Do you think you're a bad enough dude to implement Time Mechanics? Then you might be up for Mechanically Challenged! itch.io/jam/mechanically-cha… #mechanicallychallenged #gamedev #indiegamedev

This month we are challinging you to implement Portal Physics! Two of our favorite submissions will win $50 each! Join us for our monthly game dev challenge: Mechanically Challenged! mechanicallychallenged.org/ #gamedevs #indiegamedev #mechanicallychallenged

Learn You A Game Jam is coming up and we have over $1000 in prizes this year! In this game jam you win by learning something new and sharing it with the community! Be sure to check it out! itch.io/jam/learn-you-a-game… #gamedeveloper #IndieGameDev #IndieGameDev #GameJam #LYAGJ #LYAGJ2024

Going live! We are taking a look at submissions for Mechanically Challenged: Slopes and Loops! We will also be revealing June's Mechanic! Come hangout, ask questions, and learn with the Captain and Crew! twitch.tv/TheCaptainCoder

This month's mechanic is... Special Platforms: Slopes and Loops! mechanicallychallenged.org/ The Sonic series made great use of special platforms to create twisting, winding, and fast paced levels! This included sloped platforms that allowed the player to accelerate while moving down and fight gravity while moving upward. Probably more iconic are the loops that Sonic uses to create a sense of movement and speed! This month, you are challenged to write an implementation for sloped platforms, looping platforms, or both! Both 2D and 3D submissions are welcome! Additionally, it is up to you how you choose to implement this mechanic. However, entries that focus on simplicity, modularity, and code reuse are more likely to win an Educational Mechanic prize!

He should just make it impossible to sign up. That is what @GitHub has done for some of my students. I have a few students who have tried for over 30 minutes and cannot make an account because of this ridiculous captcha (they have to answer it 20 times in a row without failure)

This Captcha for signing up for @github is absurd! It requires you to complete 20 of these. If you get one wrong, you don't find out until the end and you have to do 20 more. Some of my students have been trying for 30 minutes and can't make accounts. The audio is just as bad. Help!

@Lunarboot and I are kicking off the first ever Mechanically Challenged! This Month we are doing Drop Through Platforms! Are you up to the challenge? github.com/moonizz/mechanica… #IndieGameDev #indiedev

I'm having so much fun building an editor for creating Dungeon Crawlers and an "Engine" for playing them. Can't wait for #dcjam2024 to start on Friday! Project is open source and available on GitHub github.com/CaptainCoderOrg/D…

Another incredible TDD game dev stream. Thanks chat for challenging me to practice writing tests in a game dev context! Cap Man can now fight back with projectiles! Huge shoutout out to @b3agz , @timbeaudet , proton_fig, and PropzMaster for the raids!

What a great stream! Chat talked me into doing TDD for my game projectiles and it came out great! CapMan will have a dangerous Bowler Hat soon! Thanks for the raids, @OndrejAngelovic, @Lunarboot , @thedevdad_ , @pberex, and proton! All of you inspire me to continue streaming!

I am stuck on this screen. Is there a log somewhere I can get to send you more info?

Cap Man AI is coming along nicely. Hard to tell from this screen grab but we have AI powered Baldies chasing the Cap Man now!

Going live! Let's write some Cap Man AI today! Maybe...? Possible...? I did a bunch of refactoring off stream so you don't have to! Come hangout, ask questions, and learn with the Captain and Crew! #WakaWakaWaka twitch.tv/TheCaptainCoder

Fun stream today working on our Pac Man inspired game Cap Man! This enemy is out to get Cap Man's hat! Thanks for the raids: @Lunarboot, @CodeRadGames , Roikku, and LOLDelta, you are all amazing!
