Moments of collaboration we loved in October:

• 🎮 Game Development Engines 101 — @tudtidtld asked the real question: "Which engines should I learn?" @Ashwin-1718 crushed it with a game-changing breakdown of Unity, Unreal, and Godot—complete with a cheat sheet that has everyone bookmarking the thread. 🚀

• 🏫 Campus Events Platform Hackathon Win — @alien1611 and crew turned a hackathon challenge into 2nd place magic thanks to @bengigone and @tommatson sharing their battle-tested stack (FastAPI + React = 🔥). The proof? They won!

• 🌍 Multilingual Projects? No Paywalls Required — @Kavinsharmaa needed Persian-English translation on a budget. @ryantido came through with a free API treasure map—Google Cloud, LibreTranslate, MyMemory—plus real code examples. Bookmark this one! 📍

• ☁️ MERN Stack Hosting: Free Tier Wins — @muhammad00707-max asked what we've all wondered: "Can I host for free?" @awais4212 dropped the ultimate combo: Vercel + Render + MongoDB Atlas. No credit card needed. Problem solved.
