what do you get when you combine gears and wordle? I really want to find out so im building a daily challenge wave mode shooter.

big step last night, I can pass data from the backend all the way to the players hud with proper replication and server-side authority.

babys first Unreal subsystem....this took me like two days and oh man did I want to pull my hair out, but i swear i felt like 'hackerman' when it was wrapped up.

calling it 'ImgGen', remote image to texture2d and QR code generation backed by a cross-platform cache

highly recommend checking out @kagi.com for search. I see a few hits that might be what you are looking for. IMO the time saved siftting through results is worth the price.

So #gamedev #indiedev, working on a wireframe, need some feedback. This panel is fairly important to the core loop: game has a leaderboard feature with social elements (think wordle x gears). if you arent in top 10 to inspire you to play again (should you choose, not shamed into). both states 🧵

The time has come....I shall try my hand at art again. Fun fact: before stumbling into programming, I initially started my community college game program focused on 3d modeling and animation....... I'm just my own worst enemy and a perfectionist 😬

Tutoring starts next month!
