sorry for no updates! been busy procrastinating with doing nothing

• cats
  • changed "Sleep Cat" back to "Sleeping Cat"
  • added a boost to your upgrades when they reach level 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 100, 150, 200, and 250
  • fixed the issue so the cats/second and the cats/click actually updates on each click
  fixed the issue where all of the upgrades displayed "cats/click" instead of their actual corresponding upgrade
• homepage
  • added MORE stuff on my to-do list (it's so much holy)
  • changed the scrollbar to look a bit nicer
  • switched a message or two on the home section
  • changed the background css a bit (still messed up, needs fixing!)

OCTOBER

10/30/24

• homepage
  • made the time change when the next minute rolls around

10/29/24

• homepage
  • moved the mobile warning to a seperate container so it's more visable and stands out from the other text
  • 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
  • (attempted) to fix the issue with users without web-safe fonts, and no i do NOT care if it makes my website 2-3mb heavier
  • edit 10/30: it did NOT work! i'll still leave it here as is

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
  • ADDED A SAVE AND LOAD FEATURE (it actually works!)
  • made all numbers (besides the level counter) to be shorthanded to save space (for example, 1000 = 1.00k)
  • 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
• cats
  • moved the upgrades towards the bottom if the viewport is smaller than 800px (it does still somewhat look bad if it's smaller than ~360p)
  • changed the font to comfortaa
  • changed the stats bar to be two seperate boxes rather than one massive bar
  • changed the way the button interacts when hovered and clicked
  • tab shows how many cats are in your current balance
  • rate of "Cookie Cat" upgrade increased from 3% to 4%
  • lots of other styling and quality of life changes

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
