Me when refactoring: Why did I write this, it's so stoopid, the math is all wrong, let me fix this.
Me runs game and everything breaks: Ah, that's why 🗿

I found this game design course by the Radland designer: daniel.games
It’s very good. Even though I create niche solo puzzle games that I self publish (the course seems to be targeting multiplayer game designers that want to get published), almost all of the articles rang true

Godot prides itself in being welcoming to new contributors, letting any engine user have the possibility to make an impact on their engine of choice.

Maintainers spend a lot of time assisting new contributors to help them get PRs in a mergeable state.

I don't know how long we can keep it up.

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.

If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

I suspect it might be illegal for me to get this working and not make a Lights Out clone on it as the first game?

This is Godot, communicating with a Launchpad Pro MK3 over Midi, using code I've made that lets me add extra effects, like the rainbow fade on pads and buttons 🎉🌈
