Looking for Android testers: Footagent, a one-finger 3D football runner (I'll test yours back)

Hi DEV! I'm the developer of Footagent , a free 3D football runner for Android and iPhone, built with Godot. Google Play asks new developer accounts for 12 testers during 14 days before the public launch, so I'm looking for a few Android testers. The game in 20 seconds Your player runs on their own; you steer the dribble with one finger: Swipe left/right : switch lanes and cut past defenders…

Hey DEV! I'm the creator of Footagent, a free 3D football runner available on Android and iPhone, crafted with the Godot engine. Google Play has requested 12 Android testers for the upcoming launch, so I'm reaching out to find a few Android enthusiasts willing to give it a go. The game is simple to understand but challenging in practice: your player maneuvers on its own, and you control the ball using just one finger.

Swipe left or right to change lanes and outmaneuver defenders, swipe up to leap over obstacles and tackle, swipe down to nutmeg a defender or slip beneath a blocked row, and tap to shoot at the opponent directly in front of you. The game features 31 distinct worlds, from a street at age 5 to the world final at 27, encompassing 10 cities (Paris, Tokyo, Rio, Lagos, New Delhi...) and 12 extreme locations (Niagara Falls, Egypt, a volcano, Sky islands, Loop Valley). There's no energy system, no ads during gameplay, and it's fully playable offline.

To join the Android beta, simply join the Google Group at https://groups.google.com/g/footageny-testeurs and follow the instructions provided there. Alternatively, you can download the game directly from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.footagent.game. Once installed, tap "Become a tester" and keep the app installed for the required 14 days.

As for feedback, I'm particularly interested in your thoughts on the game's difficulty level. Is it too challenging or too straightforward? How responsive do the swipes feel on your device? If you encounter any crashes, slowdowns, or confusing menus, please let me know about them. Drop your own closed-test link in the comments section, and I'll join your test right alongside you.

Thank you in advance for your participation! You can find more information about the game at https://footagent.org, and an overview of its features at https://footagent.org/handbook.html.

When Cloudflare WAF detections fail, choose a rule response for each route

A security detection can fail before it decides whether a request is safe. That is a different event from a detection matching an attack.

  • The field is an array of strings, indicating failures reported by various detectors.
  • Use len(cf.appsec.request.faileddetections) gt 0 to match any reported failure in rule expressions.

I Turned My Repetitive CSV Checks Into a Python CLI

I kept running the same checks whenever I opened a new CSV or Excel file. Missing values. Duplicate rows. Mixed numeric and text values. Bad dates. Columns that never change.

  • Shahed Razavi created Data Quality Detective (dqdetect) Python CLI tool
  • Analyzes datasets for issues like missing values, duplicates, mixed types, outliers
  • Generates Markdown and HTML reports with suggestions for further inspection

48-Hour Field Notes: I Would Fingerprint the Locale Before I Blame the Fixture

Have you ever watched a text fixture pass on your laptop and then fail on a clean remote job? I keep meeting that surprise when the file looks identical and the decoder still disagrees with it.

  • Record locale before diagnosing text fixture failures.
  • Consider codec as first suspect for UnicodeDecodeError.
  • Compare free model and free server environments.
