Made the structure for my personal site! So far, I’m thinking of having four sections, but I don’t know what they are yet 💔. I also added a background and some css btw.

Added a proper GitHub release by making a jar file that is runnable in the terminal. At first, I tried to do this with Gradle, but that didn’t work out, so this way it works! Also edited the ReadMe with steps on how to run in your terminal

I made a simple terminal-based Connect Four game using Java. A lot of things were challenging, but the main challenges I had were figuring out how to check if a match was won horizontally, vertically, or specifically diagonally. There was also the loop logic for the play again feature. Initially, I had two loops, but I then realized only one was necessary. What I'm most proud of is figuring out the logic for the custom boards. If you test out the project, make sure to try out the tic-tac-toe version by making a 3-by-3 board!

Edited the code so it stated whose turn it was, so that it was a little more presentable. Also added a read me and a demo link to the project

Fixed the win logic and added a loop so you can play again. Also edited how things appear in the terminal, since I thought I could make it look better. It still looks simple, but I’m fine with it for now. Happy that it’s working at least! Maybe in the future I will make the computer mode more complicated.

I make a working WebOS based of of the guide given to us. I had lots of fun branching out from the points that were given to us and experimenting with what html, js and css could do. The most challenging part was figuring out how to make my notes app add and remove notes, figuring out how to get my timer working and of course lots of bugs. If you try out my WebOS i hope you make sure to check out the notes app and app and remove notes. Or if you wanna look at my stopwatch see what happens when you reach an hour!
I finally finished all three of my apps! I decided to do the notes app an internet app with buttons and a timer. I think the timer and the notes apps took the longest but they were both fun to make so 😋 This is the last devlog before shipping as well so byee
Hello again :) So, in the second Devlog, I made some more changes…I probably spent way too much time doing this, but I’m really happy with how it’s turning out! When I started the next part of the project, for some reason, after I split up the CSS and JavaScript files, it wouldn’t let me drag the windows around. After spending forever trying to fix it, I finally resorted to asking Copilot 🥲. They said that I was supposed to be using GitHub Pages instead of the extension I found online to view HTML files. So yeah, that was an experience (very long one) but I was finally satisfied because I could move my windows around again! After that, I started making the notes app and kind of got sidetracked from the tutorial 🫠, but it was fun being creative and stuff. I’m not sure if this happens to icons in general when you hover over them, but I made it so when you hover over the apps, it shows a little highlight thing. The tutorial had you make the style for selected icons first, which I was doing, but then when it came to actually making it work (clickable and stuff)… I found another error 😭. At which point, I asked Copilot again for help. I’m actually not sure what I did wrong in the first place, but after moving the functions around, it worked so yay! (I think it was maybe some functions being inside other functions and not being accessible, along with straight-up not loading or something, idk.) Ok, that’s it. Bye, ig
Started the first part of the webOS and made the intro page. Spent a bunch of time fixing a mistake with the fonts since i forgot a colon and added an extra plus sign as one point… yeah I’m not that great at this. This isn’t the most recent photo i also started part 2 but i figured i should post a devlog.

Edited the game logic so it checks if there are 4 pieces in a row or not. Also made some changes to the structure of the game so that it checks inputs correctly and actually says who won. Idk what i did though because it checks if someone won and ends the game but it lets both players go before it does that so im going to fix that next.
Made edits to the schematics and I actually did not know what I was doing despite making the one in the guide but I think i did got it eventually. Still have to do the LEDs though because I decided to add a whole bunch of extra things and that was one of them. I also edited the github readme even though I don’t have any code (understandably) and added a photo
Started for fun, did exactly as the guide said… I’ll personize later and post again later today I think. Kinda bad quality but 🤷
