Comit (68cf688)

• Now the accounts tab uses the icon account.png instead of google.png finded in ./Assets/Icons/

This is all about the new Comunity Maps menu, what do you think?

Devlog 63

Comit (9aba978)

• Fixed ToDo banner
• Issue caused by the folder GithubAssets migrated .github

Comit (206642c)

• Added Semi-Banners for the Contributing options for astetic look!

Comit (77289c7)

• Fixed the paths for the banners in the contribute tab because in the visual studio code it looked fine but when I pushed the update it did not find the banners
• It was because I used to drag’n’shift on the MarkDown file and because of that it did not include .github in the file path

Comit (6579604)

• Added banners for optimization in Readme and translate in Contributions

That is all, what do you think?

Devlog 62 (3029862)

• More radial tools for efficiency creating and editing islands

New Radial Tools:

1. Circle Tool

• Place circles on the islands/Cut island in circle form
• Place materials in a circle way or top layers stuff

1. Line Tool

• Place lines on the island/Cut island into multiple islands
• Place items in a line shape like melons , trees , and more

1. Magic Wand

• Select Blocks with advamced pathfinding for selecting and modifying blocks
• Does not work with multi layer stuff like trees

1. Terraforming Brush

• Make mountains and increase Y level
• Gotta be buggy

Typical use

1. Circle tool: Make a circle island or a circle outline for the island more easily
2. Line tool: You can make paths more easily
3. Magic Wand: Select staked blocked more easily
4. Trraformig: Make mountains witout using the fill options more easily

• You can always find more uses for this tools this are just a few exemples

That is all the new stuff for this devlog, what do you say ?

Devlog 61

Comit (8206825)

• Added Founding option to the game’s repository, now you can give me your $ :3

Comit (eb8d784)

• Moved all content from GithubPreview to .Github so the repo is lookin clean

Comit (0eaaea5)

• Popup Help tooltips
• This “Helps” people to understand what the popup does when oppened
• Popups legible for this tooltip have a [?] button nex to the [x] button, this will help some users with the confusion

This is all about what is new, what do you think?

Devlog 60 (dcbcf9d)

• Added more Achievements
• Because I need to keep the game silly i will push some useless verry cool updates

New Achievements list:

1. It floats!

• Make your island float

1. You are crazyy stop!

• Open the Island as Emoji tab

1. It’s good to share

• Share your island link

1. Potato Mode ON

• Turn off al graphics settings

• Achievements are a way of exploring the menus so this will keep you entertained for a time :3 because I love my users ofc ofc

Anyway this is all about the new stuff in my game what do you think

Devlog 59

• Delete Account System!
  You don’t play my game anymore? (you won’t do that did you) Now you can delete your shared islands and account linked in my firebase!
• When you delete your account you will not be able to post maps anymore unless (ofc) you log again to your google account which will store your data again (ofc)

Why I added that?
I was forced by GDPR, they said that they will find me and fine me

Devlog 58

(More content that you will enjoy)

• Added Licenses Button in thes settings
• Now you can see the privacy policy and the terms of service again from the game
• Also now you can see the tutorial again via Licenses Button

• New repo folder!
• Legal Documents includes a PDF version of Privacy Policy and the Terms Of Service because MarkDown may sound confusing for some of you :3

Anyway that is all what do you think about

Devlog 57

(you surely will enjoy this devlog 💀)

• Added Terms of Service
• Added Privacy Policy

• Now in order to continue to play the game you need to accept this, else you will be blocked by the popup
• You have to accept Terms of Service and Privacy Policy!
• This docs contains esential information about the data colected by my project (not too mutch anyway :3 but you gotta read that)

That is all :3

Devlog 56

• added show air block, this will now show a outlined black block that is considered “air”
• this option can be turned on from the graphics settings when the user wants

• this actually shows the grid when the user does do a more gridy island or double islands, this makes the things more easely for the user
• and when erased the air block this will make some pop effects
• this is a simple option yet an usefull one

• that is all what do you think?

Devlog 55

Inventory/Hotbar items sort

• this feauture helps with the item sort on each page of the hotbar
• In order to sort an item you need to drag the item with the cursor, until you see a yellow line (#FFDF80) then drag your item until you see the line in front of the item you want to place
• I consider it preatty useless but maybe someone will apreciate it

• you can really get creative with the hotbar arrangement but for me is gtg anyway
• a big down fall is that you cant move items for the page 2 or 1 on the next page or vice versa so yea blame me c:

What do you guys think?

