Automated builds are a great way to produce consistent results, and to make a developer's life easier. In this post, I show how to use GitHub Actions to first create a release for a game, and then push that release to itch.io.
I am working on Auto Traffic Control, a video game for programmers. The game is played by writing code that interacts with the game through an API. This post explores the design of the API that connects the player's code, the API layer, and the game simulation.
Auto Traffic Control, fittingly abbreviated ATC, will be a video game for programmers about safely routing planes to an airport. It takes inspiration from the old school hit Flight Control, and adapts its game mechanics for programming.
At the beginning of 2022, I set the goal to experiment with different project ideas and technologies. I want to learn new things and build something, and after four weeks it is time to pause and reflect on the progress.
Yesterday, I was following along with the book Zero to Production to set up a web server in Rust. Today, I went rogue and added a background job system. All code quality metrics have dropped as a result.
After two days of mostly theoretical work, I felt like writing some code today. So I got my copy of the book "Zero to Production" and worked on the app's web server. As a result, the project is built with Rust now...
