i will tell you this because I do not know if you have read my first reply to J-M-L Jackson but the school I go to is in the Philippines which is has a harsh grading system and awful educational system and you can even search it in google, tiktok, reddit or other platforms if you did not know about this. DepEd (Department of Education) is considered as one of the most corrupt agencies in the Philippines ( this exact sentence can be found from searching in google ) so I blame the heads and not its subordinates but alas I am but a mere student who could only listen and do as I am told for the time being.
also since the people above are corrupt and will only do as they please regardless of countless students reporting an issue about their experiences in education or other matters regarding school, it becomes a hassle reporting to the higher ups and will only cause more problems and stress so I would rather get my project done and be free from my school than wasting my time complaining knowing I will have only wasted my time and that nothing will change or get done
I think this video might be helpful

Thank you so much for the sketch, I'll setup the sensors and upload it to see if its compatible 
Thanks for the video too 
You are welcome. Hope this helps
I understand. I wish you well. Apply yourself more each day.
Rather than starting with a complicated project, you should start with smaller projects and build toward your full project. In the electronics/programming world, we learn "Hello, World!" just to show that computer input can create computer output.
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.print("Hello, ");
Serial.print("World!");
}
void loop() {
// this function must be available, but does not need to be "used"
}

hello, I have a question. Do i need to "Sign In" in Github to be able to download the Adafruit APDS 9960 library because I can't seem to find the "Git repository" on the webpage and could only download the codes in it
seing this made me laugh a little because a while back I was struggling with my lcd display as the characters on the coding did not show on its screen despite the its seemingly complex codes from the long videos online but having your skecth uploaded showed "Hello, World!" on the serial monitor despite it being such a simple sketch 
. If only our class had the time to actually learn these, those kids would go wild with what they would say in their inputs 
You can use your IDE Library Manager to install the library (recommended).
Or... download the library (not recommended, but a method) by searching "Adafruit APDS 9960 library" and follow either the Arduino or Github links to the library page and download the ZIP of the library. Then, use the IDE to install the ZIP file... IDE >> SKETCH >> INCLUDE LIBRARY >> ADD ZIP LIBRARY. No account is needed.

You can download from Arduino IDE itself

thanks for showing me how to download it, i'm not familiar with these types of things so all I'm very happy that people here in the forum help one another
I would suggest you not to submit your project with all the wires and circuitry exposed. Rather I would suggest you enclose the whole circuit in a 3D Printed Case to impress your Professor.
You can use user friendly tools like TinkerCad to design it

that's a nice idea though i don't have a 3d printer nor does anyone I know but I'll look for other ways to organize the wires and such before submitting it 
There are 3D Printing Services in Philippines that might print them for you if you send them your 3D File
You should look for such services in your area

also, does anybody know what to do when it says " no such file in or directory" in compiling a sketch even though I already downloaded and copied the Adafruit APDS9960 library file in the Arduino's library?
will do 
Can you send a screenshot. It occurs when a library is not installed or found
You can search on google for "3D Printing Services near me"
