I Finished My Space Shuttle!

---

‎

This has taken me so many hours and I’m very happy with the result

---

‎

What I did in the past 4 hours:

‎

• I started and completed the large support that connects the body of the shuttle to the external tanks.
  I had to cut into the external tank and I used multiple tools to add realism like the extrude tool.
  After that, I created cylinder supports that i then connected using the transform and extrude tools.
  ‎
• I started and completed the small support that connected the nose of the shuttle to the external tanks. I had to use many transform tools to make the correct shape but eventually I shaped it correctly.
  ‎
• I added a liquid oxygen fuel line to the large external tank and connected it to the system tunnel with many supports. I mostly used the extrude tool for this step. This took the most time to complete in the 4 hours since my last devlog.

Thanks for the support on this project! I will likely do a space station for my next project.

---

‎

I will probably ship this project tomorrow, and then it should be available for printing! I tried to design the shuttle for multicolor printing so you should be able to choose multiple colors. There should be a total of 3 different colors since I wanted to limit the amount of filament colors for printing.

‎
If you still have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments!

I’m done!, I finished coloring the plane I have all the wings and cockpit windows this was very fun thank you for the support I hope you like this one, one of the first onshape projects I’ve done!! I will make more projects so stay tuned.

I’m Done The Front Of My Space Shuttle!

---

‎
This Has Taken A Lot Of Hours But I Am Happy With This Iteration
‎

---

‎
I was able to add:
‎
‎

• Much More Realism To The Front Of The Rocket Like Realistic Colors
  ‎
• Added Some More Small Components Onto The Front Of The Rocket
  ‎
• Added The Flight Deck Window To The Rocket
  ‎
• Added More Material To The Middle Of The Rocket To Make The Base More Curved And Realistic (This Took The Longest Since I needed To Smooth It Out Realistically And It Took Forever To Find The Solution To Round It Perfectly)
  ‎

---

‎
What I Still Need To Work On:
‎

• I Still Need To Add Realistic Angle To The OMS Pods
  ‎
• I also ‎Need To Attach The OMS Pods To The Rocket, Which Includes Reshaping Them To The Right Dimensions
  ‎
• I Need To Move The Body Of The Rocket Further Down Into The Rocket Boosters Since Right Now There Is A Gap
  ‎
• I Have To Smooth Out The Enclosure Surrounding The Main Engines
  ‎
• I Will Try And Fix The Connection Point On The Rocket To The Main Tanks (They Are Hidden In This Image)
  ‎

  ‎
  I’m Estimating This Will Take 9 Hours To Complete. If You Have Any Suggestions To Improve This Model, Feel Free To Share Them In The Comments!

Almost done the front of my rocket!

---

‎
After 3 Hours, I Was Able To Troubleshoot Many Errors and Finally I Was Able to Make The Front Of My Rocket Much More Realistic.

---

‎
I was finally able to add:
‎
‎

• A realistic, smooth shape of the rocket that resulted in boosted realism
  ‎
• A more round shape to the body of the rocket- Realistic features of the rocket’s nose
  ‎

---

‎
I also removed the sharp edges on the front of the rocket that ruined the rocket’s overall image.
‎

---

My next goals:
‎
‎

• Working on the bottom of the rocket to add realistic color for AMS printing
  ‎
• Smoothing out the transition between the body and the engines (Right now they are really messed up and look terrible)
  ‎
• Adding realistic connections where the rocket attaches to the external tank (The tank is hidden in this image)

---

I was able to make the rocket look so much more realistic (Look at my other devlogs to see the before and after) and I’m so happy about how it turned out so far!
‎

‎
So far, I have made amazing progress on this ambitious project and I can’t wait to finish this off.

CSS Parsing!

‎
I got CSS working! I was able to get my CSS parser working on the engine and parse properly. This wasn’t as easy as I thought, as my first attempt worked but was dreadfully slow (10+ seconds), so a lot of the time went into rewrites and optimizations, bringing it from 10+ to about 2 seconds for huge CSS (1000+ lines of CSS)!

Code / Project

‎
You can check out the code here:
https://github.com/k754a/C-Plus-Plus-Web-Engine
‎
And try a older version of it:
https://k754a.hackclub.app/
‎
‎
‎
Video below shows it loading the hackclub website!

