As a backend developer, my role in building Dialogue Duels, a web-based game that challenges players to type out translations based on prompts in a foreign language, was focused on designing and implementing the database and server infrastructure. Throughout the development process, there were a number of challenges that I faced, but one stands out as particularly difficult.

The biggest challenge we faced was in designing the game logic itself. We wanted to create a system that was both fun and engaging, but also fair and challenging for players of different skill levels. It required a lot of brainstorming and testing different ideas, as well as revisiting the initial concept several times.

Despite the challenges, I am proud of what we were able to accomplish. I believe that Dialogue Duels has the potential to be a valuable tool for language learners looking to practice their skills in a fun and competitive way. It was also a great opportunity for me to improve my own skills as a developer and to work on a project that has the potential to help others.

Looking back on the project, there are certainly things that I would do differently if given the chance. For one, I would have liked to have spent more time on user testing and gathering feedback from a wider audience. It’s important to know what users really think and feel about your product, especially when you are trying to make something that is both fun and educational.

Overall, working on Dialogue Duels was a positive experience for me. I learned a lot about web development, project management, and collaboration. I also gained a better appreciation for the challenges involved in building a product from the ground up. While there were certainly moments of doubt and frustration, I feel that the end result is something that we can all be proud of.
