Bop It - Creating a Game in Power Apps

In case you havent read my blogs before, Im big on levaging personal projects to learn and improve. And for me the best projects are the crazy ones, that push your problem solving skills, and building games in a enterprise app builder is the apitmy of 'square peg in a round hole'. When working on business solution I often find the following Repetative solutions Time constraints push for 'non creative solutions' Complex challenges bypassed or 'bodged' instead of proper fix This is great for productivity, but doesn't allow the engineer to learn new techniques or create the best solution for the problem (80 / 20 rule). Personal projects have no timeline and no security/coding standards requirments, so you can push boundries and invest time purely in the solution. Knowing it will never go into production is kind of liberating, who needs exception handling when we don't care about exceptions
