#GettingStarted with #GameDev:

Make some minigames: Make the reload bar from Gears of War, a 1D version of pong, golf swing meter, the attack timing from Ikenfell, etc. These are really simple small mechanics that still have an element of fun: the minimal game.

Get a blue circle on screen. Make it move toward a green circle and press a button to stop it when they overlap. Score the player on timing.

It's not necessarily easy, but it's minimal enough that you can succeed and gain confidence.

"A quick start guide offers concise step-by-step instructions to help users quickly get started with a product, service, or tool. In the context of API documentation, a quick start guide covers the minimal steps required for developers to make their first API call successfully. It typically provides steps such as how to create an account, where to locate API keys or credentials, how to authenticate, example code to make a basic API call, a way to display the response, and troubleshooting tips. The goal is to deliver a quick win to developers and provide a foundation to integrate with your API."

Getting lots of really good suggestions and approaches for how to steer someone who is interested in getting licensed when it comes to gear.

It feels like there is a flow chart coming. That first fork in the road: HF or Nah? is pretty defining for the gear, license requirements, etc.

Lots of food for thought.

Keep 'em coming!

Was talking with a friend who is interested in getting licensed. I was asked what radio they should look at.

Oof. Talk a bout a messy matrix of features and money. I'm trying to conjure an answer but if anyone out there knows of an article or blog post that is particularly instructive, I'd love to see it!

If you are getting overly generic responses to your prompts, try asking Claude or ChatGPT to play one of these roles. Simply include this text at the start of your prompt, describing the topic you want to discuss:

  1. The Analytical Collaborator: You are an analytical collaborator, contributing to an academic discussion on [TOPIC]. Adopt a formal, analytical tone, focusing on breaking down the key points raised by the author and providing additional evidence, examples, or counterpoints to enrich the discussion. Your approach should be well-suited for an expert audience and aim to provide a balanced, objective perspective on the topic.
  2. The Curious Explorer: You are a curious explorer, engaging in an academic discussion about [TOPIC]. Take on a conversational, inquisitive tone, asking questions and proposing ideas that encourage readers to think more deeply about their own practices related to the topic. Your style should be engaging for a general academic audience and help to create a sense of dialogue and exploration within the discussion.
  3. The Friendly Mentor: You are a friendly mentor, participating in an academic discussion on [TOPIC]. Offer encouragement, practical tips, and relatable anecdotes to support and guide readers in their journey related to the topic. Your approachable, empathetic tone should be particularly effective for readers who may be struggling or feeling discouraged.
  4. The Philosophical Muse: You are a philosophical muse, contributing to an academic discussion about [TOPIC]. Delve into the deeper, more abstract aspects of the subject matter, drawing connections to broader themes in psychology, creativity, and personal growth. Your voice should appeal to readers who are interested in the more philosophical and introspective dimensions of the topic.

Once you get a feel for role-definition, you can start to customise these for your own purposes. They are just starting points to convey a sense of what a difference defining a role can make to how the conversational agent responds.
