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: 26 out of 46

about me (2 of 2)

• write a cool intro about myself and the things i do
• show off a cool song i found on soundcloud or somewhere

blog (3 of 5)

• actually write some interesting stuff that's about me (to be fair this was already done)
• have tags on every blog so it's easier to sort between rants and just thoughts
• have a filter where certain tags can be skipped
• have clickable arrows on the bottom to switch between different blogs
• add a dropdown setting that allows people to scroll through blogs in a list format, similar to my previous blog section

music (0 of 3)

• make a super super cool background with speakers and music notes and stuff for the background
• make buttons with different catagories of music i listen to, and a main section that displays the majority of information (similar to Blog, but not entirely)
• have a Soundcloud embed on the top that's interactive

portfolio (1 of 5)

• make the portfolio dropdown actually work
• i give up on this! too difficult!
• 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 selected 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!) (this is covered here)
• (if possible) have a cool border around the video
• create a posters section similar to the first version with descriptions

cats (12 of 18)

• 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)
• 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
• fix an issue where the game completely freezes after a certain point (i don't even know how this happened)
• (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.

webpage map (0 of 1)

• make a simple background in blender with a map on a table

homepage (6 of 9)

• 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

• have a button that lets the user go from update to update without scrolling
• add a webpage map so people don't get lost
• switch the formatting of the dates in the updates section
• have the backgrounds update based on what time it is (different ones for morning, evening, and night)
• get rid of the stutter between detecting which background to choose from

universal (2 of 3)

• 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 that i have not discovered
• 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

• cats
  • increased padding from the bottom of the page and the second container when in "mobile" mode

  • added an option to switch between night and day with a button

  • switched the format from M/D/Y to M D, Y with the month fully spelt out

• 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!

  • 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

  • updated goals on the to-do list

  • edit 10/30: it did NOT work! i'll still leave it here as is

10/25/24

  • 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

  • (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

  • more cascading style sheet optimization

10/22/24

• homepage

  • 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 clicker to a big red button that looks like a cat (thanks han)
  • (previously was milly from @fatfatmillycat)

  • 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

• 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
