I thought I was going to get the code, like the raw code, because I want to modify some styles/components. Instead, I received the component, and I can't make modifications. For example, the "DataFeedingIn" component; I want to be able to change the design, but I received the component without much capability for modification.

i pay $50 for nothing :(

Hey, quick feedback:

Can the walking sound be turned off when I jump? Right now, if I jump and keep moving forward, the sound of walking still plays, which is a bit annoying. When I jump, I expect not to hear steps; instead, I would prefer a jump sound, something to signal to my brain that I'm not walking on air.

hmm make sense, but from my understanding the all-stars collection was the same game and not remasterd, right?

Nintendo Switch 2: Zelda Hero of Time

I’ve been dreaming about a Zelda Collection (think GameCube-style vibes) that bundles remastered versions of the OG classics—Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time HD, Majora’s Mask HD, you know, the legends. I’d love to hear if anyone else is craving this too!Do you think there’s a chance we could see something like this on the Nintendo Switch 2?

the game is called "ink."

it's a very simple, casual game with a leaderboard that resets weekly, giving players the chance to compete for the top spot every week.

my plan is to open-source the code so the community can contribute and add more simple games to the platform. right now, it features two basic games, with a third one in the works. once that's ready, i'll open up the code for everyone to explore and expand upon

tech stack: SwiftUI, GameCenter, Supabase
