Took way longer than I thought (2 years) but we finally did it!!!

Learn the basics of game development using JavaScript while building a breakout clone with the ability to add custom levels using pixel art!

[Jake Klassen @bitknight]

@danfletcherdev we're finally live 🎉 We've created a course to guide you through creating breakout from scratch using JavaScript. It's our first, be gentle 🙏 #gamedev https://t.co/9QipAZVH1i

@TheJackForge I feel very privileged to say that I would take the 4 day work week over the raise

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@karomancer This should legit be an arcade game it looks like so much fun!

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@Mattylantz Congrats to both of you!!! Beautiful baby boy!

@christophrumpel Please share if you do!

Been practicing my ollie a lot lately and I'm pretty proud of the form during the take-off for this one :D

Getting back into skateboarding at 33 has been tough lol

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@christophrumpel Oh didn't know you used to too! That's awesome 🤙

I've been scared about my ankles too 😳

For the last few months since I started skating again I've been doing a lot of mobility exercises to try and avoid injury (as much as possible)

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@hatch2k3 Thanks! It really is a workout lol I can't believe I used to use these things for getting around town

My goal is to get more into mini ramps and bowls because it's a lot easier on the joints than doing street

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@ModestasMV Oh damn been there before 😆

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

What skills do you work on outside of being a developer?

Right now I'm working on the skill of painting parking lots with my shins (some call this skateboarding 🛹)

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@jeffrey_way I haven't gotten into too much yet myself but have you looked into Nix? Not sure if it does exactly what you're trying to achieve but it might get you close https://t.co/3EWnCOuaNP

Another thought is aliasing brew et el to a bash script that uses rsync or ssh

That or Docker 😜

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@christophrumpel And for a grand room like that I don't think the design is usually considering long hours of tv watching

It's more of a background thing if you have it at all. If your house is large enough for a room like that chances are you have a seperate space for watching movies

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@christophrumpel In my last house (Canada) we did this because the fireplace made it so there was no other option

But also in a grand room like that you're potentially watching TV from the kitchen or dining area which makes the height more natural

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

Life has been so hectic for me lately 😓

Our move was a disaster but we're finally in the new house and slowly settling in

Loving the view from our front window in the morning!

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@hatch2k3 Glad this was helpful to you!

Thanks for the shout out 🙏

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@skyiesq @TreciaKS Good overall! Considering it's almost free it's tough to have any complaints. The flexibility fit my life extremely well at the time too

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@karomancer Oh no haha 😂 I can't. But at least it sounds better than var care so I'll give you that!

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

Been busy af lately and haven't made much time for posting

Sooooo... Sup? What I miss?

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@DThompsonDev Haha jokes aside there are legitimate case studies where this is "better"

I think it was Turbo Tax that ran into issues with customers complaining that they didn't trust that their taxes could be filed so quickly

They had to purposely add a loader to simulate "work"

[Fletch (Dan Fletcher) @danfletcherdev]

@bitknight Looking good dude!
