I am reading how to make a game

by Minhaz-Us-Salakeen Fahme. And in the book there is a chapter talking about game engines and what they do. They talk about unity, unreal and Godot I have heard about unity. I don’t think I knew about unreal and I certainly had never heard of Godot.

In the book the authors say to get good at one game engine instead of knowing little bits about multiple game engines.

And if you have read this blog you know I like to dabble in a lot of programming languages. And I am sure game engines would be know different.

But, I am going to take the authors advice and get good at one game engine. For now I will choose Godot. And if I find I cant figure out how to use it or don’t like it I can always change later.

Now all I need to do is get learning Godot. I hope.

One of the items I want to juggle are tennis balls

I saw a juggling video on the internet that I thought said not to juggle with tennis balls. But, on a taylor tries video about juggling around the world people in Afghanistan juggle with tennis balls because they don’t have anything else to juggle with.

So I think it would be fun to learn to juggle tennis balls. So hopefully that is something I will try in 2022.

I am reading a book called how to make a game

Its about how to make a video game. One of the questions they ask is why do you want to make a video game. Do you want to make a game because you like the idea of someone playing your video game. Are you making a video game for the money.

I thought about it and I want to make a video game to have the thrill of someday having someone play my video game. To enjoy a world I created.

Right now no one can play a video game because I have not made a video game. But, I hope to start making one.

I am sure I said at the begging of this year

that this will be the year that I make a game or some other programming project. And here it is almost the end of the year and nothing.

Sure I have gone through some of the courses on kaggle. But, I have not made my own projects. Any project of mine is nowhere to be found. Because I have not made one yet. Or at least finished a project I have started.

There are still about 3 weeks to the end of there year so I have time to make a little project or at least start one so I can have something to show programming wise for 2021.

I know I want to make games, and learn more about machine learning, A.I., Data science. I know I want to get good at using python, and pharo. Now all I need to do is get to working making a project.

I am working through the advanced

sql course on kaggle. I want to get through all the courses that kaggle has but, on somedays I don’t do anything on kaggle.

I have been on kaggle for about 4 years and I think its time I get through all their courses and start making some data science and machine learning projects. Those skills are not going to improve themselves by me only thinking about them. I need to practice.

I hope soon that I will start

making oatmeal breakfast plays a video game videos and putting them on youtube. Its been over six months since I have made a video. I think if I got a microphone it would be a lot quicker to make a video. I also want to steam on twitch.tv.

I know I want to make videos of my video game play. I think I would want to play retro bowl as on of the games I would stream or make gameplay videos of.

I also might want to stream myself making things in blender. I think it also would be fun to stream myself coding in pharo. But, I am not very good at writing anything in pharo. Maybe if I stream my pharo coding it would spur me on to get better. Or maybe not.

So anyway I hope to make gameplay and other videos and stream eventually. I have not stopped making videos for good.

I read Becoming a video game designer

by Daniel Noah Halpbern. I learned about Brendon Chung the founder of Blendo games from the book. Its the first time I have heard of Blendo games. And I am glad I learning about the company because the games sound like they would be fun. I have not played any of their games yet.

I was kind of disappointed though. The book talks about Brendon Chung doing livestreams while doing some of his game design. But, when I looked on twitch he had not made a video in 2 years.

I also checked Blendo games youtube channel and all they had was short videos and videos are not uploaded often.

So I won’t be watching any livestreams of Brendon’s game making but, at least there are the games.

I like t he name Quadrilateral Cowboy. So I hope to play that game someday. As a matter of fact I hope I play all of Blendo’s games someday.
