• Added respawn button
• Added buttons to move on mobile
• Fixed sizes not scaling correctly for different screen sizes
• Text autoscales to fit platforms

Try for yourself: Here

Devlog 2 (MOVING PLATFORMS)

• Factorised the home page into a smaller file with 4 helpers scripts for collissions, platforms, the player, and the world.
• Added platforms which move in a circular motion
• Fixed bug where the player would fall off the those platforms
• Switched the platforms that move in circles to take an input of degrees instead of radians in the config table to make it more readable and easily customisable
  NOTE: I’m focusing on creating all the functions for different parts so that building the map becomes easy
• Made it so you can add text labels to platforms

Devlog 1 (PLATFORMER BASICS)

(My first platformer so learning the basics)

• Created a basic web platformer using phaser

• Gave arrow keys control over the player (WASD and mobile don’t work YET)

• Experimented with static platforms

• Created a moving platform

• Added camera following to allow for a platformer world that’s bigger than the screen

• Added custom textures to allow for sprites rather than dynamically created parts/player using Phaser’s built in rectangles, which allowed for the addition of collision groups

Devlog 13 (AI UPDATE)

• Updated sessionShortcuts to use a factory function pattern which allows me to create an object using request as a parameter once, and then access session data easily without having to submit request as a parameter each time. e.g const questionId = sessionShortcuts.getCurrentQuestionId() no request parameter is required.

• Updated AI logic to track what the ai’s suggestion was for each answer and see how that suggestion affected improvement, previously the AI would look at the most recent proposal and credit that the improvement, the new logic tracks the ai’s predicted optimum ratio for each question and tracks improvement individually rather than the last system which would use gross improvement.

Devlog 2

Project Description: Uses a custom made cloudflare worker to return details on limited items in Roblox such as RAP (Recent Average Price) and Demand (How many of the item was sold within a time period compared to other months/weeks).

Changelog:

• Refactored most of the code to use reusable functions so expandability is easier and it’s simpler to edit certain functionality that many scripts use
• Details about UGC Limited items are now displayed correctly

Devlog 1

Project Description: A Roblox game which is used for tracking data on Roblox UGC Limiteds (Similar to stocks) and allows users to use an in-game currency to simulate investing in these items and view how much they could be earning if they made real investments.

Changelog:

• Added an explorer for viewing UGC Limited items
• Added basic UI so tokens can later be added for making the fake investments
• Added a basic frame showing analytics of items
• Added system for retrieving the analytic data using a cloudflare worker I created

Devlog 11

Recap: A revision website that uses AI to adapt to the most effective revision methods, personalised for each user

Changelog:

• States for finding the best combination of question formats are now displayed via ratio format and is updated for every question answered
• Fixed marking logic for GapFill questions which would cause false negatives
• Switched the question topics for more general ones to give a better experience for anyone who wants to try it out

VIEW SITE

NOTE: Questions must be answered multiple times before the ratios can adapt

Devlog 10

Project: AI focused revision website to learn how you learn, and use that to improve revision

Changelog:

• Tested two main AI models, used basic versions of Bayesian Bandits and Reinforcement learning
• Reinforcement learning performed the best and was chosen to be used as the model to learn a user’s preference of question formats (e.g GapFill, MultipleChoice, ShortAnswer)
• Add reward file for converting variables to a 0-1 score so it can be easily interpreted by ai models
• Data for models is saved in session data using express as a temporary fix, I plan to move data including past marks on questions and AI weights to a database further down the line.

Media: Screenshot of the state and proposal of the reinforcement learning model after answering a few questions where only ShortAnswer question formats were answered correctly and the other formats were purposely answered wrong

Devlog 8

Project Aim: Build a revision website that uses machine learning to help students learn new topics even faster

Changelog:

• Users now receive additional feedback which specifies which of the “keywords” in their answers were correct, incorrect or ignored (Due to repetition etc)
• Updated marking logic so a user cannot gain multiple marks for the same marking point (E.g NOT getting 2 marks for saying “4 and four” in response to “2 + 2”)
• Reinforced old logic that had been lost to prevent keywords in an answer being detected as filler words (Such as “and” etc)

Changelog:

• Added the ability to select multiple options at once in multiple choice
• Updated marking logic to be more accurate when marking answers (Like punishing for extra, incorrect answers)
• Fixed some minor ui stuff like centering of feedback text
• Made it easier to add more question formats by giving more control to jsx files managing how different question formats display

TLDR: Added multi-select to multiple choice questions and made the system mark more accurately

Devlog #1

Introduction

For several years I’ve been exploring programming and, more specifically, machine learning. After a miserable attempt where Claude became the main contributor, I have decided to start from scratch and begin making my ai powered revision website.

What is the aim?

Reducing wasted time - Everyone learns differently, the intent is to make a website that can adapt to whoever is using it.

Progress so far (Humble beginnings)

Since the start of June I’ve:

• Polished a simple question prompting and answering system
• Created an easily expandable filtering system which currently uses subjects and topics
• Added sessions to track user data such as current question to create a server authoritative secure system.

Attachments:

• A demo of answering questions with a filter of Subject: General and Topic: Academic
