I chose to make a port of old game - The Settlers II in Elixir. Being more specific I will focus only (or mainly) on backend. Why?
< ul >
< li > I've never made any "serious" app in Elixir/Erlang/F# any other functional language - this seems like a good opportunity< / li >
< li > I feel like this is the good way of learning Elixir itself< / li >
< li > Creating backend only will force me to solve some challenging design problems< / li >
< li > UI will be easily changeable, so anyone can make their own version of game. Imagine The Settlers 2 in space, or Stone Age!< / li >
< li > I feel like there's not enough "nice" code in the GameDev world. One project won't make a difference, but won't hurt as well< / li >
< li > It's a scary challenge< / li >
< li > I love this game< / li >

I will deep dive into details with next posts. Also, expect at least one commit per week! Here's < a href = "https://github.com/Dreat/OpenSettlersII" > repository < / a > for the project on GitHub for you to follow.
