WARNING!

hey! my css detected that you're on a mobile device or on a really narrow window.
even though some sections of the website are optimized for narrow screens, i still highly suggest to have a wider window open or to flip your phone horizontally for the best experience. thanks!

home

hello! it is currently a unspecified amount of time.

NOTE! the only thing working on this website is the cats section as of right now. it is constantly being updated, so don't expect your progress to be saved.

to-do list

WARNING! this list is not listed in terms of priority, but rather from earliest to latest when they came up in my head.


this html file, along everything else will become priority once this list is 100% done.


tasks done: 17 out of 41(43)

    cats
  • make an award for hitting 1k, 100k, and 1m, etc.
  • change the clicker button into a button that looks like a cat
  • add more upgrades
  • add particles from the back for every interaction with the button
  • make the space bar interact with the button, so users don't have to tap with a mousepad or mouse
  • make the "Cats per click" and "Cats per second" scale pump whenever upgraded (is this possible? if not scratch the idea)
  • have the total amount of cats be sticky (so when Cats: # approaches the top of your screen, it stays in sight and not into the void above the browser. this also only applies to the mobile version of cats)
  • lower the size of the background and upgrade images so the page loads faster
  • change the cost to be better for bigger numbers (so it displays 20k instead of 20000)
  • show total amount of cats clicked (not cats as in amount earned, but the amount you ACTUALLY clicked)
  • have options to change the voice when the button's clicked
  • make background music
  • have the upgrades on the bottom be hidden until a certain price or upgrade has been bought
  • when the viewport has the scrollbar for the top utility bar, fade the ends so the buttons don't abruptly get cut off
    • (i think i give up cause it's genuinely impossible)
  • fix an issue where the info box (the thing that displays cats/second or cats/click when hovering over an upgrade) displays the unshortened increase amount than the default increase value
  • fix an issue where saving and loading upgrades cpc or cps accurately (f*** you tutorial guy!)
  • display "Level MAX" when reaching level 500
  • (from the tutorial) add sound effects when things happen; apparently it works fine on vscode but not on neocities? idk
  • disappointingly, the tutorial past part 6 does NOT work! all goals listed here previously will not be accomplished.
    portfolio
  • smake the portfolio dropdown actually work
    • i give up on this! too difficult!
  • make a video section that looks better than the previous one

      • ideas for the videos section:

    • have the background be a really cool video store or something electronic-related
    • have a section on the right (or bottom for mobile users) about the video and my thoughts about it
    • add a section for inspiration (since i take a bunch of inspiration from others, not in a stealing way of course!)
    • (if possible) have a cool border around the video
  • create a posters section similar to the first version with descriptions
    about me
  • make a section to write blogs (moved this to its own section, will cross this out when everything's completed. also, i might move it back to the "about me" section, maybe not)
  • write a cool intro about myself and the things i do
  • show off a cool song i found on soundcloud or somewhere
  • display my AWESOME sketches and drawings
  • add a background so it isn't just pure black
    blogs
  • actually write some interesting stuff that's about me
  • have the background be an awesome library (i have ideas on where i want it to take place)
  • have tags on every blog so it's easier to sort between rants and just thoughts
    homepage
  • create "updates" section
  • fix the background for this page
  • figure out a way to make users without default (websafe for smart people) fonts to look good
    • honestly, it's just Times New Roman that's the main issue but i'll figure something out
  • seperate the updates section to a seperate html file because of how massive it'll be in the future
  • have each of the updates sections split into months (for example, all of october's updates would be in one tab while november's would be in another tab. would this cost too much space? idk we will see)
  • change the spacing between the to-do list and the updates section (it's uneven, i hate it!)
  • have a button that lets the user go from update to update without scrolling
    universal
  • optimize this website for mobile users (done with cats, still need to fix the homepage to look good)
  • add a browser tab icon for each section; some including: the homepage, cats, about me, portfolio, not found, etc.
  • make a 404 not found page
  • lots of other things (i think i covered everything)
    • (edit, i did not!)
  • also, isn't it impressive that this newcities website is so mobile-friendly? most website's i seen are so awfully created for mobile users and i feel so bad for those who wanna browse the web and don't have access to a computer or laptop

    • added a cap of 500 levels to every single upgrade (besides the alien, i doubt anyone's reaching level 500 on that though)
    • editor's note: the javascript's getting so messy im ngl it's like a whole bunch of word soup

