TLDR: I completed my first-ever game jam, learned a lot, and am very proud. Check it out below. This past weekend I participated in the Ludum Dare 55 Game Jam. Game Development is new to me and with the way the job market has been going for me, I decided to move towards working on projects that I want to do rather than projects that 'could' help me get a job. This led me to pick up the Godot game engine about 2 months ago. About a week ago, I started talking with people online about Ludum Dare as it was approaching and watched a few videos about game jams. I quickly got excited and developed a strong desire to participate, but I'd never done a game jam nor did I feel like a strong programmer. So it was three days till Ludum Dare and I needed to figure out if I could create a game within 48 hours. Well, there are 48 hours in there, where I could run a mock game jam by myself to test myself and see if I could do something whether it was fun or visually appealing. And that's exactly what I did. That Wednesday and Thursday I worked all day to create a Space Invaders clone. It was tough at first and I had a moment where I wanted to quit but I kept chipping away. In the end, I completed the clone, learned a lot, and felt a lot more confident. This is where I said, "Screw It. I can do the game jam and I will do it." Friday night finally rolled around and the theme of "summoning" was announced. I was bummed honestly, this was my first game jam and I was hoping for a theme that could be more of a play on words. I had no choice of course and I wasn't going to back out now so I spent that night thinking of ideas, trying to maintain a concept that made the player feel like they were physically summoning something. I went with a Quick-Time-Event type concept where the player is shown a random sequence of letters (based on WASD) and then the player would have to input that sequence to summon an attack and move to the next sequence. There is a lot I can talk about this project but I am very proud to create all the assets and code myself. Working through the logic was interesting to say the least, especially with the time limits. I'm not too sure the game is very fun or visually appealing but I think the audio came out well and the player input with sequence changes felt good. As someone who has dreamed of being a video game programmer, having a decently programmed game was the one thing I wanted to get right. It's been 2-3 days since the game jam ended and while I'm still processing the weekend, this is a huge personal accomplishment, and wanted to share.

Hello everyone, I am excited to share the Connect4 game I was working on. I enjoyed making this game. As part of the game, it was interesting to implement the traversal of multi dimensional array in different directions - horizontal, vertical and diagonal. Thank you Outscal, Mayank Grover, Arindam Bharati, Malhar Devasthali Manas Gangwani for all the support and guidance. #Outscal #ProjectsAtOutscal #gamedevelopment #gamedeveloper Here is the GitHub link and a video of the game play. https://lnkd.in/gKDSbWee

Divisor Game: 🚀 Current Streak: 58/100 🔥 Problem : Alice and Bob take turns playing a game, with Alice starting first. Initially, there is a number n on the chalkboard. On each player's turn, that player makes a move consisting of: Choosing any x with 0 < x < n and n % x == 0. Replacing the number n on the chalkboard with n - x. Also, if a player cannot make a move, they lose the game. Return true if and only if Alice wins the game, assuming both players play optimally. #100daysofcoding #geeksforgeeks
