WebDev Challenge - S2E2


Listen Later

What could you create if you had 30 minutes to plan and 4 hours to build? Me,

Lane Wagner,
Sarah Shook, Nikki Meyers,
Shashi Lo, and
Nick Taylor took on the
Web Dev Challenge
to find out.

They picked the Napoleon Dynamite thumbnail for Lane and I 🤣

The Challenge
#

We lucked out and got a rad one.

Single player, multiplayer, cooperative, competitive, or something totally

different — your challenge is to come up with something fun that is played
across at least two
devices.

Temporal’s
workflow tools will allow you to manage sending information between devices
dependably.

Lane and I def

leaned into the "fun" portion
of the challenge.

We chose to try a game that uses the

camera video stream API
to feed faces to
Media Pipe (locally
running a face detection machine learning model) to flap a bird's wings in a
flappybird-like game.

A Temporal

workflow will
capture the game round and let us see all the player moves.

At least that's what we planned on…

    Temporal was pretty cool, but as

    you'll see in the video… we um, didn't figure that out til a bit later.

    I did get the pleasure to use a BenQ RD280U tho.

    The 4k 3:2 matte UHD display was really nice. They say it's made for coding, and

    I see what they mean.

    Plus, HDR content is awesome, and I could capture high quality UI captures and

    place lots of windows around.

    I got to take one home and try it out. It's light years ahead of the one I had

    before.

    The arm is super strong. There's tons of charging ports. It's a really great

    product.

    3D Bird

    Here's that 3D bird Codepen that's

    featured in the episode.

    The Results

    There were no winners or losers!

    We all had a blast; I'm lookin forward to seein the

    YouTube comments,
    maybe a 3D bird joke or two.
