In the last week, I worked on exploring the UI and UX of the simulator on Figma. The idea is to have a well-defined design direction before I start coding. The Figma files are published as a community project here:

Stacks Nakamoto Simulator Design

For the coming week, the plan is to get some good feedback on the prototype and start coding.

In the last couple of weeks I've been building the 3d scene that will accomodate the block simulation. Work is progressing well, with an estimation of 40% done. The plan is to get to 80 - 85% until the end of the month, and at that moment we should be able to start testing and interacting with the simulator.

In the last week I've continued the work on the 3d scene rendering. Some adjustments had to be made in the 3d environment to create better scenes for the two blockchains when they were being simulated. I also started modeling the domain, making sure we can easily adapt it in the future in case fork rules change.

The project is entering its final phase now. I'm working on finalizing the interactions with the blockchain, and the last step will be adapting to the design system. I'm hoping to have it ready for review this week still. Let's see how it goes.

I'm now working on the last feature that was part of the initial scope for the first release of the simulator: importing and exporting a simulation as a file. After that one, there are some adjustments to be made to the forking rules, applying the design changes so it matches the CB design system, and we should be ready for version 0.0.1
