Ask HN: How would I get started with this project?
So I am in a dev bootcamp and I am in my last few weeks which means final project time.
I have always been a big gamer so my idea was to build a mini-game where you simulate a hacker. Think the movie Hackers type hacker.
I am thinking a simplified front end with a few buttons as actions you can do. I think it's best to keep it in the style of a mobile game meaning stamina type counter and time management.
I am reaching out on Reddit to see if anyone can help me in getting started and going in the right direction.
I haven't done a full scale project yet we have just dealt with small projects.
Can anyone help me in putting together my next steps and what type of planning I need to do?
For reference I know the following in a junior level capacity: > JavaScript > jQuery > HTML/CSS (I was thinking of using picnic.css) > Ruby > Ruby on Rails
My idea was to start it in Ruby only and make it a command line game but I think that is a bit counter-productive since I want to use all my skills so I can push my skillset.
Any help is appreciated!!
