introduction:

Originally created as a standalone CLI app (drafted in bash / completed in Python) for getting better at skateboarding (in real life, as well as in video games like Session: Skate Sim and Skater XL). I always wanted to develop a libadwaita app, so this became the perfect challenge for me to turn it into my first GTK app as a non-programmer!

features:

• Three levels of difficulty (easy, medium, hard) and random mode
• Type of modules: stance, direction, spin, flip, grind, lateflip & ground tricks
• Named tricks (example: Fakie BS 360 -> Full Cab)

resources (for absolute beginners):

• Built using GNOME Builder's Python template
• Welcome To GNOME portal for cloning and studying completed / published Python apps
• Workbench by Sonny Piers
• GeopJr's GTK4 development guide (primarily focused on the Crystal language, but offers invaluable transferable knowledge on the start-to-end process of preparing and developing a GTK4 app)
