- I'm not a Game Developer. I'm aspiring, but I don't know most of what I'd like, although I've come quite a ways.
- I love programming, but I am no expert. I grasp most of the important concepts of programming (although in 10 years I'm sure I'll look at the code I'm writing today and projectile vomit).
- I don't know what I don't know.
So, it's been a while. I understand that. Good thing I don't have a following, because if I did, this (inconsistent posting) would look really bad. Since you don't know me, I'll try to catch you up a bit.
I had a nice long summer, and had the honor to serve at Bear Creek Scout Reservation. There I was able to meet a lot of nice people, and learn more about myself. A lot of weirdos, crazies, and a series of insane camp stories were written into my memory (which will make some great examples later). I also enjoyed many a hours sitting on the edge of my seat finishing up my Ray-Caster I wrote in C++.
I've had some more experiences with programming, and recently was introduced to the one and only, Jacob Allred, creator of Fake Name Generator. Him and I are currently working on a new website - mainly for geeks - that generates random RPG character ideas (and eventually more!!!). I don't want to spoil it too much, but I'm really excited about it.
I recently read Game Programming Patterns by Bob Nystrom. It is extremely well written, and I recommend it to ANY PROGRAMMER REMOTELY INTERESTED IN GAMES. First off, if you're a programmer, you are more than likely interested by games. Second off, everything in that book is applicable to more than games. A great thing about it is that Nystrom has a great sense of humor, which makes it a lot easier read.
Thank you readers!