Devlog 54

Added save slots

• Now you can save up to 3 island on the in-game project storage using localStorage
• The popup contais all 3 slots even when unused with the “empty” label (cuze I was so lazy to hide them )
• You can save in any slot regarding of the order so for exemple you can save in slot 3 but slot 1 and slot 2 to be empty, very weird but it works
• Each save slot contains the following buttons : save, delete, load

When you choose to save your island in a slot the folowing things will happen:

• The game transforms your island into a load code (just like the island save code from the file menu)
• The minimap saves and loads as a thumbnail in the menu for showing how the island will look (kinda)
• Data is stored in localStorage ready for the next visit on the website :D

That is all about the save slots, what do you think about this ? :D

Devlog 53

1. Added cursor trails option avalabile in the settings and Cursor settings, when turned on the cursor will make trails

• Trails are like small particles of colors that go in small random directions, go transparent and lose size and then that particle is deleted for the best perofrmance when this option is turned on this happening on a loop :3

Here are the colors that Mouse Trail uses when turned on and you move your cursors

1. Light Color: #ffdf80
2. Medium Light #ffd060
3. Low Light #e8a020
4. Darker #c47010

• you can get really creative changing this values to anything :)

• The option svaes up so the game will remember you haved turned on next time you load the page
• Also it can be verry small if the Scale option is not configured corectlly so be sure to configure the scale properlly before turning this option on :3
• In my opinion it looks the best when the cursor is on the cross form

What do you think?

Devlog 52

Added Achiveements system: Now you can unlock some fun achivements and see easter eggs in this menu, i find this really fun and POP!
Also I need to design more icons and stuff for this popup but I love how it looks until now :3

Devlog 51

Hotbar small update: Now the hotbar elements bounce when cursor hold or touch one item for exemple: grass, it sounds so unnecsary but it makes the game POP!

Devlog 50

Added island float speed (verry usefull ik) , now you can change the speed of the float and make it more radio active

Devlog 49

Moved the terrain generators form the file menu to a new popup called “Fun” , in this popup I will store some crazy things that will come in the next devlogs, for exemple for now “Island As An “Emoji”. This converst your island top view into an emoji grid, just for fun but sometimes it can look sick :3

Devlog 48

Added a cooldown in the guide and a warn when the user try to exit because some recent votes shows that some people does not really read the tutorial
Here are some votes that lead to this change (no offense)

Votes

1. I like the project but I think it would be better to have an option to click and drag to paint blocks instead of clicking on each individual one
2. Noice project! Smol suggestion for controls: if you drag your mouse while holding down, it should keep placing
3. It is working but I am not able to stack blocks add some instructions
4. Nice idea easy to use works well add more features
5. but it is not working properly so I can’t say that it is giving me correctly response so keep learn more keep it up and keep growing
6. Cool and serene, game? But the zoom bar overlaps the toolbar
7. Cool project, would like to see if you could make the island expandable
8. The textures are really blury and look actualy kinda terrible and then drawing on top of already existing blocks is a bit hard

Seeing votes like that can be frustrating that is why I hope this feautre will prevent it in some cases :3

Devlog 47

I added a buffer that helps your browser pocesing the data faster (a bit) from the cache, this means that your unsaved island and your settings will load mutch more faster witout doing anything more. Also some bug fixes for some popups like fill that did glitch when clicked on the close button

Devlog 46

added a volume slider for the music because it can sometimes be loud, this makes it easy to lower down the volume

Devlog 45

Bug fix: Delete animation is a slide down instead of a snake effect
Why? Because it was slow and laggy

Devlog 44

Added Keybind menu! Now you can manage the shortcuts as you want :3 Feel free to get creative (hehe)

Devlog43
Added more radial menu shortcuts for more productivity
New tools:Settings Shortcut that opens the settings menu faster, Prezentation Mode that hides the GUI menus and shows them when turned off

Devlog42

Devlog 29
Added icons to File, Settings, Graphics, and Pointer popups, and optimized GUI colors

Devlog 28

Added support for comunity maps using google firebase:
this will let you load maps made by other cool persons, but it will let you publish only if you login using google OAuth

Here are a few rule quoted from readme before publishing maps

• Do not replicate EXPLICIT content (when you login I have acces to your username, gmail so it will be a shame to do that)
• Do not make bad maps or empty maps

