You can be tricked, manipulated, robbed and even humiliated and more — without even leaving the comfort of your home. Because in today's hyper-connected world, vulnerability has gone digital. From phishing emails and social media scams to deepfakes and data breaches, the battleground isn't the street - it's your screen. All it takes is one click, one message, one moment of misplaced trust. The internet is the new wild west - a (digital) world of opportunities and dangers - while some of these are easier to navigate and understand - others are others are cleverly concealed, preying on our psychology in ways most users never even notice. It's just not easy getting started! And Vulkan is a real challenge - especially if you've had a look at even the simplest code example - it boasts being a new api that gives the power to the developes - but with that power comes extra work. This text is about trying to simplify that! WebGPU API enables high-performance 3D graphics and data-parallel computation on the web. After a decade of WebGL bringing 3D graphics to the web and enabling all sorts of new experiences, the WebGPU API breaks away from the norm and provides a long awaited upgrade to help developers take full advantage of modern graphics cards. WebGPU takes you closer than ever before to the hardware and lets you unlock the power of compute shader for web.

12 Games of Christmas - Christmas, Games, Code and Fun


• Crafting 12 fun mini-games, each themed around Christmas traditions, stories, or festive fun
• Every game is a fun activity – blending storytelling with playful mechanics
• Exploring genres: puzzles, word games, riddles, role-play adventures, and lighthearted simulations
• Using Christmas themes (snowmen, reindeer, elves, gingerbread houses) as characters and settings
• Building challenges that encourage imagination – from writing dialogue for Santa's helpers to inventing magical quests
• Designing games that can be played solo or shared with friends and family during the holidays
• Adding twists: time-limited challenges, "secret gift reveals", or collaborative storytelling rounds
• Incorporating humor and whimsy – games that make players laugh while they create
• Encouraging creativity and invent a new holiday tradition (writing small christmas games)
• Wrapping it all up with a 12-day journey where each game feels like opening a new present

• All games are designed to be lightweight, fun, and easy to play anywhere.
• The concepts can be adapted and extended (springboad for bigger things).




Creating twelve fun memorable games this Christmas! Each game is full of festive charm, while also teaching you something about storytelling, game development, and the joy of play. The 12 Games of Christmas aren’t just about coding; they’re about designing experiences that evolve, surprise, and delight players day after day. It’s about crafting puzzles, adventures, and playful interactions that feel intuitive yet endlessly engaging – little worlds that invite laughter, wonder, and connection. Writing these games means understanding people as much as mechanics, and designing moments that make the holiday season unforgettable.
