Hi DEV!
Could you recommend any ideas/frameworks/games for “Just for fun” coding?
In my normal Tech Lead role, I miss coding a lot, so I decided to spend some time next week coding just for fun. Not reading too much, not configuring servers too much, not promoting or selling the product — just good old code stuff! 💻🥳
I mainly worked with Next.js and PHP (it was the main tech for building web sites when I started 👵), but have touched a bit of everything.
What would be your advice?

Hi Kate, I like to use Codewars (codewars.com/) or Codingame (codingame.com/). Both are code-game sites, support PHP, and require no setup. You just pick and read a problem, then submit your solution and compare to others' solutions.
Thanks Daniel! I tried both and so far liked Codingame more. I decided to use a new programming language (Python) for me to have even more fun!
Glad you like it! I'm looking forward to learning Python as well in the near future, so maybe I'll see you on there.
Go through Wes' JavsScript 30 course. It's free and has 30 fun projects you can build using vanilla JS. Wes is a great teacher and the projects are a lot of fun!
You can try making a game with phaser, - what's more fun than a game? :)
Do you like playing with sound? Maybe something with ToneJS like a sequencer or a synthesizer
