December 22

Today was a long day for me, I am still on triple shot. I kinda got stuck for awhile on one thing. Unfortunately it was the same issue I had from yesterday. I managed to solve it but I feel like I wasted a lot of time on one issue. Good news is that I got through it even with some difficulty I still got it done. This was one of the more mentally challenging days I’ve had.

Coding can be mentally and physically challenging for the human body. Of course at the end of a work day your brain is so exhausted sometimes you don’t want to think about anything else but nothing. But all of us in this program are beginning to understand that a video game designers work day doesn’t end at 5pm. If you have a solution to a problem you’ve been trying to figure out it can come to you in the middle of the night. Or you could have a game idea, if you do don’t forget to write it down.

On this path of becoming a video game developer I’m learning many different things. It is a lot of repetition but it’ll be worth in the end. I didn’t get as far into triple shot as I wanted. I’m not gonna lie I got a little discouraged since I was stuck for a good amount of time. I know we were told not to stay on one problem too long. But I am the type of person to learn on my own before asking others. I have no problem asking others I just like to try first before asking for help.
