Hello again!! I finally decded that I finished the homepage. The scroll image gallery is working and the setup is perfect. Since a deadline is approuching I decied to start working on the hardest part which is making the actual game. I added a canvas to do the webgame and after lots of googling I am coding the murder game but first I have to figure out the story line. I’ve been neglecting my github too so I have to work on that.
First i tried to fix the type writer part. This was unsuccessful since I decided to use AI instead of actually researching what I could do. Will absolutely NEVER make that mistake again. The code it tried messed up the rest of my program so now i have to go through and edit it all out. I am not going to disable to typing effect for non-english and have other languages have a fade in or some other cool effect. Also added in new photos and next step is to make a carousel with them.
Home page was created and hopefully finished. I also added in certain cursor states such as when you highlight text, hover over link, click and drag options, and normal hover state. I also started the projects page but I haven’t added any other text to it. My next steps are to edit how the page is able to be seen in mobile since I tried viewing it and it looked horrible so I have to find a text file so the text is constant no matter how you are viewing it.
The search bar on website is really good now. It can find over 80 people like characters, suspects and agents from The Mentalist. You can use it like you use the search on your computer. If you want to find someone like Virgil Minelli or Lorelei Martins you can just type their name. It will show you what they are doing and what group they are part of, with clearance level. I also made the Devlog tool better. Now you can write a lot of information about what you’re working on. You can use the editor to write many paragraphs about your investigation or what you are developing.
Worked on css animations for the first time which was very interesting to learn. I also added a chat room to the website so people who go on it can chat. Also added contacts at the footer so people can contact me directly.
Finished the case for the keyboard and now have to figure out how to do the cutouts for stabilizers and how to make the keyboard unique.
Worked on starting the code for the website and ended up starting on the normal pages of the site before the game since the character designing was making me annoyed. I ended up adding cool stuff such as a translation tool, changing the color of the scroll bar, changing the highlight color, and adding a home icon. I can’t wait to continue tomorrow.
I started and finished working on the final draft of the pcb. Since this is part of my first project on Kicad I wanted everything perfect which lead me to start over a lot. But after this I feel that this will be my final attempt since it has everything I want. Next I will be uploading to onshape so I can build the case. I also have to update my progress on github and upload everything.
Started the onshape!!
I worked on and finished the pcb board. Since I was new to the program it took a while for me to finish and I hade a lot of problems like wiring wrong but in the end IT WORKED!!!
For my keyboard I started going over what I wanted in a keyboard. I decided against extra number buttons and started designing the pcb. Using kicad I went over the wiring and connections and since this was my first time working on kicad I did have to use the guide and look up some things. Also did have to restart a lot but so far it is worth it.
After deciding the main horror aspects I started and finished making the walking animation for the sheffif number 1
I started brainstorming how i want the website to look and the steps involved (walkthru) of the actual game part.
So far I brainstorm and decided on 2 different paths for my site to take. First it would be a normal site showing my interests and the second option would be an pixel horror type game that would take you through to everything I have. Below is a quick like layout of the bare basics of my idea.
