Auth
Just a little bit of fun today… Auth is mostly done (i.e. sign up, log in), but there are still the annoying things like forgot password, sending emails etc. I’ll save those for last.
I want to allow people to get in and play around without having to fill out a sign up form and verify their account. However, it’s not the sort of game that you’ll want to start over each time you play. The idea is to explore, collect, level up etc, so you’ll be able to properly sign up and log in to an account as well. There will also be a way to retrieve an account with a code.
I’ll have a job running to delete accounts that are several days old and haven’t been verified yet.
The good new is, now that this boring stuff is out of the way, I can get onto networking and then the battle system.
I can’t believe it’s been almost a week already… I watched a video of some games from another, 48 hour, game jam, and they looked amazing. I’m not sure how some of them were done in only two days, unless they used a ton of off the shelf assets, or had a team. Although, I shouldn’t underestimate the simple efficiencies of not having external responsibilities that can slow you down (e.g. job, family).
Even if I don’t make it within the month, I’ll have made more progress than I had before. In fact, I made more progress in a day than I had up until that day! That’s the beauty of a challenge.
