Who is working on a board game?! I am a board game designer working on a game right now called Cozy Lighthouse Keeper!

Thanks for Joining our community! The first thing I would love you to do is make a introductory post! 1. What you like to go by! 2. What are you working on (if anything) 3. What are some of your goals, in making tiny games? 4. Have you made any games already? Where can we find them?

The best way to become a good programmer is to become good at debugging. When you build complex systems, eventually you will run into bugs that are nearly impossible to reproduce. Sometimes it's not our code — the bug is baked into the dev platform we are using and there is nothing we can do about it. Users will occasionally run into the bug ,but we won't be able to reproduce it. So how do you fix a bug that you can't reproduce yourself? We use an approach I call Catch and Correct. First, we identify the symptoms of the bug — as reported by our users and through our deeper investigation. Then we add code that looks for those symptoms and corrects the problem while it happens in real time. Since we can't fix the bug itself, we fix the consequences of the bug so that the user can continue playing — perhaps without even knowing that something happened.

So i got to try it and kind of work out some of the kinks, and I think ill keep doing it! ill set up on the calendar, Wednesday nights at 9:00ish Central a live to just do some game dev, and hang out if anyone wants to connect! Hope to see you next time! I think ill put an edited version of my first recording so you can get an idea of what im doing in the classroom!

Ive been playing with the idea in my mind of having a live, where i might just drop in with my game sharing my screen and just chat with anyone who either wants to co work or just hang out! Since skool now has native live streaming that makes it super easy for me and Ive been thinking of doing it Wednesday nights like around 9pm Central, Im not sure if that works for anyone, but i might just start doing it to test out the feature!
