One player draws something, and the others have to guess the word. Pretty simple idea, but getting everything to work properly is another story. </p> <p>I built it using Next.js and Socket.IO. Along the way, I've been dealing with things like game rooms, player connections, drawing functionality, and making the game work properly on mobile.</p> <p>There are still things I want to improve, but I thought I'd share it here rather than keep working on it quietly.</p> <p>If you want to give it a try, here's the link:</p> <p>👉 <a href="https://playscribble.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://playscribble.com/</a></p> <p>I'm also planning to share some of the problems I run into while building it. Hopefully, other developers working on similar projects might find those posts useful.</p> <p>Anyway, that's what I've been working on lately.</p> <p>Would love to hear what you think. 🙂</p> gamedev javascript nextjs showdev
