Oh - and an added bonus - I can reuse the functionality I added to make testing new pieces and investing bugs so much easier! 🙌

Oh wow that is a huge increase - definitely very motivating! (And nice job!)
I've added 4 simplified matches so far and created "rocks" that I can use to block parts of the board.
It's still early, but it's starting to feel so much better. Lots more to go, but thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you! This was exactly the note I needed 🙂

This happened to me yesterday! 😂
Copied a whole file over that was working (in the same project!) and it suddenly started throwing all kinds of errors..
After a whole bunch of code digging I realized the new file was missing the extension 😵
Anywho - hope you figured it out!!

Current approach is to create a series of puzzles or challenges that *try* to teach just a concept or two.
Trying to achieve the above without adding a ton of additional functionality - but I'm starting to think that might be the easier route.
Tough choices!

Ha - this was me this morning returning to code I wrote just a couple weeks ago 😅 As Emily advised, I just backed away slowly - I don't think it noticed me.

In true Jon fashion, after taking this screenshot, I blundered my gryphon (or griffin, or griffon) and lost 🫠

Ah thank you! That's a great insight. I started on the settings toggle yesterday, but got side tracked to create a button that could fit languages with long strings (of course 😅).
Comforting to know that despite the button detour I'm on a good path - I hadn't considered the ease of testing angle!

🙌 Hi Lee - that's awesome! How did you find the process of translating? Any tips? Any gotchas? 😅
I am currently adding the functionality to toggle language in my solo dev project.. the effort seems to keep growing the more I do, though, ha.
