Building a Pentomino Game Board in Phoenix LiveView

Creating interactive, real-time web games requires a solid grasp of state management and user input tracking. This text-based course teaches you how to build a dynamic pentomino puzzle game board using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView. You will transition from understanding basic LiveView rendering to managing complex, multi-directional shape manipulations and board collisions using clean, functional reducers. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational concepts of pentomino shapes, coordinates, and board representations in Elixir. - Track real-time user inputs and key events seamlessly within the Phoenix LiveView lifecycle. - Apply functional reducers to rotate, flip, and shift geometric shapes across a grid. - Manage game board state and detect valid placements or collisions. - Implement modern LiveView state updates to keep the interface synchronized without heavy JavaScript. This course begins with the absolute basics of grid coordination and shape representation before guiding you through input handlers and functional state transitions. You will read structured explanations and analyze clean code snippets to assemble a fully functioning puzzle mechanic. This program is designed for developers who are new to Phoenix LiveView or game state logic and want to learn functional programming patterns. No prior game development experience is required.