Today, I got a bunch of colors working!
‎
The browser engine can now render different colored backgrounds, texts, and highlights!
‎
This actually wasn’t too bad, as the hardest part was just fixing all the bugs from CSS being such a bad language, but overall it turned out awesome!

Links, and better rendering!

‎
Today I got links, and rendering improved rendering! Words now render together, rather than making a new line each time. I also got links, and that allows you to browse something like Wikipedia (the video below) much easier!
‎
For next time, I’m going to get the back and forward arrow and reload a working website! And may start work on getting the browser to have divs!
‎
Thanks for reading!

Back and forth arrows, reloading, better formatting, and searching on the browser!

‎
Today was huge; I was able to get better formatting for text, search for things, and get buttons like back and forth and reloading working!
‎
‎
My next task to tackle is images!
‎
‎
The vid below shows all of the changes in action!
‎
Thanks for reading!

Rebuilt part of the browser engine to handle tabs!

‎
Today, I worked on getting tabs working! It wasn’t as bad as I thought; the worst part was making all the UI elements and handling the inputs for them!
‎
I also found a bug; the engine easily uses my entire CPU’s dedicated GPU and causes issues with other apps lol, but I’ll fix it in a bit!
‎
Overall it was just bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and tabs!
‎

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll do images, then I’m taking a break for a bit and doing something else because I’m burnt out, and that’s a tip for all of you too: don’t overwork yourselves!

Also, if you want to support the project, dropping a star on the GitHub would be awesome; no pressure, though. :)

This is one of my last devlogs I will do on this project but basically I made landing gear front and back. This one was really had to do because of the detail in hole wheel , but this was very fun to make I hope you guys like this one =)

I’m still working on my space shuttle!

---

So Far, My Main Goal has been Editing The Front of My Shuttle Since it Was Lacking in Realism. This Includes:

• Smoothing down ruff corners

• Adding high detail to the front of the rocket (Haven’t done this yet, but I have enough experience from the previous design to edit this)

• Enlarging the base of the rocket to add more crucial detail

• Making the front shape of the rocket realistic (This is by far the hardest and most time-consuming part)

• Adding detail to the tip of the rocket and the window in the front of the rocket (I haven’t really started on this because it needs a lot of work)

• Adding realistic connections to the external tank (Right now it’s just sitting on top)

---

Once I complete these main goals, I will likely be done! (The rest of the rocket in this image is hidden)

I’m almost done, this part was really fun add more realism and a better cockpit windows, I added things on the top like
APU Exhaust, TCAS, ATC, GPS, VHF L, SATCOM, another SATCOM, VHFC. On the bottom I added the ATC, TCAS, RA, DMEL, Marker Beacon, DME R, VHF R, and L R I will be adding landing gear and maybe more details.

Ok, this is the first push for my project, Sudo to actual code!

I was trying to code an AI compiler, but AI really sucks at compiling things, but it gave me the idea that I could make a VS Code extension that helps you code faster by writing pseudocode for some functions and then getting it translated to real code using context from the rest of your functions.
‎ ‎
‎
It would help you learn while not slowing you down! You still learn by still writing what you want to do, but the AI changes it so you can see how your idea converted to real code!
‎

‎
Today was kind of basic; I just worked for about 45 mins trying to fix my Ollama install, then the rest trying and debugging things! I’m going to very much improve this to be much better, as the extension doesn’t really do anything currently!

Demo of Sudo2AC!

I finished work on my pseudocode to actual code plugin; it uses Ollama, which you can run locally or use their cloud models! It works super well converting structured pseudocode code into actual code that works!

This can help make it easier for things like writing new things that relate to your functions, while understanding how it works!

This is the final devlog. I cleaned up a bunch of stuff and built the project, also making a readme. I also got the project on the Visual Studio Code marketplace for anyone to try; I also made this awesome banner!

(oh i also added keyboard shortcuts, to make it easier to use!)

Got started work on the GUI using SDL3!

---

‎
Today, I worked on getting a GUI up and running; for now it’s just a window, but I’ll get it working!
‎
I also started work on a logo, as I felt a bit burnt out during today, but nothing really came of it, as all my designs I tried sucked; the best one I linked below. I also created the first readme!
