Stack: WASM + Rust + MacroquadI saw that a company had posted a cool job ad where you had to apply directly via a REST API. That gave me the idea to gamify my resume as well.Since I was bored, I vibe coded a bit and voilà, the result was ready.I think it's something new and fun that might put a smile on people's faces.(Please don't spam my email address, but feel free to send me an email with your high score if you want!)
