My final devlog
For this last time I mostly focussed on bug fixes and polish. I did add one feature, the refresh button. You can use this menu to set a location manually or to refresh the data.
Devlog 4: today I added a way to see easely see wich planet is selected on the compass. I also added some nice animations. The hardest part was learning how animations in CSS work but thankfully it is pretty straightforward.
Devlog 4:
I added some small quality of life changes e.g. being able to highlight bodies on the compass, small fixes and UI tweaks. The project is almost done. I hope to ship before the end of next week. The hardest part now was adding the checkboxes to show constellation on the compass, worst part is that I will probably remove them again.
DEVLOG 3:
I added the ability to know what planets and constellations you can see and you can get some info about them. There is also a compass now that shows you where the planets and some constellations are. This all went pretty smoothly and I didn’t have much issues at all :-)
Devlog 2 I added a lot since my last devlog. I added a star background to let the site look a bit nicer. I also added a graph which displays what the future score will be at your location. Lastly you’ll notice a new score at the bottom. It is based on the time and brightness of the sun. The hardest part was the styling of the HTML. I couldn’t get it all in a nice layout.
I added a working score calculator based on the current cloudiness and the moon brightness. The time is also mentioned but has no effect on the score yet. I had never done something with Javascript, HTML or CSS so the hardest part was figuring out how everything worked(e.g. API’s, libraries, etc.) My biggest challange yet was letting the location API work. It constantly gave errors and I spent 2 hours trying to make it work.
