Ichi’s Otter Pet is a 2D desktop pet game made with Godot Engine and GDScript, inspired by my best friend and their love for cute and blue things. It features a pixel-art otter that walks around, occasionally idles, and interacts with collectible items, including a blue pebble, blue pen, ladybug, and blue gem. Players can buy these items from the otter or return them through interactive dialogs. Buying items earns coins for the otter, which are tracked by a CoinManager script that updates the coin display and manages purchases. I also created a draggable fish treat that the otter can purchase automatically for three coins when it gets close enough. The treat respawns at the center if the player has enough coins; otherwise, it disappears until they earn more. Through this project, I learned about animations, movement, interactive objects, currency systems, debugging, and GitHub version control. The hardest part was coding the coin systems. All graphics were created by me, making this a personal and creative learning experience.

I created IchiPett, a small desktop pet inspired by my actual cat. It features a walking cat, occasional idle animations, an interactive fish that can be dragged toward the cat, and floating hearts when the cat is clicked. One of the most challenging parts was making the cat move around the window while keeping the interactions working properly, especially dragging the fish and making it disappear temporarily before reappearing. I’m proud that I was able to turn my idea into a working project and create the sprites and animations myself. To test IchiPett, users can download the project or its available build, follow the instructions in the README, and try clicking the cat and dragging the fish toward it. By the way, I made the artworks too. Those took me about 45 minutes.

I created “Ichi Slack Bot,” an animal-themed Slack bot created as part of the NASA Stardance Challenge. This is my first coding project outside of school. I created it while learning the basics of JavaScript, APIs, Slack bot development, and programming through Stardance. The bot is designed around my interest in animals and chemistry. It provides information about cats and dogs, including animal-related chemistry, breeds, foods that dogs should avoid, and feeding reminders. I had fun while doing this, although I was quite puzzled about how to use GitHub at first!

I made a website about chemistry with built-in apps. The website is designed as a small digital laboratory where visitors can explore chemistry notes, the periodic table, chemistry topics, learning resources, and an interactive chemistry quiz. I wanted to combine my interest in chemistry with a fun and personal web design, so I created the website to look like a small desktop environment with different chemistry applications. It was quite hard since it took me a lot of time and it’s only my 2nd time doing this.

I make this website and I’m proud of it:3 It was very challenging lol since it was my first time… but tysm for the amazing tutorials nasa stardance!
