first you get a concept, then you write a story, then you put some branches in it, then you figure out how to code it and whether it’s plausible given current gaming/app tech. then you revise and repeat.
It’s maybe a good way to learn? I don’t know, all I had was a book on BASIC in the 80s and it never made sense. Syntax error line 30 doesn’t really help when you’re 9
Sometimes I do stuff that torpedoes my confidence so hard that, yes, I need to double check that 2 + 2 really does equal 3.

Now I want a calculator app that insults you the whole time.
Well now I have something else to add to my pile of half completed projects. sigh

Coding would be the issue for me. The rest I could probably do though if I really wanted to.
Vibe code it
I’m not looking to be crucified by all of Lemmy.
