🏁 LUDO ARENA: THE DEV LOG 🎲
Yo gang! Building this Ludo Mini App has been a whole cardio workout for my brain.
We finally got the bot talking and the board rendering, but man, the bugs were trying to gatekeep us.
Here’s the "Wall of Shame" and how we flexed on these errors:
1. The "Ghost Files" (Module Not Found)
The Bug:
The Cause: trying to import a "brain" (service) that ... hadn't actually built yet. It’s like trying to start a car with no engine.
The Fix: .. had to manually create the userService.js and link it.
2. The "Terminal Identity Crisis" (mkdir -p)
The Bug:
The Cause: Using Linux commands (mkdir -p) in a Windows PowerShell neighborhood. PowerShell don't play that way.
The Fix: Switched to a real PowerShell loop script to force create those folders.
3. The "Tailwind v4 Jump Scare" (The px-6 Mystery)
The Bug: Error:
The Cause: THIS was the one bugging me the most. I accidentally ended up on Tailwind v4, which changed the whole game. It didn't recognize the old CSS rules and started panicking.
The Fix: "downgraded" back to v3, fixed the content array in tailwind.config.js, and suddenly the styles came back to life.
4. The "Ghostly Grid" (Empty Content)
The Bug:
The Cause: Tailwind was looking at our files like "I don't see any CSS here, boss."
The Fix: Pointed the config to ./src/app and ./src/components. Now it actually sees our Ludo grid.
5. The "No Member Left Behind" (TypeScript Exports)
The Bug:
The Cause: The classic "forgot to export." The file existed, but the index.ts hub was gatekeeping it.
The Fix: Added the export lines to the index.ts hub so the whole app could see the components.
Current Status:
✅ SQLite Gang is Winning ✅ Tailwind is Tamed ✅ Next.js is Cooking 🚀 Ludo Arena is 65% Loaded...

Here’s the "Wall of Shame" and how we flexed on these errors:
1. The "Ghost Files" (Module Not Found)
The Bug:
Error: Cannot find module '../services/userService'

The Fix: .. had to manually create the userService.js and link it.
2. The "Terminal Identity Crisis" (mkdir -p)
The Bug:

The Cause: Using Linux commands (mkdir -p) in a Windows PowerShell neighborhood. PowerShell don't play that way.

3. The "Tailwind v4 Jump Scare" (The px-6 Mystery)

4. The "Ghostly Grid" (Empty Content)
The Bug:
warn - The content option is missing or empty.
The Cause: Tailwind was looking at our files like "I don't see any CSS here, boss."

5. The "No Member Left Behind" (TypeScript Exports)
The Bug:
Module has no exported member 'GameHeader'
The Cause: The classic "forgot to export." The file existed, but the index.ts hub was gatekeeping it.
The Fix: Added the export lines to the index.ts hub so the whole app could see the components.
