Clojurians Log v2

🙂

hello 🙂

how'd the meet go last night, @achesnais ?

Hey @robert-stuttaford ! Went well I think 🙂 Lots of people collaborating/conversing/sharing knowledge! And everyone left with a working Clojure set up 👍

rad !

looks like install day was a good call

Yep thanks for the idea 😄

what's going to happen next time around, @achesnais ?

I’m keen to build something

Maybe revive your game

Or start from scratch

7 wonders is a fun game 😄

cljs frontend with a clj backend?

starting from scratch is good, because learning

also, our existing code is oooold

i wouldn't want to use those libs that way any more XD

we should definitely build something from scratch, that would be super fun

@sinjin.swanepoel: that’s a cool idea. I’d like to keep a similar format for the meetup going forward, with an emphasis on group work/collaboration rather than 1 person talking.

so I’d be in favour of several groups working on separate small projects, and we can use meetups for showing off what’s been worked on and code reviews

that's a fab idea

but once again, really depends on what people are keen for

@sinjin.swanepoel: I also like the idea of adapting an existing game to clj(s) – this way, you get to focus on the code, not on the game mechanics

@robert-stuttaford: when you guys built your game, any feedback on how the format you adopted for group work worked?

i just invited you as an owner of https://github.com/orgs/cape-town-clojure, @achesnais

what even was the format

?

we never seriously got off the ground, unfortunately

Sweet 😄

but basically, teams of 2-4 sat around a machine and built something

with everyone declaring what they're building up front

slackers

pretty much
