Day 34

I’m going to keep a promise to myself of keeping you shorter and uploading some actual videos for once. I don’t have the tools I need to edit them to my liking but they do in fact exist and you can see what I’ve been doing.

In the final debugging stage it’s very clear that I’m getting some contacts from the enemies and the players going to them represented here by the line green the target each other interchangably. If you underline things it’s done work below this that would mean I was finished with the coding part. Really it has come down to these two bugs. If I can get away with doing this without recreating the whole thing I will consider that a major accomplishment because I wasn’t really aware that I could do it that way and that has taught me a lot. I would necessarily recommend doing that if you knew early on but I’m glad that I stuck with a project and actually tried to fix it because there’s going to be some time when I can’t just throw out the whole project. The skills I learned from sticking with this are going to be extremely useful then. Sometimes there’s just a deadline and you might fix it in patch but you can’t restart every time something goes wrong or you’d be perpetually just restarting things and being able to pull this off would be kind of an amazing landmark for me because I would know that I could do something like that if I needed to. It’s not the only approach but sometimes it’s going to be.

Anyway here’s I’m the videos you might have to click on the link to get to them. I really can’t figure out how to get medium to embed the video. I followed the instructional video they have on it and I’m clicking on the little plus sign that appears and it just seems to do nothing. Fabulous oh, but then again I have a feeling it might be the security settings I have on my browser so I will eventually do that on my own time but for now click the link the videos are there. Maybe if I’m really really lucky and just actually post the game up.Some of my classmates have brought my attention that you can just post free games that you’re working on immunities website for some exposure. Great at least it’s obvious that I have been doing something. I think you’ll be carrying a lot more when I have something that I can actually released as a mobile but until then it’s nice to have something and I will soon enough even if I have to restart from zero from the 98% complete mark.

Oh I am planning on replacing a lot of the graphics when I do my final version but I am completely okay with polishing it on my own. I consider this the make the cake phase and then I can have some fun dreaming up how I’m going to ice it.

I’m going to keep on developing no matter whether I’m being paid so this isn’t the end for me. In that since I feel like this is a positive experience that I will carry with me throughout my life not just you short time that I was officially an intern for the program.
