The series officially rebrands from ToolUp Tuesday to ToolUp Days, giving Chris and Matt the flexibility to keep a consistent cadence. This episode focuses on rethinking the game's data model — simplifying the player state object, introducing a BarType enum, and scaffolding both a player creation API and a bar management controller, with GitHub Copilot generating much of the boilerplate in real time.

In this session, Chris explores how GitHub is more than just a Git repository, and how he uses it for his own work: GitHub Issues / Projects to plan the content (Blog & Podcast) backlog GitHub repositories to version control the website's source code (and recently open sourced the theme) GitHub Codespaces to make changes to the site from any device GitHub actions to build/deploy the site, and publish podcast mp3 files

In this post, I'll be talking about how to use interfaces in Go. This is a continuation of my learning using the Go language. I'll use interfaces to create an application that interacts with several types of bank accounts.

Chris and Matt wire up Dapr state management for their .NET player state service, configure VS Code debugging for multi-service development, and document game use cases covering player enrollment, world event ticks, and decision lifecycle.

I'll be transparent. The purpose of this post is to help with my own understanding of the Go & and * operators. It's going to be a very short post, and I'm going to try to explain the concepts in a way that I can understand. I've used these operators in C previously, but whenever I'm using them - I always end up having to remember the syntax / which operator is which / what they do. For whatever reason, it doesn't always come intuitively to me.

Over the past few weeks, I have been working on a new set of pet projects. I've wanted to learn Go for a while, so I thought this could be a great opportunity to get hands on and try it out. It's fair to say that my development environment was 'functional', but I wanted to revisit it to make sure that I could get the best out of it. In this blog post, I'm going to walkthrough the process of setting up Go on my machine, and then the experience of using Visual Studio Code and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with Ubuntu.

Chris and Matt refactor their Go player decisions API, restructuring packages and project layout. They compare the Gin and Gorilla Mux HTTP frameworks, explore Go interfaces and dependency injection patterns, and discuss unit testing and mocking strategies in Go.

Chris and Matt dive into Go (Golang) for the first time on stream, building a player decisions REST API for their game project. They explore Go fundamentals including structs, pointers, packages, and the Gin HTTP framework while comparing Go patterns to C# and .NET conventions.
