My name is Jayotis and I always wanted to make video games but for one reason or another I didn't have the opportunity until now. I also enjoy math and old project dealing with strategies in games of chance is starting to show promise so I built a game around it. I am building a launch page but the docs say to snoop around first so here I am. Links in the profile, its free and open source as I am trying to earn a reputation as #1 game maker :)
I need lots of help as the project has many facets now but make due with ai. I would like to replace all the ai stuff with real art but I need people to see it first.
I challenge other math people to devise your own strategies and build a competing combinations server :) There is also a mini-games section(coming soon) where people can make their own games to search for claims with! So I guess its a game platform inside a game... ya
Anyhoo, let me know what you think! Thanks for the read!

Once upon a time, developing for Apple was an exciting, rewarding challenge. But lately, that relationship has soured.

Apple has transformed into a trillion-dollar giant that sees developers not as partners, but as a resource to control, extract from, and when convenient ignore.

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.

We re all builders here, which usually means at some point we looked at something clunky, slow, or frustrating and thought, there has to be a better way. Most products don t start with a grand vision; they start with irritation, curiosity, or firsthand pain.

I d love to learn more about how others here have navigated that journey:

How did you uncover the problem you decided to work on?
What signals told you this problem was worth solving?
How did you validate (if at all) whether people would actually pay for a solution?
Has your product stayed true to the original problem, or did it evolve into something different?
What surprised you the most along the way?
