Hello Forums, long time no see.
Life’s intruded very rudely the past month so I haven’t been here as much as I had hoped to be. Still - it seems to be slowing a bit, so I’m hopeful! Which brings me to my next point.
I’ve a general “can i? cant i?” type of question that I’m sure many of you have heard a ton of times. But let me just state here that I’d like this project idea I’m about to discuss something I can work on continuously as a “fun version” with no due dates etc… while I do codecademy, look into scrimba, and other coding areas i can find that dont cost and arm and a leg. I’m determined to make my learning process both fun, rewarding, and have a future at the end for finding a career!
Anyways, let me get to the point!
My friend and I are big gamers in the PC world - mostly survival games that deal with taming/training/breeding/battling the monsters/animals you catch. We both have a fierce love of horses, and survival games that make it challenging, and I - myself - continuously dabble in Sims 4 Horses for making CC. Which is what brings me to my idea.
I’d love to start crafting a browser based version of, not so much a mixture of all the above?. but more of a “draw in all the cool parts and see what happens” type of project experiment.
I’m thinking, of course, I’ll need databases to keep control and track of the horses people both register, buy, and sell. And one to keep track of users and their stables etc. One would prob be good for wild horses? if thats something to do? I’m super super super green at databases so thats something that isn’t happening until I find time to sit down and start learning that part
I plan for this to be just a long term, ongoing project if I can pull it off because I have a ton of ideas for things like: Wild Horse System, Training System, Show System, Retirement, then there’s the Breeding System with Trait, limited to specific breeds only, and of course the person side of things like - hm… in survival game terms… a temporary base and then an actual long-term base.
Of course, I’m leaning out a ton of other ideas but some more to squeeze in here would be: themed world/buildings, randomly created events that benefit all members in some way, breeding system with traits would definitely be a bit more in depth than your normal browser based horsey game, then the rpg aspects off it all. Like I said, a major brain full of ideas hence my longwinded posts here.
Just… a ton of ideas and not sure where to start.
I’m on the first part of Front End Engineer course in Codecademy right, on CSS Selectors (because they put me to sleep so im always going back to strugglebus my way through that section.) and I do want to learn Python, it looks fascinating to me,
Anyways, apologies! I ramble when I have a ton of thoughts circling my head and when its late late at night, early early morning? Oops.
I’d love everyone’s input even if it’s just to say “hi” or “cool idea” or “lrn moar noob” 
Goodnight fellow nerds
