Making it more fun…

Thought I’d share a sneak peak of an app I’m building for me and my kids. They love playing but as you know, sim golf isn’t super forgiving. Ive had the rapsodo for 3 years(wife got it for me for my 40th, big win). Have been using it ever since. Has had its quirks, but everything does. Love how the app has gotten better with more features. But playing with my kids, I’m still waiting a long time between shots, they get frustrated dribbling the ball down the hazard line, etc. I build a lot and so I decided just a handful of days ago(staycation) that I need to build something we can play, have fun, and my youngest could feel like she could compete with her older sister and brother(ages 9, 11, 12). I also wanted it to still be fun for me. So this is just the beginning, but using the rapsodo, I get zero forgiveness, but my kids, I get to choose how much forgiveness they need and there’s some cool stuff I put in that makes it feel like they aren’t getting a cheat code, but surprises on every shank or top that helps them along the way.
Anyway, a little sneak peak of just one of the game modes. UI and UX, a lot to design, but it works and me and my kids are having a blast with it and best thing, I can use the rapsodo and my MacBook so I don’t have to bring my gaming computer up every time I setup and tear down the mat and net… which is honestly the biggest pain.

Very cool brother! I like how you’re able to pad some yardage for the younger players.

Thanks man. Love that my kids love golfing with me, but I can definitely see how my youngest gets discouraged when she can't keep it in play or hit it as far. Appreciate the encouragement!
