Devlog #1

I’m still kind of new to all of this so please bear with me! (How does one format a devlog? Is it like a READme?)

This project (as the project title somewhat suggests) houses several robotics (specifically FIRST Robotics) themed games. I guess you can think of it as a neal.fun knockoff for robotics (but maybe not as fun).

I did start this project before Stardance, but I didn’t get too much done with it before. The majority of the time I have spent thus far (after the start of Stardance) was spent familiarizing myself with Next JS and Tailwind as I have really only used React JS and Native along with straight CSS files before.

I tried going for the effect that large companies (mainly Google from what I’ve seen) have done with their buttons and other parts of their UI with a gradient effect with their border. I think it’s coming along pretty nicely but Tailwind has a lot of constraints that make replicating it nicely very annoying (either that or I’m just not good at Tailwind).

I’ve also created four buttons so far with the same border gradient effect with each button leading the user to a different game page (none of them are set up yet and each one might take a bit). You do have to scroll down to see the buttons so they aren’t included in the screenshot of the landing page.

(Please name suggestions please. Flux is just an arbitrary name I chose.)
