Devlog #2: Goalpost Animations, Multi-Puzzle Engine & Expanded Social DeckIn this second development update, the primary focus shifted toward deepening interactivity and refining visual feedback across the personalized deck. The football minigame received a full structural overhaul, transitioning from a basic bounce effect to a dedicated goalpost frame complete with net pattern styling. Clicking the ball now triggers a smooth CSS transform animation that shoots the ball directly into the “Top Bin” target before resetting. Additionally, the single chess conundrum was upgraded into a dynamic multi-puzzle system featuring custom navigation controls, allowing users to toggle seamlessly between different tactical scenarios like Smothered Mates, Queen Sacrifices, and Back-Rank Checkmates.On the UI and networking front, several visual polish passes and link integrations were executed. A subtle neon glow text-shadow was applied to the hero header to make the main title stand out against the radial backdrop. The social media grid was expanded with Spotify and Reddit widgets to complete the box layout, and the Duolingo badge was updated with a clean monochrome owl vector icon. To ensure full functionality, all movie posters, web series cards, gaming overlays, and social widgets were wrapped in explicit link structures, ready for exact external URL mapping, along with a lightweight SVG favicon added to the document head.With the core interactive features fully implemented, the next milestone focuses on deployment readiness and optimization. The short-term plan includes conducting thorough cross-device responsiveness testing, verifying touch interactions on mobile viewports, and populating final project links. Following these final refinements, the site will be pushed to GitHub to establish an automated deployment pipeline for live hosting.
