Thank you everyone who played the game yesterday and gave me feedback! Today I was able to focus on making the game better, and that content was very helpful to me.
It's the final day of my Solo Game Jam Challenge, I'm tired, I dream of demons and villages and buildings, but I did make a game! It took me approximately 40 hours over 5 days. I had a great deal of pleasure working on this game, as, like I said in my introduction post, I've wanted to create a village builder for a while.

What's better than having 1 issue on your open source project? You guessed it: having 2 issues. But what's even better than having 2 issues? ONE PULL REQUEST! And because my Benjamins are very thoughtful friends, today I reached both numbers in my village builder's repository. A grand day indeed! :tada:

I hope you all liked losing yesterday? I sure enjoyed watching those demons bath in your blood. But I have to admit, I believe losing is vastly overrated. I for one prefer winning a lot more!
Thus, today I'm going to make this a game that you can WIN.

This is Day 2 of my Jam, and it's time to make my game an actual game. Meaning, it's time to LOSE. It's not a game if there's no challenge, as you might have realized if you played the Day 1 prototype.
Time to put some demons in my game…

Starting on a new project is always a very exciting moment: it's full of discovery and of very satisfying moments. If you're like me, you start small, and each new brick you add is simple: you get a great sense of accomplishment seeing those new elements pop up and work together. It is a time of pleasure, a time far from the rage and anguish of impossible bugs, code refactors and algorithmic headaches.
But I'm not worried, I know I'm getting there!

I haven't made a game in a long while, and I want to get back in shape. I thus declare that now is the time to make my own solo game jam! Starting this Monday, I will spend the next 5 days working full time on a game that I want to make. And each evening when I'm done working, I'll write a blog post to explain what I did, what went wrong, etc.

On the weekend of October 5, a few friends and I participated in the 45th Ludum Dare, a Gam Jam competition happening online, with people from all over the world joining in. We made a game that we called The Last Word (read our Ludum Dare entry or play it on itch.io), and today I'm going to tell you the story of how that happened.

Last year, in a React side-project, I had to replace some content in a string with HTML markup. That is not a trivial thing to do with React, as you can't just put HTML as string in your content, unless you want to use dangerouslySetInnerHtml — which I don't. So, I hacked a little code to smartly split my string into an array of sub-strings and DOM elements.
More recently, while working on Translate.Next — the rewrite of Pontoon's translate page to React — I stumbled upon the same problem. After looking around the Web for a tool that would solve it, and coming up short handed, I decided to write my own and make it a library.
