I'm looking to build a cool IRL leveling system that helps me achieve personal goals through gamification. Since I'm not the best at self-motivation and I'm neurodivergent, I'd love to create something that incorporates leveling mechanics, skill trees, and narrative-driven quests. I'm hoping to find others who are passionate about this kind of system and can help me design it. My aim is to track specific attributes over time and make the process fun and engaging!

Have you checked out Obsidian? A lot of folks are using it for organizing their D&D games, but it could totally work for your goal tracking system too! It has a lot of flexibility when it comes to building custom workflows.
The best way to learn programming is to create something you're actually interested in, and this sounds like an awesome project! Consider building a web app with a database; you can log activities, visualize progress with graphs, and implement a leveling system.
Why not try coding it yourself? I mean, you're in r/learnprogramming for a reason! You could explore various languages suited for your project. If you’re juggling multiple ideas, focus on one language that you can apply across those projects.
Honestly, you could set this up in Excel! It might not be as flashy, but it's super functional for tracking progress and you can design it to your liking. A few formulas could create a leveling system without needing to dive too deep into programming.
Totally! I’m thinking of making a Venn diagram of sorts in my head to find the best fit. What languages do you think would work best for something like this?
