Join us for "Creating a TUI Chat App using Websockets", presented by Michael Duren, Software Engineer at Maximus. Michael will be presenting in-person.

Golang methodology is notorious for simplicity and building your own tools. In this meetup, we will dive into how websockets actually work by briefly reviewing the RFC6455 standard, implementing a simple websocket with go’s net/http package and then building a TUI chat app with charmbracelet/bubbletea. After this meetup, you will have a better understanding of how websockets work, how to implement them in Go, and create simple applications all without touching a front-end framework or the web browser.

Agenda

• 5:30pm - 6pm: Networking, food & drink, and announcements
• 6pm - 7:15pm: Creating a TUI Chat App using Websockets - Michael Duren
• 7:15pm - 7:30pm - Open Discussion

Grow Your Sales

Every third Wednesday at 6:30pm CT.

In-person at Noble Robot and online on YouTube.

An evening of in-development games! Come to play, watch, or demo! Video games, board games, whatever games, we want to see what you're working on! Want your game tested on-site or on-stream? See the #events-info channel on the IGDATC Discord server for complete details.

___________________________________________

COVID policy: You must be vaccinated to visit Noble Robot. Face masks are no longer required to attend this event, but do not attend if you feel sick (with anything). There are extra masks available on-site if you would like one. Read more about COVID-19 policies for our events in the #events-info channel on the IGDATC Discord server.

___________________________________________

Live testing of in-development games!

For in-person testing, developers can send a build of their game in advance to run on one of our machines, or bring their own laptop/materials. For the stream, developers only need to send a build to us. Online playtesters don’t download builds and do not need a streaming setup.

Ways to participate...

In-person:

Attendee/playtester: Come by and check out the games on display. Easy! Developer: First, let us know on our Discord server that you have a game to bring, then...

• For video games: we'll ask you to send us a working (or near enough!) build of your game.
• For tabletop games: let us know how many players and how much space you need, and then just bring in your materials before the event starts.

In order to guarentee a machine/space to run your game, to be featured on the stream, and have your playtest gameplay recorded for later review, you'll need let us know about your game before the event, but you are always welcome to just bring in a laptop or whatever without signing up in advance. If there's space available, we'll try to find playtesters for you!

Online:

Attendee: Watch (and comment) on YouTube! Easy! Developer: Same as the in-person instructions. For video games, as long as you send us a build to run on the machines here, you don't need to attend the event in order to playtest your game.
