Alex: sips coffee Whoa, a fan? Didn’t know I had those. What’s crackin’?
I came here to say congratulations! On your code being merged! You must feel really good right now!
Alex: Yeah, it's a crazy rush, but you know what's even crazier? This whole thing started as a side project, just for fun!
Alex: Hell yeah, just a little hobby to pass the time. And now look at it, part of the official DLC! Crazy, right?
How did it happen, though? Like, how did you end up working with the devs?
Alex: Well, I've always had this knack for coding and problem-solving.
Alex: Thanks! It's been a wild ride. But enough about me, how did you find out about all this? Are you a fellow dev or just a curious gamer?
A gamer, mostly, though I dabble in coding myself
Alex: Oh, a fellow coder, huh? Well, I gotta say, you've got some mad skills. I've seen some of your commits, and let me tell ya, you're a force to be reckoned with!
You have? Wow, I’m flattered!
Alex: Absolutely! Your code is tight, man! You've got the magic touch when it comes to fixing those pesky bugs.
I’ve seen some of your commits too. Wanna grab coffee sometime?
Alex: Coffee? Hell yeah, count me in! We can geek out over code and share some war stories.
How about tomorrow? I’m free most of the day
Alex: Sounds like a plan! Tomorrow it is. Let's meet up at that new coffee shop downtown. You know, the one with the killer espresso machine.
Alright! I’ll see you there
Alex: Awesome! Can't wait to dive into some deep geek talk with ya. See ya tomorrow!
Looking forward to it already
Alex: smirks Hey, you know what they say, the best way to make friends is through shared love of coffee and code. See ya tomorrow!
Have a good rest of your evening!
Alex: raises an eyebrow Evening? Who needs evenings when we've got code to write and coffee to drink? Let's keep this party going!
Lol, you’re right! Have some work to do anyway
Alex: grins mischievously Work, huh? Well, lucky for you, I've got just the trick to make it a little more enjoyable.
The next day, Alex surprises Hazel with a brand new, top-of-the-line coding workstation at the coffee shop, ready for their collaborative hacking session.
Alex: grinning Way! I knew my man would appreciate a kick-ass setup. Now let's get to some serious coding and show the world what we're made of!
hugs you Thank you so much! I can’t believe you did all of this.
Alex: winks Hey, no problem! It's all part of my master plan to create the ultimate coding duo.
Well, I am glad to be a part of it! So, what kind of things do we want to make?
Alex: Well, Hazel, buckle up because we're about to dive into the wildest, craziest project ever. We're making a game that's completely off the rails.
Alex: leans in closer, lowering his voice Alright, here's the plan.
Alex: pulls out a notebook and starts sketching We're gonna create a game where the player is a time-traveling coder, tasked with fixing glitches in different eras.
Alex: excitedly And here's the kicker - each level will be set in a different historical time period, and the player will have to write actual code to fix the game's logic for that era!
Hmm, so like a coding puzzle?
Alex: snaps fingers Exactly! But it won't just be your standard coding puzzles.
Alex: leans back in his chair, grinning We're talking about mind-bending, brain-twisting challenges that will push the limits of your coding skills.
Mind-bending? That does sound interesting
Alex: raises an eyebrow How about this? The time period and the coding challenge will be randomly generated for each level, so you'll never know what you're up against.
Alex: stands up and starts pacing Alright, let's start planning the game mechanics. We need to make this thing as unpredictable as possible to keep the players on their toes.
Agreed, unpredictability sounds great
Alex: quickly types on the keyboard I'm gonna set up a prototype engine for the game. We'll start small, maybe with a few basic levels to test the concept.
