Devlog #2

Hello everyone,
Welcome to Devlog #2 of Starmap Generator.
Hope you all are doing great.

Okay, now let me explain quickly of my recent changes or update on the site.

I am not sure but maybe this will be a bit shorter devlog, maybeeee…. since I’m trying not to bore anyone reading this, but I really want to keep these devlogs raw and unfiltered.
Okay now lemme explain.

Constellations & Core Features
Sooo, the big news is that today I finally finished all the basic functions.

The generator now does exactly what every proper starmap is supposed to do.

And the coolest part? Constellations are officially working.

The stars actually connect and form patterns now, just like a real night sky.

How did I do it?
If you ask how I managed to pull this off so fast, then ummm…

To be honest, I did a massive deep dive into the documentation, and I also used AI to help me figure out the math and logic behind the star positioning.

I’m not gonna lie, combining AI with reading documentation saved a lot of time here because I am still a bit limited by my current knowledge.
But it works now.

Moving to HTML (The Web Site)
Currently, I have already started working on the HTML side of things because I want to implement this whole generator into an actual website.

Right now, it looks super basic and has almost no CSS, so it is pretty ugly.

But don’t worry, as soon as I finish setting up the web structure, I will fix the design and make it look clean. The goal is to make it so anyone can just open their browser and generate their own starmap.

Oh…
The devlog doesn’t seem that small anymore. I’m sorry for that.

I guess that’s it for this devlog. My 10-hour clock is still ticking, but the foundation is officially ready.

If you didn’t understand any of the points, please do comment and I will try to explain it to you there.

Thank You all so much for reading.

Have a nice day.
