The Nautilus - A Group Project


 The Game

The Nautilus is a game a friend of mine, Eden (found here on GitHub), started back over a year ago. It's gone through many revisions, eventually winding up as a web-based game that involves controlling a spaceship, navigating obstacles, and avoiding enemies. 

Features

Contains custom audio, perfectly looping music and background sounds, visual effects, a momentum storing and releasing mechanic, and more. Playable with WASD for movement, and the space bar to store, then subsequently release your momentum later for ultimate speed control. 

The Project

The source code can be found on GtiHub here, and is playable at the following link: https://eden-annora.github.io/TheNautilus/.

Have fun! Please star the project, and report issues if you find some. Note that the game is early in development, so there will be some bugs.

Videopaks for the OP-Z

Image
Background In 2020, slightly before the pandemic, I purchased a small synthesizer called the OP-Z, manufactured by Teenage Engineering . It's little gray rectangle, about the size of a tv remote, with full synthesizer and sampler capabilities. It's a very nice, capable little device, but it lacks a screen, or any kind of display save for a bunch of RGB LEDS inside most of the buttons. Now, no display whatsoever is a little tricky on such a complicated device, so the solution to this was to use your phone or tablet as a display to show what's going on inside the synthesizer. The best part, is the app allows you to create your own visuals to sync up with your music. What I Made I'm not the best artist out there, so I looked for how to make a tool rather than just art with this platform called "Videolab." I wound up creating two different tools. The first one was a spinning drum, where each note you play on the synthesizer would create a ball, playing a sound eac

Raspberry Pi Spotify Display - Nowify, Homebridge, and More!

Project continues here: https://blog.romangarms.com/2022/06/raspberry-pi-spotify-display-auto.html Setup A while ago, I set up a Raspberry Pi 3B and cheap touchscreen display to show the song I'm currently listening to on Spotify. I did this by installing Raspbian, and then running Jon Ashcroft's Nowify  on the display, albeit with some slight modifications. I customized a couple of things. One, the "no music is currently playing" screen is now black, and less attention-grabby. Secondly, the font size got bumped up a little (a requirement for this tiny 7" screen, but still not enough!).  I also added one other helpful feature, though this one isn't a part of the Nowify site. I added integration with Apple Homekit through  Homebridge , which allows me to remotely turn on and off the display from my phone. Hitting buttons on my phone sends a signal to my computer hosting the Homebridge server, which sends a command over SSH to the Raspberry Pi to enable or disa
