Finished up my PCB for my alarm clock!
It uses 6 switches in a matrix, a buzzer, and the TFT Screen.
It was pretty fun making it, and I plan to add a few more fun silkscreen images on the PCB (so far there’s a squirrel).

Finished the last level!!!
Space Squirrel got himself a spaceship (don’t ask) and has to navigate through asteroids to collect acorns! Use W/Up and S/Down to move up and down to collect the acorns!
I animated the spaceship booster and drew out the asteroids. I’m planning on making the asteroids rotate as they move across the screen.
Next Steps:
- I’m going to make it look a bit cooler, maybe change a few backgrounds.
- Refine some of the code
- Ship it!

Mostly finished working on the Platformer Minigame and the Clicker minigame!
Our amazing Space Squirrel is collecting acorns floating in space!
I am now going to work on the third minigame as well as the title and ending screens.

New Features!
I added a Flight Tracker!!!
Simply put the flight number of the flight you want to track, and you will be able to see the following information:
- Departure + Arrival City and Airport IATA codes (ex. LAX - Los Angeles)
- Time since departure and time until arrival
- Airline that the plane is operating under (ex. Emirates or Southwest)
- The aircraft model (ex. Boeing 737 MAX 8)
- Flight status (ex. Landed, en-route)
I used an API to gather data for the flight tracker.
I also added a calendar for general viewing.
I may make this more interactive, but for now it is simply a calendar to help users easily check the calendar.

I worked on my new tab webpage project and added a few features.
I added a Google search bar that searches Google as well as a bookmarks/shortcuts bar underneath.
I also incorporated NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day in a widget in the left corner, you can expand the caption to read the full details about the image.
Additionally, I added a timer in the right corner with a progress bar that decreases as the time runs out.
In the middle of my page, I included a small weather widget that displays the current temperature as well as an icon that represents the current weather.

I kind of forgot to log some of my time, but I added a few more features to EpicOS!

New Weather App!! Simply type in the city you want, and the app will show the current temperature, time, wind speed/direction, sunrise/sunset timings, precipitation data, as well as a 7-day forecast.
-
Refreshed note launcher, which can have up to 2 saves (I will probably increase this or make it unlimited later).
-
The calculator has more conversions, such as Lb-Kg, In-Cm, and others.
-
New Settings app that allows you to customize your wallpaper. Currently has 3 different options.
I also did some other minor fixes in the game and throughout the project.

I added a notes app!
The notes app has a launcher that currently allows you to perform three functions. You can create a new document, save that document, and then load the most recent save.
I also added all the planets in my live solar system diagram, and locked the zoom so you don’t zoom out too much and lose the solar system.

I worked on making my OS look a bit better and added an application that shows you the live position of planets in our solar system. It took me a while to find some sort of API that will give the data for it, but I managed to get the inner planets for now!
