It's been a journey!

Hi! This is Donovan from vision.rodeo. A while back I set up the site to document what as I learn how to build apps for the platform. The first post covered how to create a (very basic) Jenga game in visionOS. Since then I’ve actually got my hands on a device, learned a lot, and launched a real playable version of the game.

You can get the game here for a special launch price of just €/$1.99!