    • added a feature where some upgrades are unavailable until certain requirements are met
    • changed the milestones for Cookie Cat from every 50 levels to every 25 levels

  • cats
    • fixed a MASSIVE issue where the power function would give you a absurd amount of cat power (it was possible to get up to 2^20^6, if you could imagine how massive that number is) down to just 30k!
    • to avoid the previous mistake above, only the cookie cat will exponentially increase while the other upgrades will just add onto the total power
    • tweaked how much pricing goes up when buying an upgrade and how much the upgrade increases

    • reduced size of upgrade images by ~70% (all upgrade images are less than 2 megabytes)
    • changed "Cats Clicked" from stats to be unformatted, since most people won't probably be above a million clicks (or maybe i thought wrong?)
    • changed the upgrade milestones to increase the overall statistic, rather than just the upgrade
      • for example, if your cats/second was 1k and you had four upgrades at level 10, then your total cats/second would be 4k/s
    • added two sections in the stats bar that display your power for cats/second and cats/click
    • added power as a function to be saved and loaded

    • (attempted to) hide upgrades until a certain threshold is met

11/4/24

  • home

    • added a welcoming text that displays your real time and a corresponding message, based on the time of day
    • updated goals on the to-do list

10/25/24

  • cats
    • changed the location of the save and load functions (sorry mobile users it looks awful, hopefully the slider bar makes up for it)
    • changed positioning, margin, and padding of all header buttons
    • made the body height 680px at the very least regardless of window size
    • added a browser tab icon
    • limited the size of the upgrade container (so it doesn't stretch all the way down the page when i include more upgrades)
    • (from the tutorial) changed the scrollbar's style to look more pleasing
    • (from the tutorial) optimized javascript and html files to look way cleaner
    • if you couldn't tell, i am getting full inspiration from this person, but rather my own twist on things. notice how the styling is completely different and how my version has stuff that his doesn't. im unique i swear!
  • thoughts and aspirations
    • i was going through the web archive and was curious if my website was on there; surprisingly, there was THREE SAVES OF MY WEBSITE LIKE HOLY CRAP I'M FAMOUS
    • whole-heartedly, thank you to the 1-3 people who saved my website on there it means bunches to me

10/23/24

  • homepage
    • made the background not cut off on the bottom of the screen
  • cats
    • swapped out the button for a much cuter cat (thanks again han)
    • added a space cat option
    • adjusted starting price, price increases, and income increases

    • put the "return to homepage" button in the middle because it was bothering me on widescreens
    • more cascading style sheet optimization

10/22/24

  • homepage
    • vertically stacked and resized all textboxes if viewport is equal or less than 650px
    • changed the stacking format of the to-do list and the updates so it's not just one big list of text, but rather two smaller lists of texts
  • cats
    • changed the padding of the stats bar so it's slightly bigger
    • changed the clicker to a big red button that looks like a cat (thanks han)
    • (previously was milly from @fatfatmillycat)

10/21/24

  • homepage
    • added a warning for visitors with a viewport 650px or lower to change to a wider viewport
    • changed the update section to be like the "updates" section since i added a bunch of goals to hit

10/19/24

  • universal
    • made both cats and homepage more accessible to mobile users! (at the very least, i tried)
      • for the homepage, i haven't optimized android users and other users that don't have any of the websafe fonts pre-downloaded
      • however, i have made the background not clip off for mobile users
      • for cats, the clicker and the upgrades side by side makes it nearly impossible to optimize. maybe move the upgrades towards the bottom of the webpage at a certain max-width? haven't decided. just deal with it or play with your phone tilted horizontally sorry
  • homepage
    • moved the updates section to a textbox
    • added a cool blue box on the top left of all the textboxes to represent all the labels
    • fixed up the background picture so it doesn't leave blank spaces (at least, when you don't try intentionally)
    • website visitor counter!
  • cats
    • made a very cool background (thanks han and mimi ur the best!)
    • added three upgrade options
      • one of them increases clicking power, the other two increasing idle speed
    • added a stats bar on the very top to represent "Cats per click" and "Cats per second"
    • made the "return to homepage" bar position:absolute to make it stop running away
  • misc:
    • not all updates are listed, since i kinda made all of this within 3 days
    • with that being said, this portion only covers what i've done today and not the other two days, sorry for the inconvenience!
    • also, you could probably tell that i stayed home all day due to the massive amount of progress i made today
