It's an open source project slowly rotting. Things that need doing: 1. Upgrade to Godot 4 2. Integrate VoiceCraft (nobody reads anymore) 3. Find ongoing support for a Maintainer

Is point 2 serious? Do programmers not read anymore?

If you're going to pitch something as a game, it needs voice. Integration is simple. What's the problem? Are git incantations too powerful to be spoken aloud?

That’s amazing, will definitely use this in teaching. Would be cool if this could also be compiled for the web/WASM.

Also, another git game / tool I had good experiences with is https://learngitbranching.js.org/.

I prefer reading instead of hearing some TTS or Voice AI reading things. For proper audio experience, a VA makes things probably better, though that has some cost to it as well. Otherwise just stick to text.

This, but I compartmentalize. If I own the project then my heresies are dogma. If you own the project I allow your heresies to be dogma.

Since reality doesn't care about this, wrong dogma can still bite you if it's not real even if non other people are involved

The creators recently announced that they’ve gotten funding to do a 2.0! https://chaos.social/@blinry/111011979500389143

Also, it’s made in Godot, and whilst an older versiob of the engine, I’ve found it a valuable codebase for a couple of things. I particularly like how they deal with level creation, their file format for custom levels is very KISS.

This is amazing! Thank you for making this. I'm sure youngsters will love learning git in a gamified environment.

54 year old finding this useful here! :-)

As @jna_sh mentioned, they are working on a 2.0 release : https://chaos.social/@blinry/111011979500389143

I won't even comment on the rest of points.
