Welcome to Too Long ; Didn't Play! This application is meant to help those, like me, who are gamers with a full-time job, to find their next gaming experience without committing days to get the full experience. This application was a passion project aimed at honing some of my software development skills while solving this problem.
In the process of creating TL;DP, I utilized the RAWG API to create my own tailored database of video games, implemented my own API endpoint following OPEN API specifications, conducted JUnit Testing, built out a clean and easy to use UI, and ultimately had a lot of fun.
If you're interested in checking out just the backend of the application or the Python work I did to create the database, feel free to explore my TLDP-Core and TLDP-Database repositories (respectively).
I'll also be adding a demo and overview of TL;DP to my YouTube channel.

- Additional Filtering: Tailor your search by platform, genre, and age to nail down the exact type of game you are looking for.
- Interactive Results: Explore the results of the search and click through each game to see an expanded title image as well as a description.
- RAWG API: Used to source data for custom video game database.
