecessary space)
• Added Mounts for screw switch and LED

If you made it this far, thank you for reading! If you have any suggestions for my bot, I’m always willing to improve, so please tell me in the comments below. Thanks!

Final Design is attached below along with a wiring diagram (It should be unless theres something else to fix)

P.s there’s a cover on the bot, i just dont have it visible in the renders

Just updated the projects section

News:
-A brand new minigame where you have to smash your mouse button as much as you can
-A volume settings so your hears dont explode while playing

I didn’t record but I already desing the PCB and 3D parts and now Im done with the firmware, the plan is to make a way to change what each key does by turning the knob to “change mode”
