Calculator apps should have achievements, like “Pressed clear 5 times”, and “You could have done this in your head”.

"Did you really just add two single digits?"

Sometimes I do stuff that torpedoes my confidence so hard that, yes, I need to double check that 2 + 2 really does equal 3.

~Today I relearned how bad I am with (de-)soldering, and wasted money on some hall effect joysticks for my now-trashed xbox controller. If you need me, I’ll be in the corner crying.~

Now I want a calculator app that insults you the whole time.

Well now I have something else to add to my pile of half completed projects. sigh

You just came up with a brilliant idea for a narrative game

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Too bad I have absolutely zero idea how to make a game. Or an app. Or software at all, actually.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

first you get a concept, then you write a story, then you put some branches in it, then you figure out how to code it and whether it's plausible given current gaming/app tech. then you revise and repeat.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Coding would be the issue for me. The rest I could probably do though if I really wanted to.

I’m not looking to be crucified by all of Lemmy.

It's maybe a good way to learn? I don't know, all I had was a book on BASIC in the 80s and it never made sense. Syntax error line 30 doesn't really help when you're 9

Fair enough. I don’t know enough either way to have an educated opinion.
