#162Mostly two things: 1) online platform for learning foreign languages via simple games, currently trying to make it work on mobiles ( http://language-monster.com ) 2) attempting to create a classic 2D real-time strategy game, although it's in early development: https://github.com/lchsk/knights I intend to make it work on Linux & Windows
I like the idea of gamifying language learning, and your first project is cool.
Can anyone recommend good 'game' type apps to help learn Chinese?

#164Project: Build a website to teach myself nodejs and angular 2. Try to make it profitable.
Problem: Code is very effective and learning objectives where achieved. (Will be working on implimenting angular2 soon, right now just Codeigniter/Bootstrap.) The problem has been making massive amounts of money from the website.

You be interested in some software I found yesterday called Godot: https://godotengine.org/ It's got a fairly nice GUI and allows you to script events in a scripting language that's like a mix between Python and C++. You can also just use C++. Everything works as part of a "scene-tree". The physics and rendering engines are swappable. I believe it uses SDL2 by default. I'm pretty new at game-dev stuff. Most of my wor…
Hi. Thanks, I've heard about godot, although haven't tried it. For now, I prefer to have more flexibility though.

#167currently making low-cost and low-powered tree cameras that will hang from Atlanta-area fruit trees and send us once-a-week tree photos.
The idea is that we can hang them in trees all over the metro area and keep an eye on when they ripen. This is mostly powered by the Twilio programmable data service and the Ai-Thinker A20 (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DIYmall-ESP8266-A20-Wifi-GPR...) -- WiFi and 2G cell radio for $14!
We can likely get battery life in the range of several months, so we can put the sensors up at the beginning of the season and then take them down when we harvest.

#168Project: For over a year, I have been developing and maintaining a score-tracking social network for pinball players. We recently broke 1k users who have posted over 20k scores. I'm currently in the process of refactoring the entire codebase and updating/testing dependencies. Once the mobile app is polished I intend on making a web version as well. As a newer developer (~3 years), the scope of this app and the size of the target community are the perfect challenge for me. I've learned about deployments, image uploads, CDN, DBA, and community engagement.
Problem: I'm really struggling with deep-linking. I want to make sure that links open in the app if the app is available and fallback on opening on the site. Sharing to social media is also giving me a headache, but that's due to my stack.

Thanks. Don't know of anything made specifically for learning Chinese unfortunately, but I do hope to extend my project to include Asian languages someday.

#170Project: An open source home automation solution. Currently, I have code for a thermostat (https://github.com/alittlebrighter/thermostat), garage doors (https://github.com/alittlebrighter/rpi-garage-doors, android client: https://gitlab.com/igor-automation/garage-door-remote-androi...), and a bare bones webcam (code inside of the garage doors repo). Planned features are a unified client for each service and then remote control via encrypted configurations stored in Firebase.
