Dropping a same-day, evening SaaS update on Tuesday:
- Had unexpected free time in the second half of the day, and spent it on Coding Escape II until late at night (it's almost 11 pm now).
Made serious progress on the game, and have been learning more Coding non-stop.
As I mentioned before, every hour of Coding time (even when I'm just stuck/struggling) has helped me get better and more confident.
For Coding nerds - specifically, tonight I've hit another small target I set for the Escape II:
Remember, yesterday I had gotten the new, more complex Game Loop running.
But, you could only stand inside the starting room and enter the basic interface commands.
Today though, I took it to the next level:
I got 3 connected rooms up-and-running, each with descriptions, action options, and other small features.
You can step between them and everything works as intended!
Even my own code has parts I don't quite understand:
There are still little bits of my own Game Loop code that I don't completely understand...
Like, I fiddled with a couple high-level elements that still confuse me, but I got the whole thing working as intended.
So I'm sure as I build out the rest of the game, that little part will make more and more sense to me.
And 95% of the code makes perfect sense to me.
From here, it's a pretty simple matter to finish re-building the rest of the rooms of the game from v1.0.
Then it's on to add more features and cool new details.
This is so freaking fun. I'm having a great time learning this, with the Game project and my friends / brother to learn from and show my work to.
One of my best friends says he wants to play the game the moment it's finished.
All in all, even if I don't make $100 mil, this is a really fun thing to do
More updates soon!
I may stay up and code more, but I need to step away and stretch (mentally, physically) for a bit.
And have some dinner.
Good luck to all!
