Hey everyone 👋,
Exited to share Typster, a typing game built using desktop compose. It's been a really fun journey while building this up. Leaned about game loop, audio streams and many other essentials things around jvm and desktop environment.

Do check it out guys :)

cool stuff! I love implementing a small game to get familiar with a technology 🕹️🤓

[Abhinav]

Yeah it was definitely fun 😄 building this up.
PS - This is the first game I ever built

[Stephan Schröder]

something I thought while trying the game, is that the effect of typing is immediate while the actual bullets only hit slightly later. You could change out the bullets for a laser (or if that's too boring for lightning-> a broken line) to make the graphical effect also immediate.

[Abhinav]

Yes that is an issue. Actually the bullets take some time to reach the word I need to fix that up. Lightening sounds awesome but wondering how to produce that kind of effect in compose

[Stephan Schröder]

a "laser" would be a single Line from start to target, "lightning" would be a brocken up line, so many line segments/ individual calls to drawLine.
