Today was interesting. I focused on core mechanics. The base is Sudoku, but with twists to help or slow you down. All ideas were handwritten, so tomorrow I’ll implement them to see what sticks. Day 3 of #BuildingInPublic. In my mind it’s feeling good 🧐

Also, I do wonder, how much should I be sharing? My goal is to be held accountable and ship it, instead of leaving it like my board rules engine, gathering dust in one of the corners of private GitHub 😅 #BuildingInPublic

Day 2 of #BuildingInPublic. I already had a board rules engine with solid test coverage and good adaptability, built for simple games (less complex than chess). I had a lot of fun making it but never used it, so today I'm forking and adapting it for this game.

I've been wanting to build something just for fun, no client work, no deadlines, just a project where I can experiment with game engines, mess around with React Native and Expo, and see where things go.

Sudoku felt like the perfect starter, I have had this idea for a few years...So it is time to try to #BuildInPublic something, hopefully you all like it.

@marinaaisa as someone with similar circumstances. I feel ya 🥲. It’s one thousand tiny papers cuts. Even when hiring someone to take care of most of it.