Devlog 27

More compatibilty for tablets: Pinch to zoom , hold to select
Gui colors :) : Green, Blue , Brown (default) or automatic :3, this setting can be changed in the settings menu via GUI option

• Did a more vibrant and a more rounded design, and I moved the placing bar in the right, added some animations and some fades to look more amazing :D

Devlog 1
Did a simple editor with a grid where user can place platforms , spikes and the spawn point for now

Did a tutorial video on how to setup topic, also avalabile in the readme and some fixes to the app

Did the readme with a guide for the app, and released the final version :)

• Added support for custom aps like: VSC, Chrome or ANY APP because you need a Spotify Premium account to synk your status to slack so this should be more helpfull :)

Released the Tkinter app, and fixed the terminal version

Here’s a brief overview of the project until now
A simple Python desktop app (using Tkinter) which automatically syncs your Slack status with the song currently playing on Spotify.
Spotify uses the Authorization Code Flow with OAuth 2.0. The user enters their Client ID & Secret, the app opens the browser and goes to the Spotify authorization page, the app catches the URL with the authorization code on its local HTTP server on port 9090, and the code is exchanged for an access and refresh token, which auto-renews in the background every ~3000 seconds.
Slack authentication is much simpler, just a Bearer Token (User OAuth Token) which the user enters themselves.

I will release soon a tutorial on how to actually pair the app, and make a readme :D

Created a Beta terminal version that does not synchronize the time elapsed from Spotify and consumes only about 50 MB of RAM and 1% of CPU but is buggy

Devlog 20

• More settings options
• Bug fixes
• In-game scale option (welcome screen & settings)

Devlog 19

Separated the Settings from the File menu, it never really made sense to have it there. Pulled it out into its own menu so the File menu stays focused on saving and loading. Along with that, added four new visual toggles inside Settings: Clouds, Shadows, Leafs, and Fullscreen, all of which get saved with your island and persist between sessions. Deleting an island used to be instant, now a confirmation dialog pops up, also added QR Code saving, you can now export yours as a QR code straight from the File menu, scan it with your phone, and load it on another device.

Devlog 18

With this release, you can now pick the island grid size right from the File Menu, up to 8×8, so you have way more control over how big and shaped your world is. There’s also a new button that lets you create a random island by using seed generation. Block editing got easier too: just right-click or Ctrl + left click to pick a group of blocks. Then you can fill the whole area with any block you want in one go or delete the selected blocks all at once without needing the eraser. When you close a popup now, it plays a sound, and after finishing an action, a small confirmation toast pops up. The layout and touch controls have been updated to work better for tablet users, and now you can install the game straight from Chrome as a standalone PWA or APK (BETA) for tablets!

DEVLOG 17

• Android APK: The BETA Android build is live and available to download on the GitHub page
• File window: This window let you delete, load, save, and make random seeds for islands (aw and it is lookin cool :3)
• Export as Code: You can now export your island as a shareable code string directly from the save popup
• Page Icon: The tab now shows the proper Isometric Island favicon instead of a blank default
• Random Island: Hit the random button and get a fully generated island from one of five themed seeds: Summer, Snowy, Desert, Ocean, or Stone.(It does do some good islands but u gotta be lucky)
• Tablet Patches: Fixed several layout issues on tablet-sized screens. The hotbar, minimap, and zoom bar were all misbehaving at mid-range resolutions (Tested on SM-TAB-A9+ 67% zoom)
• README.md changes: Some readme changes at the guide section

Aw and btw, the glassy version will be delayed
And more to come, I still have some ideas but we are almost to the end of the project

That’s All, what do you think?

Devlog 16

• Performance & Technical Polishing
• Hardware Acceleration: Implemented GPU layering optimizations to offload rendering tasks, ensuring a stable frame rate even on lower-end machines.
• Undo/Redo System: You now have full control over your build history.
• Minimap: Added a dedicated minimap
• Readme updates

My plan for small screens (glassy ui) (PS: This will NOT be in the same repo or overwrite with this project, it is just an alternative for small screens and ui optimization)

• I’m moving away from the classic look for mobile in favor of a modern “Glassmorphism” interface built in HTML. This will provide a sleek, translucent aesthetic that feels native to modern iOS and Android devices. To speed up this transition, I’ll be utilizing AI-assisted design to generate the CSS layouts and component structures. *

That’s all!

Devlog 5

• Aded a BMP180 sensor to the circuit
• Rerouted the wires because it was a mess

PS:Ignore my hair XD
