hi again! i finally started working on my new project Online Games!!

the idea is basically to make a bunch of simple multiplayer games that you can play with friends/family online while also being able to video call them. the first game im making is gonna be Spot It / Dobble.

so i started with the main menu because i wanted it to actually look like a real mobile app instead of just a bunch of buttons.

i made a scrolling game library with a navbar at the top and 2 game cards per row. the navbar also scrolls with the games because i thought that looked better.

i also started making the Spot It card. it has rounded corners, an image, and the game title. im using containers for basically everything so it stays centered and works on different phone sizes.

godot’s UI system was kinda annoying at first because stuff would look perfectly centered in the editor and then move when i actually ran the game. eventually i figured out that some of the container sizing was wrong.

next im gonna make it so clicking a game opens a little menu with the game info and create game / join game buttons.

after that we can finally start working on the actual multiplayer and video chat stuff.
