The first week of programming

I don’t have much experience in programming. I took two courses in 2008/9 but I don’t have much memory of that.
After our first lecture we were handed a sheet with different exercises that we should have finished this week, our group of friends pretty much aced them in one sitting.
This is on of our exercises.
”Program 26
– Write a program that simulates the guessing game
– The magic number to be guessed should be random at every run of the program
– Let […]

This week we begun our 2D graphics course, which was fun! The first couple of days we talked about anathomy and we got to do croquis with a nude model. The time we had to draw each pose ranged between 30 seconds and five minutes. I like that by flipping through the pages in my sketchbook I can see the difference between the morning of the first day and the afternoon of the last day.
Our assignment for this week was […]

Programming – Week 1

This weeks assignments was a bit to easy because I’ve been programming in C# before. I decided to give myself an assignment, Tic Tac Toe.
By creating this game i learned new syntax such as std::string and system(”cls”). I also learned how to create a two dimensional array. In C# you could create one using the datatype and then [ ] for normal array and [ , ] for a two dimensional.
I learned that in C++ you create arrays by typing the […]

Week 1: Getting to know C++

For this first week in my programming course I started to learn how to write code in C++ . Before I started this course I had been programming in Java and php. This first week was a introduction to programming and I felt like it was really good because I am still new to C++.
The fist lesson we talked about Computers and the history of programming and computers. This was very interesting because I learned a lot about computer history […]

Spel programmering, Vecka 1

Den här veckan så startade vi vår första programmeringskurs. Jag är inte ny till programming då jag gick en programmering och webutvecklings linje i gymnasiet. Dock så har jag aldrig skrivit i c++ förut så den här veckan har jag gått igenom c++ syntax.
Det enda jag egentligen visste om c++ är att det är ett statiskt programmeringsspråk, med det så menar man att alla variabler måste sägas till vad de är för något.
Ex:

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
int number = [...]

Returning to Shape

At the moment writing this, I recently began my first game programming course. The first week of the course has passed by really fast and was over before I knew it. So far it has been an easy time giving me a chance to remember what I learnt before I began here. Over all quite a relaxing start that helped me ease into coding again
That said, the tempo is quite high, and had I not known most of what was […]

Game Programming 3 week 1

So, a new course has begun. Game Programming 3. This course focuses on 3D programming, with some networking too. This first week was about templates, linked lists and binary search trees.
Templates were something I had not worked with before and I must say that I start to like them. Instead of having to create a new function for each of type of parameters (int, float, double, etc) it should be able to take, I could just make a template function. […]
