First Day Came with a Bang

May 22, 2009

Well, the first day of the summer came with a big bang. The first 4 hours session went by with no trouble. The school week experiment was only partly a success( Because I could only achieve half of the stated goal for the weekend). So I hope I’ll fare better with the 4 hours work day for the whole summer.

Already, the 4 hours stragtegy saw trememdous benefit. Here’s the breakdown:

Hour 1 was mostly spent brothering Jacius for information. He finally spent me an example all the while showing his annoyance. It was tremedously helpful.

Hour 2 and 3 were spent on getting the RubyTet’s custom event system working and fixing unit tests. There were time coding just litterally stopped as I try to figure out why it is happening. I was able to get a lot of parts of the final game feature(the yellow gem) finished.

Hour 4 were mostly spent on writing my game tutorial.

My goal for the summer is to basically code 4 hours on projects everyday. This way I’ll be able to make quick and solid progress. There will be a lot of obstacle and difficulty since I have to code lot of technologies or learn lot of technologies from the ground up. These learning opportunity will really slow down the development of the game for weeks at a time but it is unavoidable.
