Description

Snappy Gurus is a free community with a Discord server for developers looking to have lively discussions about the gaming world.

The community started as a YouTube channel, and due to its success, it now has a server on Discord where viewers can interact with each other. Its main objective is to be an educational resource for members to improve their programming skills. The server focuses on the development of games as a professional career.

The community hosts learning events such as talks and Q&A sessions with experts. All of these are free and you don't need to register previously. Also, there is a weekly challenge in which members create a specific code to solve a given situation. This is a great opportunity to practice your programming skills.

Additionally, the server includes a section for members to get help and feedback. It's a place where you can ask questions on 3D modeling, animation, programming, and design. Moreover, members also enjoy a space for showcasing their projects and having off-topic discussions. 

There are two last sections inside the server. The first one is for gamers as it has a text and voice channel for this purpose. The second one is to share news about programming and gaming.
