Having spent a lot of time on Paul Hudson’s Hacking With Swift website while I was learning SwiftUI, I had try this app. There are plenty of tutorial challenges to try for free. These challenges are varied entry level computer concepts and this makes the free version of the app worth it for people to see if they like playing with these techniques. I enjoyed them enough that for me it was easily worth the paid one time fee to continue on. I'm glad you're enjoying Hacktivate! There are a huge range of challenges in the game, and my brain is always thinking up new surprises 😎 Having spent a lot of time on Paul Hudson’s Hacking With Swift website while I was learning SwiftUI, I had try this…from apps.apple.com

  Strange Attractors▲804

  I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

  Autism Simulator▲779

  Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
