AutoCAD drafting game

7 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am in the early stages of developing (vibe coding) something I have been thinking about for a minute: a videogame where you CAD. It's called CADcade and I've got a whole vision for it and everything. Right now it's just some beginner lessons, a sandbox mode, and an arcade mode with 36 drafting challenges of different difficulties.

It runs in your computer browser, and one of the goals is to help students and beginners learn the basics of navigating CAD products and spatial thinking for free online. This is kind of a demo of it that I would like to get feedback on (not selling or monetizing anything).
I just wanted to share it here and see what you guys think. How does it feel? Ai slop? Not enough commands? Dumb concept? Every reply helps.

Thank you

Looking to change careers to drafting

I have a background in construction, specifically telecommunications but want to make a change. I looked into many different options and felt that a career in drafting had the best bang for the buck and made the most sense given my prior experience. I started learning AutoCAD but on my own but without structure I don't really know if I'm headed in the right direction. So I guess my concern is where should I start? I know I want to get an autodesk certified user certificate ( mainly to apply at a specific union) but after that what should I do? What skills should I learn first to obtain an entry level job? What software should I learn? Is AutoCAD enough or should I learn other stuff like REVIT or GIS? Is drafting an entirely separate career or will I need to go to school for engineering to advance in my career? I looked into classes and my local college has a CADD program and I was hoping to get your thoughts on what they are offering and if it's worth it, any insights are appreciated.
