My hope is that there will be both a 2 person and 4 person version of the game. But, since my first goal is for my wife and I to be able to play side by side, I will be focusing on the 2 player version and add the ability to have up to 4 players later. https://blog.draftsofcode.dev/posts/100daysofcode_daily_log/ Mon, 29 Mar 2021 23:15:10 -0400 https://blog.draftsofcode.dev/posts/100daysofcode_daily_log/ 100 Days Of Code - Log Day 1: Monday, March 29, 2021 Today’s Progress: Wrote blog post announcing #100DaysOfCode. Thoughts: Getting Hugo set up was pretty straightforward. However, I ran into challenges hosting on Render.com and decided to switch over to Netlify. My biggest challenge on Render.com is that after a few commits, it stopped watching the github repository and wouldn’t rebuild the site.

We have played a competitive game of scrabble several times per week for the vast majority of those 22 years. We started with the traditional scrabble board and then moved on to the Scrabble App on iOS devices. We loved this version of Scrabble. We used the “Play and Pass” option which allowed us to play using the same iPad. https://blog.draftsofcode.dev/posts/my-first-post/ Sat, 27 Mar 2021 17:39:43 -0400 https://blog.draftsofcode.dev/posts/my-first-post/ The summer I turned nine years old, I took a computer programming course geared towards children. I spent three months learning logo basic. This experience helped me to develop stronger critical thinking skills. Fast-forward to today, after 23 years of “hand on keyboard” software development and 29 years in IT and I have thought of so many hobby projects that I would love to spend time building. However, career and life will sometimes get in the way.
