Re: BobaVim — I built a browser game to help you speedrun Vim motions (solo + 1v1 modes)

For the moment; i only focused on vim motions. I agree with you, the game have to be more complete for advanced player, i will working on it !

Is it only about vim motions or other normal mode commands as well?

You're not going to get much value from motions only.

Hey everyone,

I just launched BobaVim, a browser-based game designed to help you learn and master Vim motions through fast-paced challenges and races.

Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned Vimmer looking to sharpen your skills, you can play solo to train or jump into 1v1 duels to compete in real time. The game includes:

• A built-in tutorial & manual

• A leaderboard to track your progress

• A set of handcrafted levels focused on real Vim usage

This is my small tribute to Bram Moolenaar and the amazing legacy he left through Vim. His work has had a huge impact on how I approach software and productivity.

I built BobaVim using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Go, and along the way I learned a ton about client prediction, real-time multiplayer, and concurrency. Happy to share more about the tech stack if anyone's curious.

I'd love to hear what you think, and I'm always open to feedback or ideas for improvement!

Cheers,
Florent
