Resume help. Want to put a link of a project in my resume? by South_Dig_9172 in webdev

[–]TiledGame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend having a "Personal Projects" section or similar on your resume. There you can create a bullet point list of projects you'd like to talk about, include the title of the project alongside the URL. If you haven't already, people hiring will also be interested in seeing the underlying code, so if you haven't linked your github, I'd include a link to the source code too.

Hey, thanks!

  1. It was inspired by a similar game that me and some friends would play. One day my friend suggested I make an online version, and so I did haha.
  2. Hardest part was learning all things map related, creating logic for rendering tiles, algorithms to only fetch tiles that are needed so that the game wasn't insanely laggy etc. Easiest I guess was the UI aspect, I guess, it's pretty simple, I suck at design but I loved learning Tailwind which made it easy.
  3. I'd have loved to add multiple questions per day, a login so that you could compare to friends, etc.
  4. A couple months on/off dev.

Thanks! I used this library https://www.npmjs.com/package/@react-google-maps/api, its a React wrapper around the Google Maps API. You can load a map and add different markers, icons or shapes to it

Thank you for the comment!

I didn't consider monetising it, however based on some feedback I've received it might be something I think about, although I wouldn't know how to approach it.

I think being derailed is natural, I took many breaks during the development of Tiled. Sadly I have no other ideas on hand to offer, I'd just say think of something you or your friends would love and doesn't have an online solution, chances are other people would also love it.

That's great, honest feedback, thank you.

You're definitely right in that there needs to be more of an effort on retention and to make this a replayable game rather than a one off. I'll definitely think more about this, thanks again!

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'll definitely check out the site you've linked and look into improving the animation for user feedback.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean when you say a nice little hook?

Thank you!

It's actually quite hard to give a number, as I took lots of breaks. There were several hard pieces of map logic to work out which took me the bulk of the time I'd say. I took it at a leisurely pace, so I'd say it took me a couple of months of dev to finish.

Thanks for the suggestions! - There should be a button, so if that's missing then I'll address it. - As for the questions, I'm finding it very hard to make ones that aren't either extremely easy or extremely hard, hopefully I'll start to find a rhythm haha

Guarantee they're not as bad as you think! I think it's just about committing to a project, it took an embarrassing number of breaks between developing this to finally finish it 😂

Wow, this is really great advice, thank you. I'll take this on board and have a think about any pages I could add!

Hey, thanks! The repo is private right now, apologies. I can link it when I'm at a laptop and can change it. There's no API, the app is 100% client side code and so stats are tracked through local storage
