Math is not about memorization.

I’ve always had a bit paradoxical relationship with math. On one hand, i often find math both interesting and fascinating in the way it can do seemingly impossible things. To find numbers using a small subset of what you know, and solving problems that puzzle the brain has always been interesting to me. However, in most math classes, i, like most, have been bored out of my mind.

Let the programming commence!

Started the programming course this Monday. We started with some basic loops and initiations and lastly we made a guessing game where the user guessed a number (1-100) and the game would give you feedback on how close you were to the the correct number. 
I have to say, I wished we would’ve started the course earlier, this is probably the most intellectual fun I’ve had in months!
SPOILER ALERT
Other than that I got into Attack on Titan this week. The narrative completely […]

Basics, a dungeon crawler and concrete examples

Good day peepz!
The programming course has started and I’m super exited for that! The first week has passed and the tempo seems fine. The course is teaching really basic things right now, but I learn stuff anyway. I guess it goes a bit fast for people who have never programmed before but if they keep coding every day and think it’s fun… then they will have no problem!
I’ve started creating a dungeon crawler in which I’m learning a lot about […]

Back to basics!

Alright then, back to basics. This week my 2D drawing course started in school and it has so far been a very fun experience. I got to learn how to draw basic humans using simple and fast methods. I’ve never really been taught by anyone on how to draw or sketch before and most of my drawing experience comes from drawing whatever came to mind. I got to do sketching of nude models which felt weird at first but I […]

Everybody Is a Noob Jam

Today I had my second game jam and it was very fun and a learning experience. We had to create a game in Game Maker in 5-6 hours. The game was to be inspired from two words, these were Everyday and Doom. In a team of 3 coders and a poor artist (me) we started planning out the game. Luckily everyone worked really well together and we quickly decided on our idea.
A retro-styled platformer in low resolution was what we […]
